Chapter 788: Thank You for Liking Me
“She must be crazy. When I was working at Brilliant Entertainment back then, I was just promoted from being an intern artiste manager. I hadn’t even finished schooling. I had to study and manage artistes at the same time. It wasn’t easy. I had some resources, and if I got any artistes, I had to surrender them. Whenever I had good resources, I prioritized her.”
“I know,” Gu Xie said. “That’s why I hate her.”
Lin Xiaojuan laughed rudely.
In front of her, Jing Yun boasted so much about how the Movie King liked her. She talked about how if it were not for Yang Po, Gu Xie would want to develop a beautiful romantic relationship with her. Who knew, their child could be the kind that did not have to work hard. Yet, Movie King said that he hated her.
Lin Xiaojuan felt really great.
“Xu Ning said that she was a scheming person and that we should interact less with her. She had been hinting to me several times, but I did not understand them, and I didn’t care about them. Afterward, I would look for Xu Ning directly when I had anything to settle,” Gu Xie said softly. “My interaction with her ends like this. Afterward, whenever we met in public events, we’d just give each other a nod of acknowledgment. Whenever I took a few more looks at her, it’d be because… the two of you really look alike! And the more I see it, the more I feel this way!”
Lin Xiaojuan was speechless.
Actually, Lin Xiaojuan had also found out that Jing Yun had done surgery on her eyes and nose before. Indeed, she looked more like her than before. Thinking about the reason she did so made Lin Xiaojuan feel as disgusted as accidentally swallowing a housefly.
“Trust me. There’s nothing more to this. As for dating, that’s even more out of the question,” Gu Xie said.
“I trust you,” Lin Xiaojuan said. “Gu Xie, back then, you loved me. Why didn’t you just tell me then?”
Gu Xie bit his lip and seemed like he was finding it hard to say something.
Lin Xiaojuan said, “That time, I had not dated Yan Jianming yet. I never even had any infatuation with him.”
“Do you remember when Xu Ning asked you what you were working so hard for and you said to earn? He asked you jokingly about how people your age prefer to date, yet you said you had no interest in dating. You only wanted to make money,” Gu Xie said. “I was thinking back then that you were so young and your career was not peaking. I wanted to wait for you to be more successful and more confident before I tried.”
Who knew that Yan Jianming had gotten her before he did.
There was also another very important reason that he did not mention.
That time, his eldest brother had just passed away, and Ghost City was rather chaotic. The ‘brothers’ were all feeling insecure, and he was very down. He was dealing with a lot of negative emotions like anger and disappointment. He suspected that his own brother was the murderer, and he almost went desperate. For two years, he was in a bad mood. When he came out of his situation, she already belonged to someone else.
“You should’ve just told me.” Lin Xiaojuan mumbled.
“What?”
Lin Xiaojuan’s face was red. She wanted to shake her head and claim that she did not say anything, but she said softly, “You should’ve told me.”
“???” Gu Xie stared at her.
Lin Xiaojuan said, “If you had told me, would Yan Jianming ever be in my life?”
Anyone with a brain and a pair of eyes would pick Gu Xie over Yan Jianming!
“It was my fault,” Gu Xie said. “I noticed it too. That was why when you guys broke up, I couldn’t wait to make you mine. I wanted to date you.”
Lin Xiaojuan was speechless.
He really amazed the world with one small action!
Until now, she was still thinking about how confused she was when Gu Xie pulled her over and introduced her as his fiancée.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Lin Xiaojuan’s ears began to turn red. She noticed that someone had been fancying her for so many years and that she was unknowing about it.
He fancied her so, so much.
“Gu Xie, thank you.”
Thank you for liking me so much, and thank you for being determined on having this crush that seemed to offer a dim future. Finally, we got what we wished for.
