Chapter 137: Reject in Public
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Lian looked at Yun Shu’s work and felt that this person was ridiculously stupid.
She could complete an artwork in three years and use this to express her love, but she could not find the time to return to China.
Now, she still had the face to openly force his mother to allow her on stage in front of everyone! Moreover, this land of work was clearly intended to slap Mo Yu’s face. If he accepted it, wouldn’t it prove that the relationship between him and Mo Yu was all fake?
Thinking of this, Gu Lian could not help but look up at Mo Yu’s expression.
After the show ended, she went to the side stage and was standing beside Su Mei. However, the expression on her face was not jealousy or embarrassment as Gu Lian had thought. Instead, she looked expectant, as if she was watching an irrelevant farce.
“Xiao Yu, do you think I should accept this gift?” Gu Lian didn’t even know why he felt unhappy when he saw Mo Yu’s expression. He simply called Mo Yu in his heart and tried to ask for her opinion.
“Take it. This ornament can be placed in the house of Jade Water Garden. Put this thing in the middle of the fountain. How beautiful!” Mo Yu did not realize that there was something wrong with Gu Lian’s tone at all. She was still excitedly planning where this thing could be placed.
When Gu Lian heard Mo Yu’s answer, his mind was filled with the scene of this piece being placed on the fountain, the water spewing out of his mouth.
Gu Lian shivered and threw this terrifying thought out of his mind. However, he felt even more humiliated.
He was now being confessed to in a high-profile manner by Mo Yu’s competitor with a gift. Not only was Mo Yu not jealous, but she also encouraged Gu Lian to accept this gift.
Gu Lian felt as if he had been insulted, but he could not find any evidence.
Yun Shu was observing Gu Lian’s expression from the corner of his eyes.
It was true that she had designed this piece for three years, but the reason why it took so long was entirely because she worked for three days and rested for two. She only truly started working on it was on the day she begged her parents to bring her to visit the Gu family but was forcefully taken away.
Yun Shu had always thought that Gu Lian still had feelings for her. The coldness he had shown her during this period of time was only because he was angry with her. As long as she expressed her feelings for Gu Lian at this exhibition and gave him such a carefully made gift, Gu Lian would definitely forgive her.
As Yun Shu observed Gu Lian’s expression, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, Gu Lian’s expression should be surprised, delighted, and touched. Then, he would accept the gift and announce in front of everyone that she was the love of Gu Lian’s life, right?
Why was Gu Lian’s expression getting uglier and uglier? Even the veins on his forehead were about to pop out.
The people watching the show and watching the live broadcast also realized that something was wrong. President Gu had not reacted for so long. Did this gift touch President Gu’s heart or was there something wrong?
Some rustling sounds finally sounded in the venue. Many people were discussing with their friends if Gu Lian would accept this gift or not. They even started a bet.
The discussion was getting more and more intense.
“Brother Gu Lian.” Yun Shu looked at Gu Lian. She tried hard to squeeze out some tears to make her eyes red, making her look even weaker and more pitiful.
“Brother Gu Lian, do you not like the gift I gave you? Or do you no longer have any feelings for me?”
Gu Lian took another deep breath and forced himself to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Then, he turned his head slightly and met Yun Shu’s eyes.
“Miss Yun Shu, I thought I’ve expressed myself clearly enough last time, but you don’t seem to understand what I mean.” Gu Lian was expressionless. His temperament was no longer as warm and calm as before. Instead, it was replaced by a powerful pressure.
“I explicitly rejected you and expressed that my fiancee, and even my wife, will only be Mo Yu. At that time, I might have expressed it too tactfully, so you misunderstood. Then, I’ll express to you again that I don’t have any feelings going farther than friendship towards you. Also, if you use love as an excuse to morally kidnap my family next time, then there will be no more relationship between us..”
