Chapter 43 Qin Ruo Likes You
So from the very beginning, Gu He never thought of restraining Yun Ran.
He respected her, treated her well, and hoped to make her become more and more like the Qin Qing in his memory.
Since he chose to do this, if he wanted to keep Yun Ran for a long time, he could only hide the real reason why he "liked" Yun Ran.
He must not let her know that he was with her because of Qin Qing.
Yun Ran is also stubborn at heart. If he knew that he was someone else's substitute, he would definitely not agree.
Gu He has always been very careful and has never shown similar tendencies. Even when he sometimes couldn't help but mistake her for Qin Qing, he quickly concealed his true emotions.
When it was suddenly exposed and pointed out by Yun Ran, Gu He's first reaction was panic, and denial became almost an instinct.
Yun Ran took a step closer and leisurely studied Gu He's expression. "You didn't treat me as a stand-in, so why are you so obsessed with whether I imitate Qin Qing?"
Gu He quickly thought of the answer: "I just don't want anyone to disturb Qingqing!"
"Is that so..." Yun Ran looked at him for a long time, until his scalp tingled, and then nodded, "Then I believe you."
After hearing this, Gu He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could even relax, Yun Ran moved on to the next topic: "However, Qin Ruo admitted that she likes you."
Gu He hurriedly said: "I only regard her as a sister, I don't have any other feelings!"
Yun Ran: "Before you didn't know what she was thinking, you could certainly love her as a sister, but now that it's clear that she likes you, what are your plans?"
Gu He was speechless and couldn't answer in such a short time.
Yun Ran had known this would happen, and said mercilessly, "You look at me like this, so could it be that you already knew she liked you?"
"No! I don't know."
"So you're keeping silent, are you trying to pretend you don't know and continue getting along as before?"
Gu He was silent this time.
"Heh." Yun Ran shook his head and smiled, "Even though you know that someone likes you and can't live without you, you still keep her by your side, treat her well, and hold her at the top of your heart."
"Gu He, why would you even want a girlfriend? You might as well just be with Qin Ruo. It'll be the perfect opportunity for her to finally fulfill her long-cherished wish."
"Don't talk nonsense." Gu He's face turned pale. "I really don't have any other thoughts. It's just that Ruoruo...is different from others. I can't alienate her for such a reason."
"I see." Yun Ran understood. "No wonder she targeted me everywhere, even going so far as to act in front of you to frame me, and then having no choice but to pretend to admit her mistakes and apologize to me."
"You gave her hope that she might be able to have a happy ending. She's always been convinced that one day she'd be with you. That's why she's hostile to all the women around you, and especially to me, your girlfriend."
"However," Yun Ran narrowed his eyes. "From what Wei Luo said, Qin Ruo has had feelings for you for a long time. Seeing you and Qin Qing being so affectionate before, can she really remain calm?"
Gu He couldn't bear to hear this and interrupted Yun Ran before she finished speaking: "Don't speculate. Ruoruo respects Qingqing as her sister very much and will definitely not harm Qingqing."
"Really?" Yun Ran looked at him. "But I heard that Qin Ruo and Qin Qing don't have a good relationship. Many people have heard rumors of a feud between them. You insist that they get along harmoniously. Is that true, or are you deliberately biased?"
