C16 This Is Not a Good Sign

Gu Yuling looked at him in surprise when she heard him. However, she only found a smile in the man's eyes. Her heart suddenly tightened and she instinctively became alert.

This was not a good sign.

"Since that is the case, I will go back to work first." Gu Yuling quickly turned her head and almost wanted to run away.

Sheng Jingxun's eyes never moved away from her. "Don't go back for now. I am afraid they still have a big problem with you. Why don't you rest for a few days and wait for the situation to calm down before you come back?"

The probing tone in his voice made Gu Yuling even think that she had changed a boss.

She turned her eyes and smiled. A sharp mocking smile appeared on her lips as she mocked herself, "It's alright. My skin is thick!"

Walking out of the office, Gu Yuling's expression only turned sunny. She maintained a proper smile and greeted everyone who passed by. Since Gu Ranjia was so impatient, then let the storm come even more fiercely.

Her eyes swept across the new spring goods in the cupboard and the smile on her face became deeper and deeper.

However, she had just returned to the company and experienced this kind of thing. She was physically and mentally exhausted.

Standing at the entrance of the design department, Gu Yuling lightly pursed her lips and finally quietly left. Why did she have to go through such a leisurely holiday?

When she returned to her small apartment, Gu Yuling felt relieved. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she was a little unfamiliar.

Compared to before, this kind of her seemed to be even more angry. Her eyes were no longer lifeless but were replaced by liveliness. Hatred was hidden in her heart but overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Gu Yuling was shocked. She quickly looked away and changed the direction of the make-up mirror.

She pulled open the drawer and there was a thick stack of drafts inside. They were all her hard work. She looked at them one by one and every past appeared in her mind. She had never felt that she remembered so many things.

Rubbing the mottled marks, she smiled bitterly. Her eyes were filled with endless sadness. Gu Ranjia thought that this would cause her to lose her reputation, but she did not know that there was a bigger trap waiting for her.

You forced me to do this. Gu Yuling put the drafts into the drawer and said softly.

"Knock, knock, knock -"

The sudden knock on the door pulled her out of her memories. Gu Yuling looked at the door with a confused look, "Why are you here?"

Jiaang Li stood at the door with a smile on his face. He looked relaxed. "I heard that you moved out, which made my heart ache. Quickly come and see you. Do you live in this kind of place?"

As he spoke, he slowly walked in. He looked at the furnishings in the apartment with an inquisitive look and could not help but advise, "I have an empty villa. Do you want to move over?"

Gu Yuling looked up and saw the clear disdain in his eyes.

"No need," she answered in a muffled voice. Her impatience was written all over her face. "How did you find this place?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she answered by herself, "Oh, I forgot. You are so close to Gu Ranjia. She must have told you again. What are you doing here? You want to see me make a fool of myself? That really disappoints you. I'm doing very well."

Her glib tongue left Jiaang Li at a loss for what to do.

His face stiffened and he paused for a moment before smiling. "I came today to explain this matter to you. I went to find Gu Ranjia only to ask about your whereabouts. There's absolutely nothing else."

The aura of a spoiled brat on Jiaang Li's body was very heavy. No matter what he said, there was always a kind of sloppiness.

And this happened to be what Gu Yuling hated the most after reincarnating.

She really did not understand why she was so obsessed with Jiaang Li in her previous life. As expected, when people lack love, they do not choose food. She could not help but laugh coldly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiaang Li was holding her handicrafts and carefully looking at them. His very familiar appearance made Gu Yuling feel nauseous. She was thinking about how to let Jiaang Li leave.

"You don't have to explain to me. We have nothing to do with each other. We don't have any right now, and we won't have any in the future. Please leave, or I can call the police." Gu Yuling's face was gloomy. She sat on the stool and did not move.

However, Jiaang Li seemed to ignore her words.

He minded his own business and walked around Gu Yuling's apartment. The disdain on his face did not decrease at all. They looked at each other and he smiled until his eyes narrowed. "Come with me. This kind of place is not suitable for you."

His tone was firm and unquestionable. At first, he could feel a warmth. Gu Yuling swallowed her saliva and her nails deeply embedded into the meat.

Seeing that she did not speak, Jiaang Li simply walked in front of her. He lifted her chin with one hand and forced her to look at him. "I know you are still angry with me, but as long as you give me a chance... I will definitely prove my feelings to you! "

Just as Jiaang Li's finger touched her chin, Gu Yuling could not help but feel a tingling sensation on her scalp. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted. She glared at him and then slapped his hand away.

"You..."

Gu Yuling stood up and said word by word, "Get lost in front of me!"

The flame in his eyes suddenly made Jiaang Li's heart tremble. For some reason, he felt that the woman in front of him was no longer Gu Yuling.

At least she was not the Gu Yuling he knew.

A trace of gloominess flashed across his face. Jiaang Li gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile, "Alright, then I'll leave first. I'll come and find you when you're in a better mood."

"Are you going to see me off?"

Gu Yuling's good mood disappeared after Jiaang Li's teasing. After checking the locked door again and again, she closed the curtains and covered herself in the blanket. She decided to sleep until the sky turned dark.

She didn't care about his previous life or his current life, whether he was a malicious sister or a scheming boyfriend. She just wanted to return to her own world and enjoy that peace.

The room was dark. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind, but she couldn't sleep for a long time.

After tossing and turning for an unknown amount of time, she slowly entered the dream and one of her hands hung by the bed.

The dream came again.

On the small single bed, Gu Yuling's forehead was covered in sweat and her mouth was mumbling something. She rolled left and right as if she was suffering inhumane torture.

In the dream, she was running and breathing heavily. However, she still felt that the air was stuffy and could not flow. After a while, under the pressure of the air, her tears rolled down the corner of her eyes.

The night gradually deepened.

Pain always quietly descended in the darkness, like an uninvited guest.

The next morning, Gu Yuling suddenly opened her eyes. Sweat dried up on her face. She breathed in the fresh air, and her chest also rose and fell violently.

As the morning light poured down, her violently beating heart slowly calmed down.

The dream and reality intersected. Gu Yuling stared with her eyes wide open and laid down like a puppet. She did not move but the pain spread to every part of her body.

Two tears rolled down, and she finally felt relieved.

Gu Yuling sniffed. The morning was always covered by a cool breeze. She lifted the blanket and bounced off the bed.

There were more important things to do today.
