Chapter 729: Love Above All Chapter 88

Quan Shaoqing had drunk, and his heart was already suffocating.

Every time he saw Gu Xiaoxi and Bai Yaxuan appearing together, his heart felt like it was being clawed at by countless hands, making it unbearable.

He grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s wrist and slowly closed in on her, asking, "When will you leave him?"

How much longer must he wait?

Whenever they were together, they always avoided talking about love.

He knew that Gu Xiaoxi also had feelings for him in her heart.

Between them stood Bai Yaxuan.

Gu Xiaoxi looked out the window. Bai Yaxuan was getting closer to the car. With Quan Shaoqing lingering here, if the two men met again, she didn’t know what would happen.

"Give me some time," she said.

"How long?" Quan Shaoqing’s nose was almost touching her face. "I just hope you can tell me everything in your heart. I’ll take care of anything you can’t handle!"

"I can handle it myself." Gu Xiaoxi turned her head away, his domineering scent making her cheeks flush red.

So close, she could even feel his fervent heartbeat.

Seeing Bai Yaxuan already at the car door, if Quan Shaoqing didn’t leave now, the two would meet.

At the last moment, Quan Shaoqing lowered his head and gently kissed her face, then he disappeared.

When Bai Yaxuan opened the car door and entered, he smelled a strong whiff of alcohol. Instinctively, he thought it was Gu Xiaoxi who had drunk too much.

"Are you okay? Do you need a glass of water?" He sat next to Gu Xiaoxi and reached for the water stored in the cooler nearby.

There was still an unvanished flush on Gu Xiaoxi’s face. Watching Bai Yaxuan, it seemed he had also drunk quite a bit and was slightly tipsy.

He handed her the water, and she took it in her hands.

Afterward, the car started and began the drive home.

Along the way, she remained silent, and Bai Yaxuan leaned against the seat, continually drinking water, trying to stay sober.

They had been at the banquet for about an hour, and it was only eight o’clock now. The road was somewhat congested, so the car drove very slowly.

The atmosphere in the car was very serene, so serene that it was slightly oppressive.

Both had a lot to say, yet neither spoke first.

Because they both knew, neither would compromise with the other. Some words, once spoken, would only serve to shred the thin relationship between them completely.

"The traffic is too heavy on this road, how about we get off and walk?" Bai Yaxuan suggested.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. Sitting in the car the whole way, especially after having drinks, indeed made her feel the need for some fresh air.

So, they took their coats and hats and got out of the car.

The streets were bustling with activity. She remembered Bai Yaxuan was always busy, and they had never strolled down the street quietly together like this.

In fact, she knew very little about him.

"Why did you suddenly want to get out of the car and walk?" Gu Xiaoxi felt this was out of character for Bai Yaxuan.

Bai Yaxuan put on his cap, pulling the brim low, and blended into the crowd with Gu Xiaoxi.

"If possible, I’d also like to be an ordinary person and stroll through the streets with the person I like. To rise with the sun and rest with its setting," Bai Yaxuan sighed deeply.

If he were an ordinary man, without his busy life, having her by his side... They could eat at food stalls, or walk side by side on crowded streets.

As long as he had her, that was enough.

He suddenly realized that in the face of love, the so-called wealth and power seemed too pale.

An ordinary person, as long as they are accompanied by their beloved, would not lead an ordinary life.

As for someone of his high status like himself, without true love, it was nothing but cold loneliness from up above!
