"What's wrong?"
Ji Qi asked seriously, his voice was deep and gentle, and at this moment his deep eyes were staring at Xu Lingyi.
"Flowers are for people you love. President Ji and I..." Xu Lingyi bit her lip, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "We are just superiors and subordinates. You shouldn't give me flowers."
"I know, flowers are for people you love."
Ji Qi's dark eyes were full of seriousness and solemnity.
"Because I like you, I want to give flowers to you."
Ji Qi took a deep breath and said it anyway.
He looked at her without blinking, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation.
Ji Qi didn't want to hide his feelings any longer, so he endured it for a while and played the role of boss and employee to her.
He was finding it a little hard to make progress, and he wasn't going to put up with it any longer.
There is no construction without destruction. Even if Xu Lingyi knew his feelings, she would distance herself from him and draw a clear line between them.
He still wanted to let her know that he liked her.
Xu Lingyi was stunned. "Mr. Ji, don't joke like that. Today is not April Fool's Day."
Xu Lingyi forced a smile and spoke, but still tried to hide her shock at the moment.
"Xu Lingyi." Ji Qi held her thin shoulders and asked her to face him.
He leaned over and stared into her eyes, "No kidding, I like you."
Ji Qi was tall, and Xu Lingyi, standing in front of him, wearing high heels, was barely up to his chin.
She looked up at Ji Qi, who stood there straight, like a slender bamboo.
Xu Lingyi accidentally met his deep eyes, and she was shocked by the affection in his eyes.
She unconsciously stepped back a little, but was firmly held by Ji Qi's big hands and could not move.
"You..." Xu Lingyi's throat seemed to be blocked, the back of her ears was red, and even the shoulder that he touched felt a little hot.
"Mr. Ji, we...anyway, you can't like me." Xu Lingyi took a deep breath, her voice trembling.
"Why can't I like you? Is it because of Jiang Qi?" Ji Qi's deep eyes narrowed slightly.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and remained silent, she just pursed her lips.
She didn't say anything, but Ji Qi didn't want the two of them to remain silent.
"Because Jiang Qi and I are friends? Because of your marriage to Jiang Qi?"
Ji Qi lowered his eyes and looked at her straight.
"Actually, you don't need to worry about Jiang Qi. You and Jiang Qi were going to divorce anyway. The agreement has already been signed. Now all that's left is the final formality."
"You and Jiang Qi will become strangers sooner or later. I can wait until you and Jiang Qi divorce before I officially pursue you."
"If it's because of my friendship with Jiang Qi..."
Ji Qi's eyes were dark, and his voice was hoarse, "I can break up with Jiang Qi and just treat him as a stranger."
Xu Lingyi still shook her head. She whispered calmly:
"Boss Ji... I just assumed you were drunk today. I didn't hear these words..."
After saying this, Xu Lingyi was about to leave, but Ji Qi grabbed her and said:
"Why? I thought that after spending time with you, you should know what kind of person I am. At least you wouldn't reject me."
Ji Qi held her hand and said, "If you don't like me, or feel that I have crossed the line, I can promise that I will only treat you as a subordinate in the company. Today I just want you to know my feelings."
"Boss Ji, everything that happened today was too sudden. Let's go back and calm down first."
Xu Lingyi tried to push his hand away, but Ji Qi held it tightly.
"Xu Lingyi, do you really not like me at all?"
Ji Qi thinks that his conditions are no worse than Jiang Qi's. He even thinks that he is more outstanding than Jiang Qi in appearance and his work ability is better than Jiang Qi.
He did not lose to Jiang Qi.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head: "Ji Qi, even if Jiang Qi and I want to separate, I haven't divorced Jiang Qi yet. If we tell others about this, everyone will scold us. This is also immoral."
Ji Qi nodded, "I know."
He knew that she was used to following the rules and had never done anything out of line since she was a child. She grew up to be a good girl.
"But I still can't help it. I can't help but be attracted to you."
"I don't really care about worldly morals, nor am I afraid of being scolded. I just want to know your feelings. If I put aside these worldly constraints and ignore my friendship with Jiang Qi, do I have any chance of being with you?"
What Ji Qi always cared about was Xu Lingyi's feelings.
Xu Lingyi was silent. To be fair, Ji Qi was an extremely outstanding man.
During this period of time, she had witnessed his strength in all aspects.
This was the first time I heard Ji Qi speak so humbly.
"Mr. Ji, why do you like me? If you want, there will be many girls who are better than me and have higher status who like you."
Xu Lingyi looked up in confusion.
"In my eyes, you are the best. No one else can compare to you. In fact, my strange illness still exists. When other women get close to me, I am still wary and nervous. Only when I am with you, I don't feel any discomfort."
"Because I like you. In fact, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you at your wedding banquet with Jiang Qi. After that, my eyes couldn't help but stay on you."
"That's why I immediately noticed you weren't there at the Lin family's banquet..."
His words reminded Xu Lingyi of his help that day.
She always remembered that Ji Qi saved her.
"Before Jiang Qi and I divorce, it's impossible for me to start a new relationship. Even if my marriage with him is dead in name only and even if we agreed to divorce, it's impossible."
Xu Lingyi said, "Ji Qi, if I want to start another intimate relationship, I have to wait until I get divorced. Do you understand?"
