There was no reprimand or anger in these four words of hers, but they were like knives stabbing into Song Mingjian's heart. Boss Song, she called him by his position, but that polite greeting showed the gap between them.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Xiangling ignored him. She turned her head to the pigeon and said, "Let's go back!"
The pigeon cast a look of disdain at Song Ming's sword. If it knew earlier, it wouldn't have hurt Song Ming's heart. What was it doing now?
Seeing them go upstairs, Song Mingjian quickly followed. Gu Xiangling bit his lips and didn't say a word. Song Ming stepped past her and stood in front of her. He said in a sincere tone, "Xiang Ling, please allow me to say it. I'm sorry."
"I can't afford it!" Gu Xiangling's cold voice came out from her lips without a trace of warmth. When it fell into Song Ming's ears, it made him feel a stabbing pain.
Song Ming could only give the white pigeon a meaningful glance, his eyes filled with a myriad of words. With just a glance, the pigeon was unable to say anything else. This man seemed to truly love Gu Xiangling.
As for Gu Xiangling, she did not seem to forget Song Mingjian. "Even so, she, an outsider, should not be a light bulb here." "Xiang Ling, talk to him properly. Don't act rashly, ah!" She warned Gu Xiangling before running upstairs.
Song Mingjian praised the white pigeon several times in his heart, and decided to order the finance department to give her a bonus later.
The staircase was naturally not a good place to talk. Song Mingjian invited him, "Can we go to the teahouse?" "Alright." Gu Xiangling nodded in response, causing Song Mingjian to immediately relax. She didn't refuse his invitation.
The classical and gentle attendant softly asked, "What do you two need?" Gu Xiangling opened her mouth to say something, then quickly shut it up. What tea did Song Mingjian like to drink? He could order by himself, so she didn't need to say anything.
Gu Xiangling no longer wanted to care for him. In the past, when he went to the teahouse with her, she would order the waiter to bring him the tea he liked, even solemnly indicating what cup she would use and how warm the tea would be.
"Give me a cup of green spring water and a cup of grapefruit tea." Song Mingjian casually mentioned a fruit flower tea that Gu Xiangling used to like to drink. Gu Xiangling said, "No, I want lotus seeds." Gu Xiangling said quietly, but there was still no expression on her face.
This soft knife had hit the nail straight on the head. Song Mingjian could feel his heart bleeding, and he could feel her coldly rejecting his concern for him. He forced a smile and said, "Are you hungry? What kind of snacks do you want to eat? "
"No need!" Gu Xiangling knocked on the table with her fingers. "Director Song is very busy. If you have something to say, quickly say it, don't waste your precious time."
Song Ming turned around. He was afraid that he would see Gu Xiangling's expression that was as cold as ice and frost. He was willing for her to make a ruckus to vent her anger, because he couldn't stand such cold violence. "Xiang Ling, how are you doing?"
"Very good," Gu Xiangling said quietly. "Thank you for injuring me and allowing me to learn to love myself." She picked up the teacup and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on its surface.
As the tea entered her mouth, Gu Xiangling frowned instinctively. It was a very bitter taste, but soon after, she tasted a hint of sweetness. Her heart was truly too sweet, even the lotus seed was able to taste the sweetness.
Ask lotus root, how much silk, lotus heart know for whom bitter?
Song Ming didn't let go of her expression and waved his hand for the waiter to bring a plate of candy. Just like before, he used a small spoon to scoop the candy into Gu Xiangling's cup. The lotus seed tea is very bitter, you can't drink it without sugar. "
Gu Xiangling gently pushed the teacup away and said dreamily, "So what if I add sugar? It is bitter in itself. Just like love, it is just like a layer of sugar on the surface of a poison. For the time being, the sweetness conceals its true taste, and only when it is in your mouth will you realize how bitter it is. "
The teacup in Song Mingjian's hand shook violently, and the scalding tea splashed onto his hand, instantly scalding his skin red. The pain caused him to take a deep breath, causing Gu Xiangling's heart to ache. She bit his lip and almost cried.
This man had emotionlessly chased her away just because of a misunderstanding. Right now, she actually couldn't control the pain in her heart.
