This time, Zhong Canxi reacted and stepped back in a hurry, fearing to get too close. "Thank you for your affection, but I already have someone I like."
He now regretted it deeply. He thought that he should never have opened the door no matter what.
Qin Xiangxiang caught her breath and looked at him in disbelief. "So you've really fallen for Ji Xiaoli?"
How could that be? Weren't you supposed to hate her?
Zhong Canxi's expression had turned extremely cold. "This is my private matter. Please leave now."
Qin Xiangxiang couldn't believe it. Zhong Canxi, who was so gentle to everyone on the set, was actually so heartless to her.
"Canxi..."
Zhong Canxi frowned impatiently. "Please don't call me that. We're not that familiar."
Qin Xiangxiang's eyes welled up with tears, and a single teardrop even rolled down.
Zhong Canxi frowned slightly. The gentlemanly education he had received since childhood told him that he shouldn't treat a woman like this.
So he softened his tone a bit. "Miss Qin, if you leave now, I'll act as if nothing happened, okay?"
But Qin Xiangxiang refused.
She gritted her teeth and, taking advantage of Zhong Canxi's unpreparedness, suddenly tore off his bathrobe.
Zhong Canxi didn't expect this and tried to get his bathrobe back.
But it was too late.
His upper body was completely exposed under the light, and only a pitiful towel was wrapped around his lower body.
This time, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore.
"Qin Xiangxiang! What on earth are you doing?"
Qin Xiangxiang snatched the towel, untied her belt, and her dress dropped to the ground.
Zhong Canxi was shocked. "Qin Xiangxiang, calm down."
Qin Xiangxiang's eyes were filled with obsession. "I'm very calm. My body is clean. You can use it with confidence."
If her first time was with Zhong Canxi, she would be willing to die.
"I'm begging you. Just this once, and then I'll give up, okay?"
Suddenly, Qin Xiangxiang burst into tears. "I just want this once. I know I'm not good enough for you, but just fulfill this dream of mine, okay?"
But Zhong Canxi coldly pushed her away. "Sorry, I'm not interested in someone I don't like."
Qin Xiangxiang sneered. "Then who are you interested in? That green - tea bitch Ji Xiaoli?"
Zhong Canxi's face turned darker than ever. "You shut up."
Qin Xiangxiang stared straight at him. "I'll ask you one last time. If you take me now, I'll never bother you again."
Her fair skin looked extremely alluring under the light.
But Zhong Canxi didn't even look at her and said with disgust, "I've already said that I refuse. And you're no match for Xiaoli. You're not even worthy of mentioning her."
Qin Xiangxiang's girlish heart was completely shattered at this moment.
She began to hate Ji Xiaoli and Zhong Canxi madly.
If it weren't for Ji Xiaoli, Zhong Canxi would definitely choose her.
"Fine, Zhong Canxi. I'll definitely make you regret it."
Qin Xiangxiang picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on in a hurry.
Zhong Canxi never even glanced at her, as if she were something extremely disgusting.
Qin Xiangxiang dressed faster and faster. After putting on her clothes, she left without looking back.
After going out, she was still the popular young actress.
But her mentality had completely changed.
At this moment, there was only one thing on Qin Xiangxiang's mind.
That was to take revenge on Ji Xiaoli.
She selectively forgot about Ji Xiaoli's help and thought it was just condescending charity.
After this failed attempt to offer herself, Qin Xiangxiang didn't even want to go back to the company.
She directly asked for a week's sick leave and then rested in her small apartment.
Ji Xiaoli was always immersed in work and didn't notice the situation.
She just found it strange that she hadn't seen Qin Xiangxiang for several days, so she went to ask Sister Chun.
Sister Chun immediately replied, "I heard she caught a cold, so I told her to rest in the new apartment bought by the company."
Zhong Canxi beside her couldn't help but snort. "A cold. It'd be better if she never comes back."
Just thinking about how Qin Xiangxiang dared to offer herself even though she knew he had someone in his heart made him feel sick.
Ji Xiaoli rarely saw Zhong Canxi so angry and asked curiously, "What's going on? Did something happen between you two?"
She hadn't heard that they had any disputes.
Zhong Canxi's face turned red and white, and finally he forced a smile. "It's nothing. We're fine."
Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows. "But your expression doesn't seem like it."
Zhong Canxi took a deep breath and said word by word, "Really, nothing happened between us."
How could he possibly tell the person he liked about something like being offered himself?
Ji Xiaoli didn't bother to press him further and turned to look at Sister Chun.
"Sister Chun, do you know where Xiangxiang's apartment is?"
Sister Chun tentatively asked, "General Manager Ji, are you going to visit her in person?"
Ji Xiaoli nodded. "After all, we're roommates. Naturally, I should go and see her when she's sick."
Zhong Canxi subconsciously wanted to stop her, but he had no position to do so.
He could only watch helplessly as Ji Xiaoli made the plan to visit Qin Xiangxiang.
He wanted to accompany Ji Xiaoli, but was immediately rejected.
"I'm going to see a girl. What are you, a big man, going for?"
Only then did Zhong Canxi reluctantly give up.
Ji Xiaoli was concerned about Qin Xiangxiang's illness. Rarely leaving work early, she drove to her apartment.
When she arrived, she first rang the doorbell.
Qin Xiangxiang's listless voice came out. "Who is it?"
Hearing her voice, Ji Xiaoli had a guess.
Presumably, Qin Xiangxiang was quite sick and extremely listless.
"It's me, Ji Xiaoli. Xiangxiang, I've come to see you."
"Xiaoli, it's you."
After hearing this, Qin Xiangxiang's tone was also dull, without the previous intimacy. It took her a while to slowly open the door.
Ji Xiaoli didn't think much of it and only thought it was caused by the illness.
As soon as the door opened and she saw Qin Xiangxiang's pale face, she thought even less about it.
She put down the gifts in her hand and began to ask with concern, "How's your body now? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
Qin Xiangxiang forced a smile. She was still working under Ji Xiaoli, so even if she hated her in her heart, it was not good to show it.
"I'm fine, Xiaoli. Why did you come to see me?"
Ji Xiaoli sighed. "I heard from Sister Chun that you were sick. I was afraid that you were alone at home without anyone to take care of you, so I came to see you."
Qin Xiangxiang lowered her head so as not to expose the hatred in her eyes.
She sneered disdainfully in her heart.
Hypocritical, so hypocritical!
She had been on sick leave for so many days, and now Ji Xiaoli came to see her. It was simply ridiculous.
Ji Xiaoli cared about her for a while. Seeing that Qin Xiangxiang kept her head down and looked listless, she decided to stay with her that night.
Qin Xiangxiang wished she could strangle her, but she couldn't refuse. She could only watch as Ji Xiaoli forcefully made another bed and prepared to take care of her at night.
Ji Xiaoli slept soundly that night, but Qin Xiangxiang couldn't sleep at all.
Thinking that her enemy was sleeping beside her, her hand couldn't help but reach out towards Ji Xiaoli's neck.
As long as she strangled Ji Xiaoli, her revenge would be complete.
Just when Qin Xiangxiang's hatred was at its peak, the cold voice of the system suddenly rang in Ji Xiaoli's ear.
[Player, please note that you are now in danger. Please wake up as soon as possible.]
Ji Xiaoli was sleeping soundly and didn't have the time to pay attention to the system. "Okay, system. Stop bothering me."
In the darkness, Qin Xiangxiang's hand suddenly stopped in mid - air.
