Chapter 800: Epilogue (Part 7)

Xiao Fang saw Gu Peng’s eyes light up.

She’s seen a lot of bosses, but this one, whether it’s his physique or aura, plus his looks...

Never mind giving her money, even if she had to pay, she’d be willing.

"Boss, don’t worry. I can do everything others can. I’ll make sure the boss is happy."

As she spoke, she was about to step forward and take Gu Peng’s arm, but Gu Peng immediately stepped back to avoid her.

His eyes looked as if he were seeing trash, "Stay away from me."

He turned his head and gave Hui Zi a cold glance, then walked away directly.

Seeing Gu Peng’s expression, Hui Zi knew his flattery had hit the wrong spot again.

Xiao Fang was still there, feeling wronged, "Brother Hui, what’s the meaning of this boss? He can’t break hearts like this, you have to stand up for me..."

"Get lost! What’s heartbroken? Do you not know what you’re worth? If the boss doesn’t want you, what’s that got to do with me? I haven’t even blamed you yet."

Hui Zi was perplexed, too. Recently, the boss has been in Ancheng County, they see each other every few days, and he has a pretty good grasp of the boss’s temperament.

Normally, a man in his 30s looking for a woman is a natural need, right?

He even mentioned wanting to sleep with his woman before.

Today he came to him saying he wanted to relax, wasn’t that the hint?

Why did he turn his back now?

Gu Peng didn’t bother to argue with Hui Zi’s presumptions and bought some snacks on his way back to his place.

The next morning, even though he woke up early, he didn’t rush to the company.

He leisurely had breakfast at Qin’s Buns Shop before walking to the company.

Today was a weekend, so only the on-duty staff were left at the company.

Gu Peng spotted the Santana downstairs and knowing Lin Chuxia was there, he went straight upstairs.

He saw the door to Lin Chuxia’s office was half-open, and he inexplicably got a little excited.

Had she finally come to her senses, and stopped believing Li Guangyuan’s nonsense?

But her attitude last time was really upsetting. A scumbag threw in a few words, and she banished him to An City. It’s been so many days without even a phone call.

If she’s coming to make peace this time, she has to say more nice things.

Otherwise, if someone sways her again, won’t she feel justified in firing him?

With these thoughts, Gu Peng casually knocked on the door twice, then pushed it open.

"You..."

Just one word came out before he saw the man behind the desk and changed his tune.

"Why is it you?"

Qin Yang lazily sat in the office chair, hands folded, looking at the man in front of him, "Why can’t it be me? Is Assistant Gu very surprised to see me? I noticed when Assistant Gu came in just now, you were eagerly expecting something. Are you expecting Lin Chuxia to be here? But Assistant Gu may be disappointed, Lin Chuxia won’t be seeing you anymore."

Gu Peng narrowed his eyes, "What did you do to her? What did you do with her? How could she not see me?"

"Assistant Gu is mistaken. Anyone might harm her, but I won’t." Qin Yang looked coldly at Gu Peng.

He wanted Lin Chuxia to forget the past, not to be tangled in last life’s affairs.

But after knowing what Gu Peng did to Lin Chuxia, and that after his rebirth, he tried every means to stay around Lin Chuxia, how could Qin Yang pretend nothing happened?

Especially since this man hasn’t hesitated to provoke him since coming to Xiaxia’s side.

Before, on account of Xiaxia, he could overlook it. But after knowing Gu Peng’s intentions, if he didn’t react, he wouldn’t be a man.

Gu Peng placed his hands on the desk, his cold eyes looking at Qin Yang, "What do you mean by this? Qin Yang, I advise you not to be so presumptuous, thinking that just because you are Lin Chuxia’s husband, you can control everything about her? She’s not someone to be manipulated, and as for my relationship with her, it’s not your place to interfere."

Qin Yang sat in the office chair, but his aura was in no way inferior to Gu Peng’s.

He let out a cold laugh, "I should say that to you, Assistant Gu, Mr. Gu. Regardless, I am Xiaxia’s husband, and just that fact allows me to rightfully participate in everything about her, unlike some gutter rats who only know how to sneak around with shady tactics. In the last life, she was schemed against by evil people due to my absence. In this life, with me here, nobody can harm her a bit."

Gu Peng’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, "What did you say?"

And at that moment, Qin Yang stood up, followed by his hard fist.

The punch was fast and fierce, directly aimed at Gu Peng’s head.

"I say you know in your heart, this punch is for Xiaxia."

How could he make decisions for Xiaxia, control her life and death, subject her to the pain of fractures and shattered internal organs?

"This punch is for myself."

From the first moment he saw this man, Qin Yang found him utterly displeasing.

This man even covertly provoked him with implicit words.

If it weren’t for the sake of his wife, he would have thrown this punch long ago.

The first punch caught Gu Peng off guard and landed squarely, but by the second punch, Gu Peng also retaliated without hesitation.

"I’m a gutter rat? If it weren’t for me, how could you have married Lin Chuxia? Don’t think I don’t know, from the start you never intended to treat her well. What right do you have to criticize me? I’ve known her for two lifetimes, I’m the one who understands her best."

......

It’s the weekend, and there’s no one else in the entire building.

The two of them in the office, exchanging punches, each punch hitting solidly.

Trying to vent all their dissatisfaction towards each other.

After an unspecified amount of time, Qin Yang leaned crookedly against the desk, looking down at Gu Peng, who was beaten and couldn’t get up, he wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Don’t think that because you let Xiaxia be reborn, she should be grateful to you. Her rebirth is not your possession. In the last life, she was stripped of the right over her life and death, this life I won’t let anyone dictate her life again. You also don’t need to look for her; she won’t see you."

Gu Peng lay on the floor, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Whether she sees me or not, it’s not up to you."

"Then go ahead and try it."

.......

Gu Peng lay on the floor, his eyes full of unwillingness.

After a long time, he finally managed to crawl up.

He picked up the desk phone and directly dialed a number.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Gu Peng spoke softly, "Chuxia, it’s me..."

Before he could say any more, the phone emitted a series of busy signals.

Unrelenting, he dialed again, this time the call was answered, but immediately hung up.

He continued to dial, only to find that it directly couldn’t go through.

Gu Peng realized that the other party had disconnected the phone line.

With a sarcastic smile that pulled at his lip injury, seemingly indifferent, he let the blood droplets roll down.

How can he be content with such a result?
