Chapter 151: Not Welcomed
Qin Ruo seemed not to notice the gazes of the people around her. She scanned the crowd, found Gu He's position, and walked straight towards him.
When Gu He saw Qin Ruo approaching, he frowned and took a step closer to Yun Ran without leaving a trace.
"Heh." Qin Ruo smiled lazily. After being exposed, she no longer had to pretend to be well-behaved. It was a brand new and comfortable experience.
She casually picked up a glass of wine and raised it towards Gu He: "Brother He, what are you afraid of? I can't eat her in public."
She said this in a low voice, and everyone nearby heard it, and the look of inquiry in their eyes became even stronger.
Gu He still stood in front of Yun Ran, his voice slightly lowered: "What do you want to do now?"
Qin Ruo sighed: "Brother He, you are so heartless. It's been a long time since we have been able to stand together and talk in such a calm manner. I miss you. Can't I come to see you?"
Gasps were heard from the crowd.
Gu He's face darkened even further. He grabbed Qin Ruo and dragged her a few steps to the side, lowering his voice: "Do you really have to be so undignified and let others laugh at you?"
Qin Ruo pretended to be confused: "I just said a few truths, why is it so unbecoming?"
Gu He: "Have you forgotten that our engagement has not been cancelled yet? If you make a scene like this, how will others view our two families and what will they say about Ran Ran?"
Qin Ruo sighed, "It's for Yun Ran."
She shook her head: "But I think you are real, and I can't control my instinct to get closer to you."
"If you think that I'm embarrassing you by following my heart, then I can't help it."
Gu He gritted his teeth and said, "You have to force me to announce the cancellation of the engagement immediately before you can live in peace, right?"
Qin Ruo: "I didn't say that. If you insist on thinking and doing this, I can't stop you."
"But Brother He, announcing the cancellation of the engagement now will have a significant impact on the Gu family, right? Furthermore, after you brought Yun Ran to the banquet so publicly and everyone knew about your close relationship with her, do you think many people would speculate that you canceled the engagement so that I could make room for Yun Ran?"
"The mistress taking over... Tsk, that sounds interesting."
"Ran Ran is not a mistress!" Gu He's expression was completely broken. He no longer had any of his previous gentleness towards Qin Ruo. He was filled with anger at her for blaming him for something else. "If you insist on doing this and making things difficult for everyone, I don't mind issuing a statement to explain the reason for our engagement."
"Okay, go ahead." Qin Ruo didn't care. "As I said before, if you're so eager to cover up something new, how many people will believe it?"
"And the engagement was for cooperation, but now you're willfully breaking off the engagement early, disregarding the company's development. Don't you think that's inconsistent?"
Gu He: “…”
His chest heaved up and down, and he was held in place by Qin Ruo, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Qin Ruo looked at him with a smile for a while, sighed helplessly, and raised her hand to try to pat his shoulder.
Gu He dodged subconsciously. Qin Ruo paused, then quickly smiled helplessly. She took a step forward, and her palm finally fell stubbornly on Gu He's shoulder.
"Forget it. Seeing you like this, I feel bad too." Qin Ruo shook her head. "Since you don't like me so much, I won't bother you anymore."
"But before that, I have to say hello to Yun Ran. We've been interacting for so long, so this little courtesy is a must."
