Mr Li continued, “Gu Zhengrong, it’s good for you to visit Xiaoyu. She’s feeling terrible right now. If you’re willing to visit her, she might recover faster.”
“Mr Li, I think she’ll be better off with you by her side.”
Mr Li was about to walk toward Gu Zhengrong, but he stopped in his tracks. Seeing how lonely Gu Zhengrong was, he felt uneasy again.
“Are you still unwilling to believe that our relationship is pure?”
“What kind of pure relationship do the two of you have? Mr Li, are you asking me to guess how I can treat Tang Xiaoyu and you peacefully?”
Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Mr Li who was standing opposite him and continued, “Mr Li, I still have a working relationship with you and I know about the competition with Tang Xiaoyu. It has nothing to do with you. It’s all my fault.”
“Since you know that, why aren’t you willing to seek her forgiveness?”
Mr Li stood there, seemingly in white mist. He looked like he was in the spring. However, his eyes looked like a ghost in the night as he stared at Gu Zhengrong.
“Mr Li, I think our partnership is coming to an end. I don’t know what you promised Xiaoyu, and I don’t know why she chose to be with you, but I know that I love her very much right now. As long as it’s something she wants, I’ll definitely help her achieve it. I was wrong to treat her like that in the past, but now, I know my mistake. Don’t worry, I’ll tell her properly that my heart belongs to her.”
Gu Zhengrong stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Leaning against the wall, his gaze became even more sorrowful.
“Mr Gu, are you so sure that there’s something going on between Xiaoyu and me?”
“What else? I’ve already seen it.”
Gu Zhengrong laughed lightly and continued in a self-deprecating manner, “I already saw that child in your Li family’s villa. I also saw how much she cared about you. Haha… I was like a fool. I thought I had a big place in her heart, but now, I realize that I’m nothing.”
“No, Mr. Gu. Sometimes, a person’s eyes can lie. If you don’t ask yourself, how would you know whether you are a god or a human in Tang Xiaoyu’s heart, whether you can be taken or discarded? You were once a conceited person, but now it seems that you are still the same.”
“Don’t tell me, Mr Li, you want me to ask her who is more important to her?”
Gu Zhengrong closed his eyes and looked at Mr Li who was not far away. His eyes were filled with sorrow.
“Mr Li, since this is how you feel, I’m afraid I can’t say anything else. Don’t worry; as long as Tang Xiaoyu is by my side, I’ll protect her well. I really have to thank you for today’s incident. If not for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know how that Duan Jiangjie would have bullied Xiaoyu.”
“I was just passing by today. Even if it was Tang Xiaoyu or any other woman, I would have saved her. It’s just that Duan Jiangjie offended Xiaoyu.”
Mr Li stood on the spot and looked at Gu Zhengrong. Without saying anything else, he turned around and walked toward his room.
This was Sister Qiu’s territory. Everyone’s room was arranged by Sister Qiu. Whether it was intentional or not, Tang Xiaoyu’s room was between Mr Li and Gu Zhengrong. The three of them formed a relationship where love could not be obtained.
“Mr Li, wait a moment. I want to ask you something.”
“Okay, ask away. As long as it’s something I know, you can ask.”
Mr Li stopped in his tracks. With his back facing Gu Zhengrong, he continued asking, “Mr. Gu, if you want to ask about Xiaoyu, I’d advise you to ask her yourself. After all, I don’t know much about the two of you. There are many things that the two of you have to face by yourselves.”
“Mr Li, I haven’t even asked you yet and you’ve already told me all the questions I can ask you. What’s the point of us doing this?”
Gu Zhengrong stood at the same spot and chuckled.
“Of course, Mr Gu. Other than business, the rest of our matters are related to Xiaoyu’s life. I’ve told you before, don’t think too badly of our relationship. Many things are not what you see before your eyes. You have to believe in your heart. One day, you will believe what you see and believe that it is not the same thing.”
“Mr Li, I think we’d better meet in the workplace. It seems too ungentlemanly for two people to be discussing this over a woman.”
With that, he opened the door handle and walked in. The dark room was like a huge container that quickly and agilely swallowed him.
“Xiaoyu, can we really not go back to the beginning? As long as you’re willing to come back, I’m willing to accept anything. Even if you and Mr Li have a child, I’m still unwilling to accept it. However, you’re far, far away from me now…”
In the huge VIP room, the curtains swayed gently with the wind. In this quiet space, only Gu Zhengrong’s soft sigh could be heard. Only the sound from his chest accompanied him in this darkness.
“If you’re willing to return to my side, I, Gu Zhengrong, am willing to give up everything. Nothing is more important than you in my heart. But Xiaoyu, you haven’t even turned around to look at me. You’ve never believed in my heart. I’m really different from the past…”
In the huge room, other than Gu Zhengrong’s soft sigh, there was the sound of his heart breaking into tiny pieces and falling to the ground. He could not see his true feelings from before, nor could he see his love for Tang Xiaoyu.
‘If you are willing, then you will see someone who is willing to treat you with a true heart. However, you have never seen it, and you will not know what kind of life I have lived after you left. You will also not know how sad and sad my life was after you left.’
Tang Xiaoyu did not know. That was because she had fallen asleep again when Mr Li walked past her.
