"My wife, you are finally willing to get up. You have to be a bit faster, or the plan will fail. " Before telling Li Xi what exactly happened to wake her up so early, she had to keep it a secret.
"You have to let me know what's going on." Li Xi muttered as she changed her clothes. Of course, she didn't think that Lingyuxiao was bringing her to the company. Even if she knew that he was going to the company, she never would have thought that he was trying to expose Gong Xiaotong's lies.
"Hurry up, wash up and come down for breakfast, then take you to the company. When we get there, you'll know. " Lingyuxiao had already prepared everything, all he needed to do now was to wait for Li Xi to eat breakfast.
And Gong Xiaotong had already not seen Lingyuxiao for quite a few days. Ever since the photo of him and Lingyuxiao kissing was exposed, Lingyuxiao called him once, saying that she had gone too far and never wanted to have any contact with him again. He knew Lingyuxiao's character. If he ran over to find him, she would really be driven out. That would be terrible. And men are like that. If you chase them too closely, he'll find you annoying. If she wanted to learn how to control a situation, she would do so.
Putting Lingyuxiao to the side temporarily, he had been busy these past few days dealing with the annoying media and announcements on him that continuously came to find him, and had no time to rest. He had put all his effort into his work and felt that there was not enough time, so he rushed five or six announcements in one day and did what he had to do in the past three days, completely treating himself as if he was risking his life to earn money.
When Amy called Gong Xiaotong, she was a little surprised. She never thought that Lingyuxiao would be willing to see him so soon. It seemed that she had some weight to her. Although she said that he wanted to talk to her about the endorsement of the ad, she understood that as long as Lingyuxiao gave the order to see her, there was still hope. She didn't think too much into it, and didn't know that Lingyuxiao was planning to set a trap for her to jump into.
Lingyuxiao rarely brought Li Xi to the company to show himself. However, no matter how much he asked, Lingyuxiao would not reply. She could only finish his breakfast with the fastest speed possible, and wait for Lingyuxiao to bring his there before he would find out what exactly happened.
Just as he finished his breakfast, Amy called. He reminded Lingyuxiao not to forget the time and to meet up at 9 o'clock with Gong Xiaotong.
When Amy called Gong Xiaotong yesterday, shsheheard the sound of music coming from her side. After looking through Gong Xiaotong's schedule for the past few days, she realized that her work schedule was actually full. Even when he called Gong Xiaotong, he only picked up a few calls. Gong Xiaotong promised to go to Ling Fu to take a look, but she only had half an hour, because she still had other announcements, so she did not have any extra time to rest. He knew that this meeting was not an easy one, so he was very nervous.
"Don't look at me with that expression. In short, if you follow me and do as I say, you'll understand. " When Lingyuxiao pulled Li Xi out of the door, he carefully observed Li Xi's reaction, only to discover that she had a sulking face, and knew that it was only because he did not tell her the reason that she had such a sullen expression. Lingyuxiao smiled and shook her hand.
"Then hurry to the company. Best to be there right away. I don't want to be so suspenseful. " Li Xi felt that Lingyuxiao was really annoying. He knew that his curiosity was strong, but he still tortured him like this.
"Yes sir!" Lingyuxiao let go of Li Xi's hands, then ran to the garage to grab the car, and drove to the front of Li Xi to get off the car.
Gong Xiaotong always remembered the time she met Lingyuxiao, and she even set an alarm to remind herself. She was too busy working yesterday, and finally got a few hours of rest. But because she had to give up her sleep, she could be considered to have done everything that was merciful for Lingyuxiao because of their relationship.
The car drove smoothly all the way down to the first floor of the company. Li Xi originally wanted to drive away, but just as she raised her hand, the door opened early. So it was Amy who came to open it for him, he was truly a dutiful man. Actually, Li Xi was not used to this. She was more willing for everyone to treat her like an ordinary person, rather, there was no sense of distance. This submissiveness made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they were separated by a mountain.
"Is everything ready?" Lingyuxiao got off the car and personally went to lead Li Xi off. Then, he turned around and looked at Amy, asking him about how he was doing.
"Everything is ready. I'm waiting for you to come over." Amy led the way, while Lingyuxiao dragged Li Xi and walked behind.
From the moment he entered the revolving glass door, all the employees that he met on the way stopped and nodded to greet him, making him feel like he was some kind of foreign emissary. Lingyuxiao, on the other hand, seemed to be accustomed to these actions, his expression was very serious, making it hard to tell if he was happy or angry. So Lingyuxiao was in this state when it came to companies, she didn't know that Lingyuxiao was also someone who liked to put on airs, the Lingyuxiao that she had seen before definitely did not look like this.
Very quickly, Li Xi was led to the CEO's office. Then, he told Amy to guard outside the door. As long as she heard news of Gong Xiaotong entering the company, he would immediately inform him.
"So it turns out that you want to bring me to see Gong Xiaotong." Hearing Gong Xiaotong's name, Li Xi finally understood what Lingyuxiao was trying to do.
"Not entirely! I didn't mean to make you face to face with her, but didn't you say you wanted an explanation? I'll let you hear the truth for yourself right away. If she comes over, you can go to the lounge and find out who's lying. " Lingyuxiao had already planned everything. This time, he would not let Gong Xiaotong, that cunning fox, have the chance to play tricks.
Gong Xiaotong meticulously dressed up before running to the company to meet Lingyuxiao. When the employees of the company saw Gong Xiaotong, they immediately welcomed him and took the initiative to help her lead the way. This made Gong Xiaotong very happy, thinking that it was Lingyuxiao who had instructed him to do this in advance.
Under the guidance of the employees, Gong Xiaotong walked with ease to Lingyuxiao's CEO's office.
Of course, a second before she stepped into the office, Li Xi had long since hidden herself in the resting room. When she came in to see Lingyuxiao, she could only see him sitting on the office chair.
"Didn't you say you never wanted to see me again? "Why are you asking me out today?" Gong Xiaotong didn't wait for Lingyuxiao to speak and sat on the leather sofa.
"Now the two of us are in an uproar, and it has seriously affected my image and the company's economy. Yet, you can still smile. Lingyuxiao knew that he couldn't use force if he wanted to get ahold of Gong Xiaotong.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this. You know, I just loved you so much that I forgot I was a star and had no privacy at all. " The reason why Gong Xiaotong did this was to separate Li Xi from him. From her point of view, even though Lan Yetian wanted to give her the chance to attack Lingyuxiao and destroy his company, she still had some feelings for Lingyuxiao, and hoped that she could do him a small favor. Moreover, for Lingyuxiao to be able to tell him this, it proved that he did not hate him.
"Are you happy that I've become a heartless person?" Lingyuxiao was betting as well. Since Gong Xiaotong had personally said that she loved him, then he wanted to see if it was true.
"NO!" I'm not happy at all. Actually... Actually, nothing happened to us that night. I was just standing by your side, accompanying you for a while. When I was sleepy, I had a new room to sleep in. "It's just that I was too petty and let the waiters say we only got one room." Gong Xiaotong thought that as long as she spoke the truth, Lingyuxiao would forgive her previous actions, and understand that she only did those foolish things because he loved him. She never would have thought that Lingyuxiao would fall into her trap. It looked like she wasn't shrewd enough.
Gong Xiaotong never expected that when she said those words, Li Xi, who was hiding in the resting room, would not let a single word out. And it was because Lingyuxiao was willing to see her happy.
"Now that I have told you the truth, can you not be angry with me and let me stay by your side? I don't need any titles, I can also be accused by others as Little San, as long as you can cut a small place in your heart for me to live in. " Gong Xiaotong spoke in a proper manner. If it was a normal man, she would probably be slightly moved. However, in Lingyuxiao's heart, only Li Xi would not take these emotional words of Gong Xiaotong to heart.
When Li Xi heard these words, goosebumps rose all over her body. Originally, she had wanted to see how Lingyuxiao would respond to her confession, but she had accidentally knocked on the door of the lounge, causing the two people who were in confrontation to focus their attention on her.
"There's someone inside?" Gong Xiaotong immediately became alert. If others were to hear what she had said to Lingyuxiao, who knew if they would cause a ruckus. Until now, she had not thought that the person hiding inside could be Li Xi. Because in her opinion, Li Xi had already given up all hope for Lingyuxiao and it would be impossible to contact him again. As for which corner she was hiding in, she didn't have the time to find out.
"You heard it all. Come out." Even if Li Xi hadn't made that noise, Lingyuxiao had planned to call Li Xi out.
Li Xi didn't actually want to go out and face Gong Xiaotong. She already knew what was going on, so there was no need to pester Gong Xiaotong anymore. Fortunately, she and Lingyuxiao were not disbanded by Gong Xiaotong's estrangement, otherwise, she really would have succeeded. But now that she had been discovered, she could only brace herself and leave.
When she saw Li Xi slowly poke her head out and then walk in front of him, Gong Xiaotong opened her eyes wide, then appeared incomparably awkward. She didn't even know how to move her hands, let alone what she had to say.
"Now, you should at least believe that I'm innocent, right?" Lingyuxiao stood up and walked to Li Xi's side, hugging her body, with a look of incomparable intimacy.
In Gong Xiaotong's eyes, it was truly dazzling. However, she could not say anything else. After all, she had left Li Xi with Li Xi earlier and told him that she had a relationship with him. But now, she had personally overturned what she had said, making the situation awkward.
"I didn't say I don't believe you. I just wanted to know." Li Xi did not even glance at Gong Xiaotong. In her opinion, Gong Xiaotong was just a fake woman, he wasn't worth for her to be angry over. Most importantly, Lingyuxiao had always been on his side and had not been bewitched by Gong Xiaotong. And also due to Gong Xiaotong, she was able to see clearly that Lingyuxiao still had her in his heart.
