It has been said that when a person despairs for too long, he will no longer need hope.

From the disappearance of Gong Qi to the present, I can't count how many days I have been desperate, but Ye Ningbai is still stubbornly groping for the faint hope, although the moment when the hope is disappointed makes her miserable, she has never thought of stopping to get closer to hope, she is a cowardly person, and she always needs the support of that trace of faith.

Even if it is small, it is needed.

In the president's office, Ye Ningbai held the photo frame in her hand, what had happened these days was circulating in her brain, frame by frame real and exhausting, as those pictures flashed through her mind, the last stubbornness in her eyes slowly became fragmented, and then a trace of it dispersed, and finally turned into boundless loneliness and unwillingness, climbing up the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

In the quiet air, a vague sigh came, and Ye Ningbai's nostalgic pupils reflected the beauty without a trace of flaws in the photo.

The clear blue sky is like a pure sapphire, crystal clear without a trace of impurities, and the soft and lazy white clouds flow slowly in the gem, deducing a thousand postures.

On the green grass covered with petals, handsome young men and women hugged each other sweetly, and they behaved intimately, looking at each other with a warm and tender look in their eyes, like the warm petals under their feet, which was a little unreal.

This is the most perfect group photo of Ye Ningbai and Gong Qiyi, when the photo was just washed out, she couldn't put it down, God knows how grateful she is to that excellent photographer, the negatives are treasured in a precious box.

The photos were also washed a lot, sandwiched in a book, and hung in the bedroom......

There is also this one in his hand, which is placed on the desk, on Gong Qi's desk.

He said that putting their pictures in front of him was like happiness was never far away.

But happiness is still far away after all.

The beauty without a trace of flaws at the beginning, now it seems to be really dreamy and more dreamy when polishing it with your eyes, or maybe it's just because the person in the photo is gone, so the beauty on the photo will inevitably be two more points unreal.

Such an unreal beauty is the driving force for Gong Qiyu to swim against the current in this bloody and rainy shopping mall, and now, it is also the driving force for Ye Ningbai, as long as she is there, the Gong family is there.

The person in the photo devoted his whole life to love her, this person is called Gong Qi, it is her unique Gong Qi, who only loves Ye Ningbai's Gong Qi, and has nothing to do with Gu Zi.

There are so many similar skins in the world, but the soul she is looking forward to is only that one after all, and there is no other in the world.

Although Ye Ningbai was unwilling to accept it, she had to admit at this moment that Gu Ziyan was not Gong Qiyan, maybe the man she had unforgettable with really couldn't come back, but no matter what the truth was, she no longer wanted to imagine another person who had nothing to do with her as a man she loved deeply.

Even if you lose, don't replace it with an illusory one.

Gu Zi is not Gong Qi, and he doesn't need a shadow, when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be a new day.

Ye Ningbai told herself this in her heart, she turned her head slightly, and looked at the mottled glass floor-to-ceiling window, the hope in her eyes beat up and down, like a cluster of tiny flames, slowly becoming brighter.

She wants to live well, live strongly, and let the Gong family always have the strength to stand tall in the business world, so that this group that witnessed the love between her and Gong Qi will shine brightly from now on.

In order to calm herself down, Ye Ningbai specially told her assistant not to let anyone disturb her this afternoon.

There are no documents that need to be sent back repeatedly for signature and revision, no noisy phone ringing again and again, no crisp and busy sound of an assistant's high heels hitting the ground...... Without any interruptions, the entire office becomes peaceful.

Ye Ningbai thought seriously in this closed and quiet space.

After a fierce ideological struggle.

She finally accepts the mottled reality in front of her and rekindles hope.

Just as she picked up the phone and was about to ask her assistant to send her work papers, the mobile phone she had left on the tea table rang.

The beautiful ringtone of a mobile phone rings in an excessively quiet office, adding two points of abrupt harshness.

A bad premonition rose in his heart, looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Ye Ningbai still pressed the answer button after hesitating. "Hello, who?"

"Ye Ningbai, we are also old acquaintances, Miss Ye really doesn't need to be so polite."

The clear female voice carried a hint of superiority, and every word was bitten clearly and moderately, making people unable to find any mistakes, this familiar and dangerous feeling made Ye Ningbai's heart tighten.

"Miss Song contacted me personally, why did you do it?"

Nothing to do is go to the Three Treasures Palace, but if Ye Ningbai knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Song Jingli, maybe she would hang up without hesitation, they used to fight each other because of a palace Qi Yao, but now Qi Yao's whereabouts are unknown, she doesn't think she has any common language with this woman.

"What, isn't it okay, you can't contact Miss Ye?" The voice on the other end of the phone, which was still detached and did not show half of the weakness, made Song Jingli feel a little dissatisfied, she chuckled, and her clear voice was two more points careless. "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot, Miss Ye is now the president of the Gong family, and naturally her business is busy, how can she be the same as an idler like me! I'm used to being idle, and my memory is not good, so don't mind Miss Ye! ”

Ye Ningbai, a woman, seems to be able to wrap her strong shell perfectly all the time, but now that there is no Gong Qi, how long can this lustful shell be supported, she doesn't believe it, she can't tear off this shell!

Sure enough, Song Jingli's gag and non-mentioning conversation made Ye Ningbai a little annoyed.

She clenched the phone in her hand, and her voice was a little more forceful.

"Since Miss Song understands that my noble person is busy, then I won't talk nonsense, if Miss Song needs to talk with her, then I think you have found the wrong person, I don't have time."

Although she understood that Song Jingli was not the kind of boring woman, she wouldn't make a phone call just to stimulate her with a thorn, what kind of purpose she must have, but Ye Ningbai didn't want to explore this purpose, she subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with this woman with some mystery.

got angry so quickly, and he really overestimated her.

The corners of her red lips raised, Song Jingli leaned on the sofa, she gently took a sip of the red wine at hand, and her voice was still careless. "I don't have time, it seems that I don't have a chance to convey the whereabouts of Gong Qiyu to Miss Ye in person."

"What are you talking about, do you know the whereabouts of Gong Qiyi?"

As if the craziest string in the depths of her brain was plucked, Ye Ningbai lost her mind in an instant, if Song Jingli was in front of her at the moment, then her hand would definitely grab Song Jingli's collar without hesitation.

Song Jingli on the other end of the phone seemed to enjoy the process of torturing Ye Ningbai, and after a long time, her voice came from the phone again.

"Isn't Miss Ye having time to chat with me, and in that case, I won't disturb Miss Ye's work."

Unfolding the fist that was a little stiff by herself, Ye Ningbai pointed her finger at the glass in front of her, feeling the slightly cool temperature of her fingertips, the burning heat in her heart faded little by little, and was replaced by calm reason, she took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Whether there is time depends on who that person is, if it is Miss Song, I will naturally accompany me." ”

The bait thrown by the other party was Gong Qi's eyes, so even if it was a fire pit, she could only jump down.

The game of cat and mouse was almost the same, Song Jingliye seemed to lose interest while being satisfied, she raised her head and drank the last red wine in the cup, and the demonic voice that made Ye Ningbai painful sounded again.

"Since Miss Ye has time, then naturally everyone is happy, tomorrow morning at half past nine, Jinzhi Cafe, as long as Miss Ye does not miss the appointment, you will definitely get the answer you want."

The show has just begun, and she naturally has to leave some interest for herself to have the desire to watch it.

Song Jingli hung up the phone after speaking, a trace of satisfaction crossed her delicate face, and she put her hand on her obviously bulging abdomen, and the low eyes were bound to become more and more obvious.

Now Gu Ziyan has promised to be responsible for the child in her womb, she understands Gu Ziyan's character, although he has lost his memory, but his character and habits have not changed at all, since he agreed, it will not be as simple as just talking, so the only thing she has to do next is to declare the pride of the victor to Ye Ningbai, and at the same time, let that woman completely die to Gu Zibai.

She carefully arranged the bureau and put such a long line, and tomorrow, it is time to close the net.

As long as tomorrow passes, everything she wants will be in her hands.

Listening to the busy sound from the mobile phone, Ye Ningbai's body loosened and fell on the chair in front of the desk, his body was already a little stiff because of the high degree of mental tension, and as soon as he relaxed, there was a crispy numb feeling from his whole body.

It was just a phone call, but it seemed to exhaust the strength of Ye Ningbai's whole body.

Gong Qiyu has been missing for as long as a century, and she has gone from hypnotizing herself frantically every day to completely accepting this fact.

It seems that all the spiritual energy of her life has been exhausted, and just when she thinks she has recognized the reality, someone suddenly tells her that what she is thinking about is not the truth of the matter.

Exhaustion and chaos swept through the entire brain in an instant, but Ye Ningbai still had a trace of sobriety, she understood that she needed to calm down the most, but the reality had given her too many head-on blows in the past few days, and she was afraid that she would not have the extra energy to maintain the little sanity in her brain that had already been consumed.

Putting down the phone, Ye Ningbai leaned back in the chair and closed his tired eyes, isolating himself from this messy and treacherous world.
