Say It If You Like It (2)

EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation No one else could understand this feeling better than Xi Xiaye. Was it not the same with Xi Xinyi and her? Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi did everything they could to leave Yueying to Xi Xinyi. They had even drugged her and tried to get her into Qi Leis bed. Their intentions were as clear as day! However, things did not turn out the way they wanted. Just how similar could their fate be? Just that, she was way luckier than Qi Lei right now. Xi Xiaye had no words at the moment. "You have to hang in there no matter what. Dont forget about CEO Wangs expectations of you. Youll be able to walk your own path like me even if you leave them. The two of us have oddly similar fates. If Im lucky enough to escape from my shackles, I believe you will too. Isnt everything going right on track now?" She tried to encourage him. Qi Lei laughed. "Are you worried about me?" Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him. "I promised CEO Wang that Id look after you. I cant go back on my promise now. Ive met Qi Feng several times, but I cant figure him out at all." She spread open her palms, the scars on them still visible. Qi Lei paused. "Im sorry for getting you involved." "Since when are you so polite? Its not your fault anyway, so you dont have to apologize. Gu Qiwu and Doris are filing for divorce right now. I guess Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng arent having an easy time at the moment. You should be quick with what youre doing so that you wouldnt be too affected when Qi Feng takes over Qi Kai." "Ive heard about that too. The lawyer Gu Qiwu looked for is Liuyuns mother. It seems like hes eager to win this." Qi Lei had heard from Yang Sheng that Gu Qiwu invested a lot into hiring Dongfang Liuyuns mother, the undefeatable legendary lawyer. Liuyun? Xi Xiaye seemed surprised. She frowned and gave Qi Lei a meaningful glance. "Are you very close with Ms. Dongfang?" Qi Lei felt a chill when he heard Xi Xiayes question. He looked back into her eyes before replying, "Well, not really. We just played some games together and went out drinking once or twice." "Interesting, Ms. Dongfang seems great. Arent you the Casanova? Itd be amazing if you could make her your wife. I know a little bit about Ms. Dongfang. My father is convincing her to join University A as a lecturer. They are recruiting for an archeology expert, and itd be great if she can join." Xi Xiaye smiled as she looked at Qi Lei. He shrugged and gave her his usual glance. "What a heartless woman. The whole world knows that my heart belongs to you. Youd have become my wife already if Mu Yuchen was just a tad slower, and Mu Xiaocheng wouldve been called Qi Xiaocheng! Arent you worried that Ill be sad about what you said? Dont you know that my heart is very fragile?" Qi Leis expression was calm despite what he was saying, and Xi Xiaye somehow noticed a subtle darkened expression on his face. Xi Xiaye went silent as she was not sure what reply she should give. "Dont feel pressured. I just feel the need to tell you that I like you. I dont expect you to reciprocate the feelings. I do feel envious about Mu Yuchen at times. Hes just too lucky. How is he the one who got you in the end?" Qi Leis tone became heavy as he continued, "Xiaye, youre a great woman. At the very least, youre the best among the ones I know although we share similar life experiences. Fate doesnt want us to be together, but Im sure wed be happy if we were together." "Youll find someone better," Xi Xiaye closed her eyes and said. "Im just ranting over here, so pay me no mind. Dont say something like that to me again. Its cruel to say stuff like that to a man who was fond of you before. Im pretty open-minded. I genuinely wish the best for Mu Yuchen and you. If you could find Mu Yuchen for yourself, I believe I can find a woman who suits me too." Qi Lei found Xi Xiayes awkwardness funny. Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and looked at him. "Then, cant you just keep the feelings inside your heart and not blurt it out? Sometimes, pointing out the elephant in the room isnt the best idea, dont you think?" "You might tell Mu Yuchen I told you so that hell feel a sense of urgency and cherish you better. Im doing an extremely generous move right now. How could you criticize me instead of showing gratitude, you heartless woman?!" Qi Lei casually touched his nose as he looked at Xi Xiaye. Only he could do this, bending logic and twisting words in his favor. "Its a shame that youre not doing sales or marketing. You can consider coming over to Fuhuas marketing department." "Go and get Mu Yuchen. Hell definitely say yes. Its about time now. Ill have to go and take a look later. Remember to tell Mu Yuchen to be careful of Qi Feng. I sense that Qi Feng is a littleIm feeling uneasy, so just be on alert"
