Unfortunately, they did not end up together, nor did they fall in love with each other.
Tang Xiaoyu smiled. Her smile was like a red rose blooming in the cold winter. It was so cold but one could not bear to look away. Just as Gu Zhengrong thought that he was going to leave this place, Tang Xiaoyu shouted, “Gu Zhengrong, don’t look for me anymore. I don’t want to meet you in private anymore. You have to understand that you are nothing to me now. Do you think that you are very powerful or that my heart for you is very strong?”
Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were filled with tears but they remained in his eyes. He did not reveal any emotions and merely stared at her.
“Xiaoyu, if you think that you’re so good with Mr Li, I won’t disturb you. However, I won’t let you suffer. You have to know that I still love you. I’m still willing to stand here and wait for you to turn back.”
Gu Zhengrong turned around and the tears in his eyes finally fell. He opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat. He closed the door and started the car, leaving Tang Xiaoyu’s sight. His resolute look stunned her for a moment.
Gu Zhengrong resolutely left Tang Xiaoyu’s side once more.
“Why are you always like this? You don’t even want to wait for me. Have you really never loved me?”
Tang Xiaoyu forgot that she was the one who gave Gu Zhengrong the heartlessness first. She was the one who let him leave first, and she was also the one who made him want to be by her side first.
When Tang Xiaoyu returned to her room and entered it, Mr Li stood at the door and softly said, “He still came.”
“Yeah.”
Tang Xiaoyu lowered her head and let out a m.u.f.fled groan.
“Xiaoyu, you…”
“Mr Li, I want to go and rest. I’m a little tired. If there’s anything, let’s talk about it another day. I’ll work on the proposal properly. I’ll also take a good look at the loopholes in the proposal.”
“It’s what Gu Zhengrong said just now, right?”
“Yes, although I don’t want to see him, I still have to admit that what he said is very useful. That’s why I’m now…”
“Gu Zhengrong’s proposals are the best. He can be said to be a legendary figure in the business world. Not only are his proposals good, but his company contracts are also very good. This brat is actually quite capable if he doesn’t have any relations.h.i.+p issues. I really admire his business ability. Xiaoyu, you can modify it according to what he said. In a few days, you guys will have to go to court.”
“I understand.”
Tang Xiaoyu walked up the stairs and continued, “Mr Li, thank you. If not for you…”
“Look at you, you’re saying this again. Is there a need for such formalities between us? Duo Duo is already asleep in the room. Auntie has also taken good care of her. You don’t have to worry about anything. If it’s money, I can give it to you. As long as you’re willing to do it boldly, it’s fine. I’ll give you everything I have. I’ll support you.”
Mr Li smiled and was about to return to his room when Tang Xiaoyu stopped him.
“Xiaoyu, there’s a jewelry conference in France. Why don’t you go?”
“Okay. When do we leave?”
Tang Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him with gentleness in her eyes.
“I’m saying that the French Jewelry Conference is mainly focused on our company’s most recent mainstream products, so Xiaoyu, you have to go out and take a look. You can absorb some of their essence and bring our company new opportunities to create better products.”
Mr Li’s motive was very clear. After saying that, he walked back to his room. As he pa.s.sed by Tang Xiaoyu, he lightly coughed and continued, “Xiaoyu, you have to take good care of your body. Women don’t have to have their careers reach the peak. There are still many things that you need to learn, so you have to work hard to learn things that I’ve never taught you before.”
Tang Xiaoyu paused and watched as Mr Li slowly disappeared from her sight. Only then did she return to her room.
Once the door handle was closed, Tang Xiaoyu’s slowly slid down the door with her back. However, her heart was already cold to the point of despair. No one could enter or leave. In such a small place, Tang Xiaoyu felt as though she had entered the darkest time in the world.
“We can’t go back anymore. You won’t understand how I can’t wait for you to disappear from my sight. You won’t know that Duo Duo is actually your daughter, and neither will you know that my purpose in coming back is to defeat you, and that is…”
Tang Xiaoyu was crying so hard that she could not make a sound. Her mind was filled with the times she and Gu Zhengrong had spent together.
One did not want to get close, and the other wanted to get close. One wanted to escape, and the other wanted to pursue. How could there be so much love and surprise? However, these were the days when she was in love with him, yet he was running away from her. That was all.
On the second morning, everything was at its best. Everything was what he wanted to see the most.
With novelty and goodness.
It was just that Tang Xiaoyu did not expect Gu Zhengrong to rush to the Li family’s villa early in the morning. Looking at Gu Zhengrong leaning against the car, Tang Xiaoyu had a strange feeling in her heart. Perhaps, this man had given her too many regrets and emotions. Tang Xiaoyu walked up to Gu Zhengrong and said mockingly, “Why? Are you here to block me this time? Don’t think that I can lose to you just because you did this.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s att.i.tude was rude, but Gu Zhengrong’s eyes became docile and obedient.
“I came to look for you because I wanted to take you to work together. Although we are compet.i.tors now, I don’t think we need to do this. I won’t read your proposal and I won’t tell you my proposal. So you don’t have to be scared. You really don’t have to be scared. At least, I will still…”
“Gu Zhengrong, you’re so funny. Do you think you can get me back just like that?”
Tang Xiaoyu lightly harrumphed as she looked at Gu Zhengrong mockingly. He seemed to be taller in her gaze.
“Xiaoyu, can we talk properly for once? Just like how we were back then.”
