Beloved Enemy

Chapter 67

GuQingPei rubbed his face, looking tiredly at YuanLiJiang, his voice lowered, "Chairman Yuan, I need some time, I'll handle this well."

YuanLiJiang was silent for a long time before he stood up and walked toward the door. With his hand on the door handle, his body paused and his voice somber, "The time you have is not as much as you think. You make the best of it."

YuanLiJiang opened the door and walked out. GuQingPei heard YuanYang's hurried footsteps rushing to him. He turned to look at him, seeing his panic and worried expression, thinking in his heart, (he is) still a child.

He had really become more immature as he aged(T/N). For a child, he threw away his brilliant future that he had painstakingly planned out for himself. To find another path, how easy would it be?

T/N: This is saying that he has gone backward in his life as he got older. Instead of being with someone his age who is more mature and think like he does, he is with YuanYang, whom is just like a young child.

GuQingPei can't help but ask himself, Is this worth it? Where is the worth?

YuanYang came over, "What did my dad say to you?"

GuQingPei looked at him expressionlessly, "Think with your brain, what do you think he will say."

YuanYang opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"You already knew but didn't tell me...letting this caught me by surprise, do you think this is fun?"

YuanYang slightly lowered his head.

"How did Chairman Yuan find out?" GuQingPei felt like a machine, saying things without thinking. Every word he spoke came from his subconscious mind.

"He... saw our text messages." When YuanYang thought of himself concealing something else that was even more detrimental from GuQingPei, he felt his neck weighing a ton, making it excruciatingly difficult for him to lift his head.

GuQingPei nodded and dejectedly look at the bookshelf in front of him, "Go back to your own home. I want to be alone tonight."

YuanYang instantly grabbed his hand, his voice trembling, "Don't think of separating from me."

GuQingPei moved his gaze to him and forcefully smiled, "YuanYang, there is nothing to think about. I'll have to resign after the year ends. We will be separated anyway."

"You know what I mean by separation." YuanYang tightly clutched his arm, "I know my dad won't agree, but I..."

GuQingPei removed his hand and made a stop gesture. He looked at YuanYang and coarsely muttered, "YuanYang, aren't we just fuck buddies? Why bother to go against Chairman Yuan? Actually, what happened today would have happened sooner or later. Whether it happened earlier or later, it's all going to be the same."

YuanYang instantly felt a stabbing pain in his heart, "So you must be very happy? That you can finally dump me?"

GuQingPei closed his eyes, "I'm not dumping you. It's just time for us to end this."

He had always been a selfish person. How could he offend YuanLiJiang for someone that is just a fuck buddy? He can't afford to offend him. His career, his status, and everything that he had worked hard for in Beijing for more than ten years might not amount to anything in YuanLiJiang's eyes, but it is everything to him. Why should he take this risk for YuanYang? Who the heck is YuanYang? Why would he do something so stupid?

What's more, didn't YuanYang just consider him to be his fuck buddy?

YuanYang gritted his teeth, "End this? GuQingPei, you've been looking forward to this day? Right?"
