Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Qing originally thought that the marriage alliance with the Gu family was also her grandfather’s idea. If she stubbornly refused, it would definitely hurt her grandfather’s heart. However, in reality, her grandfather had always stood on her side. She did not need to worry about anything else.

Thinking about how she had asked Gu Cheng humbly today and how she had threatened him after she not knowing how she had offended him, Fang Qing felt relieved.

After Fang Qing ran out, Gu Cheng pushed everything off his desk in a fit of anger and tried his best to vent his anger.

After a while, Gu Cheng came back to his senses and pinched his brows as he looked at the mess on the floor.

What was wrong with him?

Should he not have known from the start that all of this was just three months of interaction? Should he not have stopped thinking about Fang Qing from the moment he found out that she was not that girl?

However, things were not going according to plan, so naturally, his feelings were not in his control as well.

Gu Cheng smashed his fist on the solid wood desk. His fist was red as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Are you free tonight?” Even though Gu Cheng asked the other party, he still used a commanding tone, scaring Ren Heng, who was on the other end of the phone, to immediately let go of the girl in his arms. The girl was shocked by this sudden action. She clenched her fists and hammered Ren Heng’s chest with a soft groan.

Of course, Gu Cheng heard this. He was familiar with Ren Heng’s personality, which had attracted a lot of attention since he was young. He only coughed unhappily and said, “Although I’m sorry to disturb you, let go of what you’re doing first. I have something to ask you.”

When Ren Heng heard this, he was immediately shocked. Every time Gu Cheng had something to ask him and wanted to talk to him alone, nothing good came out of it. He had played with Gu Cheng since he was young. Even if he went to study abroad, he would still be his study partner.

However, his personality was naturally lively and lively. Compared to Gu Cheng’s calmness, he obviously had more friends. He also had more fun in the social circle of international students.

However, Gu Cheng was deeply trusted by his parents because he was mature and steady since he was young. Every time he had something to discuss with him, nothing good would happen. If he did not agree to help him, he would use the old-fashioned method of threatening to sue Ren Heng, even though he was protected by him, he was also protected from a lot of discrimination and harassment when he was studying abroad.

Therefore, Ren Heng had developed a conditioned reflex. Whenever Gu Cheng said that he wanted to talk to him alone, he would inexplicably panic.

They met up in the Muse cafe at night.

Ren Heng watched as Gu Cheng continued to pour down one glass of wine after another. He did not know where to place his hands.

When Gu Cheng was half-drunk, his face was slightly red. He narrowed his eyes and asked Ren Heng, “Do you think that my conditions are very poor?”

Ren Heng widened his eyes. “No… no. If your conditions are considered poor, then no one in the country is good enough.” After saying that, he felt that something was wrong and added, “No one in the country is good enough either!”

After hearing his words, Gu Cheng laughed self-deprecatingly. “Then why does she want to run away from me?”

Only then did Ren Heng slap his head and remember. Recently, the person who could make brother Gu feel emotional anxiety was none other than Fang Qing!

Knowing that Gu Cheng was now troubled by love, his personality of being a good teacher in matters of love was displayed. Ren Heng immediately put away his timid and humble attitude and straightened his back. “This woman, there are usually two reasons why she doesn’t like you.”

Gu Cheng’s interest was piqued and he raised his eyes to look at him.

Ren Heng looked at Gu Cheng’s humble and educated appearance and was very pleased. He silently cursed in his heart, “I didn’t expect you to have such a day.” Then, he proudly said, “The first reason is that you are not good yourself. For example, you are ugly, have a bad personality, are poor, and have a lot of things to do…”

In the next minute, Ren Heng told Gu Cheng almost all the shortcomings of men. Gu Cheng was annoyed when he heard his jabber in his ear but did not get to the main point. “What does this have to do with me?”

Ren Heng finally reacted and smiled obsequiously. “Of course it has nothing to do with you.” Then he said, “The second reason is the way you talk to her is wrong.”

Ren Heng asked Gu Cheng seriously again, “You have to tell the truth. Do you like Fang Qing?”

Gu Cheng put down his wine glass. “I don’t know either. I just don’t want her to leave.”

“What? Fang Qing is leaving?” This matter was obviously more serious than Ren Heng had imagined.

The next night, Muse was as noisy as usual, and Ren Heng was also noisy in Gu Cheng’s ears the whole night.

It was said that people who fell in love were blind. As a person who often helped Ren Heng correct his mistakes, Gu Cheng really listened.

Meanwhile, the Wen family, which had been quiet for several days, was also brewing a shocking plan.
