Chapter 1170: Bitterness, Aggrieved? (2)
EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Lei then went into his office.
“Yes, Master Qi!”
Yang Sheng took a peek at Gu Lingsha before leaving while she waited for a while before heading inside.
Qi Lei went to his table and put the documents in his hands on it. Then, he grabbed the documents that had been left on his table to look through them. These documents required his signature to proceed.
Gu Lingsha came in and stopped behind him, gripping the documents in her hands tightly as she was just dazed watching him from behind. Qi Lei did not notice her standing behind him. He grabbed a pen and started signing the documents.
He turned around when he heard Yang Sheng’s voice and saw that Gu Lingsha was still there. “Have a seat. Say what you need to, but I have an appointment later.”
He stopped avoiding her and was just treating her coldly right now. Gu Lingsha felt the pain as their relationship felt like strangers now.
While Qi Lei sat down on the other end of the sofa, Yang Sheng handed him a cup of tea. Gu Lingsha pondered for a moment before heading over.
“Thank you.”
Gu Lingsha took a sip from the coffee Yang Sheng prepared and looked at Qi Lei who was casually enjoying his tea.
Qi Lei did not particularly like tea in the past. He used to prefer coffee, but he had changed. Similarly, while he used to be called a Casanova, he had stopped visiting entertainment sites. He had made a 180-degree turn and became someone she did not recognize.
“Do you still hate me?” she asked quietly after taking a sip of the coffee again as she put the documents she held down. Her tone sounded helpless, and she emitted a depressive vibe around her.
Was it because of what happened between Gu Qiwu and Doris?
“I don’t have the energy to hate someone every day. There’s nothing wrong with being carefree. Moreover, you’re my sister-in-law right now, and we’re working in the same company, aren’t we?” Qi Lei lifted his head and glanced at her.
Gu Lingsha’s expression froze as she lowered her eyes in disappointment. “I feel sad every time I think about it. I never expected things to turn out this way. Conflict has made us forget about the good old times. I don’t know what went wrong between us! Qi Lei, is there no way for us to be like before?”
She seemed lost when she looked at Qi Lei while her gaze seemed fragile as she tried her best to stop tears from falling out. “I thought about it a lot. Perhaps, I’m in the wrong. We might still be able to go back to our past relationship if you stayed out of the conflict between Mu Yuchen and us. Isn’t that the best option? I only have two friends: Lingtian and you. Lingtian passed away, and I don’t want to lose you…or else, I won’t even have anyone to talk to…”
Her tears started falling as she spoke. She did not want to pretend to be strong anymore. She felt weak, aggrieved, and helpless as she covered her little face and sobbed silently.
Frowning, Qi Lei just watched her without saying a thing.
“Is there any way to stop them from getting a divorce? Why must things turn out like this? Qi Lei, tell me, what else can I do?” Gu Lingsha clumsily wiped the tears off her face.
“You should ask Qi Feng instead of me. Do I have to remind you what our relationship is right now?” Qi Lei said coldly, “We have nothing to do with each other anymore, Shasha. I’m not a cruel person, and you know that.”
“Qi Lei, your brother changed too. I can feel that he’s getting colder towards me. He might not treat me like he used to be. He’s been in contact with Xi Xiaye, and she even sent flowers to him just now…” Gu Lingsha sniffed as she gave Qi Lei a helpless glance. “Ever since my parents got into conflict, he…”
“I’m sorry for what happened to your parents. It’s painful to watch a loving couple end up in divorce, but please adjust your mindset. After all, it’s their private matter and there’s only so much that we can do.” Qi Lei somewhat understood what Gu Lingsha meant.
Xi Xiaye had given Qi Feng flowers?
He did not know what her intention was, but was there something behind it? She did not even care about Qi Lei, so why would she have her eyes on that disabled guy?
He was worth nothing!
So what if he was handsome?
Qi Lei was rather handsome too!
“Qi Lei…”
“State your business!” Qi Lei impatiently interrupted.
Gu Lingsha was stunned as she looked at him with her teary eyes.

He moved the tissue box on the table nearer to her without saying anything.
Inhaling a deep breath, she put on a bitter, defeated smile as she grabbed some tissues and wiped her tears away. She grabbed her document and threw it in front of Qi Lei. She flung it so hard that his tea spilled everywhere.
“The project in City B is approved. Please decide on the next course of action!”
She then got up and ran out of the door.
