Chapter 335 Really Let It Go

Rong Qingyun quickly finished drawing the pattern. His brush moved quickly and the lines were constructed in several steps, making the picture come alive.

Before Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing had time to express their admiration, Rong Qingyun received a call.

"Is it here? Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go get it right away."

Ning Xi asked: "Teacher Rong, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, my package is at the store at the entrance of the community. I'll go down and get it."

"I'll go for you." Ning Xi stood up immediately.

Rong Qingyun quickly pushed her down: "You've just been blown by the wind, so don't go down again. Sit here and drink some tea, and think with Huai Jing about what else can be modified for me. I can go by myself."

After Rong Qingyun left, only Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing were left in the room. The fresh and pleasant scent of jasmine could not dispel the subtle awkward atmosphere.

Ning Xi picked up the pattern drawn by Rong Qingyun and began to think about the color matching.

The base color is still green, and the lotus petals are still bright pink. She picked up a few fabric samples and compared them with the patterns.

Gu Huaijing picked up a piece of lighter honey-colored fabric and said, "In the sun, the petals of the lotus are lighter than usual."

Ning Xi thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said seemed to make sense, so she took it and gestured carefully and found that it was indeed true.

She knew that Gu Huaijing had always had a good taste in fashion, but she had never thought of asking him for help in her creation. If it weren't for Rong Qingyun's face, they wouldn't be sitting in this room together.

Ning Xi couldn't help but feel a little more delighted after discovering the details that she had overlooked before, and said casually: "You are still concerned about Teacher Rong's affairs."

Gu Huaijing was slightly startled when he heard this.

What this meant seemed to be that he thought he came here simply to help Rong Qingyun?

Although this was indeed the excuse he used.

But when Ning Xi really thought so, he couldn't help but feel complicated emotions rising in his heart.

After a moment, he said, "What if I say it's not because of this?"

This was a bit incoherent, Ning Xi felt a little confused: "What is not?"

It can't be that he doesn't care about Teacher Rong.

Gu Huaijing made eye contact with her and said seriously, "I didn't come here to help just for Aunt Rong."

Ning Xi's hand holding the fabric paused before she reacted.

She slightly shifted her gaze and said softly, "... Mr. Gu, there aren't so many ifs in the world."

Seeing that she seemed to have returned to her businesslike attitude, Gu Huaijing was moved and said directly: "I came here for you, Ning Xi."

Ning Xi gently put down the cloth in her hand.

"We are just partners, you don't have to do this."

"I told you the reason last time... Can't you see? I'm pursuing you."

Gu Huaijing's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm.

At this point, the window paper was not just pierced, but directly opened.

Ning Xi didn't intend to avoid it again and again. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Gu Huaijing again.

It's better to talk about it now to avoid any unnecessary complications in the subsequent cooperation.

"Then I'll tell you clearly that I don't accept it."

Gu Huaijing's heart was shocked.

"why?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Ning Xi's eyes, and it was unclear whether she was mocking her previous infatuation or mocking Gu Huaijing's change.

"Because when we were together, you acted like you hated me, didn't you? If you were treated like that, would you still be able to act like nothing happened?"

Gu Huaijing quickly said: "I misunderstood you at that time."

Ning Xi recalled the past, and there was a pain in her heart that could not be ignored, but her tone was calm, "Gu Huaijing, maybe you don't like me, but you are just unwilling to accept it. Just like your unfinished project that was taken away, you are unwilling to give it to others like this."

"But I am not an object that you can summon and dismiss at will. Do you understand?"

Gu Huaijing couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Obviously, he didn't expect Ning Xi to say that.

So this is what she thought, and that's why she repeatedly rejected his kindness?

"Ning Xi, my feelings towards you are definitely not just a simple reluctance." Gu Huaijing thought of Rong Qingyun's encouragement and decided to speak slowly, "At first, I did misunderstand you because of Shen Yunyan. But later, as I got along with you, I slowly discovered that you are not the same as I imagined."

"Of course, it's understandable that you don't accept me now. After all, I was the one who let you down first. I just hope you can give me a chance to make amends and let me slowly pay for my past mistakes."

Ning Xi met his eyes and met his sincere gaze. She was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to say.

Rong Qingyun’s advice is still ringing in my ears: Explain your situation clearly so that she can understand you better.

Gu Huaijing continued, "I've never been in a serious relationship, and I don't know how to like someone. So for what I did before... I'm sorry."

His usually icy face even showed a hint of shyness, which almost made people think they were seeing things.

Ning Xi had loved Gu Huaijing and also resented Gu Huaijing, but when she heard his apology now, she could no longer remember the feeling of being offended and angry at that time.

Suddenly I felt a strong sense of tiredness.

This is endless, when will it end? After all, she and Gu Group will have a lot of cooperation in the future.

She remained silent for a moment and said, "I believe what you said."

Gu Huaijing's eyes lit up. He usually didn't show his emotions on his face, so it was rare for him to show such obvious joy.

"So, you're willing to give me a chance, right?"

"No." Ning Xi sighed softly, "I accept your apology. After all, we are partners now. We will meet again in the future. Let the past be the past. But I really don't have any feelings for you anymore."

"I used to like you, even more than I liked myself, and I could endure any hardship. Now that I think about it, even without Shen Yunyan, our personalities are not suitable. Rather than being lovers, maybe it would be better for us to be friends like we are now."

When talking about those sad things, Ning Xi's tone was flat, as if it was insignificant, just like talking about the weather.

Gu Huaijing's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he stood there in a daze.

If she had some resentment and anger, she could vent it on him, but she was so calm and nonchalant now.

It's like I've really let go of everything.

Gu Huaijing said: "But I..."

"It's enough like it is now, isn't it?" Ning Xi interrupted him unnoticeably, "Let's not worry about those things anymore and just look forward."

Her reaction was completely beyond Gu Huaijing's expectations. He couldn't refuse outright, so he had to wait until he got back to ask Rong Qingyun.

Gu Huaijing concealed the complexity in his eyes and took the lead in extending his hand to Ning Xi: "...Okay."

Ning Xi also showed a sincere smile, as if relieved, and reached out to shake his hand gently.

This is the best ending for them.
