Chapter 1009
Short-sighted
What Gu Mingchuan least wants to hear right now is that Bai Susu has no feelings for him anymore, and deep down, he doesn't want to believe it either.
However, Su Lingyi and Li Meijia kept bringing up this matter, which Gu Mingchuan found very unacceptable. He found it hard to accept their words and even felt a sting in his heart.
He looked at Su Lingyi and Li Meijia and said, "You two get out of here right now, don't bother me!"
After hearing Gu Mingchuan's cold and heartless words, Su Lingyi stood there heartbroken, tears streaming down her face. She had said everything she needed to say, and now all that remained was sadness. Li Meijia, meanwhile, kept comforting her.
Bai Susu thought that she had made things very clear to Gu Mingchuan when she met him last time, and that he would not bother her anymore. She did not expect that when she saw Gu Mingchuan again today, he still had such feelings for her.
Bai Susu looked at Gu Mingchuan and said, "Gu Mingchuan, I made things very clear last time. There is no possibility between us anymore. Don't keep pestering me like this. It won't do either of us any good!"
After hearing Bai Susu's words, Gu Mingchuan shook his head and said, "No, Susu, I know you still have feelings for me. I saw disappointment flash across your face when I said that Su Lingyi and I were boyfriend and girlfriend. And I could clearly feel your jealousy from some of your words. Why can't you face it?"
Yes, my leaving without a word back then really hurt you a lot, but I've explained everything to you. Since we know it was all a misunderstanding, why can't we give each other a chance?
After hearing Gu Mingchuan's words, Bai Susu looked at him coldly and said, "Gu Mingchuan, you've changed. You've changed so much that I don't recognize you anymore. The old you wouldn't have been so stubborn. The old Gu Mingchuan would have respected others. But now you're treating me like this, it's completely coercive. I've already said that we've missed each other and can't go back to the way things were. Why don't you believe me?"
Besides, you just said you saw disappointment on my face and sensed jealousy in my words. Let me tell you, those are just your illusions; you're just projecting these feelings onto me based on your own wishful thinking! I didn't…”
Gu Mingchuan couldn't accept what Bai Susu said. Every word Bai Susu uttered pierced Gu Mingchuan's heart. So before Bai Susu could finish speaking, Gu Mingchuan reached out and placed his hand near Bai Susu's ear with considerable force, as if he were clamping Bai Susu's head in a pincer movement, and then kissed Bai Susu.
Bai Susu was completely unprepared for Gu Mingchuan's actions. She hated the feeling of being forced and instinctively tried to break free, but how could a woman possibly break free?
Xu Bo'an, who was in the private room, had seen Bai Susu leave for a while. He was worried about what might have happened to her, and also because sitting alone in the room was rather boring, since everyone there was Bai Susu's classmate, and he didn't have much to talk about with them. So he left the room. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Bai Susu being forcibly kissed by Gu Mingchuan. Although Bai Susu and the others weren't very close to Xu Bo'an, he could clearly see the struggle on Bai Susu's face.
Xu Bo'an immediately strode forward, walked behind Gu Mingchuan, forcefully pulled Gu Mingchuan away, shielded Bai Susu behind him, and said to Gu Mingchuan, "What are you doing in public?"
Upon seeing Xu Bo'an, Gu Mingchuan sneered and said, "It's you? It's all because of you. If it weren't for your appearance, Su Su wouldn't have treated me this way. It's all because of you. You're a big liar!"
Xu Bo'an came here today at Bai Susu's invitation. Bai Susu felt it was unfair to Xu Bo'an that he was being called a liar. She felt that if she hadn't invited him, he wouldn't have been accused like this for no reason.
Before Xu Bo'an could even speak, Bai Susu said to Gu Mingchuan, "Gu Mingchuan, you'd better watch your words. Who are you calling a liar?"
Gu Mingchuan felt very sad when he heard Bai Susu defend Xu Bo'an. He said to Bai Susu, "Susu, wake up! You've been deceived by him, do you know that?"
Bai Susu said, "I've been in contact with him for quite some time now. Do you think I don't know whether I've been deceived or not? You don't need to remind me like this!"
Gu Mingchuan looked at Bai Susu with a painstaking expression and said, "Susu, when I saw you last time, you told me yourself that he was your master, and I understood. But after I got home, the more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. How could a medical graduate student from a prestigious university like you become a disciple of someone who is about the same age as us?"
I was worried he was gradually deceiving you, trying to get you, or had some other ulterior motive. That's why I specifically organized this class reunion. I never expected to see you again, and you two are actually already boyfriend and girlfriend, just as I suspected. So what's next? Susu, wake up! Don't be fooled and still be counting money for him. I don't want to see you suffer a tragic end!
Bai Susu knew her relationship with Xu Bo'an all too well. With Xu Bo'an's current abilities, if he really wanted to find beautiful women, he wouldn't need to lie at all; a whole bunch of beautiful women would want to surround him.
The reason she asked Xu Bo'an to pretend to be her boyfriend was because Bai Susu harbored special feelings for him. Although she did this today to avoid being laughed at by her classmates for being so old and still single, partly to avoid becoming gossip fodder and partly to reject any male classmates who had designs on her, it was precisely because of her feelings for Xu Bo'an that she asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have been willing!
This time, Xu Bo'an remained silent. Instead, Bai Susu spoke first to Gu Mingchuan, saying, "What? You think someone our age can't be our teacher? If that's what you think, then I can only say you're short-sighted. Let me tell you, don't underestimate Bo'an just because he's young. His expertise in the medical field is extremely profound. He's someone who once defeated a national-level master of traditional Chinese medicine! You're not allowed to say anything unpleasant to him!" (End of Chapter)
