”You are a witness, so I will naturally guarantee your safety.” Sheng Liang looked at her meaningfully. Seeing her look of disbelief, he added, ”There is someone else in this room, she has heard my words just now. She can testify for you.”

Chen Lina was just wondering, when she saw Qiao Xuan walking out, she said in shock: ”Qiao … Miss Qiao! ”

Qiao Xuan stood there with a pale face, not even raising her head to look at the two people in front of her.

However, Sheng Liang made use of her feelings for him time and time again, but she still chose to give in. She only wanted to keep the beautiful memories between the two of them as much as possible, but he was still trying to challenge her to a fight.

But even though his heart had turned cold, Qiao Xuan did not reveal his lies. She knew, that Li Cheng zhi, was inciting others to expel Sheng Liang from the board of directors.

Chen Lina had done some homework on Qiao Xuan, her predecessor. Thus, she knew that although Qiao Xuan did not have any friends in the company, she had a good reputation. Even some of the competitors were all towards her, saying that she had principles and a bottom line, and that she was being honest.

Therefore, Chen Lina chose to believe her.

After Chen Lina left, the room fell into silence. After a long while, Sheng Liang stood up, walked to Qiao Xuan's side and raised his hand, as if he was going to touch her, but Qiao Xuan suddenly dodged.

Her fingers secretly clenched as her eyes stared at the ground with a trembling voice, ”I admit that I really like you. I can do anything for you, but that does not mean that you can trample on my dignity. This is the last time I'll help you. In the future, you should take care of yourself.

”Qiao Xuan...” Sheng Liang frowned, her lips moved slightly, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.

Qiao Xuan was stunned for a few seconds, then walked out: ”Goodbye.”

She really hoped that she would never see him again.

Qiao Xuan got off the elevator and rushed out of the hotel entrance in one breath. She then started to breathe heavily, she felt like she was suffocating just a moment ago.

Although Sang City was a Nightless City, it was almost winter, and the outside world was unusually cold, so there were very few people on the streets. With the cold wind blowing, Qiao Xuan was trembling all over.

As she walked aimlessly along the street, her mind was filled with a jumble of things. Suddenly, a car roared past her, and she snapped back to reality. She found herself in a strange place.

She was lost.

There was no panic or fear. In fact, she did not even want to go back. She just stayed where she was and sat down on the stairs by the side of the road.

After wrapping up his clothes, Qiao Xuan buried his face in his knees. A burst of sorrow suddenly surged as tears silently rolled down his cheeks.

Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had experienced the taste of love, but before the sweetness could reach her hands, it suddenly turned into poison. The pain was so excruciating that she could only swallow it down.

However, at this moment, she still did not regret her decision from before. Even though her body was covered with wounds, at the very least, she had truly loved him. She did not have any regrets.

Qiao Xuan didn't know how long she sat on the ground, but she felt that her entire body was frozen stiff. Hearing the sound of footsteps running towards her, she raised her head, and saw that it was Qiao Nan.
