C15 Apologize!

Tang Soong couldn't hold back and punched Gu Feixi right in the face. Surprisingly, Gu Feixi didn't dodge. They both had learned Taekwondo together, so if it came down to a real fight, it was hard to say who would come out on top.

"Why aren't you fighting back? Come on, hit me!" Tang Soong shouted at Gu Feixi.

Gu Feixi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Tang Soong. "It's over between me and Mi Qi'an."

"But she's really upset."

"You remember how I was when I was upset."

With that, Gu Feixi went straight into his room, leaving Tang Soong standing there, watching him walk away. Yeah, when Mi Qi'an suddenly left, Gu Feixi didn't eat for a month. Tang Soong had witnessed it all. But now, Mi Qi'an's few tears had caught Tang Soong off guard.

Seeing Gu Feixi return in that state, his butler, George, quickly called for the family doctor.

The next morning, Gu Feixi headed to the office, and Tang Soong came looking for him again. He jumped into the passenger seat of Gu Feixi's car and said, "Let's go. I need to talk to you."

Without a word, Gu Feixi drove off with him.

"You've got a bruise on your lip. If you're upset, take it out on me," Tang Soong said, feeling a bit sorry for his actions the previous day.

Gu Feixi maintained his usual cold demeanor, but in truth, he could never really be angry with Tang Soong, even after getting punched for no reason.

Tang Soong noticed Gu Feixi wasn't speaking, so he continued, "We're having dinner with Qi'an today. You should come too." This was something Tang Soong had promised Mi Qi'an yesterday, so he needed to persuade Gu Feixi.

"I'm not going," Gu Feixi replied coldly, refusing outright.

Tang Soong sighed and looked at Gu Feixi. "Even if we're childhood friends, it's okay to meet up once in a while, right?"

"There's no need," Gu Feixi said.

"We grew up together and have always been close. I'm asking you as a favor."

Tang Soong's words moved Gu Feixi a little, as Tang Soong had never spoken like this before. So, Gu Feixi nodded, agreeing to go.

Tang Soong immediately brightened up, reverting to his usual self, and chuckled, "You scared me. I had to act all pitiful, worried you wouldn't agree. Have you ever seen me so dramatic?"

"I knew you were faking it," Gu Feixi said.

"Well, you agreed, so no backing out now," Tang Soong replied.

Gu Feixi smirked. He knew Tang Soong was putting on an act to ensure he'd attend, but he didn't mind. Tang Soong was the only person who could get Gu Feixi to do something he didn't want to do.

At Gu's Group, Yuen Mo handed a file to Gu Feixi. "Boss, there's a conference call with Director Mo at 10 a.m."

Gu Feixi nodded, then remembered leaving Mo Li alone yesterday and felt a twinge of regret.

The conference call started on time. Mo Li shot a disgruntled look at Gu Feixi but held back any comments for the sake of professionalism.

Gu Feixi could tell Mo Li was irritated, so he spoke up first, "I'm really sorry about yesterday. Something urgent came up."

This conference call wasn't just between the two of them; executives from both Gu's Group and Mo's Group were also present. Everyone watched as Gu Feixi apologized to Mo Li.

Mo Li was a bit surprised. She looked at Gu Feixi, momentarily unsure of what to say, especially with all eyes on them.
