146 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 5, Sweetheart Ex-husband (34)

The lighting in the office is very good.

Normally.

Xue Xue shivered violently as soon as he entered Xi Lang’s office.

The man pulled up the curtains, and only a weak small desk lamp flickered in the entire room. It was obviously a cloudless and fine weather, but here in Xilang, it was like a gray sky before a storm.

Very heavy.

The sound of high heels hitting the marble floor was particularly clear.

Walking a little further inside, Xue Xue smelled smoke.

The woman’s pretty eyebrows furrowed.

She has always had an open attitude towards smoking. For the sake of health, it is best not to smoke, but she will not make a fuss when she smells cigarette smoke and has to put it out, but…

This thick smell was like a layer of dust. It was obvious that the man had been smoking for a long time and the amount should be quite considerable.

As if to echo Xue Xue’s fleeting thought, when his field of vision suddenly widened, the first thing Xue Xue saw was not Xi Lang, who was as still as a statue of David, but an ashtray filled with ash on the table.

The capacity is not small, but it seems to be bursting.

This is a gift from Xue Ning.

In Xue Ning’s memory, Xi Lang smoked but had no addiction to cigarettes. However, when she saw this exquisite-looking ironware, she felt that it matched Xi Lang very well, so she bought it as a gift to the man.

At that time, Xi Lang seemed to have just moved into this office not long ago.

Things were well placed on the table from the beginning, even if the man disliked Xue Ning’s taste more than once and strongly stated that he didn’t need it. What it meant to have such inconsistent words and deeds, Xue Xue understood without even thinking about it.

It’s a pity that Xi Lang in the past didn’t understand.

Even if Xi Lang understands now, it is too late.

“What are you doing here?”

The rough voice brought back Xue Xue’s drifting thoughts, and also made her focus again on the man whose tall figure was hidden in the shadows.

Silang.

“What am I here to do?” Xue Xue took another step forward and stepped on the snow-white plush blanket that Xi Lang once cherished.

That’s a security zone, as anyone who has ever entered Silang’s office knows.

No matter whether you are a subordinate or a customer, whoever steps on you will be unlucky.

Xilang has no mysophobia, but he does not allow anyone to step on his beloved carpet. Even though in the eyes of most people, carpets are used for stepping on the ground, but Xilang is particularly insistent in this regard. Therefore, if there are foreign guests, he usually waits in another office. As for this office, it is more appropriate to say that it is his private resting space than an office.

The furnishings are also very close to the layout of Xilang’s bedroom.

Xue Xue looked around and then looked back.

Xi Lang didn’t react at all.

He didn’t even move his eyes, he just stared blankly ahead. The pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes that used to be sultry were now lifeless, worse than dead branches.

Xue Xue suddenly felt a little lucky that Yang Keqing came to find him.

This man’s endurance seemed to be much worse than he thought.

“Xilang, before you ask me what I am doing, why don’t you first take a look at what you are doing?”

These words finally made Xi Lang’s facial expression change a little.

“Are you so useless? Did you just go into a situation and come out with your head in a state of turmoil?”

“What do you know?”

Xi Lang’s voice was like an old machine. It didn’t sound like a young man in his twenties or thirties, but more like a dying old man, with no trace of anger.

“What do I know? What can I know if you don’t tell me?” Xue Xue almost laughed out of anger.”What else do you want me to know if you don’t tell me?”

“So you don’t have to worry about me.” Xi Lang said, slowly turning around and looking directly at Xue Xue.”I know what I’m doing. Just fall in love with that man. We have nothing to do with each other anyway.”

Although he was mentally prepared, Xue Xue was still startled by Xi Lang’s haggard appearance.

The stubble must have been freshly shaved, since he was going into the company after all, but the two dark circles under his eyes probably couldn’t be covered by even the most concealing cosmetics. The bloodshot eyes floating in the whites of his eyes looked even more terrifying.

Like a vampire who has not seen the light for many years.

Xue Xue, who was still hesitant at first, suddenly made up his mind and threw the bag in his hand directly.

The unprepared move hit Xi Lang, who was unprepared.

“Fuck!”

Silang cursed.

Xue Xue was still angry.

“Xi Lang, you disappoint me so much.” Her voice was sharp as she faced the angry-eyed man.”What’s wrong with you? Why are you like this? Obviously… you shouldn’t be like this.”

The last sentence, sour, astringent and weak, fell in Xi Lang’s ears, and instantly extinguished the man’s rising anger.

“What should I be like?” Xi Lang looked at Xue Xue, with flickering lights and shadows in his eyes.”Xue Xue, tell me, what should I be like?”

Xue Xue was speechless when asked.

Xi Lang’s shoulders suddenly collapsed.

“Anyway, I have nothing to do with you, you…”

“In my heart, you should be dazzling, like the sun. Even if you are far away, you can still feel the warm light.”

Xi Lang suddenly raised his eyes.

The way the woman with bright eyes, white teeth, and sweet smile stared at him made Xi Lang feel as if he had returned to his student days long, long ago.

At that time, Xue Ning always looked at herself like this, with her heart and eyes full of herself and only herself.

But seemingly unknowingly, he lost Xue Ning in the long river of time, never to be found again.
