Gu Chenan couldn't hold it in anymore.
[This is ridiculous, these female leads really have big problems!]
[Not only did Su Qianmo not call off the engagement, she's acting like she's set on me instead.]
[Liu Mingrui hasn't said anything to Lin Yu, but is still as close to me as she was back then.]
[I need to quickly cut ties with these female leads, or else that lunatic Lin Yu will definitely kill me prematurely!]
Su Qianmo? That Miss Su from the Su family?
Liu Mingrui heard Gu Chenan's thoughts and felt somewhat puzzled and shocked at the same time.
In the few days since she had returned to East Sea, she had heard quite a bit about Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo.
Rumor had it that Gu Chenan had been pursuing Su Qianmo for years, but Su Qianmo had never looked upon Gu Chenan favorably.
It was only half a year ago that, under the matchmaking of Gu and Su's elders, the two became engaged.
But the engagement was as good as nonexistent. No matter how Gu Chenan tried to please Su Qianmo, all he got in return were cold, sarcastic words.
How could Gu Chenan's thoughts now say that Su Qianmo had set herself on him?
How was that possible?
"Chenan, I heard after returning these past few days that you and Miss Su from the Su family are engaged, is it true?" Liu Mingrui asked.
"That's right, it's true," Gu Chenan nodded somewhat helplessly.
[In the original plot, Su Qianmo called off the engagement with my family, but now she hasn't brought up calling it off at all!]
[Who would want to marry her? If I marry her, Lin Yu will kill me in minutes!]
[Just thinking about it pisses me off! Utterly baffling!]
Liu Mingrui's eyebrows furrowed.
Gu Chenan's earlier thoughts had said he didn't want anything to do with me, because he was afraid Lin Yu would kill him.
Now mentioning Su Qianmo, he was also afraid Lin Yu would kill him.
Just what kind of background does this Lin Yu have that even Gu Chenan, the young master of the Gu family, fears him so much?
"What kind of background does Lin Yu have? Do you know?" Liu Mingrui asked.
Gu Chenan disdainfully let out a cold snort, "Just as I said, he's just a poor loser."
[He's the Dragon King, with a harem of 3000 beauties!]
[Not only you, even Su Qianmo is part of his harem!]
Hearing Gu Chenan's thoughts, Liu Mingrui's eyebrows creased.
Su Qianmo and I are both part of Lin Yu's harem?
Su Qianmo may like Lin Yu's type, but I definitely don't.
If I were to find a man, I wouldn't choose Lin Yu!
What's more, my childhood friend Gu Chenan is right in front of me. We've been close since we were young.
Gu Chenan isn't truly wanting to marry Su Qianmo anyway.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingrui stole a glance at Gu Chenan.
She saw Gu Chenan had a tall, straight nose and deep, penetrating eyes. His side profile was as beautiful as a painting.
Plus that muscular figure of his, he was simply a man with excellent physique and looks.
From the moment she had entered, she had noticed Gu Chenan's changes.
Not only had he grown taller, he had also become more handsome. Even his physique had improved.
Liu Mingrui took a deep breath. Suddenly she stood up, gaze firm as she looked at Gu Chenan and said, "Chenan, I don't plan on leaving East Sea again this time I'm back. From now on, if you need anything, just speak up."
As soon as she said this, Gu Chenan was stunned speechless.
[F*ck, what's going on?]
[Why does this sound so familiar? That's right, aren't you supposed to be saying this to Lin Yu?]
[Why are you saying this to me?]
[I don't want anything to do with you female leads. I just want to survive until the end!]
[Looks like I can't go to the Liu house anymore either, can't let Lin Yu see me being so close with Liu Mingrui!]
Gu Chenan was deeply moved, eyes reddening. He nodded and said, "I know, stop saying anything more. Tell Master Liu something urgent came up at home and I have to go first."
After speaking, Gu Chenan turned to leave.
"Wait!"
But at this time, Liu Mingrui reached out and grabbed Gu Chenan's suit.
Can't get close with the Liu family?
What kind of nonsense is that?
"Is there anything else?" Gu Chenan was on the verge of tears.
Big sis, what more do you want? Please just let me go, can you?
I don't want anything to do with you female leads!
According to the original plot, after you finished scolding me I left the Liu house!
Liu Mingrui lowered her head, pondering for a moment. Her expression was coy as she awkwardly said, "Do the words you said when you saw me off from East Sea still count?"
[F*ck?!]
Hearing Liu Mingrui's words, Gu Chenan's body froze.
In the original plot, the author did explain that when Liu Mingrui was leaving East Sea, she had agreed with Gu Chenan to become a couple after she returned from the battlefield.
But the author explaining this was completely to accentuate Lin Yu's sense of accomplishment in getting Liu Mingrui afterwards.
Just think, the childhood friend of a rich second generation villain who had an agreement ends up effortlessly taken by the protagonist. And the villain's childhood friend's family even defects to become the protagonist's helper.
This would definitely give readers a sense of satisfaction.
But in the original plot, after Liu Mingrui returned from the battlefield, she was kidnapped right away, and then rescued by Lin Yu.
So from beginning to end, Liu Mingrui never expressed any other feelings towards Gu Chenan, as if she had long forgotten about their agreement.
Therefore, Gu Chenan had never felt he would have a relationship beyond friendship with Liu Mingrui this time.
He didn't expect that Liu Mingrui would now bring up the matter of their agreement.
"This is..."
The corners of Gu Chenan's mouth twitched.
[I'm finished. After Su Qianmo, Liu Mingrui's character has collapsed too!]
[Big sis, don't have any other thoughts about me. I want to live until the ending.]
[Please quickly recognize my scumbag villain nature, then stay away from me and go to Lin Yu instead, I'm begging you.]
Gu Chenan felt pained at the fact that yet another female lead's character had collapsed. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Mingrui, I'm already engaged to Qianmo."
"But..." Liu Mingrui murmured, "...do you like her?"
[Like her? I'd like to f*ck her! If I could, I wish I could be the one to call off the engagement!]
[That female lead obviously has issues. I was originally able to completely get rid of the engagement at her house, but who would've thought...]
Although Gu Chenan thought this, he had to maintain Su Qianmo's number one fanboy image according to the system's requirements.
So he could only nod and say, "Like her, I like her a lot."
"Oh?"
Liu Mingrui's left eyebrow raised, her expression somewhat mocking.
It was clear Gu Chenan didn't actually like Su Qianmo.
That's good. You're my childhood friend. I can't become part of Lin Yu's harem, and you can't like Su Qianmo!
"I see." Liu Mingrui nodded, "But I still feel we're more suitable. What do you think?"
Gu Chenan glanced back at Liu Mingrui.
[If you weren't Lin Yu's harem, I would definitely do something with you.]
[After all, we're this old already, and last time I didn't even get to * you.]
[But my life comes first. Can't touch the protagonist's women.]
[Although the current storyline seems Liu Mingrui has no connection with Lin Yu, who knows how the plot will develop later on.]
[To be safe, I still can't get involved with these female leads.]
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui's cheeks instantly turned red.
Coyly, she threw a flirtatious punch at Gu Chenan's shoulder, "You pervert!"
Gu Chenan: "???"
[I'm scared, I'm scared. These female leads are all messed up.]
[Why is she suddenly flirting with me?]
[I didn't even do anything this time!]
[But this Lin Yu is really blessed with beauties. I really want to see what Liu Mingrui looks like wearing black stockings and a bunny girl outfit.]
Last time Gu Chenan didn't get to see before Lin Yu killed him, and Gu Chenan regretted it immensely.
"Let's leave it at that for today, it's gotten late already so I should head back," Gu Chenan said, glancing at the pitch-black night sky outside.
Liu Mingrui's face was already flushed from embarrassment hearing Gu Chenan's thoughts.
She lightly bit her lip and nodded slightly, "I know."
However, her "I know" didn't mean she knew Gu Chenan had to go back.
Rather, it meant she knew Gu Chenan wanted to see her wearing black stockings and a bunny girl outfit.
