The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 643: Retribution Is Never Late, Cleaning Up Loose Ends

When Xiao Kai met Chi Yu again, he naturally couldn’t confront him openly and subtly like before."Brother Chi!"

The smile on Xiao Kai’s face carried a hint of flattery, not very obvious, because it was evident in that greeting.

Chi Yu heard and glanced at the person who called him, his face expressionless, not wanting to engage.

Xiao Kai walked over and stood next to Chi Yu: "Brother Chi, where are you headed?"

After a moment, Chi Yu opened his mouth slightly: "Xiao—?"

Dragging the last syllable.

Xiao Kai immediately said, "Xiao Kai, I’m Xiao Kai."

Always acting like someone who forgets important people and can’t remember his name; it must be intentional.

After saying his own name, a fleeting mischievous look crossed Xiao Kai’s face, which he quickly suppressed, then put on that smile with a hint of flattery and mentioned, "I’ve heard some things about Brother Chi recently."

Chi Yu picked up his phone and glanced at it, as if someone had messaged him, casually replying to Xiao Kai, "Which versions have you heard?"

"No particular versions, after all, we’re both in the same company. I wouldn’t bother with online rumors; they’re all fake." Xiao Kai shamelessly continued, "Though I know the internet is full of lies, I was quite worried about you when things got out of hand online recently. Thankfully, everything turned around, and the rumors resolved themselves."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with these words.

However, before Chi Yu could say anything, Yi Shu came over.

Seeing Xiao Kai standing next to Chi Yu, some people’s intentions are obvious with just one glance.

For example, Xiao Kai.

"Chi Yu, your car is here," Yi Shu said to Chi Yu, ignoring Xiao Kai.

Chi Yu put away his phone, casually responded with a "Hmm," and just as he was about to take a step to leave, Xiao Kai, who hadn’t left, immediately spoke up, "Brother Chi, are you heading home?"

Didn’t he just get to the company?

Leaving so soon!

Having status sure makes a difference. Stay however long you like at the company, leave whenever. To him, the company isn’t a company; it’s a playground. Xiao Kai thought angrily.

"What, want to treat me to a meal?" Chi Yu lifted his eyes, his pupils rippling with a circle of amusement.

Xiao Kai quickly replied to the invitation, "If Brother Chi would be willing to grace me, it would be my honor."

Chi Yu glanced sideways, chuckled lightly, his cold lips effortlessly uttering two words, "Not interested."

Xiao Kai: "..."

The fists hanging by his side instantly clenched, just in time for Yi Shu to notice. Once Chi Yu took a step away, Yi Shu focused on Xiao Kai’s hand and asked, "What, feeling itchy?"

Xiao Kai’s clenched fists immediately loosened, then he weakly squeezed them a couple of times, maintaining a natural posture.

He looked down, palm rubbed restlessly against his pant leg, dryly laughing, "Nothing of the sort."

Yi Shu sneered, "You’re pretty good at distancing yourself from things."

With those words—

Xiao Kai’s expression subtly shifted, panic filling his eyes. Before he could say anything, Yi Shu left with a smirk of significant meaning.

As Chi Yu and Yi Shu walked away, one after the other, Xiao Kai, who had held back for so long, couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it! Bah! What’s so great about them!"

Jealousy corrodes a person like a virus, rotting them inch by inch, leaving them in ruins.

Xiao Kai entered Cheng Song’s office and immediately saw Cheng Song sitting moodily behind the desk. He momentarily forgot about Cheng Song covering for him, venting irritably about what had just happened.

After venting—

Unexpectedly seeing Cheng Song’s face even darker than before, Xiao Kai remembered what was said yesterday. He approached the desk, nervously asking, "Brother Song, what did they say in today’s meeting?"

Considering Yi Shu’s earlier remark, "You’re pretty good at distancing yourself," could it be Brother Song decided not to protect him, not to cover for him?

With this thought, and seeing Cheng Song’s expression, his imagination took over, and Xiao Kai believed it must be what he feared, that Cheng Song wasn’t protecting him!

All at once, Xiao Kai’s anger ignited, slamming both hands onto the desk, "No way, Brother Song, you’re just going to abandon me like that? If the company sidelines me, it’ll drag you down too. Don’t you realize, if I’m caught up in trouble, your time here won’t be peaceful? If you save me, I can at least support your status a bit longer. If I fall, you’ll be finished."

His words were long and urgent.
