How could Gu Zhengrong be willing to let Tang Xiaoyu, whom he had not seen for such a long time, choose to be Mr Li’s goddaughter at such a time? Even though there were many rumors, Gu Zhengrong could not believe that Tang Xiaoyu was such a woman.

The woman who had been by his side for so many years was actually standing by his opponent’s side, competing with him for every big contract and project.

However, Gu Zhengrong did not care about these reasons. As long as Tang Xiaoyu was happy, he was even willing to give her all his wealth, resources, and connections, but the current Tang Xiaoyu was no longer the Tang Xiaoyu of the past.

“Then get lost now, go as far away as you can. It’s best if you make me invisible so that I can’t hear you.”

Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were vicious and her words were like sharp daggers that stabbed into Gu Zhengrong’s heart. Looking at the person in front of him, Gu Zhengrong had a taste of regret for the first time. It was so painful that he wished he were dead.

“Okay, Xiaoyu. If you ever feel tired by his side, I can still accommodate you. As long as you’re willing to come back, I’m willing to wait for you here.”

Gu Zhengrong’s voice was gentle and his eyes were filled with warmth as he looked at Tang Xiaoyu. His heart, however, was in tears.

If he had known what he was thinking earlier, if he had known how much Tang Xiaoyu meant to him earlier, if he had known how aggrieved Tang Xiaoyu felt earlier, all of this would not have happened, but there were no ifs in this world…

Gu Zhengrong would still choose to ignore Tang Xiaoyu like before. Even if he did not want to admit it, Tang Xiaoyu still had a place in his heart.

“If that’s what you think, I can tell you right now that you and I will never be together.”

Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were terrifyingly cold as she looked at Gu Zhengrong and continued fiercely, “We weren’t together in the past, we aren’t together now, and we won’t be together in the future. Do you think you’re that cool? Do you think I really love you that much? Gu Zhengrong, your imagination is so wonderful that I can’t bear to expose you, but what should I do? I still want to tell you that I can’t bear to see you like this now because I won’t be able to control myself from laughing at you.”

Gu Zhengrong looked at Tang Xiaoyu and did not say another word. The sorrow in his eyes could no longer be contained. Looking at her glasses, he could see how heartless he was to her back then.

“How is it? Does it feel good?”

Tang Xiaoyu laughed out loud, her cold laughter slowly dissipating in the cold hospital.

“Do you know how pitiful you are right now? You’re so pitiful that I can’t help but pity you.”

Gu Zhengrong remained silent as he looked at her sadly.

All of this was what he owed her. It was all the ill fate that he had saved up in the past. It was all the pain that he had accumulated from when he had once ignored her.

“Now that you’ve won, I won’t explain or refute you no matter what you say. I know Dongli Company has a big bidding event and you’ll be participating too, right? Since you’re going, why don’t we go together?”

Gu Zhengrong finally remembered how influential Tang Xiaoyu was when she appeared before him again.

Gu Zhengrong had always looked down on this woman. He could not believe that Tang Xiaoyu would one day become so foreign and make him see her in a different light.

Before this, the girl whom he saw in a different light had married the most influential man in the country.

Perhaps Pei Ge was doing well, or perhaps she was not doing well, but Gu Zhengrong did not want to probe further.

He had already made his heart clear and understood how important Tang Xiaoyu was to him.

“If you think I’m pitiful, then take pity on me. I just want to tell you that I can give up the bidding to you. I’ve already obtained the internal price list, I can provide it to you.”

Gu Zhengrong’s voice was bitter as he watched Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkle. Under the starlight, her shadow became clearer and more familiar.

It was so clear that Gu Zhengrong did not dare to forget. It was so familiar that he did not dare to forget Tang Xiaoyu’s appearance in his mind.

“Do you think I need your help? Have you forgotten what Mr Li can give me? Do you really think I need your price list?”

Tang Xiaoyu coldly harrumphed as her eyes turned colder.

She was so cold that she seemed to have accumulated frost all over her body. There was no other reason but because Tang Xiaoyu hated Gu Zhengrong.

“Xiaoyu, don’t be like this…”

Gu Zhengrong looked at Tang Xiaoyu and still could not bear to let go of his hand.

Every inch of her body had traces of his past, every scent he missed the most.

“Gu Zhengrong, are you leaving or not?”

Tang Xiaoyu’s temper flared as she looked at him impatiently.

“I’ll leave, but Xiaoyu, I really love you. I know now that I was wrong in the past. I know that I’ve treated you badly in the past. Xiaoyu, can we…”

“No! Get lost! Now!”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the entrance. The security guards and bodyguards at the entrance were finally attracted by the commotion.

“What are you people doing? Didn’t you see this person coming in? Are you all blind?”

Tang Xiaoyu cursed.

She could no longer stand the fact that Gu Zhengrong was becoming more and more affectionate in front of her. This was completely different from the person she knew.

Tang Xiaoyu thought that she had changed. From the looks of it, Gu Zhengrong had become someone she did not know.

There was a kind of change in the world that happened to one when one did not know it. It had nothing to do with whether one wanted to or not, but rather because one did not realize it.

“Miss Tang, did something happen?”

The bodyguard walked forward and looked at the two in confusion. “Miss Tang, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Are you blind? Why did you let this person in!”

Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes twinkled.

“I’m sorry, Miss Tang. It’s our fault. We won’t let him in again.”
