Xu Shengxia: "...!"
"Qi Xiaoqi." The moment Qi Xiaoqi's lips were about to touch hers, Xu Shengxia instinctively turned her head. She thrust her small hand out, planting it firmly on his chest to stop him, and called out his name.
Rejected, a look of hurt filled Qi Xiaoqi's eyes.
"Why… Xiaxia, don't you like me anymore?"
Xu Shengxia looked at him from point-blank range, carefully choosing her words.
"Qi Xiaoqi, whether I like you or not isn't the point anymore. Regardless of whether we ever officially broke up, we both implicitly acknowledged that it was over. Now, I no longer have any romantic feelings for you. I only want a partnership with you—or an employer-employee relationship. Do you understand?"
"But I can't. I still love you—what am I supposed to do? You can just decide you don't love me anymore, just leave me behind like that. What about me? I'm the one who actually fell in love."
