There was only the last coin left. When he was about to throw it away, Gu Mingxi took it directly and said, "You reminded me of something!"

Huo Linmo looked at her and listened attentively.

"Sincerity leads to wisdom." Gu Mingxi spit out four words and threw the coin into the fountain. The coin fell into the water with a clang, and ripples spread out in circles.

The coin is - heads.

Huo Linmo's eyes froze, and he looked at the coins in the fountain with incredible eyes. He was really seeing a ghost.

Gu Mingxi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and seemed to make a wish seriously.

"What wish do you wish for?" Huo Linmo stared at her beautiful profile, wondering if the wish she made was related to the person named Long?

Gu Mingxi looked at him and shook his head: "You can't say it, it won't work if you say it."

"Tch!" Huo Linmo snorted disdainfully, "I don't really want to know what you promised, but I just asked casually!"

Before Gu Mingxi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Huo Linmo said she didn't want to know, but she couldn't help but be curious in her heart, and quickly followed her, "What wish did you make? Is it related to me?"

"Don't you want to know?"

"Ask...if it has something to do with me, I can reluctantly make a promise to you!"

Gu Mingxi stopped walking, glanced at the fountain behind him, and said lightly, "The prerequisite is that you can throw it to the front."

"...You!" Huo Linmo was so angry that he was obviously mocking him for not being able to face it!

Damn it!

At noon, Gu Mingxi invited him to have a meal at the Star Picking Hall, giving him face as the president of Country E.

Huo Linmo was sitting on a chair with a transparent glass window at his fingertips. He had a panoramic view of the scenery of the capital. He was not in the mood to appreciate it. He looked at Gu Mingxi and asked, "Is it so good to be with him? Will he make you happy?

?”

Gu Mingxi took a sip of water and looked at the scenery outside the window without looking at him, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

"Why doesn't it matter!" Huo Linmo tugged at his lips and murmured in a low voice, "If he can't make you happy, I can take you back to Country E and I can make you happy!"

"What did you say?"

"No!" Huo Linmo frowned, "Little illiterate, if I weren't your brother... would I still have a chance?"

Gu Mingxi said nothing, looking at him with clear black and white pupils, and pursed her lips tightly. She understood the meaning of Huo Linmo's words, but she didn't want to answer.

She thought she had made it very clear in e-country.

"I can't erase my past, but at least I'm willing to change it for you and keep myself clean in the future. I'll be good to you and make you happy..." Huo Linmo licked his lips as he pondered these words in his heart.

For a long time, even though he had been ruthlessly rejected by her several times, and the man's self-esteem had been damaged to the point of being reduced to nothing, he still couldn't give up.

When he thought about his future life without her, he became very irritable. He missed her very much when he couldn't see her.

I want to become better and more outstanding for her...

He has never sacrificed or changed like this for a woman.

"...Little illiterate person, can you..."

"I love him."

Gu Mingxi suddenly interrupted him.

"What?" Huo Linmo's expression was dull and he didn't react for a moment.

Gu Mingxi looked indifferent, looked at him without any hesitation, and answered openly, "The person I love is Long Pei, and I will never like anyone else except him in this life."

It’s not that you fall in love with someone else, it’s that you can’t even like them anymore.

The person she loves is Long Pei, so no matter what Huo Linmo is hers, she can't give him any affection.

She was not someone who liked to talk about love. Even in front of Long Pei, she had never said it a few times. Now she said it in front of Huo Linmo because she hoped that he would stop deceiving himself with impossible fantasies.

.

If a person's heart is not with you, you can't force it.

The light in the phoenix's eyes gradually dimmed until it was completely dark, and it seemed that no light or hope could be seen.

"Is he that good?" Huo Linmo bit his lip, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Gu Mingxi didn't answer. He avoided Huo Linmo's sharp gaze and looked outside.

In the eyes of others, Long Pei is noble, elegant, and perfect. In her eyes, Long Pei is arrogant, has a bad temper, is cold, and always dominates himself...

But it was such a person who lived in her heart, and no one could replace him.

Perhaps, loving someone is not just about loving their advantages, but also loving them together with their shortcomings.

This is love.

How many times has she been silent and rejected herself?

I know in my heart that it's impossible, but I still don't give up. Time and time again, I just want her to discover my goodness, and desperately want to get close to her, but in the end I am always isolated from the world by her.

Huo Linmo, who was surrounded by an iron-faced man, felt very hurt at the moment. He stood up and left the Star Reaching Hall alone without saying a word.

Gu Mingxi didn't chase him out. Some things still needed time to settle down.

Huo Linmo was not wrong, and neither was he. What was wrong was just that they met too late.

Destined but not destined.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Long Pei returned to the office after the meeting. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Mingxi sitting on the sofa, holding his chin in his hand and taking a nap. His eyebrows furrowed.

Ban Xia, who was following next to her, lowered her voice and said, "Madam has been here for three hours, and she didn't want me to disturb your meeting."

Long Pei said nothing and waved his hand for her to go out.

Lu Banxia leaned over and gently closed the door when leaving.

Long Pei walked directly to her. As soon as the documents were placed on the coffee table, Gu Mingxi woke up and said, "The meeting is over."

"Well." He sat down next to her, "Remember to let me know next time you come over. It's okay." It's just delaying the meeting.

Gu Mingxi habitually likes to rub his eyes with his hands when he opens them, "It doesn't matter, I'm fine anyway, I just came here when I wanted to."

Long Pei grabbed her hand before it reached her eyes. Apparently her unintentional words made him feel happy. He kissed the corners of her eyes with his lips, "Miss me?"

Gu Mingxi was immediately awakened by these three words and shook his head instinctively.

Miss him?

How is that possible!

I just wanted to come see him, so...well, I seem to really miss him.

He looked secretly embarrassed.

A smile appeared in the corner of Long Pei's eyes, and he pinched her cheek with his fingers. His wife was so thin-skinned, what should she do?

"——Xiao Xi?"

"Huh?" She lowered her head and didn't look at him.

"I miss you." The magnetic voice was low, sexy and charming.

"Huh?" Gu Mingxi raised her head for a moment and ran into his shining eyes, forgetting to move away, as if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.

His low voice lingered in my ears like a curse——

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

His cheeks felt secretly hot, he lowered his eyes and blinked, letting out a low "Oh".

Long Pei frowned, obviously not satisfied with her answer, and continued to pinch her cheeks with his fingers. She was thin-skinned, so he had to take the initiative.

"Did you miss me?"

"I don't know." Gu Mingxi wouldn't tell him. She thought about it, so she came over as soon as her head got hot and sat here for three hours.

"You really didn't think about it?" Long Pei's voice was deep and lifeless. He just gradually came closer to her, and his cool breath sprayed on her neck.

"I really don't know." He continued not to admit it.

"Lie." His lips were already close to her ear, and the tip of his tongue passed over her ear extremely erotically, "Little liar!"

Gu Mingxi's ears suddenly seemed to be filled with blood, and she was so charming that she wanted to stand up and avoid him, but his big hands hugged her, and she was unable to move.

"Let me go."

"Tell me, do you miss me?" He tightened his big palms and hugged her tightly. When the sound fell, his lips had already taken her entire exquisite ear into his mouth, and blew all the hot air into her ears.

Gu Mingxi's body trembled involuntarily as he teased her like this. Her ears were itchy and she couldn't avoid him. She pushed him helplessly, "Don't... someone will come in at any time."
