Seeing her expression, Gu Chenge suddenly curled his lips in self-deprecation: "I was just guessing, but I didn't expect it to be true. I, Gu Chenge, have actually become the kind of scum who takes advantage of kindness."
Wu Xiaoxiao knew he had misunderstood.
Her heart felt like it was being gripped by a large hand, making it hard to breathe, but she didn't want him to continue misunderstanding, so she explained somewhat incoherently, "I'm sorry, don't think of yourself as so bad. I was overthinking things back then. I was in a quagmire and couldn't pull you in. You are like the bright moon in the sky to me. It really has nothing to do with you. It's my problem. You are very good, better than any man I've ever met."
Gu Chenge lowered his eyes, concealing a hint of pleasure, his voice still somewhat deep: "So it's not my fault, but rather that you like me too much and don't want to drag me down with you, is that right?"
That's a lot...
Wu Xiaoxiao's heart raced, and she didn't know how to answer.
Gu Chenge suddenly raised his head, staring directly at her face: "I want to hear the truth, is that alright?"
Wu Xiaoxiao was startled. Gradually, her expression became unnatural, and she didn't know where to look. Her hand under the table slowly clenched into a fist.
Gu Chenge didn't urge her.
He had finally managed to see her today, and he didn't want her to retreat back into her shell again, leaving him unable to find her.
Wu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists; her heart was pounding as fast as she was nervous.
Does his question mean he still cares about her and wants her to be honest with him?
That's what I thought at the time.
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke her heart.
Gu Chenge immediately seized the initiative, appearing increasingly at ease: "Why did you come on a blind date? Is it to forget me and start over?"
Wu Xiaoxiao's expression froze.
The moment she saw him, she was really afraid he would just leave.
When the person behind the Wu family falls from power, the Wu family suffers as well. Once they are too busy to take care of themselves, she will be free. If she wants to start a new life, she can leave this city.
She met him in this city. Although their relationship was short, it brought her a lot of joy and happiness. If it weren't for him, she would have left long ago.
She's here just to be closer to him.
Because there's always a voice in my heart saying that maybe if I stay, I can still catch a glimpse of him from afar.
She stayed.
Seeing that she had been silent for too long, Gu Chenge couldn't help but interrupt her thoughts: "Is it hard to answer?"
Wu Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and stared blankly at him: "No, I came here to repay a favor, I didn't plan to go on a blind date. If it weren't for you, I would have made things clear to the other person immediately."
Gu Chenge raised an eyebrow: "Now this person is me. Would you be willing to go on a blind date with me?"
Wu Xiaoxiao: "..."
How was she supposed to respond to that?
Gu Chenge suddenly sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "Miss Wu, as a blind date, let's get to know each other again."
Wu Xiaoxiao was stunned. What was he doing?
Gu Chenge began to introduce himself: "I am Gu Chenge, from the capital city. I am the second child in my family. My current profession needs to be kept confidential due to relevant regulations, but I guarantee with my life that it is absolutely legal, legitimate, and enviable."
When Wu Xiaoxiao met his sincere gaze, a flutter of emotion welled up in her heart.
At this moment, Gu Chenge continued, "As long as you marry me, as long as I live, I will absolutely protect you with my life. If anyone bullies you or wrongs you, I will break their legs."
Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly. Why did they suddenly start talking about marriage?
Also, wouldn't he be punished for breaking someone's leg?
