News of Mohai Skyride Advertising changing ownership had already been buzzing. On the night the event occurred, she had also gone to stand outside his house for a while. Unfortunately, she left without knocking.
Even now, she did not regret her decision and even felt fortunate to be able to view the issue more rationally.
After all, love is not everything in life. It was not before, and it certainly is not now.
"What would you like to eat? You decide," Long Shangxuan offered.
"No need, Brother Long. I do not feel like eating anything. There are so things, so words, that I know must be made clear. And I... I have actually been waiting for you to co clean with . But unfortunately, I have waited a long ti without getting the result I wanted. So today..." Hua Xiaomo said, looking at him, her voice soft and deliberate.
A pair of amber eyes glinted with a crystalline, moist luster. Looking at him, she wondered if she should give him another chance.
But such a chance was like gambling. If she lost again, she would lose even more.
Was he... really still worth her sacrificing more for him?
Hua Xiaomo smiled bitterly to herself. For a while, her gaze went blank, and she did not continue speaking.
"I’m sorry," Long Shangxuan said, looking quite embarrassed. "I know I have hurt you and deceived you. Xiao Mo, I should have told you earlier that the villa you used to live in belonged to Director Mo, not so friend who went abroad."
"But I just did not want you to worry. Xiao Mo, can you forgive ?" Long Shangxuan asked, looking at her, his eyes filled with an unbearable, scorching light.
"Mo Rutian’s house. Heh! You should have told sooner. Otherwise, I would not have moved in. And you would not be in your current predicant, would you?" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at him, a hint of pain also in her eyes.
It was for herself, and for him too—for their love, as fragile as a bubble, so, so easily shattered.
Once broken, it was utterly shattered. Even the faintest mory had beco a ridiculous and ironic tableau.
"..." Hua Xiaomo’s words left Long Shangxuan speechless.
He looked at her. "Xiao Mo, you should scold , but I... I really had no choice. You know, Director Mo likes you, he wants you, so he instructed to..."
"He instructed you? And you agreed?" Hua Xiaomo retorted, as if she had heard the most ludicrous joke.
Perhaps in the next second, he would claim he could not help himself!
And just as she expected...
"Xiao Mo, I work under him. I could not help myself!" Long Shangxuan said. Looking at her, his phoenix eyes revealed even more dark glints.
"Forget it. Do not say any more. I do not want to hear it," Hua Xiaomo said, her voice softening.
She had thought she would be furious, but in reality, she was not. She could still endure this feeling of being deceived by him.
So, losing him was not fatal to her; she was rely still sowhat disappointed.
"Xiao Mo, could you talk to Director Mo for ? If you are willing to speak up, he definitely will not be so angry," Long Shangxuan pleaded.
Hua Xiaomo looked at him, her brows furrowing slightly. "He is blaming you because of , right? In that case, I think you really do not need to stay with him."
"Actually, you are talented and could definitely go independent," Hua Xiaomo said. She had already taken out two Gold Cards from her bag and handed them to him. "Here are two cards, each with one million, totaling two million. Consider this part of the repaynt for the money I owe you. There is still three million left; I will pay you back slowly."
Long Shangxuan stared at the two cards for a while before finally saying with a faint smile, "Xiao Mo, actually... that five million..."
He paused, remaining silent for a long mont.
Seeing his unusual expression, Hua Xiaomo suddenly thought of sothing and frowned. "Brother Long, do not tell this five million is not your own, but Mo Rutian’s?"
She truly could not accept this, no matter the reason. Because the very last person she ever wanted to ask for help was Mo Rutian!
Yet he still disappointed her. "Yes. I borrowed it from him. There was no other way at the ti. You were so desperately in need of money."
Hearing this, Hua Xiaomo bit her lip tightly. "Do not say another word! Just because I was in urgent need of money, you could just go and ask *that person* so casually? Or are you saying you were scheming and setting a trap from the very beginning? Brother Long, you have truly disappointed !"
"Xiao Mo! I did it all for your own good!" Long Shangxuan exclaid, looking embarrassed.
"For my good? For my good, you hand over to soone else, deliver straight into another’s arms? Is *that* what you call for my good? Fine! Even if you do not like , even if you have no feelings for , that is okay. But—but, Long Shangxuan, what right do you have to treat this way? I am not your property, nor am I a stepping stone for your ambition! Do you understand?"
Hua Xiaomo suddenly beca agitated, speaking with a surge of indignation. She had not expected the truth, once revealed, to have been buried so deep.
「At that mont...」
Two other people had already walked into ’Paris Rainy Night.’
Qi Longbing, impeccably dressed in a purple suit, spotted the pair seated in a dim corner, his eyes narrowing unconsciously.
"Ah Bing, let us go eat in a private room on the second floor," Pan Yutong said, quickly using her graceful figure to block his line of sight, preventing him from seeing the couple.
However, Qi Longbing quickly brushed past her and walked straight towards the dining couple.
"Ah Bing!" Pan Yutong exclaid, watching him. Without a second thought, she quickly followed.
"Enjoying your al, you two?" Qi Longbing remarked with a grin, his eyes scanning Long Shangxuan’s face before lingering on Hua Xiaomo’s.
It had been a while since he had last seen her. Seeing her again now, she was still as beautiful as ever. Her black attire made her skin appear even more fair and smooth.
Those dazzling eyes of hers still shone brightly. Yet, she rely glanced up at him before turning her face away.
She did not even seem particularly surprised by his coincidental appearance here.
For a mont, Hua Xiaomo said nothing, and Long Shangxuan offered no reply.
Watching the imposing President Qi, Long Shangxuan seethed inwardly, grinding his teeth in hatred.
If he had not been so careless, how could he have allowed Qi Longbing to record him? And how then could Mo Rutian have found out, getting so furious that he fired him?
So, the main culprit behind all of this was none other than Qi Longbing!
"Ah Bing! Co on, let us go sit over there," Pan Yutong said with a smile as she approached, once again taking Qi Longbing’s arm.
But this ti, Qi Longbing, in a departure from his usual indifference towards her, suddenly curved an arm around her and pulled her into his embrace.
