In the An Group Building.
In the Vice President’s office, a young man in a suit stood in front of a rectangular ecological fish tank.
He held a can of imported fish food in his hand, his eyes fixed on the lively fish in the tank, eagerly competing for food.
However, his thoughts had wandered far away.
“Qi Xiao?”
“His looks are decent, but he lacks the temperament. He can’t compare to Yan Tingshen.”
The girl in a white dress seemed to not recognize him anymore, as obvious disdain appeared in her clear, big eyes.
It was the first time the girl didn’t show her usual warm smile in front of him, and Qi Xiao felt extremely flustered.
He trembled all over and stuttered, “Yun, Yunzi, I…I will, try my best…”
He was well aware of the gap between himself and Yan Tingshen.
Don’t even mention that he was just an assistant to the president at that time, even if he has taken control of the entire An Group, his status and wealth still wouldn’t even be half of Yan Tingshen’s!
But, how can true love be measured by these things?
Although he hasn’t achieved much now, he has a heart that truly and wholeheartedly loves her!
“Trying your best? Hah.” The girl finally smiled, but it was a mocking smile that pierced his heart.
She continued, “After you succeed through your efforts, Yan Tingshen and I might already have children by then.”
After saying that, the girl turned to leave.
Qi Xiao reached out and grabbed her slender arm, his eyes red and pleading in a submissive tone, “No! Yunzi, please don’t be with Yan Tingshen, okay?
“How could a top-notch heir of a wealthy family like him marry an ordinary girl like you?
“Give me some time, I swear, I will make you even happier!”
The girl stared at him incredulously, “Are you insane? Let go of me!”
Qi Xiao shook his head with a pleading look in his eyes.
He couldn’t let go!
He was afraid that if he let go this time, he would completely lose the chance to be with her!
“I’m begging you, Yunzi, I really love you…
“For you, I’m willing to give up even my life…”
Qi Xiao was almost moved by his own words.
Tears swirled in his bloodshot eyes.
He couldn’t believe that Yan Tingshen could love her more than he did!
The girl, however, impatiently rolled her eyes at him, “Then just go die, so annoying.”
At that moment, his whole world seemed to lose its color.
Feeling utterly powerless, Qi Xiao couldn’t bring himself to chase after the girl’s retreating figure.
His feet became too weak to move, and he stood there with a dejected look, head hanging low, until it was dark.
At some point, heavy rain began to pour from the sky.
The rain washed the ground clean, but it couldn’t wash away the sorrow in his heart.
Even in the subsequent days, whenever Qi Xiao thought about it, his heart still ached.
He had tried to turn his grief and anger into motivation, and he didn’t let the blow from the girl he admired hinder him from moving forward.
But when he finally found his place in An’s Group and felt that he could provide a stable and happy life for the girl, an even heavier blow awaited him—
The girl and Yan Tingshen had registered their marriage!
The two of them openly posted their wedding photos on Weibo, and it became a hot topic, even trending for a while.
It was probably at this moment that Qi Xiao lost his motivation to climb higher.
The white moonlight goddess in his heart had completely become someone else’s…
“Young Master, the plan has failed!”
Someone suddenly entered, pulling Qi Xiao’s thoughts back.
Qi Xiao’s expression froze for a moment.
Then, as if finding an outlet for his frustration, he threw the can of fish feed in his hand towards the person’s head and yelled, “Useless!”
