Chapter 59

d period in Li Haonan's life. He initially didn't want to tell Gu Xiaobei this heartless truth, but then thought that if he couldn't keep it from his wife, it would be better to come clean now rather...Chapter 59

Just for a moment, Ni Xuanyi's heart was completely in turmoil, a kind of sorrow she couldn't express. The scene of Li Yi and Tang Moli together directly touched the deepest part of her soul.

In fact, there were many times when she wanted to give up and admit defeat. Li Yi was too aloof for her; he seemed like a myth to her. After making numerous efforts and suffering many heartaches, she finally realized that she could never be part of Li Yi's world.

But whenever she decided to give up, Li Yi would do something to reignite her hope, such as taking her to the villa for fishing and picking grapes during his last vacation, or secretly renovating her home.

Ni Xuanyi didn't know what Li Yi was thinking, but through repeated trials and tribulations, she became more and more infatuated with him.

During these days away from G City, she had been crazily missing Li Yi. But upon returning, the first scene she encountered was of Li Yi with another woman.

Although it's possible that Li Yi and Tang Moli were merely attending an event together, why did this happen to be at a time when there are so many beautiful PR girls around him, yet he chose her And during their holiday period, what business could they possibly have to attend

The company would officially start working again the day after tomorrow. Logically speaking, Li Yi should have guessed that she was coming back today, but other than a New Year's call, he hadn't contacted her since.

Ni Xuanyi stood outside for quite some time and took deep breaths before she mustered up strength to walk back into the suite.

Meng Mang and Ruan Xi were both nearly finished eating. When Meng Mang saw Ni Xuanyi come in, he exclaimed, "Xuanxuan, where have you been Why did it take so long"

"I ran into a few colleagues from the company and talked to them for a while," Ni Xuanyi managed a forced smile.

"Xuanxuan, your complexion doesn't look good. Are you feeling unwell somewhere" Ruan Xi, being a girl, was more meticulous than Meng Mang, immediately noticing something off with Ni Xuanyi.

Ni Xuanyi knew she couldn’t hide her condition any longer and clutched at her chest as she said, "I ate too much spicy food earlier. My stomach hurts."

"Then let's go then. We're done eating anyway. You should get home early to rest," Ruan Xi immediately stood up.

Ni Xuanyi didn’t want to stay any longer and got up, leaving with Meng Mang and Ruan Xi.

Ruan Xi walked ahead of them but just as she was about to leave the room, her phone rang. She took brisk steps out into the corridor so that she could answer it better.

Following behind were Ni Xuanyi and Meng Mang; thinking that Ni Xuanyi truly had a stomachache, Meng Mang reached out to support her arm. Just as Ni Xuanyi was about to push away Meng Mang's hand from her arm, the door of the private room opened up ahead, with Li Yi and Tang Meili walking out accompanied by several people.

It was clear that Li Yi had been drinking, but it didn't seem to dull his sharp senses or piercing gaze. He caught sight of Ni Xuanyi at once, swiftly turning around in her direction.

Under Meng Mang's support, Ni Xuanyi looked at Li Yi and Tang Molili across from her, suddenly recalling a line of lyrics: "In the span of our lives, when we inevitably meet on this narrow path..."

"Xuanyuan, you're back!" Li Yi's voice was still warm and gentle as ever, his smile equally comforting. However, he seemed to have lost some weight compared to before, making his sword-like eyebrows and deep-set eyes more prominent and giving him an even more distinguished appearance.

"Yeah, I'm back." Ni Xuanyi really couldn't think of a better response as her legs felt weak, so she leaned on Meng Mang and gave a dry reply.

Tang Molili wore a black long dress which accentuated her graceful figure. The hem of the dress fluttered gracefully, revealing her delicate ankles, while her feet were adorned with dainty gray-purple suede shoes.

Her long hair was styled in an updo on top of her head, making her features look exceptionally beautiful. Her upper lip curled slightly as she wore a reassuring smile, and her eyes swept back and forth over Ni Xuanyi twice before suddenly exclaiming, "Brother Li Yi, isn't she one of our company's employees"

"Molili, how could you remember Xuanyuan I feel like your work doesn't intersect with hers," Li Yi frowned slightly, his gaze focused on Tang Molili.

"Our work may not intersect, but I've seen her bring documents upstairs before. She has a very distinct appearance that leaves an impression," Tang Molili said to Li Yi in a somewhat petulant tone.

Ni Xuanyi didn't understand what Tang Molili meant by saying she had a "distinct appearance" and thought privately that this woman was quite dark, making it impossible for others to discern whether she was praising or mocking someone, leaving them to guess her intentions themselves.

"You have an excellent memory!" Li Yi didn't delve further into the meaning behind Tang Molili's words; instead, he looked at her with a fond smile that was very alluring, just like how he used to look at Ni Xuanyi in the past.

Ni Xuanyi was suddenly startled, realizing that Li Yi’s kindness towards her wasn’t unique; he treated everyone this way. She had probably been overthinking things.

"Then do you think I’m right Isn’t she working downstairs" Tang Moli kept shaking Li Yi's arm, acting like a spoiled child. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into crescent moons, fully deserving the description of 'seductive glances.'

Seeing this side of Tang Moli made Ni Xuanyi’s heart ache painfully; her body trembled uncontrollably and she found it hard to breathe.

"Xuanxuan, let's go!" Meng Mang gave Li Yi and Tang Moli a stern look. He actually knew Li Yi and was aware that Ni Xuanyi liked him. Seeing Li Yi with his girlfriend made Meng Mang secretly pleased, but when he noticed Ni Xuanyi trembling, his heart hurt for her.

Li Yi glanced at Meng Mang beside Ni Xuanyi, then frowned slightly.

He didn’t like Meng Mang; even if he didn't in the past, others couldn’t tell from his expression. But today, after drinking, it seemed he had difficulty controlling himself. A faint smile appeared on his thin lips: "Xuanxuan, you two can go first if you have something to do. Li An will be back soon; I'll call you when he's here."

Hearing Li Yi’s words, Ni Xuanyi felt as though he was deliberately clarifying their relationship. Seeing him and Tang Moli standing together, the man handsome and the woman beautiful like a golden boy and his princess, she momentarily felt as if she’d returned to that moment when her grandfather passed away, experiencing the pain of being pierced by countless arrows.

She didn’t say anything more to Li Yi. She nodded, allowing Meng Mang to escort her quickly out of there, pressing hard on her chest as they walked, unable to breathe from the pain in her heart.

The two of them hurried all the way to the door and saw Ran Xi finishing a phone call. They called him over and left the hotpot restaurant swiftly. so sorry…" Ran Xu knelt half-way in front of Yan Luoxi and begged for forgiveness without ceasing, "Luoxi, I was wrong; I should have told you everything from the beginning. But I was afraid, afraid...
