Ever since that day when Li Xi had said those ruthless words, Gong Xiaotong had always remembered it. She had never been ignored like this before, let alone in front of the woman she hated, Li Xi. No matter what, she had to find a good opportunity to take revenge.
There was only one thing that had taught her about the scandal. To be the final winner, you have to see the situation clearly. That day, he seized the opportunity to go to the Ling Family to look for Lingyuxiao. Originally, Lingyuxiao did not want to see her again, but he coincidentally met Lingyuxiao at that time who was sulking because of him. She knew that as long as he got onto this topic, he would definitely be able to attract Lingyuxiao, and returning to his side, was just around the corner.
The heavens would always favor these people who never gave up hope. How could Gong Xiaotong know that she would also be able to see Chu Tian and Li Xi sitting and chatting in the cafe when she was walking on the streets? At that time, a plan immediately popped up in her mind, a good idea to successfully get close to Lingyuxiao.
So she intentionally went to the Ling Family to find Lingyuxiao, no matter how he tried to stop her, in order to tell him about the meeting between Chu Tian and Li Xi in front of both of them. She knew that the moment she spoke those words, she would immediately be able to get a good result, because Lingyuxiao was very nervous due to the relationship between Chu Tian and the atmosphere around him.
Just as she expected, Lingyuxiao's face immediately changed because of his words. He was chasing himself out of the house before, but now he went upstairs without a word. Although he did not express anger, what did it mean to not communicate with Li Xi? This meant that he was extremely concerned about Li Xi meeting with Chu Tian.
Just because Li Xi could boast in front of her did not mean that she really had the ability to defend against Lingyuxiao. She only had one goal, to separate the two of them.
Since the first step was already successful, and she was also so agitated by Li Xi. Gong Xiaotong immediately began her second step. She knew that it was not easy to separate two people in such a simple manner. She had to take things slowly. Since she had plenty of time now, she might as well play with the couple.
"It really wasn't easy to call you. You didn't want to pick me up?" Gong Xiaotong had really put in a lot of effort to get Lingyuxiao to pick up her phone. She had wasted her time and effort during the entire morning just to continuously make calls.
"You don't mind making so many phone calls. I'm already annoyed." Lingyuxiao did not want to talk to anyone in the first place, especially when he saw an unfamiliar number calling him. With so many times, and he did not know who it was, or what kind of trouble it would bring him, it would only make him more troubled. However, he couldn't turn off his phone because he was afraid that the company might call at any time. Later on, he switched on his mute phone and continued calling. Coincidentally, there was another long meeting. He only took out his phone when it was almost 12 o'clock and found that there were at least 100 missed calls. He thought that no one would be so bored as to make so many phone calls. If there really was an issue, it wouldn't be good if he didn't answer it. Only then did he call back.
"Do you know who I am?" Gong Xiaotong found it strange that Lingyuxiao's tone on the phone did not sound like how he usually treated his.
"I don't know who you are, but I can confirm that you should be a madman." Lingyuxiao had never seen anyone who was so crazy, and it was a woman.
"I'm not crazy. I am... Gong Xiaotong. " When the three words "Gong Xiaotong" came out, Lingyuxiao originally wanted to hang up immediately, but seeing that she had made so many calls, he could be considered persistent, as though she had something urgent.
"It's you!" That's right, among these people, other than you, who else would do such a crazy thing? I should have already thought of who would do it. " Lingyuxiao knew Gong Xiaotong's temper. Although he did not have an absolute understanding of it, he had seen her stubbornness, facing the criticism from the media, he was still so stubborn.
"That is not good. The reason I called so many times today is because I want to discuss something with you. I know I was an uninvited guest that day and said something I shouldn't have said in front of you two. But since Li Xi knows that you don't like her being in contact with other men, and yet is able to carry you on her back to see Chu Tian, perhaps she doesn't care about you at all. But if she only has you in her heart, then going to see Chu Tian is just to make a decision. Wouldn't that cause the misunderstanding between you two to become deeper and deeper? "So, I have a good idea for you …" Gong Xiaotong intentionally kept Lingyuxiao in suspense. She knew that she couldn't force herself onto the bow in front of Lingyuxiao, and would only be disrespectful if Lingyuxiao agreed to it. Didn't Li Xi say that her man can't be touched? Then if she insisted on being with Lingyuxiao, Li Xi would have a closer look.
"You can still think so much about me?" "Fine, tell me, what can I do for you?" Lingyuxiao was actually extremely annoyed, but when he heard that Gong Xiaotong wanted to help him and see what Li Xi actually thought of him, he started to waver.
"As for women, they will definitely be very nervous towards those they care about. So, my way is, you might as well find another woman to play a part with and let her see you, and then you can see how she will behave and see whether or not she has you in her heart. " Gong Xiaotong purposely paused for a moment before continuing.
"Needless to say. That woman, is you! " Lingyuxiao was naturally well aware of Gong Xiaotong's thoughts. But if it was really as she had said, then it would also be good to probe Li Xi's heart and find out what she was thinking in the end. At least he had to clarify one thing, whether or not she had gotten back on fire with Chu Tian. If she was pretending to be him, he would definitely show it.
"Why me? Before that, you and I had some misunderstandings that could stimulate her strong emotions. If you're with me, I want to find out immediately if she cares about you. "How about it?" Gong Xiaotong was not such a kind-hearted person, she wanted to help Lingyuxiao and probe Li Xi. She had a different idea. Indeed, doing this would let Li Xi know if she cared about trying out Lingyuxiao, but the moment Lingyuxiao chose to try it out with her, they would unconsciously increase the distance between them. Li Xi would never allow another woman to kiss me in front of her. She would definitely be angry at Lingyuxiao, and would also never give him the chance to explain herself. In this way, the conflict would escalate, and the two of them would have a disagreement. They would grow further and further away from each other, never to return.
"What is your purpose in doing this?" After experiencing it once, Lingyuxiao could no longer be at ease and trust Gong Xiaotong.
"What purpose can I have?" The reason I did all those wrong things was because I loved you too much. And now I do it because I love you. Since it is impossible for you to be with me, I hope that you can be happy. For your happiness, I am willing to sacrifice myself. " Gong Xiaotong's lies in front of Lingyuxiao became more and more natural.
"Enough. There was no need to say any more. "Well, come to my house tonight." Although Lingyuxiao did not explicitly agree, but letting Gong Xiaotong go to Ling Family, wasn't that equivalent to indirectly agreeing?
Gong Xiaotong was an existence that she could not ignore, that Li Xi had to admit. She didn't think that Gong Xiaotong would bite off more than she could chew, and specifically choose to fight when she was at conflict with Lingyuxiao. She didn't know what Lingyuxiao was angry about either. She had only met Chu Tian a few times, so they chatted at the cafe for a while. From Gong Xiaotong's mouth, it was as if she was having a secret affair with Chu Tian. Forget about it, Lingyuxiao was really angry. If she was angry, then so be it. She no longer had anything to think about.
It wasn't that she couldn't defeat Gong Xiaotong, that's why she could say such nonsense in front of him. It was just that the current her could not get angry over such trivial things and retaliate against Gong Xiaotong. She also knew that Lingyuxiao only saw her as his big sister and loved her, but this was a matter between her and Lingyuxiao, so no one had the right to interrupt, let alone care about it.
She had also thought about what her and Lingyuxiao's future would be like. If, after the child was born, Lingyuxiao still loved her as if she was dead, she would already be a woman in his memories. She would definitely divorce Lingyuxiao right away and leave him. She did not want to live a life with a man who did not love her. That was a path that tormented her and she could not continue on. Even if the road to get divorced from Lingyuxiao was full of twists and turns, she wasn't afraid. What she was afraid of was losing herself and becoming a walking dead wife by Lingyuxiao's side.
She didn't care one bit about what Gong Xiaotong had told her, because she had already decided long ago that she wouldn't be played around by any other third parties after she and Lingyuxiao got together. If she were to quarrel with someone who was completely unrelated to her, she would only appear to have lowered her status.
Of course, even though she knew that Lingyuxiao was angry, she did not do anything to make up for it. She was just like that. If Lingyuxiao wanted to misunderstand, if he wanted to be angry, she could just let him be. It was already tiring enough for her to take care of herself and her child every day, so there was no need to think so much.
Even when Lingyuxiao was sulking, she continued to live his own life and persuade himself to not care about Lingyuxiao's every move. Only in this way could she leave in such a carefree manner.
That night.
"I didn't expect you to be so romantic." When Gong Xiaotong came to the Ling Family as promised, she had already been home for a long time. She even took the effort to prepare a new European style tablecloth, red wine, steak, and some candlelight as a rather romantic dinner was laid out before Gong Xiaotong's eyes. She didn't expect it. Lingyuxiao would actually spend so much effort just to have a meal with him. However, what she did not expect was that when Lingyuxiao did all these, he only had one thought in his mind, and that he had to put on a show in order to see through Li Xi's sincerity. The starting and final goal was to surround Li Xi, not her.
"Sit down." Lingyuxiao's expression did not change, but he took a glance at the door. Normally when Li Xi went out, he would return at this time. If the scene that he and Gong Xiaotong acted in, where the only audience was not there, would have lost its meaning.
Lingyuxiao did not get up. If Li Xi was present, he would definitely act like a gentleman and pull out Gong Xiaotong's chair, waiting for her to sit down before returning to her own seat. The key thing was that he didn't want to do that in Li Xi's absence at all.
Seeing Lingyuxiao being so casual, Gong Xiaotong was obviously angry in her heart. But when she thought about how rare it was to have dinner with Lingyuxiao, she immediately changed her mind. She was not in a hurry to sit down, standing by the side in a daze, waiting to see if Lingyuxiao would really make her stand like that or not.
