Xue Li felt that Chi Yu had changed.
Eversince the two of them had slept together and had a real relationship.
Since the beginning of their relationship, it was not that Xue Li and Chi Yu have not gone off the rails during physical contact, but they often stopped at a point. Xue Li knew how hard it was for the man to endure, and there have been a few times when she relented, but Chi Yu refused.
"Well, I want to save this precious moment until our wedding day."
Marriage?
Xue Li felt that this was a very distant word, or that she had never thought about it at all.
However, this sentence of Chi Yu really touched Xue Li at the moment. After all, it was a rare experience for Xue Li to be so treasured. But when she met Chi Yu's beautiful peach eyes, she felt guilty.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yu, who once said this sentence, would later take away her first night after being drunk.
At the moment when the pain of tearing swept through her senses, Xue Li was not only in pain, but also confused.
Especially when she met the scarlet dark light in Chi Yu's eyes.
In a trance, Xue Li had the illusion that Chi Yu had changed.
In fact, the man was indeed different from before.
Chi Yu's possessiveness was so strong that Xue Li occasionally felt breathless. Not only did he check her phone, but even Xue Li's itinerary abroad Chi Yu will grasp through various channels, as if he has installed a miniature monitor on her body.
Xue Li never thought that she could endure this.
However, she lived with Chi Yu for two more years in such a state.
A lot happened in the past two years. For example, Xue Dehui gained a firm foothold in the group and gradually extended his claws towards Xue Li like a lion that has been lurking for a long time, another was Xue Xiangxiang and Fu Qingyu's decision to step into the hall of honour after their separation … Xue Li's emotions have been tensed for a long time under Chi Yu's pressing attention, just like a string that was stretched to the limit and could break at any time.
The energy that has been accumulated for a long time burst out in the blink of an eye.
But the result was very tragic.
Xue Li was stood up by Chi Yu at their engagement banquet. The next day, the group held an interim board meeting. The directors who were originally on Xue Li's side suddenly backtracked, Xue Li was pulled down, and Xue Dehui gained power.
Both events were related to Chi Yu.
When the man stepped into Xue Li's office in a white suit that was supposed to be worn at the wedding, with an unfamiliar but natural gesture, Xue Li was unexpectedly calm.
"Why?"
She had a feeling of foreboding for a long time, but she always deceived herself and didn't want to believe it, but when things finally settled down, Xue Li suddenly felt relieved.
For the past two years, her heart, which had been in fear and anxiety, had fallen back to the original place in an extremely awkward way.
The only thing she wanted was an answer.
An answer to be given by Chi Yu.
"Why?" Chi Yu repeated it once, biting every word very carefully, as if he was tasting it carefully. "Xue Li, you are so smart, don't you know why? Ha."
Xue Li still looked at him stubbornly, as if she could not understand Chi Yu's sarcastic tone.
The two stood silently.
In the end, Chi Yu looked away and opened his mouth first.
"I am not a stand-in for anyone."
Sure enough.
This was an answer that Xue Li had long expected.
"I never used you as a substitute for anyone, Chi Yu."
"Liar!" Chi Yu turned his head suddenly. "I've met Fu Qingyu, he is so similar to me, even his name…"
Speaking of this, Chi Yu felt it hard to endure his emotions, and while clenching his fists, he bitterly dropped a sentence. "I'm not a fool, Xue Li, I won't be anyone's stand-in, and I am not anyone's stand-in."
Xue Li wanted to explain, but when she looked at Chi Yu whose eyes were filled with hatred for her, she suddenly realized that no matter how many reasons or good excuses there were, things were meaningless now.
She and Chi Yu finally walked into a dead end.
What's more, at the beginning, she opened up because Chi Yu and Fu Qingyu had somewhat similar looks and temperament.
Only later…
Xue Li closed her eyes to prevent the tears from flowing.
"I see." She didn't ask about Chi Yu's role in Xue Dehui's drama, but said in a calm and tired tone. "Chi Yu, let's break up."
Because Xue Li closed her eyes, she didn't see the man's dim eyes and distorted expression when she said the word "break up".
Chi Yu, who was stiff all over, stared at Xue Li, as if he wanted to stare through her soul.
"Okay, as you wish."
At this point, the two of them turned away from each other and never crossed paths again.
Xue Xue: "It's so sad, this is telling us the importance of communication."
System: "…"
Xue Xue: "What about the ending?"
System: "Xue Li later lost her prestige under everyone's watchful gaze. She sold the rest of her shares and left the company. She was planning to go abroad, but she unexpectedly died in a serial traffic accident on the way to the airport."
System: "After Chi Yu heard the news, he felt that it was because of Xue Dehui's unwillingness to let Xue Li go freely and forcing her to leave that caused Xue Li's tragedy. Therefore, in order to retaliate against Xue Dehui, he did many crazy things in the next few years with the idea of dying with the other party. Finally, he became insane, ran to the top floor of the apartment where he used to live with Xue Li and committed suicide."
Xue Xue: "…If he had known this, why bother at the beginning."
The person who made Xue Li lose hope was Chi Yu. Chi Yu himself probably knew this, but he refused to face the bloody cruel facts and chose to put all the blame on Xue Dehui. As a result, he also ended up in such a miserable end. How ridiculous and how sad?
Obviously they wouldn't have gone this far if they talked it out.
Xue Xue: "What is the client's requirement?"
System: "The client's requirement is that she hopes to prevent Chi Yu from blackening and keep his life on a normal track. "
On the normal track?
Xue Xue: "…And then? "
System: "No, this is the only requirement of the client. "
Xue Xue: "What? You remember correctly, right? "
System:" How could I remember wrong! " The system was not happy to have its professionalism questioned. " The tasks issued by the client are double checked before signing the contract, so there is no way that there could be a mistake."
Xue Xue: "Okay, I get it, then…"
System: "Friendly reminder, the mission target is about to appear."
Xue Xue: "…Understood. "
