Gao Zhenzhen mustered a faint smile to show she understood. "It’s okay, let the past stay in the past. As long as you’re mine from now on, that’s all that matters."
"Of course, I’ll be yours and only yours from now on," Gu Yixuan said, smiling as he kissed her cheek.
This was the first time he had initiated a kiss, and Gao Zhenzhen’s eyes immediately filled with joy.
"Xuan..." she looked at him with eyes full of affection.
"Ay, what are you two getting all lovey-dovey for? We’re still here, you know," someone chimed in to lighten the mood, laughing heartily. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Gao Zhenzhen’s cheeks turned red, and she shyly lowered her eyes next to Gu Yixuan, looking very dependent and delicate.
The man held her shoulders and gave a slight smile.
Others chimed in with their various comments, and the atmosphere returned to how it was before.
Gu Yixuan occasionally added a word or two, but his mind kept flashing back to the hurt expression that Mo Ran had worn just moments ago.
After leaving ’Night Charm,’ Gu Yixuan opened the car door, letting Gao Zhenzhen get in first. He was about to walk around to the driver’s seat when someone called his name.
He turned around and saw Mo Ran.
Mo Ran had been waiting for him outside, wanting to ask why he pretended not to know her, why he treated her the way he did.
The man’s brow furrowed slightly.
Gao Zhenzhen called out to him worriedly, "Xuan."
He turned and smiled at her, "Don’t worry, I’ll go settle this, and then I’ll be right there."
"Just ignore her, after all, even when you give her money, she doesn’t want it."
"It’s better to clear up matters , to avoid her bothering us frequently in the future."
Gu Yixuan himself didn’t know why he felt the need to resolve this situation.
Subconsciously, he didn’t really want to reject Mo Ran.
After reassuring Gao Zhenzhen, he walked up to Mo Ran and smiled faintly, "What, having regrets and want money again?"
Mo Ran looked at him as if she were seeing a stranger she didn’t recognize.
"Gu Yixuan, tell me, why did you pretend not to recognize me? Even if you don’t love me anymore, even if you hate me, you don’t need to treat me . I waited for you for so long, hoping every day for your return. Is ’not recognizing me’ what I get in the end?"
Her voice was filled with accusation, as if he had really abandoned her after leading her on.
Gu Yixuan crossed his arms and looked at her coldly, "Your surname is Mo, right? Miss Mo, since you’re an adult, you should know when to exit a game, shouldn’t you?"
