Xu Ke felt extremely guilty; he realized it was time to take out some time to properly spend with Xiao Keyi.

Xiao Keyi didn’t speak, she just quietly watched Xu Ke.

This made Xu Ke a bit flustered; he knew his girlfriend had never acted like this before.

Xiao Keyi herself also thought he was a bit strange; right now, he was not the usual him.

Perhaps it was because she hadn’t seen Xu Ke for too long that Xiao Keyi felt a bit paranoid.

When they used to be together every day, she never thought like this.

But ever since this guy took over the company, he had endless overtime.

At first, this guy could still consistently take time every day to call her at the appointed times.

But as work got busier, he now no longer called, nor came home, and it had been almost a week like this.

Xiao Keyi actually really wanted to complain to Xu Ke, but she was worried he would blame her for not understanding him, so she kept her emotions hidden inside.

But seeing Xu Ke today, everything burst out all at once.

She felt she couldn’t bear this kind of life anymore; she had to make things clear with him.

"Xu Ke, I feel that if this keeps going, it won’t work for us. You haven’t come home once in a week, nor have you called me once; do I matter to you as your girlfriend? I know you’re busy with work, but you’re so busy you can’t even make a call. I know you need to work overtime. But can’t you take half an hour to come back home? Sometimes I wonder if I even have a boyfriend like you. When did we become like this, when did I become so unable to understand you?"

Xiao Keyi spoke hysterically for quite a while, and after Xu Ke listened, he felt extremely uncomfortable inside.

He completely understood his girlfriend’s feelings; indeed, he was wrong, he hadn’t considered Xiao Keyi.

This period of overtime had confused him, partly also because of Dongfang Yanran’s matter.

However, recently there hadn’t been any word on Dongfang Yanran’s situation; it seemed they must have returned.

"Keyi, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been so busy with work, ignoring your feelings. I promise you, this will never happen again, even if I’m busy, I’ll make time to call and message you. Even if I need to work late, I’ll take some time to come see you."

After hearing his words, Xiao Keyi’s anger slowly subsided a bit.

It wasn’t that she wanted to be angry at Xu Ke, but she simply couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Lately, she had been keeping an empty house every day, unable to see her boyfriend.

If it were any other woman, Xiao Keyi believed they would have exploded long ago.

She had endured it quite well up till now; if Xu Ke didn’t show her some attitude, Xiao Keyi believed she could lift the roof.

"Alright, I understand; it depends on your actions next. You still need to work late, right? Hurry back to the company."

Xiao Keyi didn’t want to waste Xu Ke’s time; she knew he genuinely had serious matters to attend to.

Xu Ke felt extremely guilty at that moment; he decided, no matter what, today he had to take time out to properly spend with Xiao Keyi.

He owed her too much; even a lifetime might not be enough to repay her.

"Keyi, I’m not going to work today. You haven’t been shopping for a while, right? Today, I’m taking you out for shopping."

Xu Ke’s words left Xiao Keyi stunned, and it took quite a while for her to react.

Knowing that he was going to accompany her shopping, Xiao Keyi was extremely happy.

Lately, she hadn’t gone shopping for a long time; everyone knows women love shopping the most.

But to avoid causing trouble for Xu Ke, she had been staying home.

Honestly, Xiao Keyi had been at home waiting for him for a long time, always thinking about when she’d have time to go out.

Unexpectedly, today Xu Ke took the initiative to take her shopping; to Xiao Keyi, this was even happier than winning the lottery.

"Sure, it’s rare for you to have time to go shopping with me, today I’m going to enjoy it to the fullest."

Actually, saying shopping was just an excuse for the two to date.

But when it came to the purchasing part, Xiao Keyi was quite interested.

Without hesitation, she took Xu Ke and went straight to the mall.

The moment she entered the mall, Xiao Keyi was immediately captivated by the array of goods inside.

People say women are born for shopping, Xu Ke had believed this for a long time.

Anyway, once in the mall, Xiao Keyi ran up and down nonstop.

Xu Ke couldn’t understand; with so many clothes at home, why did she have to buy something every time they went out?

But since he already promised to accompany Xiao Keyi shopping today, he didn’t say much.

To avoid drawing attention, this time Xu Ke deliberately chose a mall that wasn’t affiliated with their company.

He didn’t want to be recognized by the staff the moment he entered, after all, they were there to enjoy shopping, and being recognized would ruin the experience.

Xiao Keyi had just bought a jacket and now saw a pair of shoes.

So she threw the jacket at Xu Ke and dashed into the store like crazy.

Xu Ke thought standing outside was pointless, he might as well walk in, so he followed Xiao Keyi into the store.

When Xu Ke entered, he discovered Xiao Keyi was trying on a pair of shoes under the guidance of a store assistant.

Although Xu Ke didn’t know much about shoes, he could immediately tell the shoes were quite valuable.

This assistant was doing her utmost to sell these shoes to Xiao Keyi, and she seemed very satisfied with them.

Xu Ke could tell from Xiao Keyi’s expression that she really liked the shoes, so he was secretly pleased that he hadn’t taken her to the wrong place.

Xiao Keyi eventually decided to buy the shoes; after all, finding items with such appeal was extremely rare.

When she asked the assistant for the price, even someone like Xiao Keyi, who had seen a lot, was stunned.

The ordinary pair of shoes was priced at 800,000; even though Xiao Keyi didn’t know much about shoe pricing, she felt the store was charging randomly.

Xu Ke quickly noticed the situation and leisurely approached Xiao Keyi.

Upon hearing the shoes were priced at 800,000, Xu Ke didn’t show much surprise. He knew these shoes were designed by a famous international designer and deserved their price.

"We’ll buy these shoes, please wrap them up for us."
