"Um...actually, my relationship with Han Chen is just so-so," Feng Guang quickly denied, adding, "Gu Lan said that because he misunderstood!"
Han Chen smiled and said, "Really?"
“Of course it’s true!” Then she recounted what happened next.
The atmosphere in the hall fell silent the moment Gu Lan said that Feng Guang and Han Chen were actually together.
Mu Jin stared blankly at Han Chen, then asked in a daze, "President, is what Gu Lan said true?"
"Well..."
Upon hearing Han Chen's smiling words, Feng Guang tensed up and quickly replied, "Of course it's fake!"
Han Chen said with some regret, "Since Miss Xia says it's fake, then it's fake."
No, what he said would be completely misleading!
Feng Guang glared at him angrily, wanting to slap him across the face, but considering she couldn't beat him, she gave up.
Gu Lan sneered, "I saw you two behaving so intimately with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
"Intimate gestures?" Feng Guang sneered. "Gu Lan, can you explain yourself clearly? Wasn't it because I was about to fall that Han Chen grabbed my hand?"
"I grabbed your hand because you were about to fall? Xia Fengguang, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
"Oh, if that's not the reason, then tell me, what's the reason behind your habit of grabbing people's wrists when you talk to them?" Feng Guang blinked innocently. "Do you think that talking like that better highlights your aura as the crown prince of the Gu family?"
If we're talking about someone who loves to hold a girl's hand while talking to her, in order to show off how cool and domineering they are, then Gu Lan is definitely the one.
Gu Lan's face stiffened for a moment. He realized he had this bad habit, but he was also troubled. He didn't understand why he would do this every time he talked to a girl.
Gu Lan would never understand, because this was his standard portrayal as a male protagonist in romance novels, a standard portrayal that made him seem wicked, cool, domineering, and arrogant.
"If I think about it carefully, ever since we got engaged, it seems like you always hold my hand and talk to me when you're emotional. If we follow your way of thinking..." Feng Guang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "then should I also assume that there's something between you and me?"
Gu Lan immediately shouted, "Xia Fengguang, stop talking nonsense! My engagement with you was arranged by my parents, and I have never accepted it!"
"But you've never refused in public, have you?"
"That's because I haven't met the right person yet..."
Feng Guang interrupted him directly, "You haven't met someone you like yet, so you can casually get engaged to a girl. When you meet someone you like, you'll break off the engagement. If you don't meet someone, you'll just casually get together with your fiancée. Gu Lan, is that what you're thinking?"
Gu Lan was speechless.
Han Chen spoke up leisurely, "Gu Lan is willing to break off the engagement for the person he likes. He is indeed a responsible and dependable man."
Gu Lan's face turned ashen. It would be strange if he didn't realize that the words were so obviously sarcastic!
Feng Guang chuckled and said, "Yes, it's because Young Master Gu is so wonderful that I feel unworthy of you. So, I agreed to your request to dissolve the engagement. However... I'll have to trouble you to explain things to the elders. I think since Young Master Gu was able to say he wanted to dissolve the engagement in front of so many people, his determination is extraordinary, and he certainly won't disappoint Mu Jin."
In other words, if Gu Lan cannot break off this engagement, then he is a coward.
