BXBX NOVEL Chapter 158 - 163: You are my woman! (2)
Inside the cafe.
Tang Rongling ordered two cups of coffee, then lifted his head to ask Gu Qingxin, “What would you like to eat?”
“No need, I’m just going to say a few words and then leave.”
Tang Rongling looked at the girl sitting across from him, her face completely devoid of expression, a vague annoyance flared up inside him. He handed the menu back to the waiter.
“Do you think everything that’s happened between us is completely my fault? Don’t you think you bear any responsibility at all?”
Gu Qingxin was taken aback by his sudden words. She stared blankly at the man sitting across from her and burst out laughing, “What’s the point of saying all this now? Even if we argue about who’s right or wrong, it won’t change anything.”
“Is that so? Is everything related to me meaningless in your eyes now!”
Upon hearing Gu Qingxin’s cold renouncement that everything was meaningless, remembering how her attitude towards him had always been icy cold, a surge of anger arose in Tang Rongling’s chest.
Without any hesitation, Gu Qingxin nodded, “Yes!”
“You!” A sense of indignation filled Tang Rongling as he glared at Gu Qingxin. From his perspective, Gu Qingxin had committed an unspeakable and unforgivable act. And yet, he conveniently forgot that he was the first one to betray her.
Serving the coffee quickly, Gu Qingxin didn’t want to waste time, and immediately said, “Uncle Bai and Auntie Bai are both in the hospital, and the Bai and Gu companies have ongoing business together. You’re the vice president of the company, I want to ask you to help the Bai Family.”
“If it’s not about the Bai Family, you won’t have met with me in the first place, would you?!” Tang Rongling stared at her, his hand tightly clenched into a fist.
Gu Qingxin was truly confused. Wasn’t he the one trying to avoid her all the time, out of fear that she would ruin his relationship with Gu YunCi?
“Answer me!”
“Yes!” Gu Qingxin’s response was as decisive as ever.
“Gu Qingxin, what am I to you? Just a piece of trash that can be thrown away at will! Is your so-called love this cheap?”
Tang Rongling’s accusations left Gu Qingxin baffled, she stood up, “If you’re not willing to help the Bai Family, then there’s no need for further discussion.” “You are not leaving until we’ve sorted things out! If you hadn’t left me behind to escape all by myself when I was injured five years ago, I wouldn’t have fallen for Xiao Ci!” Tang Rongling grabbed Gu Qingxin and seated her back down forcefully.
Gu Qingxin stumbled back, aggravating the just-healed whip wound on her back. The immense pain made her face turn white in an instant. She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, “1 left you behind?”
“Ah Ling, Xiao Ci, what a coincidence!” Gu YunCi came up from the stairs, behind her were two girls of her age.
Noticing Gu YunCi’s unexpected appearance, Tang Rongling frowned and stood up, “Why are you here?”
“I arranged to meet my friends here for some coffee, Ah Ling. Why are you with Xiao Ci?” Gu YunCi feigned sadness, making Tang Rongling feel guilty.
“I… I was discussing business relating to the Bai family with her.”
Considering Gu YunCi was carrying his child, Tang Rongling couldn’t bear the sight of her being upset. He began to regret his actions from before.
“I see… All Ling, I left my bag in the car, could you get it for me please?” Gu YunCi clung onto his arm coquettishly.
“I’ll get it for you, you sit first.” Tang Rongling took the car keys. Giving the dazed girl sitting across from him one last look, he went downstairs.
As soon as Tang Rongling left, Gu YunCi’s face changed completely. Her companions sat at a table nearby, while Gu YunCi took the seat across from Gu Qingxin, a strange smile spreading across her face….
