Gu Xichen nodded. "Oh, so Miss Lin doesn't want to take responsibility."

She hugged him, and now she's denying it, blaming the alcohol for her mistake.

Hearing Gu Xichen's words, Lin Musheng immediately became agitated, "What do you mean by not taking responsibility? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Of course she would take responsibility for what she had done.

"Oh? So Miss Lin means you want to take responsibility for me?"

Lin Musheng nodded and said innocently, "I'll agree to whatever you want to resolve. Money or a meal?" It was her fault, so she was willing to take responsibility.

Besides, they are friends, so this man probably won't hold it against her, right?

At worst, I'll just treat him to a meal.

"Miss Lin, do I look like someone who needs your meal?" What he wanted, of course, was something else entirely.

It's not just a simple meal.

Lin Musheng looked into Gu Xichen's beautiful eyes and seemed to see a hint of a smile in them.

She asked, "What do you want? Just tell me what you need, and I'll try my best to fulfill it." She wasn't the type to renege on her promises; she took responsibility for what she had done.

So, having said I would take responsibility for Gu Xichen, I will definitely take responsibility for him.

At this moment, Lin Musheng was still unaware of the danger and naively thought that Gu Xichen just wanted her to do other things.

Gu Xichen pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Look at me, I'm already so old, and my parents are still pressuring me to get married. Miss Lin is now hugging me and wanting to come home with me. Why don't you stay here and be the lady of the house from now on?"

Now that the opportunity had presented itself, Gu Xichen voiced his thoughts.

The two of them could try getting to know each other; if it works out, maybe they could be together.

Lin Musheng looked at Gu Xichen with a bewildered expression. "Are you kidding me?" So she had gotten herself into this mess?

"Miss Lin, I'm not joking with you, I'm telling the truth. You just said you'd take responsibility for me, what, are you scared now?"

Seeing the incredulous look on the young woman's face, he knew she was definitely not ready.

Lin Musheng swallowed hard, feeling a little unreal, and said, "Gu Xichen, are you serious?" If she agreed, she would be serious, and she didn't want this man to be joking with her.

Gu Xichen said with a serious expression, "Of course I'm serious. If you don't believe me, you can have my third brother and sister-in-law testify for us. If I do anything to wrong you, they can come after me."

He had actually had feelings for Lin Musheng for a long time, but he was only speaking up now.

Lin Musheng nodded. "Okay, I'll take responsibility for you. So, let's give it a try. If it works out, we'll be together."

She has never been in a relationship before, so she wants to try being with Gu Xichen.

She also had a good impression of this man.

What was somewhat unexpected was that this man would say these things to her so quickly.

Gu Xichen was somewhat surprised by Lin Musheng's answer, and even a little skeptical. "Are you really willing to be with me?"

He felt like he was dreaming, and he couldn't believe that this little woman would agree to his request so readily.

Lin Musheng nodded. "Didn't you just say you wanted me to take responsibility for you? Of course I'll take responsibility for what I did. But... I think we can try it out first, and if it works out, we can be together; if not, we can break up."

Isn't that what dating is all about? If it's a good fit, you stay together; if it's not, you break up.

She actually had some feelings for Gu Xichen, but she never dared to say them.

Since she had made a mistake this time, and Gu Xichen had made such a request, she thought that perhaps the two of them could give it a try.

Hearing Lin Musheng's answer, Gu Xichen smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's try being together. However, I've never been in a relationship before, so if you think there's anything I'm not doing well enough, you can tell me right away."

This was his first time dating, and he had no experience.

Lin Musheng nodded. "Okay."

"So, are you going back tomorrow?" Since there's hardly anyone at home, staying with him isn't a bad idea.

Aren't we all going to cultivate feelings for each other anyway?

Lin Musheng lowered her head, somewhat shyly, "I'll take it, but no matter what, I still need to go back and pack."

She felt this was all too abrupt; she still felt like she was dreaming and was somewhat unable to process it.

So I was thinking of telling Jiang Susu about this later and seeing what she thought.

She is not ready to live with Gu Xichen yet.

“Then come and live with me after you’re done packing,” Gu Xichen said.

Lin Musheng hesitated for a moment and said, "But we're just dating now. Dating doesn't necessarily mean living together." They weren't sure if they would get married, so she still wanted to live separately.

Gu Xichen was a little disappointed. "Huh? You're not going to live with me? But aren't we supposed to be building up our relationship?"

He initially thought they would live together. What a disappointment!

"We'll talk about it after you pass your probation period and become a full-time employee. Right now, you're just a boyfriend at best, what kind of relationship are you trying to develop?"

She couldn't let Gu Xichen take advantage of her so quickly.

Before that, we definitely need to put this man to a good test.

Gu Xichen nodded, "Then go along with your girlfriend." Lin Musheng's words made sense; the two of them weren't officially together yet, so he needed to start pursuing the girl.

Try to behave well so that the girl can move in with him sooner.

Hearing Gu Xichen call her his girlfriend, Lin Musheng lowered her head shyly, as it was the first time someone had addressed her like that.

However, she didn't know if Jiang Susu would approve of them being together.

Gu Xichen and Shang Yanxing are very good friends, and logically speaking, Gu Xichen should also be a pretty good person.

However, she hadn't known Gu Xichen for very long, so she didn't know much about her.

She planned to tell Jiang Susu about this as soon as possible. After all, this was a major life event for her, and not a trivial matter.

Therefore, she still needs someone to give her advice and suggestions.

To avoid ending up like Jiang Susu did when she liked Shen Shiyan, losing herself in the process.

No matter what, she would never allow herself to become the Jiang Susu of the past.
