Since that day when Li Xi was hurriedly taken away by Lingyuxiao, Lan Yetian lingered on the spot for a long time. It was not that he didn't have time to snatch Li Xi's hand, but after considering the fact that Li Xi was pregnant, he didn't want her to get sucked into the fierce pulling. Of course, another reason was because Lan Yetian was moved by Li Xi's decisive attitude. If not for the resolute words Li Xi spoke to him earlier, that familiar face of her which revealed the most unfamiliar of expressions, he would have charged forward without a care.
At the other end of the road, as Lingyuxiao's car sped past, Lan Yetian stared at the handsome body of the car, until he could no longer see anything else, before he slowly lowered his head and fell into deep thought. This time, he really felt a heavy sense of desolation. However, he wouldn't let go so easily! Six years of unbearable waiting had already passed, so what was a little defeat to him? The things he had promised, the promises he had made, must be fulfilled. Moreover, he still loved Li Xi the way he had six years ago. Wasn't that enough?
Although the weight of his feet was like lead that made it difficult for him to walk, the road was always long, and it wouldn't decrease just because you were half-tired.
A long time had passed. For Lan Yetian, it was hard to pass Li Xi's days without seeing him. It had clearly only been a few days, yet it seemed like a year had passed. He did not dare to rashly go and find Li Xi, but she had a nagging feeling that she would not stay there and wait for nothing.
During the time that Lan Yetian calmed down to think, he finally found something that he was willing to do, and it seemed to be quite meaningful. Therefore, when he finally dragged his lazy body out of bed, he had regained his spirited look.
In the recent days, Lan Yetian had been in a muddled state, but this did not mean that Li Xi was going to be affected because of this. If not for her sudden reaction to the stomachache that day, she would have told his everything that she wanted to say. I reckon Li Xi is also in closed-door training now, how can she possibly have such a good life as Lingyuxiao sitting by her bed with chicken soup in her hands and feeding it to me?
Lingyuxiao was a person who loved face a lot, so unless he truly felt that it was necessary to do so, making him lower his head and apologize in a soft voice would be useless even if he was forced to. Although Lingyuxiao had misunderstood him more in the matter of Li Xi meeting him secretly and his own mistakes made up a large part, if Li Xi had listened to what she said obediently and didn't have any contact with that damned Lan Yetian, he wouldn't have been so angry. The most exasperating thing was that he didn't know why this nameless fire was ignited.
Since he made a mistake, Lingyuxiao was not the type of person who would act shamelessly. Apologies, not necessarily just words from the mouth. Rather than saying "I'm sorry", Lingyuxiao was more willing to silently use his actions to tell Li Xi that he was in the midst of confessing.
Li Xi could obviously feel Lingyuxiao's "apology" he had received these past few days. Although she was a little disappointed with Lingyuxiao at the start, she still yelled at him just because she saw him, drove away without even considering that she was still a pregnant woman, and carried his child in her womb. Amongst them, the thing that pained Li Xi the most was that Lingyuxiao actually didn't ask about the ins and outs of the matter, and rushed to beat people up, always wanting to use force to solve the problem. This was something that she couldn't accept the most. Thus, she would accept Lingyuxiao's "apologies".
Everytime she saw Lingyuxiao, who was busy moving the cups back and forth while holding the ice water to drink, or the water being cold, Li Xi felt that the man in front of him was not too bad. At the very least, she was still very concerned about him. Even if she still wasn't sure if it was because he treated her like a big sister, or if it was because of this little girl in front of her that she was so gentle.
These few days, Lingyuxiao had been focusing 70% of his attention on Li Xi. Fortunately, the company did not have any major accidents recently, and everything was calm, causing Lingyuxiao to feel like he was just going to take a walk in the park.
This was also good. The two of them had free time and could get along well. If a relationship was not forged between the two of them, how could they understand each other's thoughts and habits if they were managed with their hearts and minds? Lingyuxiao thought. Actually, he had also discovered during this period of time that he was extremely concerned about Li Xi, as he had always wanted to do something for her. Her smile would always surface in his heart, and even if she was right in front of him, he still felt that it was not enough. He needed time to slowly learn how to love Li Xi, and also needed time to prove herself.
Li Xi was in a good mood and had a lot of interactions with Lingyuxiao. The awkward atmosphere between the two was also much better than before.
However, when the two were on good terms, there were also people who were grieving, hating, and coveting to separate the two.
Of course, Gu Wei hated Li Xi and Lingyuxiao, but she didn't want to separate them anymore. Right now, her situation was like a muddlehead crossing the river, unable to protect herself. That was because the trouble she was talking about had come knocking on her door right away.
If Lan Yetian wanted to find someone, he could only think of a way. Very quickly, he contacted Gu Wei. On the phone, he only said that he wanted to find Gu Wei to have a good chat with him, he didn't actually say what he wanted to talk about with Gu Wei, but Gu Wei felt that there was no need for her to meet Lan Yetian. Until Lan Yetian told him that he was not looking for her alone, but had something to discuss with Gu Wei regarding Li Xi. As long as Gu Wei heard the sensitive word "Li Xi," she would immediately get excited and tell Lan Yetian that there was no big deal with meeting him, but she had to choose a more secretive place. Right now, it was not appropriate for her to reveal herself too openly.
Gu Wei already hated Li Xi to the point of insanity, why would she be afraid that Lingyuxiao would treat her as his enemy? If she was afraid, she wouldn't have done so many other things to harm Li Xi. She did not want to reveal herself, but she knew that not only Lingyuxiao, even the Su Family would want to find her, and that Su Wan was also a hardworking little girl, she did not want to deal with him.
Lan Yetian felt that it was laughable. They had clearly reached the end of their road, yet they still had to put on that damned act and try to show off in front of him. Well, I hope I don't have to see that hateful and pathetic face again.
At four o'clock, Gu Wei arrived at the meeting place with Lan Yetian as promised.
Once he entered, Lan Yetian was already waiting there.
"Take a seat, Miss Gu." Lan Yetian's mouth curved into a smile, but it was not friendly.
"You said that you want to talk about Li Xi with me, what do you mean?" Gu Wei glanced at the tall and handsome man in front of her. Indeed, he had a face that could be described with the words "pleasing to the eye", and if it wasn't for the fact that her heart was filled with hatred towards Li Xi and Li Xi, she might have paid even more attention to him.
"Alright. Since you are going straight to the point, I won't say anything. I hope that you can leave this place, wherever you want to go, and that you won't stay in the country anymore. I don't want to see the guy who hurt the woman I love so much, do you understand? " Lan Yetian did not have a good impression of this beautiful but vicious woman in front of him. If not for Li Xi, he would not have wanted to meet her.
"Humph ~ ~ What a joke!" You want me to go now? I say, are you mistaken? Do you really think you have the capability to make me listen to you? If you say you can leave, why would I bully you? " The corner of Gu Wei's mouth raised into a scornful smile, she thought that he was looking for her for something or someone or something. She had thought that it would be beneficial to him, but who would have thought that it was actually meant for him to leave!
"Speak, what do you want?" As a businessman, Lan Yetian naturally understood the weakness of human nature. It was all about mutual benefit, he understood. If this Gu Wei didn't hurt Li Xi like that because she wanted to get something from him, why would she keep hurting him?
"Don't use your set against me! You think I'm a beggar? Trying to send me away with money, he thought I was being too simplistic. Let me tell you, if you want me to leave, that is, unless the woman called Li Xi immediately leaves Lingyuxiao's side. I'm afraid you think that's impossible as well. She's attached herself to Lingyuxiao, the financial backer, and isn't willing to let go. When Gu Wei thought of how Li Xi would be so obedient in front of Lingyuxiao, anger rose in her heart, let alone how she would leave because of Li Xi.
"Swallow all the bad things you said about Li Xi that came out of your filthy mouth into your stomach. Otherwise, I will definitely not go around you. Also, this is not a discussion, but a decision. You must leave here, go abroad, and promise never to return. Don't think that no one knows what you've done. At least, as long as I am willing, I can work with Lingyuxiao to get rid of you not long ago. " The moment Lan Yetian heard Gu Wei insult Li Xi, the anger in his heart bursted out. He had originally wanted to calmly explain this matter to her, but now he could no longer control himself.
"That has nothing to do with me. It was Su Wan who pushed her." Speaking of the things that happened the last time, Gu Wei became somewhat worried. She understood Lingyuxiao. If he wanted to do something decisive and her methods were cruel, she would automatically be able to do it in her mind. And now, she had to add on the addition of this menacing man in front of him. This was not worth it. Thinking about it again, she really didn't have anyone else to rely on here. If they were to fight, he would be the one at a disadvantage. As the saying goes, for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late. It might be a good thing for her to temporarily avoid going abroad. But she swore she would come back.
"Don't think that everyone doesn't know. It's all because of you. "Like I said, even if you don't leave today, you still have to." Lan Yetian had already prepared a flight ticket in front of Gu Wei, "I don't care where you want to go after today's flight to Toronto, just don't let me see you in the country again, and hang around in front of Li Xi."
"I didn't say I was going to Toronto! Besides, it's fine if you don't want me to appear in front of Li Xi again. You have to guarantee that I can stay abroad safely. Otherwise, even if you send me abroad, I will still think of a way to come back and take revenge on Li Xi. " Gu Wei was extremely dissatisfied with Lan Yetian's arrangements.
"Don't worry!" "I won't lose any of your benefits." To put it bluntly, she was asking him for money. As long as Gu Wei could get away from Li Xi's line of sight, money was not a problem at all. Before she could finish his words, Lan Yetian had already signed five million gold on his chequebook, tore it off and threw it in front of Gu Wei, "Please obey your words and never appear in front of Li Xi again. If I find out that you are doing this, don't blame me for being rude. "
Although Gu Wei was extremely unhappy, she could only swallow it down. She stood up angrily and took her cheque with him before she left.
Lan Yetian watched as Gu Wei left in anger and depression, feeling that she had helped Li Xi settle another matter. However, Lan Yetian was still worried. He decided to go to the airport tomorrow to see if Gu Wei was really as he had said.
