Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Don't Go
Tang Ningyue shouldn't have come in, she knew it very well.
The indoor lights shone between the two people, who sat face to face, as if they were negotiating in a conference room.
"what's on your mind?"
During the meal, Tang Ningyue was either absent-minded or had her attention focused entirely on Naitang. Li Jinglang did not get annoyed, and even continued to greet her with a smile, constantly picking up food for her.
"You've changed a lot."
Tang Ningyue finally looked at him and said something indifferent.
"You don't like it?"
“....”
Tang Ningyue glanced at him and didn't answer.
He kept his eyelids drooped and never looked up at her, as if he knew her answer, but also as if he was afraid of getting her answer.
Li Jinglang's appearance hasn't changed much in the past two years, but his temperament is very different from before, and his whole demeanor has also changed a lot.
But in Tang Ningyue's eyes, he had not changed at all, even though he tried hard to pretend to be different from before.
She just said what he wanted to hear, but he believed it.
"It doesn't matter." Li Jinglang shrugged nonchalantly, giving a bitter laugh. "You didn't like me the way I was before anyway."
"Did I?"
Tang Ningyue leaned back in her chair. The tug-of-war had just begun. She hadn't intended to engage him in combat, but Li Jinglang kept pursuing her.
“....”
The corner of Li Jinglang's mouth twitched, and his expression quickly returned to normal, but he was still caught by Tang Ningyue.
She pulled the corner of her mouth, lowered her head and poked half of the salt and pepper shrimp with a fork.
"Then why did you marry him?"
During an avalanche, just one snowflake can cause a devastating collapse of the entire mountain.
After hearing this, Tang Ningyue's smile widened. She tilted her head and put down her fork.
"Then why are you pretending?" Tang Ningyue held up her chin with a triumphant look on her face. "I thought... you really had changed."
“.....”
It's always embarrassing to be exposed, and he didn't even last through the second meeting.
He was still her defeated opponent.
“.....”
The two people's eyes met, and Li Jinglang always lost first during the confrontation, but it was just that he always cherished this relationship more than her.
He is pitiful and wronged, but it is all his own fault.
Li Jinglang took a deep breath, and the sour smell in his nose had not come out for a long time.
In the past two years, whether he was rejected or set up, he had never experienced this before as the company developed to this point. Even if he was devastated or helpless, he had to swallow his anger and it seemed that everything would just pass.
It would never be like this, just because of her words...
"What he can give you..." Li Jinglang couldn't help choking. Whenever he argued with her like this, he was speechless, only filled with grievances. "What he gave you, I can give you now."
"Whether it's Zhuhua, a project, or investment in your new film...it's all fine."
"And unlike him, I won't be held hostage by anyone in my family."
Every time this happened, he would express his opinion anxiously. Even though he knew it was a hunger marketing campaign, he still threw himself into the fire like a moth. His mind was a mess and he couldn't hear anything.
"Are you making a deal with me?" Tang Ningyue was very open about her twisted mentality. She just liked to see a man obsessed and lost, the more he couldn't control himself, the better.
She was very proud of herself.
"Didn't you make a deal with him?" Li Jinglang frowned. Although he knew he had fallen into her trap, he still lay down obediently and allowed himself to be beaten and scolded.
"So what?" Tang Ningyue pursed her lips and asked herself, it's not that she was reluctant to part with Zhou Yuhe, but as a vested interest, she was too greedy.
"You'll only let go after you've squeezed the Zhou family dry?"
"Maybe I will consider you then." Tang Ningyue smiled and spoke like a devil.
The resources brought by Zhou Yuhe are continuously increasing. As long as the Zhou family does not fall, she will be able to get a steady share of this meat soup.
"I can give more."
Li Jinglang felt that he was worse than milk candy. He was pushed around and abandoned by many people. He was abandoned many times by one person.
Xu Qing didn't understand why Naitang was so close to him. Perhaps it smelled the same smell of being abandoned on him as it did.
"Li Jinglang, you've known from the beginning that I'm a bad woman. There's no need to go through fire and water for me. Just live your life well."
"Can you use your kindness to pity me?"
Whenever this topic came up, Li Jinglang would break down. She would always pretend to be kind and then stab him in the heart with a sharp knife.
“....”
This topic obviously cannot be continued, otherwise it will be endless and I don’t know how long it will last.
"Are you full?"
Tang Ningyue put down the knife and fork in her hand, no longer responded, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“....”
Li Jinglang tightened his grip on the fork and felt his temples throbbing wildly.
He took a deep breath, pretended nothing was wrong, and swallowed the sour water that rose up in his stomach.
He couldn't lose his composure like before. At least in front of her, he had to retain some dignity.
"I'm going on a business trip in a few days. Please take care of Naitang for me." He was barely breathing and took several deep breaths before he spoke.
"Okay." Tang Ningyue crossed her arms and agreed immediately.
"I'll have someone send it over tomorrow." Li Jinglang didn't have the energy to say anything more to her. He just lowered his eyes and answered mechanically.
"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."
She had already stood up, but Li Jinglang was still sitting in his seat with his eyelids drooping, as if he was trying hard to hide his emotions.
It’s just that some physiological reactions are uncontrollable and sudden, and cannot be controlled by any willpower at all.
Hot tears fell into the plate, and the splashing water droplets landed on the back of his hand.
All the emotions turned into a swollen teardrop, shattering into pieces on the porcelain plate.
"Li Jinglang..." Tang Ningyue called him helplessly.
"Why are you crying again?"
She walked across the table to his side, half leaning on the table, raised the back of her hand, and subconsciously tried to wipe away the tear that had slid down to his chin.
"You should leave now."
He tilted his head, refusing to accept such sympathy.
"Is it so uncomfortable?" Tang Ningyue leaned down slightly, her curly hair hanging in front of him, exuding fragrance.
"It's none of your business."
“....”
Tang Ningyue scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest, "So these tears have nothing to do with me, right?"
".....Um."
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
“....”
Tang Ningyue gathered her coat and stood up to leave. Li Jinglang still didn't answer, only the tears from his other eye fell on the table.
He suddenly grabbed her hand, just like when he asked her to sleep with him when they were little, holding it lightly, not daring to use force, let alone let go.
"What again?"
He finally raised his eyes. His eyelids were already red, which was particularly obvious on his fair face. His eyelids were pressed down by the tears, and half of the tear was contained in them, trembling with his eyeballs.
"Don't do this to me..."
“Don’t go…”
