“I’m not done talking yet! I don’t wanna keep acting like a fool, or else I will definitely stifle myself to death!”
Gu Zhengrong’s lips pursed into a tight line over her loss of control on her emotions.
He was very unhappy with her action today.
“Tang Xiaoyu!”
“What?! Are you afraid that I will wake up your beloved woman? Hur hur...”
She scoffed with ridicule at the way he shot her cold glare.
Originally, she thought that she should not be jealous of her best friend and that she did not have the right to be jealous.
Everything was her doing, yet when this day finally came, and she saw the man she loved protect her best friend merely after one meeting while not caring a whit about her to the extent of reprimanding her openly, she felt as though a thousand of needles were pricking her heart, making her hurt so much that she was about to lose her rationality.
With the din they were making, the soundly sleeping woman frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, Pei Ge spotted her best friend standing by the bedside with red eyes and seemed to be on the verge of crying.
“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong? Why are you about to cry?”
Her expression was so sorrowful that she felt heartache for the other.
“Ge Ge...”
Tears filled with anguish and heartache leaked from the other woman’s face the moment she heard her voice.
Just like a little kid who had gotten bullied and saw an ally, her sobbing turned into a full-blown wailing.
Still slightly groggy from sleep, the woman in bed panicked at once when the other started crying so piteously.
She struggled to sit up, but probably due to having slept asleep for too long, her body seemed to lack strength. Thus, she had to expend quite a bit of effort just to sit up on the bed.
Seeing how hard it was for her to sit up, the man could not resist reaching out to help her sit up.
“Be careful; move slower.”
She only noticed then that another person was actually in the ward!
“Who are you?” Her gaze was guarded and hostile. “Did you make Xiaoyu cry?! What did you do to her?!”
She instantly slapped his hand away and regarded him coldly.
The man felt his heart ache at her hostile and guarded look. The usual confidence and calmness he was currently nowhere to be found.
Gone was his business elite aura, and in lieu, there was a fresh college graduate facing his crush, appearing lost and panicked.
“I...” He wanted to tell the woman his name—who he was and... what kind of connection they had.
Alas, when he opened his mouth to speak, he found himself unable to say anything under her cold and hostile gaze.
This was truly... too shoddy.
He took a deep breath and moved to speak, but his girlfriend beat him to it this time.
“Ge Ge, he’s the person I told you about before: my boyfriend, Gu Zhengrong.”
His face instantly darkened the moment the latter said that and he looked at her with complexity.
That was because he knew that once such a label was attached to him, he would no longer have any chance with Pei Ge...
That was the case once he was established as Tang Xiaoyu’s boyfriend before everyone’s eyes.
“B-Boyfriend?”
Pei Ge blinked in surprise at the man’s identity.
Isn’t Xiaoyu’s boyfriend busy with work and can’t make it?
Only then did she finally turn to regard the man at her bedside seriously.
The man before her seemed to be in his early thirties. With the air-conditioner in the ward being switched on, the man placed his coat casually on the sofa. Regardless, it was still neatly placed.
It could be seen that the man was a perfectionist in certain areas with deeply ingrained attention to detail.
Right now, with his coat off, the man was only wearing a white shirt. He probably felt warm as his shirt was slightly open, revealing a patch of healthy tanned skin.
From his skin tone and body structure visible through his white shirt, she could tell that he liked working out usually and had a healthy lifestyle.
As this man was her best friend’s boyfriend, she meticulously sized him up.
She openly stared at him, not knowing this was making the latter’s heart pound crazily.
Deep and dark eyes, high and distinct nose bridge, tightly pursed lips...
Breaking these features apart, the man’s looks were not exceptional, but combined, his appearance seemed to be a carefully crafted product by the gods, causing one to be unable to shift their gaze away from him.
Er... My best friend’s boyfriend isn’t shabby at all. Our Xiaoyu has good taste, huh! She thought inwardly once she was done analyzing the man’s features.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Seeing that a certain someone’s expression was about to give way, Tang Xiaoyu tightly pursed her lips and swept her gaze across the man before she looked at the woman in bed. She then coughed loudly.
This cough made the other realize that she had actually been staring at her best friend’s boyfriend for too long.
“Are you done inspecting him? How is it? Is my boyfriend quite a looker?”
Her best friend grinned at her in a voice filled with endless joy and smugness.
If not for her eyes still being a little red and watery, she would have forgotten that the other woman had been crying moments ago!
“Xiaoyu, why were you crying earlier? Also, I seem to have heard you mention me...”
