Chapter 523 - From Being Pa.s.sionate To Being Cold, Everything Change In The Blink Of Eyes

Qin Gengxin wasn"t the type of person who talked a lot of nonsense. He didn"t even utter the nonsense of "we don"t fit" or "you"re very good, I"m just not good enough for you".

He just drove the car in silence until they reached in front of the hotel. When he took Xian Guiying back to her room, he only stood outside the door and didn"t enter. Looking at her, he said, "Because I don"t want to hurt you."

Xian Guiying turned to look at him. "Why can other women, but not me?"

"Others are others, you are you."

Xian Guiying considered his explanation too vague. Before she could say anything else, he advised her to rest early. When he closed the door, Qin Gengxin still looked at her with a warm expression.

When Xian Guiying woke up the next day, she found out that Qin Gengxin had flown to England at dawn due to a temporary matter. He left a message to her secretary, who came with her and his subordinates to return to Boston together, but he didn"t say when he would return to the United States.

Then Qin Gengxin suddenly seemed to disappear from her world. He didn"t return for two months, and when Xian Guiying asked about this from his a.s.sistant, he claimed that he knew nothing about his (Qin Gengxin) situation in England.

At this point, if Xian Guiying still didn"t realize that this was his way to avoid her, then she was a fool!

Qin Gengxin had avoided her for two to three months.

Two to three months.

Sometimes when Xian Guiying thought about this, she would wonder what kind of wolf or tiger she was for him to avoid like this.

After Qin Gengxin returned from England, Xian Guiying was more certain that he had indeed deliberately avoided her. It was very clear that he rejected her.

When the news of his return reached her ears and when he didn"t come to look for her, Xian Guiying decided to throw herself completely into Xian Enterprise and tried her best to forget it all.

Why bother a man who tried every means to avoid her?

They had been close for years, but in the end, because she preferred love between men and women, he distanced himself from her.

Only then did Xian Guiying realized that in all her years of being by Qin Gengxin"s side, she had never truly seen through him.

She could only see his surface, only some partial knowledge of him, but she had never seen his inner self because he had no intention of letting her see through him.

Sometimes, a person"s feelings can really be like that. From being pa.s.sionate to being cold, Qin Gengxin had changed from being the closest companion to being the most familiar stranger in the blink of an eye.

In fact, he rarely showed up at any important meetings or occasions where Qin Corporation and Xian Enterprise had. He only sent a manager or secretary to deal with it. Qin Gengxin, who has stood by her side ever since had disappeared.

They had never gotten to know each other too much, and it was inevitable that they would meet on some occasions. Xian Guiying would just look at him quietly and when Qin Gengxin noticed it, he would smile back at her and nod. The gentleness in his eyes carrying the politeness of estrangement.

"I heard that President Xian is already 25 years old and hasn"t had a boyfriend in years. Say, does she not like men?"

The flush valve on the washroom in the CEO"s office suddenly broke. Xian Guiying went to the employee"s washroom on the next floor at noon. However, just as she was about to enter the washroom, she heard voices coming from inside.

"It seems so. Have you noticed Vice President Wei? Vice President Wei has always been kind to President Xian and everything he does is always based on her. From the look of it, Vice President Wei seemed to like her, but President Xian has always pretending to be blind."

"Keep your voice down, don"t talk nonsense! In recent years, didn"t President Xian always have contact with the CEO of Qin Corporation? However, I don"t know what"s going on these past few months. President Xian and President Qin rarely interact, and they don"t stand together on many occasions. Do you guys think there"s something wrong with this?"

"Could it be that President Xian and President Qin had a secret romance a few years ago and they"re breaking up now?"

"What a secret romance? Almost everyone in the American business community knows that their relationship is not ordinary, but they always address each other as friends. They certainly never seemed to be so intimate, but who knows whether President Xian and President Qin had an affair behind the closed door?"

"Did they really break up? I saw President Qin go to Las Vegas last week and he"s bringing back a beautiful woman. It"s said that she is the niece of Gambling King in Las Vegas and also a rather famous s.e.xy model."

"Really?"

"How could it be fake? That"s what I saw on the cover of the magazine! President Qin is getting more intimate with many women this year. I wonder if President Xian has ever heard of them."

"President Xian is truly pitiful."

"On the other hand, maybe we"re not right. I think President Qin and President Xian might only be together on the surface, but they seem to be pretty casual in private. Also, President Qin likes pretty and spicy beauties, he might not really like President Xian."

"How beautiful is our President Xian? Last year, didn"t those elites secretly give her the t.i.tle of the number one cold beauty in Boston? I only saw her smile a few times over the years, and that"s when she was on President Qin"s side. In these few months, I noticed that her personality was getting colder. The day before yesterday, I went to send the files to President Xian, I almost froze to death by the cold atmosphere inside the room. She didn"t even answer me as if she didn"t see me. I put the files on her desk and about to leave when she suddenly stopped me and asked me with a serious expression. I wonder if she is really a woman. With the previous President, he was very kind to his subordinates who did not make mistakes."

"You can be considered as a senior in the company, so stop complaining. President Xian has that kind of personality."

"Tch."

"It was precisely this kind of character that caused her to break up with President Qin, right? It was all in vain for our Vice-President Wei to be fascinated with her. She acted as if she couldn"t see it!"

"Why do I feel your words are so sour? Tell the truth, are you secretly in love with Vice President Wei? That"s why these sorts of envy, jealousy, and hatred appeared when you talked about her?"

"I... I didn"t…"

"h.e.l.lo, President Xian!" At this point, a female a.s.sistant entered through the door. The a.s.sistant was unaware of the situation in the washroom. She just greeted Xian Guiying with a smile when she saw her standing in front of the door.

The two women inside who were wearing makeup and whispering in the mirror immediately turned pale. When Xian Guiying entered, they turned around and smiled at her embarra.s.sedly. "President Xian.. Why did you come to this floor?"

Xian Guiying gave them a bland look. It"s hard to know if she"s angry or not, but she glanced at the cosmetics on the marble counter and said, "The flush valve in my bathroom is broken."

After saying that, she walked inside, leaving the two female employees looking at each other with awkward expressions.

Xian Guiying wasn"t actually angry. Women were naturally gossipy, and as a company President, it was normal for her to hear occasional complaints and criticism from her subordinates. In addition, they didn"t say bad things about their superiors.

These days, the two female employees had been very careful with their jobs, afraid that she would fire them. However, Xian Guiying acted as if nothing had happened.

Cold?

Sometimes, when she was free, she would think about it by herself and smile helplessly whenever she thought about it.

How could she be so n.o.ble and cold?

Perhaps this was something similar to her brother, Xian Zihao. As she grew older and more experienced, she discovered that there were many things that weren"t worth being happy or sad about. Other than life or death, nothing else was a big deal, so she learned to remain calm.

In the past few years, when she stood by Qin Gengxin"s side, her heart was always filled with a little sweetness and a little warmth. Her mood would become very good and she would often smile.

On her desk was a business magazine with a new journal. She picked it up and flipped to the middle page, where she found photos of Qin Gengxin with a woman in some important business events.

The woman was holding his arm and was intimately close to him.

Xian Guiying closed the magazine as her lips curled up in a mocking smile.
