Chapter 12: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (2)
Rong Jing felt a fire burning in his heart, making him unable to suppress those crazy thoughts.
He looked at Le Yan and nodded without hesitation, saying, "Yes, just this afternoon, he confessed to me, and we got together."
When it comes to dating, Leyan doesn't feel shy at all.
Because she genuinely didn't feel there was anything to be ashamed of; it wasn't like she was dating several people at once, and besides, this was her first love!
Looking at Le Yan's expression, Rong Jing suddenly asked, "Are you with him because you like him?"
He had known Leyan since she was fifteen, and after seven years, he knew her very well. As soon as he saw her like this, he knew something was wrong.
He couldn't see a trace of affection in her eyes; such a detached attitude shouldn't belong to someone in love.
Leyan's answer confirmed his thoughts.
She said, "Actually, I wouldn't call it liking him. It's just that he happened to confess to me, and he seemed like a nice person, so I started dating him."
To be honest, Leyan has never understood why someone could love another person so deeply.
She has always been curious about how people who are deeply in love fall in love, and what they love about each other.
Because in her twenty-two years of life, she had never felt any attraction to anyone, let alone like or even love them.
She accepted Gu Yunting's confession for two reasons: first, he was a good person; second, she wouldn't lose out.
That's all there is.
To put it bluntly, she's like she's playing house; she might want to quit when she's had enough.
Rong Jing listened silently to her words, analyzing her psychology, and then punched the wall in deep regret.
Given Le Yan's "anyone will do, it doesn't matter" attitude, if he had made a move on the day he returned, Gu Yunting would have been out of the picture!
Unfortunately, he didn't seize the opportunity at the time, while Gu Yunting later surpassed him.
Remembering what Le Yan had said before, and seeing her very assertive behavior, Rong Jing knew that unless he took forceful measures now, nothing would work.
Because Leyan doesn't care about feelings, she only cares about order. Whoever confesses first, she'll accept. Her rationality is hurtful.
But if he forces it...
"Senior? What are you thinking about?"
Le Yan suddenly shivered, only then realizing that she had been sitting by the door the whole time. She quickly got up and called out to Rong Jing, who seemed to be lost in thought for some reason.
Rong Jing smiled faintly and shook his head: "I wasn't thinking about anything, I just felt—"
"President Gu is quite lucky."
He even sent people to block the traffic, but that bastard still managed to carry out his plan. What a useless piece of trash.
As for useless people, they are not qualified to discuss cooperation with them anymore.
“Miss Jiang, as I said, only if things succeed can your brother be saved.”
Unfortunately, you failed.
A cold voice came from the phone, its mechanical nature making it seem even more ruthless.
In the ward, Jiang Wandie sat by the window, staring blankly at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, her face expressionless.
"I see."
With those four simple words, she hung up the phone.
She didn't know who the person on the other end was.
But she knew why the other party had approached her.
Jiang Wandie slightly curved her lips into a smile, but her eyes remained vacant.
At first, she thought that Gu Yunting was an enemy in the business world, and that she was asked to seduce Gu Yunting in order to steal trade secrets through a honey trap.
Now, the honey trap is still used, but the answer is not in the business arena, but in the battle for love.
The target, naturally, is that kind-hearted girl.
Her empty eyes gradually focused, a trace of warmth emerged, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks. Jiang Wandie lowered her eyes and smiled gently.
like ... ...
I love it so much...

At the end of the second-floor corridor of the You family home, You Wenwen was still being held in solitary confinement.
She was both annoyed and angry. That damned Gu Yunting, all he did was complain to her father!
"Are you still angry?"
Mrs. You opened the door and came in, carrying a cup of hot milk. Seeing You Wenwen's still angry back, she couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"Mom, where's Dad? Can you ask him to let me out? Mommy~" As soon as she saw her mother come in, You Wenwen immediately hugged her arm and started to act cute.
Mrs. You put down the milk, poked her forehead in an annoyed tone, and said, "No, you're staying home right now and you're not allowed to go see Gu Yunting anymore."
They spoiled their daughter too much. They knew that the marriage between the Gu family and the You family was between the eldest son of the Gu family and their daughter, but because their daughter only had eyes for Gu Yunting and the eldest son of the Gu family was away from home every year, they thought that if their daughter and Gu Yunting could get together, it might be better than the eldest son of the Gu family.
Therefore, he has always allowed his daughter to contact Gu Yunting without explaining the engagement to her. As a result, his daughter still believes that Gu Yunting is her fiancé.
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. You decided to tell the truth, "Wenwen, I have something to tell you, but don't be too shocked."
"Actually, your fiancé is not Gu Yunting, but Gu Yunting's rarely seen older brother."
" ... ... ah?"
Yu Wenwen had several question marks above her head, and her mind was filled with one question: "Gu Yunting has an older brother?"
No, she's never heard of it either!
Mrs. You was really surprised by her reaction. She was stunned for a moment before she quickly said, "He has always been there. You saw him when you were little, but you stopped seeing him later."
You Wenwen frowned and subconsciously replied, "Who remembers things from when we were little?"
She paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Wait! No matter who the engagement is with, Mom, I want to break off the engagement with the Gu family!"
Forget about Gu Yunting, who's the eldest son of the Gu family. He has her precious Leyan, okay?
Damn it, she's been locked up for over half a month. Could it be that Leyan has already fallen into Gu Gou's clutches?!
The more she thought about it, the more urgent the situation seemed. You Wenwen grabbed her mother's arm and shook it, "Mom~ Mommy~ I don't like Gu Yunting anymore, and I have no feelings for that Boss Gu either. Please help me break off the engagement?"
She told her parents to break off the engagement, and then she took the contract to Leyan Baby.
She'll definitely dig into this corner!
After a moment of silence, Mrs. You couldn't help but reach out and touch You Wenwen's forehead. "She doesn't have a fever..."
Given You Wenwen's past obsession with Gu Yunting, her mother really didn't believe what she was saying now.
You Wenwen regretted her past lack of foresight once again, and she wailed, "Mommy, I'm serious!"
"Impossible, you like Gu Yunting so much." Mother You said firmly, "She doesn't like him anymore, that's not like my daughter who's obsessed with love."
You Wenwen's lips twitched, and she retorted defiantly, "Because I've fallen for someone else!"
"... ... Huh?" Even Mrs. You wondered if she was hallucinating.
You Wenwen said with utmost seriousness, "I'm telling you, I've fallen for someone else, and I really don't like Gu Yunting anymore."
"You're really not joking?" Mother You's eyes were already smiling. That's good. It's no big deal if she takes a fancy to someone else and wants to break off the engagement. It's much better than her being obsessed with Gu Yunting.
Her smile had barely blossomed when she heard her good daughter, who had pulled herself back from the brink, declare loudly and firmly, "I've fallen in love with a girl, and I'm going to marry her!"
"boom"
Mrs. You's smile froze, and Mr. You, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, stumbled in.
After a brief silence, the You couple spoke in unison: "Actually, Gu Yunting is quite nice!"
