The hushed breaths of two people echoed loudly in the vast office. Yu Xixi continued to steal glances at Gu Xiuyu, and her subtle feelings were still palpable to him.
Her heart was already full, and his presence only made him feel troubled.
"Xixi."
"Mm, I'm here."
Gu Xiuyu looked up at the pure and charming Yu Xixi, her eyes sparkling, "Let's talk."
As soon as the cold words were spoken, Yu Xixi's bounding heart came to an abrupt halt. She had already guessed the content.
"Xiuyu Ge, my dad invited you to our house for dinner tonight." Yu Xixi suddenly stood up from her chair, impulsively extending the invitation. xxs One Two
She despised her own actions at the moment, but if she didn't speak, she would have no chance at all.
Gu Xiuyu swallowed the words that were already on his lips. He looked at Yu Xixi's nervous yet expectant face and still managed to utter what he had to say, "I already like someone."
Thud!
Yu Xixi's heart was pierced. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, then after a moment of thought, she raised her head with a bitter smile and said, "Is it Ziyu Jie?"
Gu Xiuyu remained silent.
"If I were a man, I would also fall for Ziyu Jie. After all, she's a good person and exceptionally beautiful." Yu Xixi looked at Gu Xiuyu, paused for a moment, and then continued with heightened emotion, "Even though you like Ziyu Jie very much, there's no chance between you two. And I believe I will make you fall for me."
Although Yu Xixi was not as beautiful as Ye Ziyu, she could still be considered a little beauty. In love, nothing is set in stone; if she persevered, she might change his mind.
Seeing his lack of reaction, Yu Xixi bent down and sat back down. "If you're busy tonight, I'll tell my dad. We'll have a chance to eat together in the future; this one time isn't that important."
The Yu Xixi before him was like a blazing fire, her warmth constantly drifting towards Gu Xiuyu.
Impossible to be together?
On what grounds did she think so!
Gu Xiuyu glared at her with dark eyes, turned, and slammed the door shut as he left.
With a bang, the pen Yu Xixi was holding scratched upwards, leaving a mark on the paper. She looked back at the still-shaking door and forced a bitter smile.
She had fallen for him at first sight, and it was the first time she had ever actively liked someone. Yet, her love was cheap in his eyes, and her affection had become a burden to him.
Unknowingly, hot tears welled up in her eyes. They slid down onto the writing, blurring the ink on the paper. She took out her phone and sent a text message to Ye Ziyu.
...
"Let's go back," Ye Ziyu said to Di Mingjue, holding her phone.
The car stopped by the roadside, and both Di Mingjue and Qianqian in the back seat asked curiously, "Why?"
"Xixi said she's not feeling well and can't teach Qianqian to dance." Ye Ziyu stared at the few short words on the screen, finding them somewhat strange.
"We should find a professional dance teacher for Qianqian," Di Mingjue suggested.
Although Yu Xixi was very professional, she was currently Gu Xiuyu's assistant. Di Mingjue had ulterior motives and didn't want Gu Xiuyu to have any chance to approach Ye Ziyu.
Ye Ziyu replied to the message and agreed to Di Mingjue's suggestion, "Okay."
"I'll have Shen Lin look into famous dance teachers in Jiucheng right away." Di Mingjue, fearing that Ye Ziyu might change her mind, immediately took out his phone and called Shen Lin.
Qianqian left her seat and clung to the back of the passenger seat with her hands. "Mommy, I like Teacher Xixi; I don't want to change teachers."
Di Mingjue, hearing this, sensed a dangerous signal and immediately corrected her, "Qianqian, don't worry. Daddy will find you a better teacher than Teacher Xixi."
"But compared to other teachers, I like Teacher Xixi the most." Qianqian maintained her initial stance.
Di Mingjue hung up the phone, turned, and sternly pulled Qianqian from the back seat to the front.
