After Chu Feng left, Zhang Li surprisingly took over his shift.
She, who had been quite despondent the past few days, wore a brightly colored dress today and had her long hair done in big curls, clearly looking in good spirits.
It seemed she knew that Long Fei was coming and wasn’t surprised, as she took a resignation letter out of the drawer and said to Long Fei, "Little Ya wants to resign, but I didn’t approve it. I just told her to take a couple of days off."
Long Fei nodded and turned to leave.
Zhang Li called out to him, "As Wang Xiaoya’s best friend, I actually really hope that you two can be together. But with Director Lin around, I hope you think it over carefully. Maybe letting go would be good for both you and Little Ya!"
Without saying anything, Long Fei pulled the door shut and left.
Zhang Li shook her head as she watched him go and then looked at herself in the mirror, saying, "That silly Little Ya, she’s always luckier than me."
Just now, Wang Xiaoya had run over and cried her eyes out to her.
When Zhang Li asked her why she was resigning, Wang Xiaoya repeated Lin Yingying’s demands, which even scared Zhang Li.
Ten million, an amount a regular person couldn’t earn in two lifetimes.
Given such an opportunity, she would choose to accept it.
On the taxi, Long Fei was worried that Wang Xiaoya would do something foolish, so he called her a dozen times on the way.
At first she didn’t answer, and then she just turned her phone off.
When he arrived under Wang Xiaoya’s building, he first shouted up to her window, "Little Ya, are you home?"
There was no response from inside, so he simply climbed the stairs and closed his eyes to use his Essential Qi to scan the inside of the apartment.
Wang Xiaoya was sitting on the couch, hugging her legs and crying like a fountain.
After confirming she was home, Long Fei felt a sense of relief and knocked on the door, "Little Ya, open the door. Let’s sit down and talk properly!"
Inside, Wang Xiaoya kept crying without a word.
Long Fei, with a headache, rubbed his head and simply grabbed the doorknob, then with a surge of Essential Qi, he gave a strong Zhen.
With a bang, the spring lock inside was jolted open by the Essential Qi.
The door opened easily, startling Wang Xiaoya.
Long Fei walked in and joked, "Why didn’t you lock the door properly? What if a bad guy got in?"
Wang Xiaoya said, her eyes red, "I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me. I just want to be alone for a while!"
Long Fei sat opposite her and said persistently, "Keep wanting then. You can pretend I’m ’alone’."
Wang Xiaoya, speechless, pursed her lips but a smile surfaced on her face.
All her frustration vanished at the sight of him.
But the moment she thought of Lin Yingying’s words, her little fantasy shattered again.
She couldn’t give Long Fei anything, she would only be a burden by his side.
With a heavy heart, she looked at Long Fei seriously, "I’ve thought it through, let’s break up!"
As soon as she said those words, she started to cry first.
Long Fei was taken aback, looked at her and frowned, "Wang Xiaoya, didn’t we agree at lunch? No matter what, we wouldn’t give up on each other. Why are you backing down now?"
Wang Xiaoya said with her head down, "I’m not good enough for you. You’ll become more successful with Director Lin."
Long Fei laughed at her words, "How do you know I like that kind of success? If I don’t have you, even if I’m successful, what would it mean?"
Wang Xiaoya’s mind was a mess. With her inherently submissive nature, she tended to go along with whatever others said, changing her mind constantly.
She said to Long Fei, "You still don’t understand my family situation. My parents favor my brother over me and always side with him. My family and I will only hold you back in the future."
Long Fei held her hand earnestly, "I’m not afraid. As long as you don’t back down, none of these are issues. Even without the Lin’s Group shares, I have a hundred ways to make money. I won’t let you starve, nor your family. Believe in me, we’ll definitely have a good life."
Her heart softened, and Wang Xiaoya hugged Long Fei, crying.
Just now, she had made up her mind to break up with Long Fei.
That feeling was like a fate worse than death, as painful as a knife stabbing in her heart.
She didn’t dare to try it again. She would rather be killed than talk about breaking up ever again.
After the two had calmed their emotions, Wang Xiaoya looked at Long Fei and asked in a sullen voice, "What’s up with that one time you and Director Lin...?"
Long Fei raised an eyebrow and responded, "Lin Yingying told you about that?"
Wang Xiaoya pouted, "Yeah, you big bad guy, hiding such a big secret from me."
Long Fei cleared his throat and confessed, "Yes, when I first came to this city. Due to some coincidences, I did have a relationship with her."
He then recounted the whole incident to Wang Xiaoya from beginning to end.
Wang Xiaoya listened in astonishment, never imagining that the world could be filled with such coincidences.
She frowned and said, "So, you’re saying that Director Lin really gave you her first time?"
Long Fei rubbed his head and replied, "Wasn’t it all accidental?"
Wang Xiaoya said, "Accidental or not, the first time is very important to a girl. I actually understand her now, why she is so determined to snatch you away."
Long Fei tapped her head and chided, "How can you take the enemy’s side? We just agreed not to back down, no matter what."
Wang Xiaoya affirmed with conviction, "I know!"
"So, are you still going to resign?" Long Fei asked.
Wang Xiaoya replied, "Resign, of course I’m resigning. I’ll always be beneath her if I work at her company."
Long Fei, patting her head and smiling, said, "That’s the spirit. I support you. There are plenty of job opportunities in this city; we don’t need Lin’s Group."
Wang Xiaoya asked him, "Do you think it would be troublesome if I go to sell clothes at Leilei’s place?"
Long Fei smirked and said, "Why would you think that?"
Wang Xiaoya replied, "I’m afraid I won’t do well!"
Long Fei playfully nudged her nose and reassured, "Don’t worry, I have confidence in you. If you can manage a department, why can’t you sell clothes?"
Convinced by him, Wang Xiaoya made up her mind to sell clothes at Leilei’s place.
After her emotions had eased, she intended to send Long Fei away.
Staying with him late at night, what was she thinking?
She was about to push him out when the scoundrel suddenly swept her into his arms and into the bedroom. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
