Before she could reply, what came next made her hold her breath.
Gu Hong typed: "Many things that have happened recently, the things that have happened to you, the things that have been targeted and talked about, and even the things that have been bullied, are all rooted in me."
"I'm sorry, I didn't handle some real-world problems well and they dragged you into this."
He sincerely apologized, took responsibility, and continued typing.
"I think it's necessary for me to introduce myself frankly and openly, so that you can get to know me better."
"My real name is Ling Chen, and I am currently the manager of the Ling Group. This information can be found online."
"Because of some psychological trauma, it is also difficult for me to speak in real life. It is not that I am deliberately indifferent."
"The Qingcheng Yue who harassed me in the game before is Liu Xiaoxiao from the Liu Group."
“My family had intended to arrange a marriage, but I have clearly refused and terminated all related intentions.”
“I have absolutely no relationship with her, or with any other woman, that goes beyond business cooperation or ordinary social interaction.”
He revealed his identity, his biggest flaw, and the marriage issue that was most likely to cause misunderstandings without reservation.
Finally, it was his deepest and most direct desire.
Gu Hong continued typing: "I'm not telling you this to put pressure on you or to show off."

"I think about now, in the future, and beyond."

Are you trying to find love online now?
All the previous hesitation and anxiety, and the fear of being exposed and ruined, seemed to melt away at this moment with their honest and sincere interactions.

Ling Chen almost held his breath.
But the next second, he saw another line of additional conditions.
"But since it's our first meeting, could Yaoguang and Letian be there too? I might be less nervous with them around."
Should Ling Wei and that man be included as well?
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
He felt no displeasure; on the contrary, he was overjoyed and grateful that she had finally agreed.
"Okay, that's only right."
"Thank you for agreeing to my request."
"Tell me the time and place once you've decided, and I'm available anytime."
