Mimi was confused by her fawning enthusiasm and friendly smile. The woman who used to be sharp-tongued was now constantly lowering herself to please her. Was she dreaming?
“You, you you you—” Mimi stammered, suspecting Wenli had taken the wrong medicine, “I told you I’m not Ouyang Mimi anymore. Please stop calling me Miss Ouyang.”
“I can confidently say 100% that you are Ouyang Mimi.”
“Why?”
“The reason is simple. You admitted it yourself!”
“Did I? ” “I just asked if you were Ouyang, and before I even finished saying the name, you already admitted it.” “This…” Mimi knew she couldn’t hide anymore, hanging her head in shame, “Why are you still so kind to me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll dirty the brand-name clothes in your store? Aren’t you afraid I’ll interfere with your business?” “Not at all!” Wenli shouted emotionally, “I’m touched that you personally came to visit my store! Quick! Look at my eyes—” Mimi leaned forward curiously, frowning and carefully observing Wenli’s eyes, “What’s wrong with your eyes?” “Are they red? Are they? Ah… such moving, glistening tears! They’re about to roll out of my eye sockets! Can you see them?” Wenli dramatically widened her eyes larger than a cow bell. “There really is water!” Mimi noticed. Mimi discovered that a tear was indeed hanging in Wenli’s eye socket, rolling but never quite falling – she was truly impressive. But, so what? “Uh… what does having water in your eyes matter?” Mimi stared blankly at her. “Oh! It means I’m about to cry my heart out!” “Why are you about to cry?” Mimi didn’t understand. Why cry for no reason? She, Ouyang Mimi, had a hundred reasons to be sad, but did Wenli? “Didn’t I just tell you! Because of you!”
You are the boss’s wife! How can I not be touched that the boss’s wife can spare time to come to the store! Wenli continued to gesture exaggeratedly. “I’m the boss’s wife?” Mimi almost fell to the ground upon hearing this. She looked around in shock, thinking how could such a prestigious clothing store possibly be hers? “How could this be? You must be mistaken! I’m not—” Wenli cleared her throat and lowered her voice mysteriously, saying: “You don’t know that your man is a super-rich tycoon, do you?” “My man? Gu Feiyang?” Mimi thought, besides Gu Feiyang, who else had ever been her man? But why would Wenli know about their relationship? “Yes! His name is Gu Feiyang! He’s the man you bumped into when I pushed you out the door—” Wenli nodded vigorously and continued: “Miss Ouyang, let me tell you secretly, that day your man stormed into my store, took out his business card and placed it on the counter, along with a check for 20 million. That business card really scared me! The CEO of Gu’s Multinational Group—Gu Feiyang! Who doesn’t know about such a big shot! So, I was almost scared pale on the spot! He even forced me to sell the store! He was determined to take my store and give it to you… Miss Ouyang, you didn’t know, did you? He looked so cool and handsome at the time, but honestly, he was quite scary! I didn’t dare not sell! He even forced me to stay and work for you!
He probably hopes to give you a chance to take revenge on me, right? Miss Ouyang! You wouldn’t treat me like this, would you? Woo—I don’t think you would, just by looking at your face, I can tell you’re a kind-hearted person—Miss Ouyang, let me tell you one more thing. This secret was accidentally overheard by me that day. The CEO Ancient ordered his lawyer to find out your bank account through connections and transferred 200 million to your account, allowing you to use this money flexibly as working capital for the store…” Mimi listened, increasingly shocked, feeling a hot air rising from her feet, gradually burning through her entire heart.
Mimi bent down to open her suitcase, anxiously searching for the business card given by the man she bumped into that day… European Ancient Group International CEO Gu Feiyang. Seeing the golden text on the business card, Mimi suddenly couldn’t say a word, falling to the ground.
Her eye sockets quickly filled with hot tears, her heart overwhelmed with indescribable emotion and heartache. Mimi could hardly believe that Gu Feiyang would care for her and love her so much. And she, unexpectedly, was ungrateful, fleeing in panic because she was afraid of being scolded for making a mistake!
Although he initially became jealous and drove her away in anger, she believed that as long as she stayed and explained the misunderstanding, Gu Feiyang would definitely forgive her. Oh! She was so stupid! She knew that only by being with Gu Feiyang could she find happiness. Could find joy.
How much she wished to be by his side forever, in this life and the next! How much she wanted to grow old with him, to stay together for a lifetime! Oh, heavens! She truly hated that she couldn’t fly! She desperately wished she could sprout wings, wanting to immediately fly into Gu Feiyang’s embrace, passionately kiss his sharp-tongued mouth, and kiss away the anger and hatred in his heart. She would go back to him! She would go back to him right now! No matter whether he would forgive her or not, no matter how much he might yell at her, she would never leave him! Because she was determined to be with him!
After sleeping for over three hours, Gu Feiyang awoke. The person beside him was already gone. On the cold, icy pillow lay a letter. Looking at the letter, an ominous feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and he felt his heart dropping into a freezing, bone-chilling lake. He trembled as he opened the letter, and the elegant, neat beautiful handwriting danced before his eyes—
Master: Although I don’t want to leave you at all, whenever I think of your terrifying anger, I’m so scared that I want to flee. Since you won’t listen to my explanation, I’m left with no choice but to write it down.
I truly regret that farewell kiss I gave Long Er. I was originally determined to refuse, but Long Er cried because he was about to leave us forever, because of your disgust towards him, and because of my rejection. So he decided to go resign from his job.
He asked me: “Will we still be ‘siblings’ in the future?” I answered that it was impossible. He said: “If we happen to meet on the road in the future, I hope you won’t run away immediately.”
“At the time, I was uncertain, but now I can write the answer with certainty: I would definitely run away. I really. Really love you, to an immeasurable extent. I am not what you think – not fickle, not two-timing. I won’t leave, I want no one but you, I don’t want to lose you. Master, I have thought it through carefully. To avoid being scolded when you wake up, I decided to wander alone, waiting for the day your anger subsides, and I will naturally return to beg for reconciliation. During the days away from you, I only hope you can quickly calm your anger, and I will reflect on myself, absolutely preventing the same thing from happening again.
Mimi’s pen. Gu Feiyang’s heartbroken hand tightly gripped the letter. Closing his black eyes, he let the pain pierce his heart. “Mimi, you fool, I never truly wanted to drive you away. Why couldn’t you be thick-skinned and persist a little longer for me? You fool…” The little woman who occupied his heart had actually fled without hesitation… That fool! Just afraid of being scolded! If she had just shamelessly stayed, he could have found a way down gracefully, and he swore he would forgive her. Oh… damn! He regretted it so much! Why did he drive her away? Why did he insist she take the initiative to stay before he would feel satisfied?
Gu Feiyang buried his face in his palms, experiencing the heart-wrenching pain alone. No! No!”
