The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1310 Yun Rui Juan Chen: What kind of illusion did it give

Yan Wanqing spoke at the right time, turning the topic back to work, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. But the air at the table was still as if frozen, heavy and suffocating.

Qi Ruixiang's attention was completely on Gu Yunxi. He helped her pick up dishes, poured water for her, and reminded her about fish bones, as if Yang Xiaotang and Yan Wanqing beside him were just invisible people.

Gu Yunxi seemed to have noticed something and tried to talk to Yang Xiaotang several times, but was interrupted by Qi Ruixiang calmly.

He used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed it in her bowl: "Eat quickly, this rib is very authentic, haven't you always wanted to eat it?"

"Yeah." Gu Yunxi lowered his head obediently, ate in small bites, and said nothing more.

Yang Xiaotang looked at the barely touched food in her bowl, her stomach churning. Unable to sit still any longer, the chair legs creaked as she stood up. "Sorry, I'm feeling a little unwell. I'll excuse myself for now."

"I'll take you there." Yan Wanqing stood up immediately.

"No need, Director Yan, I can do it myself." Yang Xiaotang's voice was tearful, but she straightened her back stubbornly, turned around and walked out of the restaurant quickly without looking back.

She could feel Qi Ruixiang's gaze on her back, a look of calculated indifference. She knew he had achieved his goal. She had completely given up hope.

Walking out of the restaurant, the evening breeze blew on her face, bringing a cool feeling. Yang Xiaotang could no longer hold back and squatted on the side of the road, bursting into tears.

Passersby cast strange glances at her, but she paid no heed. The grievances, resentment, expectations, and disappointments that had been pent up for so long finally burst forth at this moment, like a belated rainstorm.

In the restaurant, Qi Ruixiang stared at the thin figure outside the window, his fingers gripping the teacup slightly tighter. The tea was scalding hot, numbing his fingertips, but it couldn't dispel the inexplicable irritation deep within him.

"Don't you need to go and see, is she..." Gu Yunxi's voice was a little hesitant.

"It's okay." Qi Ruixiang interrupted her, a gentle smile on his face again. "Maybe she's not feeling well. Just let her be alone. Come, try this fish. I've picked out all the bones."

Yan Wanqing watched him skillfully conceal his emotions and sighed softly. This "public execution" planned by Gu Yunqian and carried out by Qi Ruixiang had finally come to an end in the most heartbreaking way.

The night outside the window grew darker and darker, and the neon lights lit up one after another, illuminating the streets of London as bright as day.

And in this hustle and bustle, there are always people who silently endure unknown pain and lick their bleeding wounds alone.

Yang Xiaotang walked aimlessly on the streets of London. The cold rain wet her hair and clothes, and flowed down her cheeks. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

She passed by a coffee shop and saw through the glass window a couple looking at each other and smiling. The boy gently wiped the coffee stains from the corner of the girl's mouth, his actions very much like what Qi Ruixiang did to Gu Yunxi.

Her heart felt like it was being yanked by something, the pain so severe that she could hardly breathe. She stumbled back a few steps, bumping into the lamppost behind her with a dull thud.

Passersby gave her strange looks, but she didn't care. She just squatted on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, and cried like a lost child.

Why? Why can he be so good to Gu Yunxi, but be so cold and hurtful to himself?

Why did I give so much, but get such a result?

Those moments that once made her heart beat, those hopes she thought of, have now become the sharpest knives, cutting into her heart one by one.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting her body painfully, but Yang Xiaotang didn't want to hide, as if only this could ease the pain in her heart.

She remembered how gentle Qi Ruixiang was when he helped Gu Yunxi tie her shoelaces, how doting he was when he told Gu Yunxi to "be obedient", and the light in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yunxi. Those scenes kept appearing in her mind, and every time it made her so painful that she couldn't breathe.

She didn't know how long she had been in the rain until she was freezing cold and her consciousness began to blur. Then she was helped up by a kind passerby and taken to a nearby convenience store.

The convenience store was well heated. She wrapped herself in the blanket handed to her by the clerk and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, her heart filled with silence.

"Miss, are you okay? Do you need me to make a phone call for you?" the clerk asked with concern.

Yang Xiaotang shook her head, her voice hoarse and unable to speak. She knew that no one could help her. This unrequited love that she had started could only be ended by herself.

At this time, Qi Ruixiang was slumped in the chair, with his hands inserted into his hair, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Gu Yunxi had changed into a set of silk pajamas. Her black hair shone with a crystal clear luster under the light. She looked calmly at the heavy rain outside the window, as if the fierce quarrel just now had never happened.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely depressing. Gu Yunxi was very dissatisfied with Qi Ruixiang using her to block his romantic interests, but she couldn't just watch the plot develop like that!

Miss Gu must take the initiative in the script!

"What do you want from me?" Qi Ruixiang finally raised his head, his voice filled with exhaustion and despair. "I've already made it clear to Yang Xiaotang. I've done enough. What else do you want from me?"

Gu Yunxi turned her head and her eyes fell on him, still as calm as a pool of stagnant water: "I didn't ask you to do anything, I was just asking you, have you ever fallen in love with her?"

"Did I tell you?" Qi Ruixiang stood up suddenly. Because he moved so quickly, he knocked over the chair behind him, making a harsh noise. "The person I have loved from the beginning to the end is you! Gu Yunxi, why don't you believe me?"

"Believe you?" Gu Yunxi smiled softly, a hint of sadness in his laughter. "How can I believe you? A little girl came all the way to find you, even going on a hunger strike to find you. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Her raw stones are her business! Why should I be held responsible for this?" Qi Ruixiang's voice was choked with sobs, his eyes red as a rabbit's. "I took you with me to swear sovereignty the first time. Isn't that enough?"

"What did you do to give her this illusion? Do I need to remind you?" Gu Yunxi put down the coffee cup in his hand, his eyes becoming sharp. "Didn't you take my mother to 'claim sovereignty' in the same way on her birthday?"

Qi Ruixiang was speechless after being asked this question.

He did not explicitly reject Yang Xiaotang, not for any other reason, but simply because he did not know how to say it. He was afraid of hurting her and afraid that she would do something extreme.

But he didn't expect that his hesitation and soft-heartedness would end up hurting two people.

"So what do you want from me? I don't want you to chase her, right?" Qi Ruixiang's voice lowered, with a hint of weakness, "What are you angry about?"

Qi Ruixiang seemed to come to his senses little by little, and the tentativeness and scrutiny in his eyes slowly gathered again. Gu Yunxi had never been an unreasonable person, and it was more of a tacit understanding between adults.

He can admit to some things and stand at attention even when being beaten, but he will never allow anyone to take advantage of the situation!
