Dazzling fireworks continued to bloom in the dark night sky above the two individuals.
In Su City International, men and women who were still working overtime stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring this beautiful scene.
"Wow! How romantic! Who is expressing their love this time?"
"That girl must be really happy, right?"
"By the way, Gu Shao has prepared many firework shows for General Su in the past. Could this firework show be prepared by Gu Shao for General Su?"
"I don't know. Anyway, sweet love has nothing to do with me."
People were discussing animatedly, thinking that firework shows were usually prepared by men for women. So many female employees were envious of the nonexistent woman's happiness.
They could never imagine who the two parties involved in this firework show actually were.
But everyone had one thought in their minds: the splendid fireworks added a touch of romance to this night.
Witnessing this firework show made everyone involuntarily think about love.
Soon, the fireworks faded away, and boundless darkness once again enveloped the sky.
Su Qianmo's beautiful eyes looked at Gu Chenan, and she whispered, "Do you like it?"
Gu Chenan turned his head and met Su Qianmo's gaze. Looking at Su Qianmo's slightly ambiguous eyes, he nodded blankly, "It's alright."
Gu Chenan's mind was completely blank right now.
Su Qianmo had surprised him by arranging a car and this firework show.
Whether it was from the original plot or from their interactions over the past few days, Gu Chenan never thought that Su Qianmo was capable of doing these things.
Especially this firework show!
It completely exceeded Gu Chenan's expectations.
This was the way the male lead pursued the female lead in countless novels. How did it end up being reversed for him? It turned into the female lead pursuing him?
Was the script he got a villain's script or a protagonist's script?
"Qianmo, what's going on with you today?" Gu Chenan furrowed his brows in confusion.
Su Qianmo smiled gently, her eyes filled with affection as she said, "Didn't I tell you before? From now on, I'll be the one pursuing you."
"Uh..."
Gu Chenan suddenly remembered that Su Qianmo had indeed said those words during the beach party. However, at that time, Gu Chenan hadn't taken her seriously. But who would have thought that she would actually do something like this?
"Gu Shao, don't you have anything to say?" Su Qianmo asked, pursing her lips shyly.
Gu Chenan took the key to the Bugatti Veyron and put it back into Su Qianmo's hands, speaking solemnly, "Thank you, Qianmo. I accept this firework show..."
He glanced at the sleek and powerful Bugatti Veyron in front of him and continued, "But I can't accept this car."
Gu Chenan's refusal had nothing to do with the car's value.
Even if the car was expensive, any prestigious family in the East Sea could easily buy it.
The reason he didn't want it was more subtle. Part of it was that he felt indebted to her, and another part was that he was afraid that if he accepted the car, he would have to go buy condoms tonight!
But deep down, he was conflicted.
He wasn't conflicted about whether or not to take the car. He was conflicted about whether or not to accept Su Qianmo's feelings.
Upon hearing Gu Chenan's words, Su Qianmo furrowed her brows, her expression puzzled. "Why?"
"Nothing in particular, I just don't want it," Gu Chenan frowned.
Witnessing this scene, Su Qianmo's beautiful eyes slightly widened.
This scene was too familiar!
It was so familiar that Su Qianmo felt a sense of déjà vu.
When Gu Chenan had given her gifts before, she had also rejected them without any reason, even using the exact same words!
Suddenly, Su Qianmo's heart skipped a beat.
She also recalled how she had treated Gu Chenan in the past.
Although those were sparsely described events in the novel when the author introduced the characters, Su Qianmo was a character in the novel, so she remembered those things.
In an instant, regret filled her heart completely.
She couldn't understand why she had behaved that way towards Gu Chenan back then, as if she were possessed.
"Are you... still blaming me?" Su Qianmo's eyes turned teary.
"Blaming you for what?" Gu Chenan looked puzzled.
"Blaming me for the way I treated you before..." Su Qianmo regretted her actions.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenan awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Although Gu Chenan often mentioned in his mind how Su Qianmo had treated him in the past, in reality, he hadn't experienced much of it because both times he had interacted with Su Qianmo, it started with the plot of her being kidnapped.
Gu Chenan shook his head and smiled, "Did I ever say that I blame you?"
"Really?" Su Qianmo's eyes instantly brightened.
"Yes." Gu Chenan nodded. "Really."
If it were the usual, Gu Chenan would have continued the conversation according to Su Qianmo's words, talking about how he blamed her and then taking the opportunity to leave. But today, he didn't do that.
Because...
Gu Chenan was deeply moved.
Whether in reality or in this novel world, there had never been a woman who had prepared these things for him.
His previously unwavering determination to distance himself from Su Qianmo wavered slightly after seeing everything she had done.
He knew that once he accepted Su Qianmo's affection, there would be no turning back.
Not to mention relying on tricks to survive the big finale.
Gu Chenan pondered.
Damn it, Su Qianmo treated me like this, if I still reject her, am I even a man?
Damn it, I won't resort to tricks anymore!
After all, I already have the ability to fight barehanded. Once I become proficient in the Innate Qi Gong, Lin Yu will be nothing more than a younger brother in front of me.
Why should I fear him?!
I am the antagonist, and moreover, I am an antagonist who knows the plot. As long as I think faster, how could he possibly kill me?
With this in mind, Gu Chenan's gaze became firm.
However, it's better not to be too conspicuous before completely crushing Lin Yu.
After all, Lin Yu is the protagonist of this novel. If he encounters cheats like the Ring Grandpa in advance, he might kill me prematurely.
It's not about fearing the worst but fearing the unexpected when it comes to internet novels!
So, the urgent task at hand is not to just scrape by, but to bring down Lin Yu without ruining his character, leaving him with no chance of turning the tables!
Once Lin Yu is dead, what is there to fear about not making it to the grand finale?
...
"Since you don't blame me, then why won't you accept the gift I gave you?"
At that moment, Su Qianmo's resentful voice interrupted Gu Chenan's thoughts.
Gu Chenan turned around, took a deep breath, and spoke with determination, "I regret it now."
"Huh?" Su Qianmo was still a bit slow to react.
Gu Chenan pulled Su Qianmo into his embrace and said, "I accept both this fireworks show and this car."
"And you..."
When the last three words were uttered, Su Qianmo felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Her body stiffened slightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly widened.
After a moment, tears of joy suddenly streamed down her cheeks.
"Can I call you Chenan now?" she whispered in Gu Chenan's ear.
Gu Chenan smiled and gently stroked her silky hair, saying, "You've always been able to call me that."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
