“…” Several times she was about to speak but stopped, this was the first time Xinluo saw an uneasy expression on Gao Yizhe’s face. “Yes, we have contact,” she finally answered truthfully. “So your relationship is not purely platonic,” he said frankly, and this answer did not surprise him; what he truly wanted to know was this point. “Not just senior and junior?” “General Manager Gao…” Xinluo frowned, his question was unabashedly direct, making her feel like she was being cornered. “Xinluo, I think you should understand my feelings, and I also know you have a boyfriend who has never appeared, who is often the cause of your unhappiness. I want to know if between you and Xia Erxi, it’s really that simple?” “…General Manager Gao, I’m sorry, I cannot answer your question.” Never did she imagine the usually gentle and refined Gao Yizhe would have such a forceful side: Xinluo was about to turn and leave. “Xinluo, don’t escape. Are you unable to answer, or afraid to answer?” He took a swift step to block her path, preventing her from leaving. “…” “Actually, Xia Erxi is your boyfriend, isn’t he?” Seeing she wouldn’t speak, he said it for her. “…” Her face instantly lost all color, Xinluo stubbornly turned away, silent. “I guessed right…” Her expression was the best proof. Gao Yizhe covered his mouth in frustration, “I knew it…” Their atmosphere at that moment was too unusual; he had already sensed it then. “Why Xia Erxi? He’s not suitable for you at all!”
Taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, Gao Yizhe looked at her deeply. “Over the years, there has never been a shortage of women around him. I believe you know this very well! Don’t be fooled by his sweet talk!”
“…I know, and I understand better than anyone.” Compared to his agitated state, she was much calmer, her face only slightly pale. From the day she confessed to Xia’er, she had been mentally prepared for what her future life would be like, because his brilliance was so intense, destined to be tempted by those around him – he could never love just one woman.
