The private room was completely silent.
Shen Que looked at Lin Shu and thought to himself: Brilliant! These words are absolutely brilliant.
She completely absolved herself of any responsibility and portrayed herself as a tragic goddess who was infatuated with love, bravely fought for it, but ultimately failed.
Even if she loses tonight, the news will say that Lin Shu left gracefully and with dignity, losing to Gu Chengyu's ruthlessness and lust for novelty.
Even if Cheng Yu initially wanted to blacklist her, faced with this heartfelt confession, he probably wouldn't resort to such drastic measures.
He knew all too well the wicked nature of men.
Qin Yu leaned back on the sofa, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Lin Shu's tear-streaked face and Gu Chengyu.
An idea was running through his mind.
He thought to himself, "Lin Shu is a woman with truly remarkable methods."
A heartfelt confession, accompanied by tears, strikes right at a man's inherent weakness: which man wouldn't be carried away by the thought of being cherished and adored by a beautiful woman?
Add to that her beautiful face and exquisite figure, and with her humble attitude and pleading, which man could resist?
If it weren't for Cheng Yu's fairy-like good looks and his new love interest interfering...
Qin Yu could almost picture it: Lin Shu's feigned indifference and infatuation were practically tailor-made for an arrogant prince like Gu Chengyu.
The strategy of feigning indifference to lure the prey has succeeded? Everyone is happy.
What if things go wrong? No problem, a dramatic scene of heartfelt repentance will immediately take its place.
Even if Gu Chengyu eventually marries a wealthy woman of equal social standing, he will definitely reserve a special place for Lin Shu in his heart.
She'll probably be the one to be called the Crown Prince's white moonlight. With him protecting her career, she can keep a few young men to keep her company in private. Gu Chengyu probably won't care and will just turn a blind eye.
This is definitely a script for a winner in life.
In fact, he was absolutely right; that's exactly how the original story unfolded.
It's a pity, Qin Yu glanced at the one in Gu Chengyu's arms.
Su Qianqian buried half her face in Gu Chengyu's chest, revealing her bright almond-shaped eyes, her slender fingers clutching the man's shirt.
Gu Chengyu held her slender waist tightly with one hand, while the other hand gently patted her back, a focus he showed completely different from when he was with Lin Shu and other women.
When comparing goods, you'll throw them away; when comparing people, you'll lose... Lin Shu's defeat is not unjustified.
Qin Yu's initial sigh was instantly replaced by the excitement of watching the spectacle.
He nudged Shen Que beside him, lowered his voice, and said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Hey, Shen Er, do you think Cheng Yu could have handled Lin Shu's 'deeply devoted love' act without any regrets?"
Shen Que was annoyed by the intimate posture of the two. Upon hearing this, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lin Shu, then looked at the soft little girl in Gu Chengyu's arms.
He sneered through his nose: "Can't handle it? In the past, Chengyu would probably have already embraced and kissed her! Her little schemes are just taking advantage of men's weakness for that kind of thing, aren't they?"
His tone was harsh, with a hint of bitterness that he himself was unaware of.
I used to think Lin Shu was quite assertive and knew how to manipulate men's hearts.
Compared to the innocent and sincere Su Qianqian, her scheming and calculating appearance is simply unappetizing.
Lin Shu stood in the center of the private room, her palms clenched tightly.
Chen Que's cold laugh reminded her.
Yes, without Su Qianqian, her plan would certainly work.
No matter how arrogant Gu Chengyu was, he couldn't resist the sincere heart offered by the beauty!
She will be an indelible mark on his heart, not the joke that is about to be kicked out.
Overwhelming hatred mixed with resentment surged in her chest, almost drowning her.
——
The onlookers on both sides held their breath in awe.
All eyes were focused on the man in the center of the sofa.
Curiosity? Inquiry?
What will he choose?
Is it out of consideration for past feelings, giving Lin Shu a way out?
Or should they completely break off relations and protect the delicate new love in their arms?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Chengyu remained silent for a long time.
He was more concerned about what the little girl thought.
