Chapter 198 I want to reconcile, is that okay?
Gu Chengyu watched her get out of bed, walk slowly to the bathroom in her slippers, and then walk out. He felt a little empty in his heart, but he still hurried to follow her.
Breakfast has been served in the restaurant.
Su Qianqian drank the porridge in small sips. Her stomach warmed up and she felt much more comfortable, but she still didn't say much.
Gu Chengyu sat next to her, hardly touching his own share, his eyes always on her.
His phone vibrated and he immediately picked it up. It was a message from the head of the public relations department, with a link to the statement released by the official account of the consortium.
His eyes lit up and he immediately handed the phone screen to Su Qianqian.
"Qianqian, look." He asked for credit in his tone.
"The statement has been issued and the marriage is cancelled."
"I won't marry anyone else."
Su Qianqian looked up at the screen, which contained a statement released by the official account of the Gu Group, denying all marriage rumors.
The tense feeling in her heart relaxed a little, but she still didn't smile. She just hummed softly and lowered her head to continue drinking porridge in small sips.
Gu Chengyu was stunned.
This reaction was totally unexpected for him.
He thought she would be happy and smile.
Why is she still unhappy?
He was extremely troubled, his brows knitted tightly together, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold her other small hand on the table:
"What's wrong? Still unhappy? The marriage has been cancelled."
Su Qianqian wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.
She raised her head and looked at him. The calmness in her watery almond eyes made Gu Chengyu feel uneasy.
Her voice was soft, but every word struck his heart, "Gu Chengyu, you think it doesn't matter if others call me a mistress behind my back, or the third party who ruins other people's marriages, right?"
Gu Chengyu was stunned and replied subconsciously: "No one dares to scold my woman."
Su Qianqian became even angrier. She felt that they were not on the same wavelength at all.
She pulled her hand back abruptly, her face flushed slightly with emotion, looking both cute and angry.
"No one dares to curse in person! What about behind his back? What about online?"
"Gu Chengyu, do you think that as long as you can't see or hear it, those words will no longer exist? I won't be sad?"
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt: "Loving someone isn't like this!"
"You put me in a very awkward position. Everyone thinks I'm your canary."
"When you're happy, you coax me. When you're unhappy, you try to provoke me. You've never thought about it from my perspective!"
Gu Chengyu was stunned by her series of questions.
He looked at her with anger that made her eyes red again, and he felt anxious and panicked. He seemed to understand something vaguely, but he didn't quite understand it.
Is a status really that important?
His body and heart are with her. From now on, everything in the Gu family will belong to her and their children. Why should he suffer the burden of that false reputation?
In his understanding, just like the ancient emperors, the empress had to be dignified and virtuous, and was subject to many constraints, while the favorite concubine, on the other hand, was pampered and free. The best things were presented to her, and she didn't have to abide by so many rules. If she gave birth to a child that was deeply loved by the monarch, it would be a sure thing that she would be the heir...
But when he saw Su Qianqian's angry and aggrieved look, he didn't dare to say a word of these truths that seemed to be self-evident to him.
never mind.
Although he didn't understand, he just gave her whatever she wanted.
Besides, Gu Chengyu couldn't hold it back in any situation, he was just afraid that she would be unhappy if they really came into contact.
He reached for her hand again, this time with a somewhat clumsy gesture of goodwill: "Qianqian, don't be angry. I was wrong. I'll change, okay?"
"I want to make peace, is that okay?"
Su Qianqian didn't say anything, but she didn't refuse either.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Gu Chengyu immediately took advantage of the situation and asked, "What you said before wasn't true?"
"You don't actually hate me, right? You even like me a little bit?"
Asking this question almost took up all his courage.
Why would Gu Chengyu ever need to ask anyone to verify such a question?
But at this moment, he urgently needed a positive answer from her.
He watched her long and thick eyelashes tremble, and his heart began to lift.
"Can you..." His voice lowered, almost pleading, "try to like me for a moment? Just for a moment."
As if he was afraid she would refuse, he added hastily, his tone even sounding a little aggrieved:
"Don't look down on me for having had many women before. That was a long, long time ago. After I met you, there really hasn't been any more."
After he finished speaking, he looked at her stubbornly, and his ears turned slightly red uncontrollably.
Su Qianqian was stunned.
She didn't expect him to ask so bluntly. She still remembered his drunken words that day. They weren't all true, but it was true that she had always been bothered by his past.
She stared at the man in front of her, feeling a little emotional.
In everyone's impression, Gu Chengyu is always arrogant and proud, but at this moment he is still tall, but like a big dog who is afraid of being abandoned.
But should I forgive him so quickly?
Although she was the one who spoke without thinking first, he had also used cold violence against her for half a month before that.
But she had to rely on his luck and his favorability, so she couldn't be too calculative...
Su Qianqian lowered her eyelashes, suppressed the slight grievance in her heart, and convinced herself again: "Then you should deal with those unpleasant words on the Internet first, and then talk about our business."
