Although Liu Yunqi had many grievances against Jiang Xiaoling, she still tried her best to put on a smile and maintain her elegant image.
The farce eventually fizzled out. The shareholders all took Xu Yi's words as a joke on the surface, but in reality, they were all thinking about their own things.
Jiang Xiaoling was dragged to the office by him. She was a little angry and forcefully shook off his hand.
She frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want?" She deliberately used the informal "you" to sound distant and aloof.
Xu Yi tried to get closer to her, but she stopped him with her hand and took a step back to keep her distance.
Do you know how childish you are to do this today?
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "I know, you don't need to remind me."
Jiang Xiaoling slowly exhaled, her tone slightly weary: "Actually, what you're doing is useless. In the end, your father still won't agree to us being together, and you still have to marry Liu Yunqi."
She didn't want to give Xu Yi a chance, nor did she want to fall into his trap.
"Why?" Xu Yi asked.
Jiang Xiaoling was puzzled: "What?"
“Give me a reason to give up on you.” He seemed somewhat formal.
Jiang Xiaoling was stunned. If she didn't like him, she just didn't like him. Did she need a reason? If there was one, it was that she couldn't find the feeling of love when she was with him, and she didn't like boys like that.
She sighed and lowered her head, saying, "I'm not worth it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yi quickly continued, "Then I won't give up. As long as you're not married, I still have a chance."
After saying that, he quickly left the place.
Jiang Xiaoling knew that many girls were pursuing Xu Yi, and some women even wanted to have his child, but he chose to run away and not take responsibility. She didn't want to start a relationship with Xu Yi in such an irresponsible way.
She couldn't understand why Xu Yi, who looked down on everyone else, had fallen for her, sent all the other women away, and started pursuing her relentlessly.
However, liking is one thing, and loving is another.
Liking someone might just be a fleeting infatuation, something you can easily grow tired of. But love is different; it's a responsibility, and clearly, Xu Yi can't and won't shoulder that responsibility. He can't guarantee her a future.
Therefore, she had to keep him a thousand miles away, which was better for both of them.
Mingheng
Gu Yuan has been feeling a little better these past few days and has started to get back to work. However, he sometimes likes to stare blankly at the scenery outside the window, and even Bai Xin doesn't know what he's looking at every time she comes in.
The same thing happened that day; Bai Xin put a pile of documents on his desk.
Then he clapped his hands and said, "These all require your signature."
Gu Yuan responded softly, then remained silent.
Bai Xin was slightly unwilling. Logically speaking, Gu Yuan should have been hers after Fu Hange left. Now, she couldn't even find a chance to have a proper talk with him.
Bai Xin then said coquettishly, "President Gu, you haven't been talking to me much lately. I remember when we used to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yuan slammed the document heavily on the table.
His tone was somewhat impatient: "Have you said enough? If you have, then get out and don't disturb my work."
She was startled, but she still made sure to get down to business: "President Gu, our product sales have been much lower than before recently, so I'm thinking of having you cooperate with another company to temporarily alleviate the current situation."
Fearing that Gu Yuan would be angry, Bai Xin shut up and lowered her head after speaking, waiting for his judgment.
Instead of the expected barrage of criticism, Gu Yuan asked rather seriously, "Who are you planning to cooperate with?"
She swallowed hard. "Chen Yuan."
