“Don’t you want to repay me? I’ve already made the request. Can you do it?”
Gong Zeli looked down, then slowly looked up again.
He smiled mockingly and asked, “Are you afraid that others will misunderstand, or are you afraid that Mo Yesi will?”
“Both.” Qiao Mianmian looked straight at him.
“You’re actually afraid that Mo Yesi will misunderstand.” Gong Zeli smiled. “Alright, I’ll agree to your request. When we meet again, I’ll pretend not to know you. I won’t let anyone misunderstand our relationship.”
“Really? Can you really do it?”
“Since I promised you, I’ll definitely do it.”
“That’s good.” Qiao Mianmian immediately distanced herself from him. “Remember what you promised me. Don’t look for me anymore. I have something on, I’ll get going first.
“Remember, don’t look for me anymore!”
Qiao Mianmian quickly walked past him. Before Gong Zeli could say anything, she had already left.
It was as if she was afraid that others would see them standing together and wanted to disappear from his side.
Gong Zeli smiled mockingly.
How much did she hate him?
How afraid she was of being associated with him?
Some things were wrong from the start.
Even if he wanted to make it up to her, it was too late.
If he missed it, he missed it.
When he realized this, Gong Zeli felt as if a piece of his heart was missing. Not only did it hurt, but it also felt empty.
He didn’t blame anyone but himself.
Gong Zeli stood there for a long time.
His mind was empty. He didn’t know what to do or where to go.
He seemed to have lost his way at a crossroad.
He was so lost.
Because something had been bothering him.
If he couldn’t solve it, he couldn’t leave. It was as if he was trapped in a huge maze.
A maze that he himself had set up. Besides himself, no one could bring him out.
“Should I really give up?” Gong Zeli looked in the direction Qiao Mianmian left, confused. He watched Qiao Mianmian’s figure disappear from the corner of the corridor and muttered to himself.
He had always felt indignant.
Because he’d known Qiao Mianmian before.
He kept wondering if he should fight for it.
But today, Qiao Mianmian’s attitude and words made Gong Zeli doubt his decision.
He wondered if there was any point in continuing.
So what if he refused to let go?
Would it change anything?
His persistence was just harassment in her eyes.
Besides making her despise him more and more, what else could he do?
“So, the person who saved you that night was Qiao Mianmian. No wonder your attitude towards her changed so much. No wonder you kept it a secret from me. You were afraid that I would do something bad to her.
“I guessed it might be her, but I didn’t expect to be right.”
Gong Zeli’s expression darkened.
Slowly turning around, he saw Shen Rou walking out from behind a pillar.
