"Boss, what do you mean by ’it’s worth it’? You mean, it was worth it because you dropped her off and that you manage to give her your number?" Gu Wei was so puzzled he couldn’t stop himself from asking. His ability to just spout whatever popped in his head really never ceased to amaze his comrades.
His question was what every one of them was asking in their heads but only Gu Wei was brave enough, or stupid enough, depending on who you ask, to say it out loud. This singular species was really amazing!
At that moment, Yu Chen stared at Gu Wei. "What, you think I’m wrong that it’s not really worth the risk?" he asked and the man stiffened.
"No, no, no! It’s absolutely not like that boss! It’s just that, I thought it’d be even more amazing if you accepted her proposal instead, right?"
Upon hearing him, Yu Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. "Didn’t you listen when I said I would be the one to pursue her? And didn’t you guys say I should act like this?"
Yu Chen’s words made every single one of his men turn to him with wide eyes. They looked like they were stunned to their bones. When did we say that you should reject a proposal especially from the girl you want to pursue? Did anyone of us tell him that? Nobody did, right?! Did an idiot advise him in secret?!
His men were shrouded in disbelief. Even Gu Wei frowned hard as he looked like he was trying so hard to recall if anyone of them did say something like that.
Yu Chen of course, noticed his men’s reactions so he continued.
"You all agreed when I said it would be a wrong move if I ask her to marry me right away! You guys said it was too early and that she would be scared! And how could I pursue her if she’s already my fiancée?" Yu Chen’s tone turned a bit loud, causing everyone to zip their mouths all at once.
’Damn it, big big boss! It’s a different story now since it was the girl who was proposing! How could you reject her?!’
After a long while of silence, Gu Wei reached his limit and he burst out, disrupting the quiet atmosphere.
"But boss, it’s a different story now that she was the one who proposed. And how could you reject her? You even said you don’t like her methods. She waited there for you for hours, you know? You made a lady wait for you until late at night outside and then you refused her. You even told her the really, really heartless words ’I refuse’! Boss, you’re so cruel! Here I thought that you really like her, sigh... I’m sure she is really disappointed right now." Gu Wei cried like he was a whining kid.
All the other men were now sweating and speechless. They all swallowed hard as they tried to catch Gu Wei’s attention to tell him to stop. Gu Wei was indeed the most courageous MVP who didn’t seem to care about his life anymore as long as he could spit out the words that came to his head. They were worried since their boss already seemed a bit annoyed. Gu Wei, that’s enough. Can’t you just shut your mouth? Can’t you read the atmosphere?! The boss is already...
The men all slowly glanced at Yu Chen and something unthinkable appeared before their eyes. They were all stunned that they almost choked. Some even shut their eyes and looked at him again to confirm.
Yu Chen suddenly looked like he was a mirror statue with cracks all over him. Wait! What happened? Did Gu Wei’s words hit him hard?! What? Our boss is... this is... I can’t believe my eyes!
The surprise and disbelief that the men were experiencing was indescribable. They never thought that one day, they would see this almighty poker-faced Yu Chen looking like he eas doomed and that the world had ended for him.
Yu Chen’s face darkened as he froze. His gaze was focused on some empty space while his men were looking at each other with meaningful gazes.
However, before his men started to panic within themselves, the frozen Yu Chen snapped out of it and he turned to Gu Jinyang.
"Tell me, was I really too heartless to her? You think I made a huge mistake? Do you really think she is so disappointed with me now?"
