"Is that so?" Qiao Mianmian's face was still tense. "Then, you see that I'm fine now. Mr. Gong, since you're here to talk to someone, you must be very busy. My companions are still waiting for me, so let's not waste each other's time.
"I'll be going first. Bye."
Although Gong Zeli seemed reasonable.
But Qiao Mianmian no longer trusted him.
Ever since she realized that he might have feelings for her, Qiao Mianmian didn't want to interact with him anymore.
She wanted to avoid him the moment she saw him.
With that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Qiao Mianmian." Behind her, Gong Zeli's expression darkened. "Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong to make you avoid me the moment you see me?
"I admit that I was wrong in the past and misunderstood you, but I already changed. Do you still treat me like an enemy? Can't we be friends?"
Qiao Mianmian stopped in her tracks.
"You weren't like this before. Why are you suddenly so cold and distant to me? If I did something wrong and made you unhappy, you can tell me."
"Alright." Qiao Mianmian didn't want to be too direct. She turned around and thought for a while before saying calmly, "Do you want to know why? Alright, I'll tell you. Gong Zeli, actually, you didn't make me angry. I'm not angry at you because of what happened in the past. It's just that I don't think we can be friends anymore."
"Why?" Gong Zeli's expression stiffened.
"Because many of your actions have indeed troubled me and my husband. I don't want Mo Yesi to see any scandals between you and me anymore, so I think it's better for us to be like before.
"Also, I don't want to have any coincidences with you in the future. I think it shouldn't be difficult to do this, don't you think?"
With that, Qiao Mianmian turned around and left.
Behind her, Gong Zeli's eyes were dark.
At this moment, the person who was upstairs with him came down. Seeing his expression, she was shocked and asked cautiously, "Young Master Gong, Chairman Wu and the rest asked when you're coming back."
Gong Zeli looked in the direction Qiao Mianmian left. He was like a statue, motionless and silent.
The person beside him hesitated for a while before calling out again, "Young Master Gong…"
"Scram!"
When Gong Zeli turned around, his expression was so dark that it was scary. His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat someone. The people around him were so scared that they didn't dare to say another word and immediately turned to leave.
…
When Qiao Mianmian returned, Zhan Bo asked her, "Qiao Mianmian, didn't you say that the store wasn't too far away? Why did you take so long?"
"I also bought some other things." Qiao Mianmian didn't tell him about her meeting with Gong Zeli.
"Ha, so many of us are waiting for you, and you're still strolling around," Song Ke said unhappily. "Aren't you wasting our time?"
Qiao Mianmian looked at her and then handed Qiao Anxin the bag.
Qiao Anxin took it and opened it. Her expression turned a little unhappy.
