Chapter 110 - Another Try (2)

Gu Ci slowly withdrew his gaze, eyes narrowing slightly.

Love starts to blossom when the heart starts to pound. If you latch onto it, then there may be a future for this love. However, if you don't, you can only allow it to pass. There is always more to see in the future, but he really may not ever find another person that would make his heart pound ever again.

Fortunately, so much time has already passed, and time is the best medicine.

Despite how he felt in the past, he didn't feel anything for her anymore when he saw her again now. But Gu Ci had to admit that at the very beginning when he agreed to join their class reunion, he did want to reconfirm whether that fluttering feeling was just his mind playing tricks on him. But frankly, he couldn't be blamed for it...

Gu Ci looked over at them again and pondered for a moment before pulling up the question, "By the way, how did the two of you get together?"

"Huh? Us?" Chen Jinyao turned her attention to Gu Ci and blinked her eyes. Subconsciously, she answered, "It was a match..."

Before she could finish, it was Yan Cheng who tapped her twice on the shoulder, interrupting her. Choking back, she turned and glared at him before turning back. Pursing her lips, she reorganized her words and was just about to continue when she heard Yan Cheng's voice flow into her ear. He took her hand and squeezed the tip of her fingers. Then, with a boy-like tone of nostalgia, he answered for her. "We matched well so we started a relationship. I was the one who chased after her."

Chen Jinyao was stunned at his blatant lie. "..."

A moment of silence. She could only hold onto her man and looked down, eyes darting around, nodding like an agreeing wife. "Yeah."

Yan Cheng looked agreeingly at Chen Jinyao and only stopped when Chen Jinyao could not hold herself back from kicking him. However, it was only limited to the look on his face. "Ah, it took a really long time before I finally succeeded in pursuing her."

God knows what he was trying to show off.

"..." Chen Jinyao had to keep a straight face and silently sighed in her heart. It really feels like this guy has overdone it with the acting.

She jabbed at his waist with her elbow, signaling for him to stop.

Yan Cheng smirked and clicked his tongue lazily.

But he didn't exaggerate further.

The sunlight was dazzlingly bright outside.

In fact, some things can be felt even from their movements and the atmosphere.

Gu Ci looked away and eventually smiled. "That's pretty good."

Yan Cheng, "..."

Chen Jinyao, "..."

---------------

Back at the hotel, after greeting the class leader and the others, Chen Jinyao dragged Yan Cheng back to their own room. The room was booked by the couple themselves so Yan Cheng had specifically booked the top floor suite. This hotel room could not overlook the entire city, but they can still see the landmarks of Shanghai across the winding Huangpu River.

After watching the two of them get into the elevator, the dozen over people gathered together began chattering in discussion. "Feels like our class committee member really changed a lot."

Someone said, "It's been so many years, of course she'll change!"

"Makes sense, but her husband is really handsome." Only after saying that did she realize that she had spoken out of place, turning over, she eyed Gu Ci, but his face looked completely normal. He didn't look bothered by her words at all.

She breathed a sigh of relief and loosened up. She thought to herself, even though everyone knew about it back then, Chen Jinyao was the only one who played dumb. But it seems like it's all in the past now.

"He's not only handsome, he looks like he's rich, too."

At that, another person was confused. "How could you tell???"

"You've been alive for this long and you still can't tell?"

The crowd was stunned for a moment. Following that, everyone looked at each other and laughed.

"Chen Jinyao's family is so rich, she'll definitely marry a rich guy."

A feeling of envy seemed to emerge from those words, and the laughter suddenly stopped. Awkwardly, they all eyed each other. Nobody dared to pick up the conversation again.
