Xiao Qi felt forlorn and closed his eyes in guilt. Sometimes love could become so fragile in the face of reality.
Although the person he dearly loved in his heart was Lan Qianyu, for the sake of his family business, for his pride, and for the sake of keeping up his appearances, he had betrayed her and got together with another woman.
…
Afterwards, Xiao Qi wrapped a bath towel around his waist and walked over to the sofa to pick up his phone. Seeing the name of the missed call in his phone, he felt his heart being wrenched and it hurt terribly. His thumb gently caressed over the name, but eventually he still closed the communication record, and did not call her back.
Right now, he could not face her.
Xiao Qi put down his mobile phone. Picking up his clothes that were on the sofa, he swiftly put them on. His entire mind was filled with Lan Qianyu. He wondered how her injury was. At a time like this, he really should be with her.
Bai Lu walked barefooted over to him and hugged Xiao Qi’s waist from behind. She said sweetly, “Leaving so quickly?”
“Let go.” Xiao Qi frowned, his expression that of disgust and annoyance. With her, he was just exploiting her and making a transaction with her. He had no feelings for her at all. He did not like her. He did not like her before, nor now, and he would still not fall for her in the future.
Bai Lu was not furious and admonished, “You’re like this every time.”
Xiao Qi plucked her hands off him and heartlessly pushed her away. He put his shirt on and buttoned it up one button at a time.
“Fine then, since you’re in such a hurry to leave, I’ll not force you to stay.” Bai Lu no longer pestered him. Sitting at the foot of the bed, she lit a lady’s cigarette and smoked it elegantly, her deep facial features seemed alluring amidst the smoke. However, in Xiao Qi’s mind, there was a sense of dominance in her appearance, and she was not a kind person by nature.
Xiao Qi ignored her. He got dressed, took his phone and car keys, and started to head out.
“You haven’t heard the method yet,” Bai Lu said this calmly, raising her eyebrows beautifully.
Xiao Qi stopped in his tracks. That’s right, he had come to the hotel with her and slept with her because she had told him that she had a good method that could definitely help him. If he left just like that, all his efforts tonight would have been in vain.
Although Xiao Qi seriously did not like Bai Lu, he had to admit that every time he faced a crisis, she would always be able to help him from behind. Even at times when her family might not be able to help, she could also give him advice and suggestions, and propose extremely beneficial solutions.
Xiao Qi turned around. His tone softened slightly as he asked, “What method?”
Bai Lu patted the spot next to her and tilted her chin, motioning for him to sit down.
Xiao Qi knitted his brows, but still walked over and sat down next to Bai Lu. Bai Lu blew a smoke ring into his face. Her red lips parted slightly, “You’re always so hot and cold, it breaks my heart.”
“Hurry and talk about it, don’t keep me in suspense.” Xiao Qi held Bai Lu’s hand. Suppressing his anxiety, he patiently coaxed, “Now, the Xiao Corporation is surrounded by enemies and it’s in a state of emergency, I don’t have time to let it drag on.”
“Are you really worried about the company, or are you anxious to go to the hospital to see Lan Qianyu?” The corners of Bai Lu’s mouth curled up into a sneer dripping with sarcasm. She grew up with him and knew him like the back of her hand. She could tell what he was thinking just from his expression or the look in his eyes.
“Are you going to tell me? If you’re not going to talk then forget it.” Xiao Qi had run out of patience and stood up to leave.
Bai Lu quickly pulled him back. “If you promise to stay with me for another day, I’ll tell you about it. I guarantee that this method will definitely be able to help you.”
Xiao Qi no longer backed down, “Tell me about it first.”
