"Uh." Yang Feilong's old face reddened. He had made an inappropriate remark, and it was discovered by his subordinate. He felt so ashamed, but he quickly regained his composure. After all, how could one manage subordinates without a thick skin?
Seeing Li Xiya driving nearby, he said lightly, "What are you doing here?"
"I rented a villa nearby and I didn't expect to end up living in the same neighborhood as you, boss." Li Xiya smiled brightly.
"Ahem, be mindful of what you say, or people might misunderstand. We live in the same community, not together," Yang Feilong said righteously.
Li Xiya pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with Yang Feilong's fussiness. "Boss, you're not going to the company today. If you were, I'd give you a ride."
"I'm not going," Yang Feilong waved his hand.
Li Xiya: "..."
"Then you have to come to my birthday party! You promised me before!" Li Xiya asked helplessly.
"You mentioned this before, I forgot to ask. When is your birthday party?" Yang Feilong asked. "If it's in a few days, I might not have time."
"Tonight," Li Xiya asked.
"Tonight? Alright, I'll go then," Yang Feilong thought for a moment and said. He really had nothing to do today, so he could go tonight. "By the way, have you told Ms. Li?"
"I've told her, but she's not willing to go," Li Xiya said.
"Is that so? Then let me know the location once it's set, and I'll come over," Yang Feilong said.
"Okay, you don't need to buy any gifts, just your presence is enough!" A hint of joy flashed across Li Xiya's face. She hadn't actually told Li Yufei that Yang Feilong was going. Otherwise, Li Yufei might have really gone. She had only casually invited her, and Li Yufei had politely refused.
"Alright," Yang Feilong smiled. If she really didn't want a gift, who knew what she would think of him as her boss.
Afterward, Li Xiya bid farewell to Yang Feilong and drove away. Yang Feilong watched her leave, lost in thought.
"She's not interested in me, is she? It's not that close to the company," Yang Feilong thought to himself. "She chose to rent an apartment in the same neighborhood where I bought a villa!"
Of course, this thought flashed and he didn't dwell on it. Although this woman was incredibly beautiful, and a few of his women were slightly inferior to her in terms of looks and temperament, even though his women were all T1 level, there were still differences within the T1 level.
After all, anything above ninety points was considered T1, and there was a clear difference between 91 and 99 points, even though both were in the same category.
...
As soon as Yang Feilong stepped out of the villa, he received a phone call.
It was Ouyang Yixue's call.
Over the past month, Ouyang Yixue had called Yang Feilong many times, and he had always answered, but he never called her proactively, which made Ouyang Yixue very resentful.
But Yang Feilong couldn't help it. He had originally thought he was just helping out, but who knew that the Ouyang family would take it seriously later!
This left Yang Feilong in a bind.
After all, he had no romantic intentions towards Ouyang Yixue. He had only pretended to be her boyfriend to help her escape her predicament.
But if pretending to be her boyfriend meant marrying her, Yang Feilong would naturally want to back out.
Of course, he would still answer Ouyang Yixue's calls. Regardless, he had seen her body. Although it was for treatment, it was the first time he had seen a girl naked after he became an adult. Yang Feilong didn't want to marry her, but he couldn't bring himself to push her away.
Ouyang Yixue had come to Blue Sea City a few days ago and invited Yang Feilong to meet up. Yang Feilong had refused, citing he was busy. Today, with nothing to do, she invited him again. After some thought, he agreed. He wanted to sit down with her and clarify the matter of pretending to be her boyfriend, so they could put an end to it.
Coffee shop.
Yang Feilong and Ouyang Yixue sat facing each other.
Although coffee had been ordered, neither of them drank it.
Ouyang Yixue looked at Yang Feilong, her eyes filled with resentment. "Feilong, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Looking at Ouyang Yixue's expression, Yang Feilong blinked, somewhat confused. Wasn't she supposed to call him "Teacher Yang"? And your tone, why does it feel like I abandoned you?
"Well, let's clarify our relationship first. What is our relationship?" Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"Lovers!" Ouyang Yixue said after thinking seriously.
Yang Feilong gave a wry smile. "That was a pretense."
"But I took it seriously, and my family took it seriously too!" Ouyang Yixue looked at Yang Feilong pitifully and said.
"..." Yang Feilong was choked and couldn't help but explain, "But at the beginning, you asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend to deal with your family, to prevent them from arranging a marriage for you. How did it become real?"
"But my body has been seen and touched by you, and you've had my first kiss. My family has also taken it seriously. What should I do?" Ouyang Yixue said aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes.
It was true that her body had been seen. Her first kiss?
Yang Feilong recalled that night when Ouyang Yixue had kissed him and then run away.
Was this all his fault?
For the former, he was treating her illness. For the latter, wasn't he also a 'victim'?
However, reasoning with a girl was generally futile, especially a young girl like her. Of course, Ouyang Yixue was a few months older than Yang Feilong.
But in terms of experience, wisdom, and emotions, she couldn't compare to Yang Feilong.
"Then what do you want?" Yang Feilong sighed.
"Don't abandon me," Ouyang Yixue said, holding Yang Feilong's hand, and nervously added, "Can you still be my boyfriend!"
Yang Feilong wanted to pry Ouyang Yixue's hand open, but she held on tightly. He could naturally break free, but he was worried about hurting her, so he let her hold on.
"I saw your body before because I was treating you," Yang Feilong said. "I'm a doctor, you know that."
"I don't care. Anyway, my body is no longer pure, you can't abandon me," Ouyang Yixue bit her lip, looking at Yang Feilong with teary eyes, and was about to cry.
Yang Feilong: "..."
"You have no idea how much I've missed you these past few days, but you never called me or sent me any messages. Every time I called you, you were either busy or tied up, and you always hung up the phone in a hurry." Ouyang Yixue said, and tears began to fall. Those who saw this scene couldn't help but pout and call Yang Feilong a scumbag.
"Scumbag?" Yang Feilong heard this evaluation and was speechless. You're calling me a scumbag without even knowing what's going on.
However, Ouyang Yixue's resentment gave Yang Feilong a headache. This girl, who seemed so straightforward before!
How did she become like this?
"I was afraid you would get too invested and it would become real," Yang Feilong explained with a wry smile.
"But I've already fallen for you. If you don't want me, I don't think my life will have any meaning. I might as well find a place to end it all," Ouyang Yixue said with red eyes, looking at Yang Feilong. At this moment, her fair cheeks were stained with tears, and her red-rimmed eyes were heartbreaking.
Yang Feilong was also shocked. How did it escalate to the point where her life would have no meaning if he didn't want her?
Now, Yang Feilong was a little flustered.
If word got out that he had abandoned Ouyang Yixue and she had committed suicide, wouldn't he become a public enemy? Although the truth wasn't like that, he never assumed the worst of people's imaginations.
"Uh, Yixue, don't be rash!" Yang Feilong said, looking at Ouyang Yixue nervously.
"As long as you don't abandon me, I'll do whatever you say!" Ouyang Yixue's eyes brightened, and she looked at Yang Feilong. But seeing Yang Feilong's bitter smile, her bright eyes dimmed again. "Since you don't want me, then don't bother about me."
"..."
Does it have to be so black and white?
Yang Feilong sighed, and decided to be honest. "You know I have a girlfriend."
"I know."
"And more than one."
"I can imagine, after all, you are so outstanding and handsome."
"Then what do you think?" Yang Feilong spread his hands. "I'm not as good as you think."
"Then break up with them and be with me. I don't mind your past romantic history," Ouyang Yixue said, looking at Yang Feilong, her beautiful big eyes filled with seriousness.
Yang Feilong: "..."
He had expected Ouyang Yixue to say something like, "I don't mind being one of them," but her answer was like this.
This caught Yang Feilong completely off guard!
