Upon hearing Liu Mingrui's words, Gu Chenan was like sitting on pins and needles.
He was already at his wits' end because of Su Qianmo's matter, and now if something unclear happened between him and Liu Mingrui, he would be 100% dead.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan suddenly stood up with a swoosh.
"Old Master, Mingrui and I really didn't do anything, we two are innocent."
"Plus I really like Su Qianmo, other than her I won't marry anyone else, including Mingrui. Old Master, let's just forget about what you said."
In order not to make Liu Mingrui my trouble, offending Old Master Liu it is!
Anyway, in the original storyline, after he had humiliated Lin Yu in the Liu family, he gradually distanced himself from the Liu family.
So by doing this, not only would he not disrupt the storyline, but could even bring the storyline back on track.
Hearing Gu Chenan's words, a hint of suspicion flashed through Old Master Liu's eyes.
According to common sense, it was unlikely that nothing would happen between a man and a woman alone together in a room.
But Gu Chenan repeatedly emphasized this point.
Could it be...
Nothing really happened?
Old Master Liu's gaze turned to Liu Mingrui.
Liu Mingrui was startled by Gu Chenan's sudden declaration.
In her expression, she couldn't help but feel some sadness, and more puzzlement.
If you don't like Su Qianmo, then why can't you be with me?
You... you are my childhood sweetheart!
We used to be the closest people!
Seeing Old Master Liu somewhat shaken, Gu Chenan went on, "Old Master, I shouldn't speak to you elders like this, but I just want to explain it clearly to you."
【I have no choice, after saying this, I'd better slip away.】
【I won't come to the Liu family anymore in the future. Who knows what tricks Mingrui will play on me next time I come!】
【Brother Lin Yu, you saw it. For your sexual happiness I directly rejected this matter.】
"Old Master, I have something else to attend to, so I won't stay long."
Gu Chenan bowed with folded hands, behaving very humbly.
After saying that, without waiting for Old Master Liu and Liu Mingrui to respond, he directly turned and walked out of the main hall.
【Gotta run, the less entanglement with Liu Mingrui the better!】
In the main hall, Old Master Liu and Liu Mingrui hadn't recovered from Gu Chenan's sudden departure.
Gu Chenan used to be so respectful to Old Master Liu.
But his reaction today was a bit over the top.
"What exactly happened today? I heard you sent out four cars, what did you do?" Not long after returning home, Old Master Liu immediately heard about this and went to find Liu Mingrui to get to the bottom of what happened that made her mobilize such a large force.
Liu Mingrui rubbed her fingers, embarrassed, "Went...went to find Gu Chenan."
"You needed to send out so many people just to find Chenan?" Old Master Liu frowned.
"He...he didn't answer my calls, so I went to find him at his house." Liu Mingrui said.
"Humph!"
Old Master Liu snorted, "So you brought him back to our home? And to your room too?"
"Mm." Liu Mingrui nodded.
Hearing this, Old Master Liu understood.
So Gu Chenan was able to come over today entirely because Liu Mingrui went to catch him.
And she said Gu Chenan didn't answer her calls.
This meant that Gu Chenan had no feelings whatsoever for Liu Mingrui!
Then it all made sense.
Liu Mingrui liked Gu Chenan, but Gu Chenan liked Su Qianmo.
In order to get Gu Chenan, Liu Mingrui actually forcibly kidnapped him back!
If their genders were reversed, then it would be a clear kidnapping of a young lady from a good family!
Old Master Liu's mind buzzed immediately.
He was grateful that Liu Mingrui was a girl. If she were a boy, this matter would have been hard to resolve!
At the same time, he felt some admiration for Gu Chenan. There were at least 90 out of 100 people in Donghai pursuing Liu Mingrui, which was enough to show Liu Mingrui's considerable charm.
Yet Gu Chenan was able to resist temptation for the sake of the woman he loved even after being forcibly taken away!
What a man!
When Old Master Liu returned home this time, he had also heard many rumors about Gu Chenan's improper conduct.
But after this incident, Old Master Liu saw things clearly.
No matter what others said, he felt that Gu Chenan was a good man!
At least he would not indulge in lust!
He even dared to offend him for the sake of that Su girl. He was a man of passionate love!
At this moment, Liu Mingrui was recalling Gu Chenan's inner thoughts from earlier.
He said he would never come to the Liu family again in the future.
Could it be that from now on, Gu Chenan and I would become strangers?
Thinking of this, Liu Mingrui felt somewhat heartbroken.
Seeing Liu Mingrui's dejected look, Old Master Liu sighed and said, "Mingrui, do you like Chenan?"
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui was startled, and subconsciously wanted to shake her head.
But on second thought, she pursed her lips.
"Yes." She said.
"I can see that." Old Master Liu patted his own knee and chatted leisurely, "Chenan is a good kid. I can understand why you like him."
"And I fully support it. I would be very happy if Chenan could become my son-in-law."
After witnessing Gu Chenan's stalwartness in the face of coercion, Old Master Liu's goodwill towards Gu Chenan was maxed out.
Liu Mingrui was also one of the top beauties in Donghai, yet Gu Chenan could withstand temptation. He was simply admirable!
"Yes!" Hearing this, Liu Mingrui's eyes lit up.
Then Old Master Liu changed his tone, "But liking someone doesn't mean trying to forcibly change their heart."
"From now on, try to win Chenan's heart with a girl's methods."
"He is a man of passionate love. Once you win his heart, he will definitely not disappoint you."
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui's face lit up and she nodded heavily, "Dad, I understand!"
......
Gu Chenan, who had "escaped" from the Liu family, stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi.
At this moment, his mood was somewhat excited yet also heavy.
After all, he did have a good relationship with Old Master Liu.
But his words and actions of leaving directly today would surely anger Old Master Liu.
Old Master Liu was the War God of China! There were few people in the whole of China who dared to take this attitude with Old Master Liu.
The Old Master would probably give me the cold shoulder from now on.
But it was fine too. If this could avoid any entanglement with Liu Mingrui, offending the Old Master would be worth it!
After what I did today, Old Master Liu would probably prevent Liu Mingrui from contacting me in the future.
Awesome!
With the female third lead resolved, time to take off!
Gu Chenan smiled smugly, in a cheerful mood.
