Gu Rongqi parked the car in the parking space and, as he got out, walked over and took Cheng Qicai's hand.

"Gu Rongqi, what exactly are you angry about?" Cheng Qicai thought about it the whole way but still couldn't figure it out.

Guessing is too much trouble; it's better to just ask.

Gu Rongqi squeezed her hand a little tighter. "I'm not angry, just a little depressed."

What's bothering you?

"It's frustrating that you don't seem to rely on me much."

"Huh?" Cheng Qicai was stunned by this answer, wondering where he got that idea from. "How could you think that?"

Gu Rongqi opened the door. "As your boyfriend, it's only natural for me to give you a car or take you anywhere, but you always tell me you can do it yourself; it was the same before, when I wanted to treat you to a meal or go out, you always refused..."

Cheng Qicai was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gu Rongqi would start bringing up old grievances as he talked.

She couldn't help but argue, "Your car isn't suitable for me to drive! Besides, don't you occasionally go to the company? Isn't it normal to take different routes if they're not on the same way?"

"Besides, you used to be my boss, so it was normal for me to refuse you. What's the difference between going out with you and working overtime?"

“It’s not normal.” Gu Rongqi’s denial was firm.

He cupped her face in his hands, gazed at her with deep affection, and gently stroked her cheek with his thumb.

“I could understand you rejecting me before, but now I’m your boyfriend, so you should have some expectations of me and rely on me.”

"..." Cheng Qi didn't expect that there would be someone so eager to be abused.

She felt that she was already quite dependent on Gu Rongqi. Gu Rongqi did most of the daily chores, and sometimes when she was thirsty, he would feed her. He did everything so perfectly that she couldn't find any fault with him.
