“Qi Lei, you’re treating me differently! You’ve changed…completely!”

Gu Lingsha took a deep breath as she looked at Qi Lei’s clenched fist dripping with fresh blood.

“Qi Lei, I never thought of hurting you, really. I’ve always treated you as a good friend. I admit that I might have used you in the past, or wronged you for Ah Feng, but I’ve always protected you whether you believe me or not.”

“You wouldn’t have known how sad I felt when you talked about how we won’t be able to turn back time anymore. I never knew what happiness was. I thought that marrying Qi Feng, having a daughter, and taking my revenge…all of those could bring happiness…but now, the more I go on, the more afraid I feel…”

Gu Lingsha was speaking from her heart. Ever since she knew that Qi Feng received flowers from Xi Xiaye, she investigated the matter and found out that Qi Feng had been in contact with her. He seemed to have a different att.i.tude towards Xi Xiaye.

1Although she tried to ask Qi Feng about it, every time she brought this up, Qi Feng would not look pleased, and of course, she dared not ask too much after that.

She just hoped that he was only doing that because he had some sort of plan.

Doris’s words were still ringing in her eyes. She could not help but be worried.

She was afraid!

So afraid…

If that were true, then Gu Lingsha was merely Qi Feng’s stepping stone. After he was done, she would be kicked aside, and when the time came, what would Gu Lingsha do?

What could she do?

When Lingtian had still been around, she could turn to Lingtian or Qi Lei if there was anything, but now that things were the way they are, what else could she hope for?

Gu Lingsha did not understand. Why was it that the more she tried to hold onto some things, the more she lost her grip on them…

“Even if you need to fight for your own happiness, you shouldn’t build it upon other people’s pain. If you can never understand that, then you’ll never be able to enjoy it with a clear conscience. I won’t leave City Z. No matter who talks to me, I’ll only have the same answer.”

“Qi Lei!” Gu Lingsha softly called out

Qi Lei clenched his fists and could not care less about the sharp pain felt in his palms as he said with a lowered tone, “Go back while I can still hold my anger. Otherwise, you know that I wasn’t raised that well and I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t hit you.”

Gu Lingsha was stunned for a moment. Finally, she took a deep breath in and stooped weakly to peer down at Qi Lei.

“Qi Lei, no matter what happens, all these years, we’ve cried together, laughed together, been hurt together, and been happy together. Our relations.h.i.+p is lost to time and other people, but I still hope that we’ll all do well. If you decide to stay and abandon us, I won’t say anything more. Meanwhile, I can only…”

“Let’s just leave it to fate.” Qi Lei smiled coldly.

When Gu Lingsha heard his reply, her beautiful eyes could not help but feel hot. Finally, she looked up with a deep breath and then nodded. As she turned around, she said with a raspy voice, “Alright, we can only leave it at that then!”

When she finished, she had already opened the door and was about to rush out, yet she b.u.mped into someone standing at the door. She quickly stopped and subconsciously looked up to find Xi Xiaye standing at the door.

“Xi Xiaye!” Gu Lingsha practically cried out instantly!

Xi Xiaye nonchalantly lowered her gaze and looked at Gu Lingsha calmly. Obviously, she heard most of the conversation from earlier.

“Hope you’re doing well, Missus Qi.” Xi Xiaye’s unfriendly voice was heard while her calm gaze contained a chill as though it came from the moon in the night sky.

“Why are you here?” Gu Lingsha was obviously quite shocked to see Xi Xiaye who had suddenly appeared. She knew that she must have heard most of the conversation from earlier.

“Why can’t I be here? This is my turf, isn’t it?” Xi Xiaye smiled calmly. “You came all the way here to be this imposing? I really don’t know where you find the sense of superiority to do so.”

“It’s none of your business. Move aside—”

Gu Lingsha had only brought one bodyguard along. She saw that Xi Xiaye had blocked her way at the door and there were a few black-clothed men behind her who seemed tough, so she naturally dared not go overboard.

Xi Xiaye did not move and stood where she was while she looked indifferently at Gu Lingsha. Her cold gaze made Gu Lingsha feel uneasy.

“Miss Gu, I actually quite admire a certain quality of yours. Do you want to know what it is?” Xi Xiaye examined her and then said softly.

“What?” Gu Lingsha could not hold back her curiosity as she answered.

“You have a very great sense of ego. You have such a huge contrast of harshness and tolerance within you. You truly understand the meaning of cheris.h.i.+ng, and I can’t help but admire you.”

When Xi Xiaye said this, Gu Lingsha’s expression turned rigid. She recognized the sarcasm in Xi Xiaye’s words, so she only laughed coldly. “I don’t see how important you are. No matter what I do, at least, I still know the meaning of honor and a woman’s principles. Don’t think I don’t know about you sending flowers to Qi Feng, Xi Xiaye. Qi Feng’s not such a casual person. Don’t you know the meaning of saving your face?”

As Gu Lingsha remembered how Qi Feng had received those flowers, she could not hold back her anger anymore.

Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye’s mind flashed to when Mu Yuchen had sent Qi Feng a bouquet of white chrysanthemums with her name. She looked at Gu Lingsha who was clearly angered, pondered for a moment, then laughed. “Miss Gu, don’t misunderstand my relations.h.i.+p with Master Qi. Otherwise, other people might misunderstand as well. Since you’re so certain that your Master Qi’s an honest person, I’m sure I don’t need to say those things to you, do I?”

“Xi Xiaye, don’t be so smug now. You’ll suffer for this.”

Gu Lingsha barely caught her own breath, she said softly through gritted teeth by Xi Xiaye’s ear.

“It looks like you’re the one who’s about to cry. Miss Gu, you’re really not that important. Instead of worrying about other men here, you should worry about yourself first. I heard that tonight, right here in Imperial Sky Hotel, Master Qi and CEO Lin are having dinner together with the Lin family heiress who’s also a Caucasian. Most importantly, she’s very young and beautiful. Miss Gu, as Master Qi’s wife, you came over to accompany him, didn’t you?” Xi Xiaye mocked calmly while she looked forward to Gu Lingsha’s reaction.
