Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui had stopped their bickering, but both still had their arms crossed and wore haughty expressions, only looking in opposite directions.
Gu Chenan glanced left at Su Qianmo then right at Liu Mingrui, helpless. "Can we get along?"
[Geez, you two are really something, getting upset so quickly?]
[I know my charm is powerful, but there's no need for you two to be like this!]
[You're both prominent figures in Donghai, it would be embarrassing if people heard about this!]
After Gu Chenan's inner voice appeared, the two women exchanged a glance.
They both looked a little embarrassed.
He was right, just now was beneath us and didn't suit our status at all.
Even if we want to hear Gu's inner thoughts, there's no need to bicker childishly, is there?
Thinking this, Su Qianmo was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.
She giggled, the sweet, crisp sound ringing out. "We were just joking around!"
Seeing Su Qianmo speak up, Liu Mingrui quickly followed suit. "Yeah, yeah! I was just teasing Big Sister Qianmo!"
Although Liu Mingrui was still unhappy that Su Qianmo had claimed to be Gu Chenan's fiancée.
But Su Qianmo had given her an out, so she should take it.
Plus, Gu Chenan had never said he liked Su Qianmo, so Liu Mingrui was still very confident in her position.
From now on, may the best woman win!
Seeing the atmosphere relax between the two women, Gu Chenan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good then. I'll head back first, you two should go home soon too."
The two women exchanged a glance, then spoke in sync: "No way!"
"Huh?"
Gu Chenan's eyebrows furrowed as he asked angrily: "What exactly do you two want?"
The two women hooked their arms around Gu Chenan's simultaneously, saying in one voice: "It's rare we're all out, you're not getting away!"
[Hmph!]
[Weren't you two at each other's throats just now? How did you suddenly become like sisters?]
"What do you mean I want to get away? Are you saying I can't even go home now?" Gu Chenan said indignantly.
"Noo~"
Liu Mingrui shook Gu Chenan's arm. "Chen'an, my dad's friend owns a private pool. Why don't we go swimming?"
Swimming?!
Gu Chenan's eyebrows furrowed. He realized things weren't so simple.
Which of their families - the Gus, Sus, or Lius - didn't have a private pool?
Why would Liu Mingrui suggest swimming elsewhere?
Gu Chenan tilted his head doubtfully to glance at Liu Mingrui, but his gaze was instinctively drawn lower by her extremely well-developed figure.
Ah!
Gu Chenan suddenly understood.
So you little schemer wanted to make Su Qianmo quit with your curves, huh?
Seeing that Gu Chenan hadn't responded for a while, Liu Mingrui asked Su Qianmo: "Sister Qianmo, want to come?"
Su Qianmo didn't even think before nodding. "Let's go, of course!"
Want to swim alone with Gu?
Dream on!
If Su Qianmo had declined, things would be different. But since she had agreed, Gu Chenan had to go by his gentlemanly principles.
"Alright."
Gu Chenan sighed and nodded. "If Qianmo wants to go, fine, let's go."
...
Ye Household, Manor Grounds
Lin Yu, who had passed out, slowly opened his eyes.
No one was before him, not a sound could be heard.
Just the empty arena and faint voices drifting from the garden.
"What exactly...happened?"
Lin Yu's mind was blank, still unclear about what had happened and how he ended up lying on the ground.
He only remembered throwing a full-powered punch at Gu Chenan, then nothing.
But at that moment, a piercing pain erupted in his chest.
Pfft~!
The next second, he spat out a spray of blood.
"Gah!"
Lin Yu clutched his chest and struggled to his feet.
Looking left and right, still no one else around.
Where was Mingrui? Master?
Hadn't she come to cheer for me? Even if I lost inexplicably, she shouldn't have disappeared!
Forget Mingrui being gone, but what about Master?
Did she leave in anger, thinking I'd humiliated her?
No, that shouldn't be!
Just then, a Ye servant approached briskly.
"Hello Sir, the match has ended, please leave now."
"Wait!"
After catching his breath, Lin Yu asked: "Where do I collect the $50 million prize?"
Hearing this, the servant looked confused.
"Sir, you weren't the champion, what $50 million?"
"Young Master Ye said that as long as I defeated Lu Renjia, I would be...cough cough...champion!" Lin Yu frowned, perplexed.
"Heh..."
The servant chuckled lightly. "Did you forget what you said before fighting Young Master Gu?"
"You said that if Young Master Gu won, he would be champion."
Stunned, Lin Yu felt the world spinning.
At the time, he had just been boasting.
Who knew Gu Chenan would actually beat him?
That $50 million...that was $50 million!
To Lin Yu, even $3 million was an astronomical figure, let alone $50 million!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu was filled with regret.
He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth.
Gu Chenan! It's you again!
Why must you ruin things for me every time?
That $50 million should have been mine!
Although furious, Lin Yu could only accept this reality since he had uttered those arrogant words himself.
"Please leave quickly, Sir, we need to clean up." The servant urged before turning to depart.
"Wait!"
Lin Yu stretched out a hand to stop him, then asked: "Where's Mingrui? Where did she go?"
Mingrui?!
The servant looked shocked.
You dare to call Miss Liu by her given name?
"You mean Miss Liu?"
Lin Yu nodded. "Mingrui came today to cheer for me. Where is she now?"
Hearing this, the servant curled his lip disdainfully.
"Young Master Gu and Miss Liu already left. Please, no more questions. I'm busy."
As he turned away, contempt flashed across his face.
Said Miss Liu came to cheer for you?
You must be dreaming!
Everyone knows she only came because of Young Master Gu.
Cheer for you? Who do you think you are?
I really don't understand the nonsense coming out of his mouth. Does he have brain damage?
Staring at the servant's departing back, Lin Yu clenched his fists again.
Gu Chenan!
Where did you take Mingrui?
She came to support me, what right did you have to bring her away?
Just you wait, I will pay you back a hundredfold for today's humiliation!
After making about two hundred mental vows on how he would kill Gu Chenan in the future, Lin Yu hobbled out of the Ye house with one hand clutching his chest.
