Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  Seeing the photo of Ou Mu Xuan carrying Gu Jia Xi out of the Ou Manor on the newspaper, Ye Xiang Yu no longer felt like being angry, her heart ached so much that she wanted to hide.

  Yesterday, he even lowered his self-esteem and took the initiative to ask her if he had done anything wrong.

  He came to find her so diligently, intentionally finding topics to talk about. When she saw other men giving her gifts, she would get angry. She thought he cared about her, and that the previous time was just an accident. So what about this time?

  Is Ou Shi's building still far from the Ou Huang building? He deliberately drove to find Gu Jiaxi, could there be some misunderstanding again?

  Arriving at the Luo Corporation building, Ye Xuanmo directly walked into the office. Now, she didn't want to do anything or see anyone, only wanting to find a place to hide, and even... leave this place!

  However, as soon as I opened the office door, a wave of fresh flower fragrance came rushing towards me!

  Ye Xuanmo came back to her senses and found that every corner of her office was filled with brightly blooming roses, their fiery red color symbolizing passionate love!

  On Ye Xuan's office chair, Ou Mu-Xuan seemed to have been sitting there for a long time, just waiting for her arrival.

  In the past, whenever Ye Xuan saw that exquisite face, she would always feel her blood boiling with anger. However, now she didn't even have the energy to hate him.

  How can he be so cruel and play with her like this?

  She and Gu Jiaxiang are the best of sisters, how can he be so carefree between them? How can he come to her with such a nonchalant attitude?

  Seeing the expression on her face, Ou Mu Xuan stood up and walked over, with a hint of nervousness on his perfect face, "Do you like it?"

  "......" Ye Xuanmu looked at the flowers around her and felt a sense of desolation in her heart, "I don't like them!"

  "......you......aren't you most fond of roses?"

  "I like it, but not because you gave it!" Ye Xuanmu glared at him, looking at his perfect face, why didn't he belong to her?

  Between them, is this considered fate or not? Why did she have to meet him six years ago and why is she still entangled with him six years later?

  Why... did she hurt her own heart so easily again, why?!

  Ou Mu Xuan frowned, "Dead girl, what exactly do I need to do to make you happy?"

  "You don't have to do anything!" Ye Xuanmo weakly walked around her, "I still have a lot of things to attend to, President Ou please leave!"

  "Y...". Ou Mu Xuan frowned tightly, "Qian Qian, don't make trouble, okay?"

  Ye Xuanmo smiled disdainfully and said, "Mr. Ou, please leave!"

  "Reason!"

  "I'm so stupid!" Ye Xuan muttered, staring in one direction, "I easily lose control of my heart, even though it has been hurt to the point of being unbearable before, yet it's still foolish enough to be moved by some inexplicable person."

  "...’ Ou Mu Xuan was stunned, staring at her face."

  "I swear I will never like anyone again, I swear that no man will ever hurt me again. But, I'm still so pathetic." Ye Xuan's smile was distant, "I'm really not good at this, once I like someone and get hurt, the wound is hard to heal. I don't play emotional games, nor can I bear to play them."

  Tears just burst out of my eyes, "I try to make myself look calm, try to convince myself that I don't care, but there are some things, I really can't help it!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "So, if you're not serious, if you just want to look for excitement, then please leave." Ye Xuan smiled quietly, "I don't want to give up my pride again, I don't want to trample on my own dignity even if it means I won't be able to win back a heart that has left me."

  "I'm serious!" Ou Mu Xuan grasped her shoulders tightly, "I've never been so serious in my life!"

  "Really?" Ye Xuan's smile was slightly disdainful, "Are you seriously teasing me?"

  "You...!" Ou Mu Xuan's anger flared, "Dead girl, why do you always refuse to believe me? Do I look like someone who is not trustworthy?"

  "It's precisely because you look so trustworthy that I fell for it!"

  "Me..." Ou Mu Xuan was anxious and angry, but he didn't know how to explain himself. He had never minded others' misunderstandings before, but at this moment, he urgently wanted to make himself clear.

  He is a master of negotiation, no matter how formidable the opponent, he can always cope with ease, but now, he is at a loss, completely unsure what to do!

  "What can I do for you to believe me?"

  Ye Xuanmo looked at him, smiled sadly, then walked to the office door, not to open it, but to lock it, and pulled his hand, "Come with me!"

  Ou Mu Xuan followed her into the resting room in her office with a puzzled expression, unsure of what she was going to do suddenly.

  Ye Xuan released his hand, tiptoed and suddenly kissed him on the lips!

  Ou Muxuan was taken aback, surprised by her initiative, but her kiss, however, clearly lacked much emotion, instead carrying a hint of determination and despair as it lingered on his lips.

  Such a kiss, Ou Mu Xuan wanted to respond, but he couldn't move at all. He liked her taste very much, but absolutely not in this mood!

  "What are you doing?" Ou Mu Xuan pushed her away and looked at her tear-stained face.

  Ye Xuan didn't say a word, but one by one, she unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her enticing skin bit by bit before his eyes.

  His blood was boiling at that moment, but even in such a situation, he didn't have no feelings for her. However, even if she would give it to him now, he wouldn't want it!

  He then held her in his arms, stopping her movements. His heart suddenly ached as if stabbed by a knife. "You little fool," he thought, "how can you torture my heart like this?"

  "Girl, do you know what you're doing?"

  Girl, a very familiar term of endearment. It seems like a long, long time ago, there was someone who held her in his arms and affectionately called out to her as "girl" by her ear.

  In many beautiful dreams, there is such a title, but Ye Xuanmo can't remember at all, can't remember who in her life still loves her so much, tolerates everything about her, disregarding everything else, and only regards her as the whole of her life.

  Maybe this is just a fantasy? Such a person would only exist in her dreams, right? Men are unreliable, especially the one by her side.

  Ye Xuanmo remained still in his arms, a hint of disdainful smile at the corner of her lips, "I know, you don't want me, do you?"

  "I..."

  "You're willing to tolerate me, be with me, spend time and effort on me, isn't it just because you want to sleep with me?" Ye Xuan's smile was bleak. "Now, I'll give myself to you, let you have all of me, so you can leave me, right?"

  "Dead girl, what are you talking about?" Ou Mu Xuan held her tightly, his heart aching to the point of being unable to breathe as he said such detestable words. Clearly, he should be very angry, but now, he was instead heartbroken for her.

  "Now, you can do whatever you want to me, but you have to promise me one thing: treat Jia Yun well. She's a good girl, she doesn't have any shady past, no bad temper, she's a clean and innocent girl, so you..."

  "Shut up!" Oumu Xuan yelled, cutting her off, and stared tightly at her calm face. "What kind of person is Gu Jia Chen to me? What are you talking nonsense about?"

  "It doesn't matter?" Ye Xuan's smile was cold and detached. "Does Mr. Ou really plan on shirking all responsibility?"

  "I..."
