No one else could understand this feeling better than Xi Xiaye.
Was it not the sa with Xi Xinyi and her?
Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi did everything they could to leave Yueying to Xi Xinyi. They had even drugged her and tried to get her into Qi Lei’s bed. Their intentions were as clear as day!
However, things did not turn out the way they wanted.
Just how similar could their fate be?
Just that, she was way luckier than Qi Lei right now.
Xi Xiaye had no words at the mont.
“You have to hang in there no matter what. Don’t forget about CEO Wang’s expectations of you. You’ll be able to walk your own path like even if you leave them. The two of us have oddly similar fates. If I’m lucky enough to escape from my shackles, I believe you will too. Isn’t everything going right on track now?” She tried to encourage him.
Qi Lei laughed. “Are you worried about ?”
Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him. “I promised CEO Wang that I’d look after you. I can’t go back on my promise now. I’ve t Qi Feng several tis, but I can’t figure him out at all.” She spread open her palms, the scars on them still visible.
Qi Lei paused. “I’m sorry for getting you involved.”
“Since when are you so polite? It’s not your fault anyway, so you don’t have to apologize. Gu Qiwu and Doris are filing for divorce right now. I guess Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng aren’t having an easy ti at the mont. You should be quick with what you’re doing so that you wouldn’t be too affected when Qi Feng takes over Qi Kai.”
“I’ve heard about that too. The lawyer Gu Qiwu looked for is Liuyun’s mother. It seems like he’s eager to win this.”
Qi Lei had heard from Yang Sheng that Gu Qiwu invested a lot into hiring Dongfang Liuyun’s mother, the undefeatable legendary lawyer.
Liuyun?
Xi Xiaye seed surprised. She frowned and gave Qi Lei a aningful glance. “Are you very close with Ms. Dongfang?”
Qi Lei felt a chill when he heard Xi Xiaye’s question. He looked back into her eyes before replying, “Well, not really. We just played so gas together and went out drinking once or twice.”
“Interesting, Ms. Dongfang seems great. Aren’t you the Casanova? It’d be amazing if you could make her your wife. I know a little bit about Ms. Dongfang. My father is convincing her to join University A as a lecturer. They are recruiting for an archeology expert, and it’d be great if she can join.” Xi Xiaye smiled as she looked at Qi Lei.
He shrugged and gave her his usual glance. “What a heartless woman. The whole world knows that my heart belongs to you. You’d have beco my wife already if Mu Yuchen was just a tad slower, and Mu Xiaocheng would’ve been called Qi Xiaocheng! Aren’t you worried that I’ll be sad about what you said? Don’t you know that my heart is very fragile?”
1Qi Lei’s expression was calm despite what he was saying, and Xi Xiaye sohow noticed a subtle darkened expression on his face.
Xi Xiaye went silent as she was not sure what reply she should give.
“Don’t feel pressured. I just feel the need to tell you that I like you. I don’t expect you to reciprocate the feelings. I do feel envious about Mu Yuchen at tis. He’s just too lucky. How is he the one who got you in the end?”
Qi Lei’s tone beca heavy as he continued, “Xiaye, you’re a great woman. At the very least, you’re the best among the ones I know although we share similar life experiences. Fate doesn’t want us to be together, but I’m sure we’d be happy if we were together.”
“You’ll find soone better,” Xi Xiaye closed her eyes and said.
“I’m just ranting over here, so pay no mind. Don’t say sothing like that to again. It’s cruel to say stuff like that to a man who was fond of you before. I’m pretty open-minded. I genuinely wish the best for Mu Yuchen and you. If you could find Mu Yuchen for yourself, I believe I can find a woman who suits too.”
Qi Lei found Xi Xiaye’s awkwardness funny.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and looked at him. “Then, can’t you just keep the feelings inside your heart and not blurt it out? Sotis, pointing out the elephant in the room isn’t the best idea, don’t you think?”
“You might tell Mu Yuchen I told you so that he’ll feel a sense of urgency and cherish you better. I’m doing an extrely generous move right now. How could you criticize instead of showing gratitude, you heartless woman?!” Qi Lei casually touched his nose as he looked at Xi Xiaye. Only he could do this, bending logic and twisting words in his favor.
“It’s a sha that you’re not doing sales or marketing. You can consider coming over to Fuhua’s marketing departnt.”
“Go and get Mu Yuchen. He’ll definitely say yes. It’s about ti now. I’ll have to go and take a look later. Rember to tell Mu Yuchen to be careful of Qi Feng. I sense that Qi Feng is a little...I’m feeling uneasy, so just be on alert...”
