Gu Qichen’s thoughts returned to the moment of the proposal.

When Shen Manbing leaned in for a kiss, Gu Qichen was caught off guard for a second. He then gently pushed her away and said: “I’m sorry, Manbing, I’m already married.”

Its just that the atmosphere at the time was too passionate, and the cheers around them climbed higher, accompanied by the wedding march played intentionally by the banquet hall band.

His voice was almost drowned in the sea of excited noises.

That was followed by countless congratulations and well-wishes.

Eventually, the media took a few photos out of context and reported them arbitrarily.

Gu Qichen wasn’t a part of the entertainment industry, so he paid little mind to these rumors and scandals, especially when most of the news was suppressed by Shen Shichuan.

As of now, Shen Manbing had not clarified the situation either. As a superstar, it would no doubt damage her reputation. Gu Qichen could understand that.

Gu Qichen’s gaze darkened slightly. He said to Shen Shichuan: “You should talk to Manbing. She used to be someone who knew when to let go. It must have been her who intentionally attracted the Lake Bay media, right? I told her I was married a long time ago, but she stubbornly set up this proposal, gambling with my reluctance to hurt her. I don’t want to hurt her, but I care about not hurting Yangyang more.”

A stunning beauty with waterfall-like long hair was reclining on the sofa.

The light from the crystal lamp hit her beautiful face, giving it a faint halo.

However, the beautiful woman’s brows were deeply furrowed at this moment.

Shen Shichuan placed a recorder in front of her.

Clearly emanating from the recorder was Gu Qichen’s voice: “I don’t want to hurt her, but I care about not hurting Yangyang more…”

The beauty took the recorder, replaying the phrase over and over again.

Until her fingers turned white from gripping it, she then threw the recorder away with force.

The recorder smashed into the liquor cabinet inside the room, leaving an instant web of cracks on the glass.

Shen Shichuan was leaning against the couch: “If you hadn’t heard it firsthand, you would probably still be clinging on to hope. Let it go, Xiao Bing, Ah Chen is not the same as before. At this point, you should also let go.”

Shen Manbing’s body trembled: “I can’t bear it. From childhood until now, I’ve been the only woman by his side. Why would he change his heart so easily?”

“It’s precisely because Ah Chen never had any serious romantic feelings for any woman, that I believe he’s truly in love with that girl now. You said you dated him for many years, yet you never had passionate feelings for each other, both of you are extremely busy and sometimes you wouldn’t even see each other for half a year, and both of you saw that as normal. Honestly, even me as his brother, doesn’t consider you two as a couple. He and I both see you as a sister, taking care of and cherishing you out of habit. But that’s not love. But it’s different with Xia Yangyang.”

Hearing this, Shen Manbing felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

There were things, even her brother didn’t know about.

She was publicly known to be with Gu Qichen for so many years, but they were never truly together.

Gu Qichen was always cold and aloof, uninterested in close physical contact, and this extended to everyone including her.

Even the casual act of holding hands would make him reflexively furrow his brows.

They hadn’t even kissed in all those years, let alone any intimate contacts.

She had tried taking the initiative, but he always brushed her off casually.

She had always suspected that he was a severe neurotic with a cleanliness obsession, already beyond the point of recall..
