Cheng Qicai: "..."

She was speechless at his words, and in the end, she could only grit her teeth and squeeze out two words: "You scoundrel."

"Mmm." Gu Rongqi readily accepted her address.

Cheng Qicai couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "How can you be getting more and more shameless?!"

Gu Rongqi smiled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

"..."

Where did the aloof, mature, wise, and refined CEO Gu go?

"President Gu..." Cheng Qicai called out sincerely, hoping to use this address to bring back the feelings he had before.

Let's keep some distance between them!

Distance makes the heart grow fonder—that saying is absolutely true!

The image that Gu Rongqi had previously cultivated in her has vanished without a trace at some point.

She decided that from today onwards, she would call him by this distant name so that he would remember how she used to be.

Gu Rongqi was slightly taken aback when he heard this long-unheard address, and his thoughts were indeed pulled back to the past for a moment.

He tried to think like Cheng Qicai, but this time he couldn't figure out why she suddenly called him that.

He looked at her in confusion, "Why are you calling me that?"

"Have you thought about the past?" Cheng Qicai coaxed gently, "Do you still remember our relationship back then, that distance? Don't you miss it..."

Gu Rongqi instantly understood her thoughts.

He pondered for a moment before nodding seriously, "Yes, although unrequited love is painful, thinking of you still makes me happy."

"..." Who said that?

His words completely shattered Cheng Qicai's defenses, especially when she saw the dejection in Gu Rongqi's eyes.

This looks rather pitiful...

Cheng Qicai began to blame herself and reflect. What happened in the past might not have mattered to her, but for Gu Rong, whom she had always resisted, it was not so easy to think about.

Cheng Qicai's heart ached, and regret flashed in her eyes.

Gu Rongqi is so good, she feels like she's not human.

A smile flashed in Gu Rongqi's eyes. He walked over, took her hand, and said with a smile, "I know what you mean. I was just teasing you... but the thought that you are happy is true."

"Just kidding!" These words echoed in her ears.

Cheng Qicai's eyes widened suddenly. She despised herself for having just been reflecting on things; all her remorse had been wasted.

He's the worst person ever.

Cheng Qicai grabbed his hand and angrily bit down, but then remembered his last words and softened her bite considerably.

Feeling the warmth and wetness of his palm, he indulged her as she bit him.

It doesn't hurt anyway.
