Su Qianqian's mind went blank. The room was filled with men and women, their clothes disheveled, including Gu Chengyu.
What she saw with her own eyes disgusted her.
He had made her weak in the knees in bed just two days ago, yet he kept going to places like this, letting women get close to him.
Even if he didn't actually touch her, she still felt disgusted.
And then there was Lin Shu's glaring smile.
She ran forward, tears blurring her vision, making it impossible to see the road ahead. All she wanted was to get as far away from that place as possible.
I had only run a few steps when a strong hand grabbed my wrist from behind.
"Qianqian!" Gu Chengyu's voice rang out above her head, urgent and flustered.
Su Qianqian was forced to turn around, and through her teary eyes, she saw Gu Chengyu's heartbreaking face.
"Let me go!"
She struggled, her voice soft and hoarse, tears streaming down her pale face and landing on the back of his hand that was gripping her wrist.
Gu Chengyu not only didn't let go, but also reached out with his other large hand to cup her wet little face.
His palms were warm and dry, and his movements were clumsy.
"Don't run! Listen to me!" He half-forced her to lift her face, making her look up at him with tearful eyes, her eyes filled with anxiety.
"It's not what you think! There's nothing between us!"
As Su Qianqian looked at him with her face cupped in his hands, the grievances in her heart surged even more intensely.
She sobbed, tears streaming down her face, her voice accusing, "You're lying!"
“I saw it all. She was dressed like that and was so close to you. And you still say that I was the only one there.”
"Liar... Waaah... You broke your promise..."
"I don't!"
Gu Chengyu roared resolutely, his brows furrowed, and the fingers cupping her face tightened slightly, as if to make her see the seriousness in his eyes.
"I didn't touch her at all! Not even a finger! She just shamelessly came to me!"
Looking at the girl's red eyes and the tears rolling down her cheeks, he felt as if something was clenching his heart.
He took a deep breath and tried to soften his voice as he explained, "There's a reason. Before you showed up, I made a silly bet with Chen Que and the others..."
He paused, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, but quickly continued, "I'm betting on whether Lin Shu will take the initiative to come back and ask for reconciliation. The deadline is tonight."
"She started playing the game on her own initiative, and then she pulled this stunt after losing."
"I sent her here so she could put on a show in front of Shen Que and the others, bow her head and admit her mistake. That would be enough for me to win my bet!"
"Who told her to dress like that? Disgusting!"
As Gu Chengyu spoke, he looked at the little girl's still teary, aggrieved eyes, and felt both anxious and heartbroken.
He gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips.
