Su Wenwen was startled by Gu Cheng's question. She didn't know how she felt about him, but she desperately wanted to rely on him. A small thrill stirred within her, but it was quickly followed by a chill. It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her in the dead of winter, a chilling blow that penetrated to her very core. Even if she received affection from others, it would be fleeting and impulsive, and because she wasn't a virgin, she felt unworthy of him. Gu Cheng was a good man, deserving of a woman far better and more outstanding than herself.

Su Wenwen said to Gu Cheng, "Any woman would be moved by what you said, including me. But we are not a good match."

Gu Cheng was happy but also a little disappointed because Su Wenwen had some feelings for him, but she said that the two of them were not a good match.

Gu Cheng asked doubtfully, "Why aren't we a good match? You and I are a perfect couple, a match made in heaven."

Su Wenwen told Gu Cheng, "This isn't the first time for me and you. You could say it's not that we're not a good match, but that I'm not good enough for you." Su Wenwen said this with a hint of anger in her voice. She didn't want anyone to know that she had been sexually harassed, so she clenched her fists tightly.

Gu Cheng didn't notice Su Wenwen clenching her fists or see her anger. He said to Su Wenwen with deep affection, "I don't care if it's your first time or not. As long as you know that I like you, I won't care about anything else. And if I say you're good enough for me, then you are good enough for me. There's no such thing as us being unworthy."

But Su Wenwen minded it very much, not just a little. "But I mind that I'm not good enough for you, we're not a good match, and you and I won't be together."

Gu Cheng grabbed Su Wenwen's hand, pulled her close, and held her in his arms. "I said you deserve it, so you deserve it."

Su Wenwen was deeply moved, but she couldn't overcome this obstacle. She could only push Gu Cheng away and say, "I'm sorry."

“You don’t need to apologize,” Gu Cheng said.

The anger suddenly turned cold.

Su Wenwen spoke up: "."

Gu Cheng was startled and very disappointed. "Why did you leave! If it's because you're afraid of embarrassment, I can stop coming to see you for the next few days."

“There’s no why, no reason. I’m leaving here tomorrow,” Su Wenwen said.

Gu Cheng said with great disappointment, "I don't care about the gap between us. In my heart, you will always be the best."

But Su Wenwen insisted on her point of view, believing she was unworthy of Gu Cheng. "You wouldn't understand how vast the gap is between us. You enjoy a good life, have excellent conditions; you could practically control everything, and with a flick of your finger, many would fawn over you. As for me, I have to work incredibly hard to live the life I want, but life is full of disappointments. But you can't complain, because that's life. You have to overcome the obstacles life throws at you. I'm just a small-time actress; I have to fight for roles because no one can help you. You have to work hard to make people like you. Even if this profession is complicated, since you chose it, you have to persevere. Even if you're bullied, you can't speak up. That's the difference between you and me, the gap between us." Su Wenwen became increasingly agitated as she spoke.

But Gu Cheng didn't care about any of that. "I can give you the life you want. I will protect you and not let anyone bully you. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to do what you don't want to do. You can live as you please. You can confide in me anytime. I will always be the most reliable support behind you."

Su Wenwen had been explaining for so long, but Gu Cheng still didn't understand. Su Wenwen was getting really angry with him. "You still don't understand..."

Before Su Wenwen could finish speaking, Gu Cheng interrupted her. "What do you mean I don't understand? There's no gap between us, there's no mismatch between us. I like you, so I'm going to pursue you."

Su Wenwen was speechless. Gu Cheng was still so stubborn. Su Wenwen thought that she was about to leave and should tell Jiang Hua, so she decided to contact Jiang Hua.

Su Wenwen said to Gu Cheng, "I'm going to rest." After saying that, she went back to her room. Gu Cheng did not follow her, but sat alone on the sofa with his head down in thought.

Su Wenwen picked up her phone and sent a message to Jiang Hua: "Huahua, I'm leaving here tomorrow."

"Ding ding." Jiang Hua's phone rang. She saw that it was a message from Su Wenwen, so she clicked on it. "Huahua, I'm leaving here tomorrow." As soon as Jiang Hua saw it, she immediately called Su Wenwen.

Su Wenwen answered the phone when her phone rang. It was Jiang Hua calling her.

"Hey, Huahua." Before Su Wenwen could finish speaking, she heard Jiang Hua speaking loudly from the other end.

"Su Wenwen, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you, or did you take the wrong medicine? Are you alright? Why did you have to leave here for no reason?"

Su Wenwen was very grateful to have Jiang Hua as a friend. "Gu Cheng confessed his feelings to me, but I'm not good enough for him. I want to leave this place, get away from this city, so I'm going to run away."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua said, "You said you're not good enough for Gu Cheng, why do you say that?"

Because this wasn't Su Wenwen's first time, she wasn't perfect enough, not good enough, and she wasn't good enough for Gu Cheng. Tears welled in Su Wenwen's eyes; she couldn't bear to part with Jiang Hua. Su Wenwen was silent for a moment before speaking, "I'm different from Gu Cheng. I plan to run away, to find a new life, to live the life I want. I want to be free, to be unrestrained by others' rules and regulations."

Since Su Wenwen had said that, Jiang Hua couldn't say anything, and Jiang Hua was also very reluctant to part with Su Wenwen.

At this moment, tears welled up in both of their eyes. This is probably what true friendship is like, something rare and precious.

"Okay, I respect your choice. I'll miss you a lot, and you have to miss me too!" Jiang Hua wiped her eyes as she said this.

Similarly, Su Wenwen did the same thing as Jiang Hua. "I want Gu Cheng to give up on me. He deserves better. We will never see each other again."

Jiang Hua understood Su Wenwen, so she respected Su Wenwen's choice and remained silent.

So they hung up the phone. However, Gu Cheng was unaware of Su Wenwen's inner thoughts at that moment, as he pondered how to make her fall in love with him.

The next day, Su Wenwen said to Gu Cheng, "I want to leave this place. I hope you can find someone you love." Su Wenwen felt bad when she said this.

Gu Cheng would never compromise.

Su Wenwen added, "I'm not worth you sacrificing so much for me. You'll find someone better. Even if our relationship ends, we can still be friends."

Gu Cheng was very unhappy: "You are worth all this effort for me, because you are my woman, I like you. I will never give you up."
