On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

"Gu Zhan asked you out?" En Ning was surprised when she heard that.

In Enning's impression, Gu Zhan and Chu Man had little in common and few opportunities to meet.

But according to Chu Lichuan, they were very familiar with each other when they were young and often played together.

However, Gu Zhan was the one bullied by Chu Manke. He would often go home crying and complain, and then Gu Zhan's mother would bring Gu Zhan to the Chu family to seek justice.

When Chu Manke was young, Shao Jinglin often quarreled with Gu Zhan's mother because of her.

Later, they went to elementary school and junior high school together and were classmates. It seemed that Gu Zhan was used to being bullied by Chu Manke, so he stopped going home to complain and even proclaimed himself a knight of the princess' guard.

Later, after graduating from high school, Gu Zhan entered the entertainment industry and became busier and busier at work, so they had less and less contact.

But Gu Zhan was a very nice person. En Ning admired him very much. He had good acting skills, was handsome, and had no star airs. He had helped her many times.

The most important thing is that he keeps himself clean and has never had any scandals with any female stars.

The only scandal was a gay scandal between her and actor Yi Jie that was forced upon her by her fans.

If Gu Zhan had never had a girlfriend, fans probably wouldn't have thought he liked men.

But Enning didn't believe that Gu Zhan liked men.

Gu Ruoyan heard from Gu Yan that Gu Zhan didn't have a girlfriend because he had Bai Yueguang in his heart.

Gu Ruoyan questioned Gu Yan for a long time, but Gu Yan refused to tell her who the white moonlight was.

It shouldn't be like this, as they are husband and wife and should be able to talk about anything.

Gu Ruoyan and En Ning analyzed this together. It might be someone they knew, otherwise Gu Yan wouldn't be so tight-lipped.

Enning knew that Gu Zhan had met Chu Manke in the imperial capital a few days ago, in the hospital. Chu Manke told her that Gu Zhan was very strange and said a lot of inexplicable things.

Now Gu Zhan appears in Yuncheng again. Is it just a coincidence that they meet in Yuncheng again?

Or was it a premeditated pursuit?

Enning gave Chu Manke a secretive smile.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Chu Manke was puzzled.

"Nothing! I have to leave first. The restaurant is a bit far away." En Ning changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and waved to Chu Manke.

"Have a nice dinner."

Chu Manke shrugged. "It's just a meal. What's there to be happy or unhappy about?"

If En Ning hadn't wanted to go out for dinner with An Jun and asked her if she wanted to go, she wouldn't have accepted Gu Zhan's invitation.

She didn't get enough rest these days and is a little tired.

Although Ma Rong's death had nothing to do with her directly, she couldn't help but blame herself.

Gu Zhanyue's restaurant is relatively close to the hotel.

Chu Manke went out close to the appointed time and walked to the restaurant across the street.

Gu Station has booked the entire venue.

In the huge high-end western restaurant, there was no one else except a waiter and a waiter.

Chu Man was a little surprised, but not too surprised at the same time.

With Gu Zhan's status, if someone saw him having dinner with a girl, they would be on the front page of tomorrow's news, and there might be some scandal.

Chu Manke walked over, and Gu Zhan quickly stood up, pulled out the dining chair for Chu Manke, and invited her to sit down.

Chu Manke was still not used to it, her friend who she had grown up with suddenly became so gentlemanly and polite.

After saying thank you, I sat down and looked at the white candles, red roses and deep red wine on the dining table.

The steak and meals have been ordered, all of which are Chu Man’s favorite flavors.

The plates placed on the white tablecloth looked like colorful oil paintings under the soft candlelight.

Chu Manke laughed and asked Gu Zhan who was sitting opposite, "Is this a candlelight dinner?"

The entire restaurant was lit by very dim lights, except for their dining table, which was lit by candles, making it seem a little brighter.

This kind of atmosphere gives people an indescribable sense of tranquility, and their restless and depressed mood gradually calms down.

Gu Zhan curled his lips slightly, and his handsome facial features seemed to be coated with a layer of Hong Kong style filter under the candlelight, making him look particularly handsome and compelling.

"Don't you like it?" he asked.

"Of course I like it! It's just a surprise. Why did you invite me to a candlelight dinner? It's as if we are a couple." Chu Manke spread the napkin on her legs, picked up the wine glass, and clinked glasses with Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan took a sip of red wine, his eyes fixed deeply on Chu Manke, as if he was hiding some complex emotions, struggling to break free from the shackles, but in the end he slowly calmed down, just smiled faintly, and said nothing.

Chu Manke picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of steak, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, then nodded with satisfaction.

tasty.

I have to praise Gu Zhan for being good at choosing restaurants.

Seeing that Chu Manke didn't say anything, Gu Zhan coughed dryly and asked hesitantly, "Did you really break up with An Jun?"

Chu Manke suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zhan opposite her, with strong resistance in her eyes, "Why are you asking about him suddenly?"

"I...I'm just curious."

"We broke up a long time ago! How can we say they are really broken up?" Chu Manke was a little unhappy.

When she was in a calm mood, mentioning An Jun would undoubtedly uncover the old scars in her heart and remind her of the unbearable memories.

Many people in the circle know what she has been through.

And I know who she went through all that because of.

In recent years, she often stays at home or in a milk tea shop, does not contact her old friends, and no longer goes out to eat, drink and have fun, just to avoid rumors from the outside world.

She was afraid of hearing things she shouldn't hear and afraid that she wouldn't have the courage to cheer up again.

She was afraid that they would say she was dirty and that she would be laughed at and ridiculed.

Gu Zhan was a friend she excluded from the list of people she trusted. Even if he was just chatting, out of concern or curiosity, in Chu Manke's opinion, it was all gossip.

But in Chu Manke's view, this gossip was full of irony.

Yeah, how ironic!

I was betrayed by the person I once loved and trusted, and I lost my innocence.

If she goes back and reconciles with that person, outsiders must think she is ridiculous and despicable!

Chu Manke stared at Gu Zhan closely. The sharpness in her eyes made Gu Zhan feel flustered and he hurriedly explained.

"I'm just... asking!"

Chu Manke was no longer in the mood to eat, so she put down her knife and fork, lifted the napkin from her lap, and prepared to get up.

Gu Zhan quickly stood up and held her arm, "You misunderstood me! I... "

Gu Zhan became nervous and wanted to explain himself, but the feelings that had been buried for so long seemed to be suppressed by layers of obstacles and he couldn't say them out loud.

"Aren't we friends? Even if we haven't been in touch for a long time, you are still my good friend in my heart! I just want to chat with you."

Chu Manke pushed his hand away, "There's nothing to talk about!"

She had always thought Gu Zhan was strange. He had mentioned Xu Jing for no apparent reason before, and now he mentioned An Jun again.

Even though they were childhood friends, they hadn't been in touch for many years and had become estranged. In Chu Manke's opinion, his direct topics were just mocking her.

Chu Manke picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

Gu Zhan quickly walked around the dining table and stopped Chu Manke. He swallowed the air and seemed to have finally found the courage and spoke loudly.

"Man Ke, I like you for many, many years! I have always had a crush on you."

Chu Manke looked at Gu Zhan in surprise. After a long time, she regained consciousness and said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me? In your eyes, am I just a joke? How dare you say such a thing!"
