Mengmeng had called just to ask about this, and now that she had her answer, she was ready to hang up. "Then you continue with your work, I need to get busy too."
"Okay, I’ll come pick you up later," Gu Zhihan said on the other end of the line.
Mengmeng shook her head, "No need, I can just take a taxi back."
"Taxis aren’t safe, I’ll come pick you up," Gu Zhihan stated without a doubt.
Mengmeng couldn’t win against him, so she reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."
After hanging up, Cheng Suisui couldn’t help but tease her, "Your husband is personally coming to pick you up, and you still look reluctant. I’m so envious, it’s killing this single dog over here!"
"I just feel there’s nothing great about him picking me up; I’m not a kid anymore. Can’t I go home on my own?" Luo Mengmeng pouted.
She might say that, but deep down inside, her heart was inexplicably sweet.
Who wouldn’t want their boyfriend to pamper them like a child!
"Don’t act all coy after getting your way!" Cheng Suisui felt like strangling her.
She had seen people show off their love, but never to this extent!
It was really annoying!
"If you’re envious, then you should get rid of your single status too!" Luo Mengmeng made a face.
At this comment, Cheng Suisui couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, Yibai doesn’t like me, who knows when I’ll be able to get rid of my single status."
"Gold will open any stone, as long as you keep trying, there will always be hope," Luo Mengmeng patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Back then, I chased Gu Zhihan for over ten years..."
"That long! And it was you who chased him?" Suisui was shocked.
She had always thought that it was Gu Zhihan who pursued Mengmeng.
"Yeah, because I liked him first. He’s so aloof; if I didn’t pursue him, was I supposed to just wait for him to pursue me?" Mengmeng shrugged helplessly.
If it wasn’t unavoidable, who would want to pursue someone!
Cheng Suisui felt envious and jealous.
When Gu Zhihan came to pick up Mengmeng, he overheard her telling Cheng Suisui about how she had pursued him.
He couldn’t help but curve his lips.
As he was driving her away, he said, "Next time, don’t tell others that you pursued me."
"Why?" Mengmeng asked, buckling her seatbelt and looking up at him with her bright, innocent eyes.
While driving, Gu Zhihan explained, "Because it makes people think you are cheap, and they might look down on you."
After all, even if a girl succeeds in pursuing a guy, people might still look down on her, a rather strange phenomenon.
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng was silent for a moment before saying, "... Only people with ’straight man cancer’ or ’straight woman cancer’ would think that way, right?"
Gu Zhihan suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned to stare at the young woman, "Are you saying I have ’straight man cancer’?"
Mengmeng was most afraid of men showing this kind of expression because it meant he would find a reason to bother her again. For the sake of being able to get out of bed the next day, Mengmeng quickly brushed him off, "No, you’re the exception, the exception!"
"You’re quick-witted."
Gu Zhihan decided not to argue with her anymore.
While in the car, Mengmeng was scrolling through her phone, looking at the news from the back seat.
Soon, a news about a meteor shower caught her attention.
Mengmeng immediately became excited and asked, "Gu Zhihan, there’s going to be a meteor shower here the day after tomorrow, are you interested in seeing it?"
Every girl is irresistibly drawn to the allure of meteors, and Mengmeng was no exception.
"Not interested," Gu Zhihan was never interested in such boring things.
