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

Chu Manke was puzzled when she heard Gu Zhan's words, "What do you mean by openly sharing with you? What do you mean by openly sharing with you?"

"Manke..."

Gu Zhan was a little shy, he chuckled and scratched his head, "During this period, you accepted the flowers I sent you, and so many people on the Internet were saying that you were my mysterious girlfriend, but you didn't let me come out to clarify, and you didn't deny it! It wasn't until that Xia Something got into trouble that you asked me to come out to clarify. Didn't you want to be open with me?"

"Man Ke, I can see that I still have a place in your heart. I don't care how much. As long as you have a little place for me in your heart, I still have a chance! I believe that as long as you give me a chance, you will slowly fall in love with me!"

Gu Zhan said this with great confidence.

He believes that as a top star, he has this charm.

He has been so popular in recent years that his advertisements are everywhere. Even if Chu Manke has no dealings with him, she would still see him in shopping malls, on televisions and mobile phones. It can be said that he is everywhere in Chu Manke's world.

"Relationships develop slowly, they don't happen overnight! We can go public first and then slowly develop the relationship!"

Chu Manke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you okay? How do you feel that I have you in my heart? First of all, I didn't accept your flowers. It was Xia Yiyi who accepted them on her own initiative! The main reason was that the delivery man who delivered the flowers just left the flowers and left. I didn't have time to refuse them."

"Second, I didn't ask you to come out and clarify our relationship. No one on the Internet knew that the person you had dinner with was me. What was I going to do by coming out and denying it? Should I let everyone know that the person you had dinner with was me?"

Gu Zhan was silent for a moment, and then he spoke with sadness in his voice, "Man Ke, I have liked you for so many years, you should know that I am sincere to you! You are single, I am single, can't we give it a try?"

"Even if you feel it's not suitable in the future, we can separate! You can't reject me without giving me a chance, right?"

Chu Man laughed, "Gu Zhan, there are so many single people in the world, don't you have to date someone just because you are single? I like my current situation very much and don't want to consider relationships."

"You can't deny all relationships because of a failed relationship. There will always be someone in this world who truly loves you and only thinks it's you. If you haven't made up your mind yet, I can wait until you have made up your mind before making our relationship public."

Chu Manke's tone sank, "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Zhan panicked, "Man Ke, how could I threaten you? Why do you think so?"

"If I don't agree to be open with you, you're not going to stand up and help Xia Yiyi clarify, right?"

"I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

Gu Zhandao said, "Now the whole internet is saying that I have a mysterious girlfriend. If I just come out and clarify that it's not Xia Yiyi, they will only think that I am trying to cover up the truth! They won't believe it and will continue to pester Xia Yiyi! Only when they know that the mysterious girlfriend is not Xia Yiyi, but someone else, will they give up attacking Xia Yiyi."

"I can't just find someone to lie and claim she's my girlfriend just to help Xia Yiyi clear her name, right? I don't want to have any scandals with anyone, even if they're fake! You and only you have always been in my heart all these years."

Gu Zhan spoke very sincerely, and it was obvious that he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Manke sat in the car, looking up at the blue sky through the car window, and said in a vague voice, "Gu Zhan, what do you think liking is? What is love?"

Gu Zhan was speechless.

He has starred in many romantic idol dramas, each of which has a different love theme. He is usually too immersed in the drama, which naturally blurs his own understanding of true love.

If he were asked to say some high-sounding, flowery love words, with so many touching lines, he could say a lot of them, and it was guaranteed to move Chu Manke.

But he didn't want to deceive her with those hypocritical sweet words.

After a while of silence.

Gu Zhan's voice was low, "Love means that person is always in your heart, can't be forgotten, and can't be let go. I want to be with her, every day, together no matter what we do, so that I can see her all the time."

This is what Gu Zhan himself thinks love looks like.

Chu Manke said, "We have not seen each other for many years. How many times have you seen me? If you just lack companionship, wouldn't your agent or assistant be more suitable?"

"They are not you! They are not the people I want!" Gu Zhan said anxiously.

Chu Man looked up at the sky, her voice still light and gentle, "What I want is a long-lasting companionship. I can see him every day when I wake up and open my eyes! No matter what I do, no matter what happens to me, he can be by my side, accompany me, and take care of me."

"Manko, I can do it!"

"No! You can't do it, and you've never done it!" Chu Manke paused and continued, "I've had that kind of thing happen to me, you know, don't you feel disgusted and think I'm dirty?"

"Man Ke, you have always been a proud and innocent little princess in my heart! I only feel sorry for you, how could I think you are dirty?"

Chu Manke lowered her head, the smile on her lips carrying a hint of bitterness.

"Gu Zhan, I was in a lot of pain during that time. I wanted to end my life so many times! I was filled with grief, indignation, confusion, hatred, and torment. I felt that my life was completely dark and there was no hope anymore."

"That was the most painful and difficult time in my life. Even now when I think back on it, I still get chills all over my body! My family and friends were with me, fearing that I would commit suicide. It was their company and encouragement that gave me hope to survive again."

"You and Brother Gu Yan have such a good relationship, you couldn't have not known about it, right? Where were you at that time? It seems that you didn't even say a word of comfort? How can you say that you have loved me for many years?"

During those dark days, Chu Manke divided the people around her into two categories. One category was the people who treated her sincerely and became the most important people in her life.

The other type is that we become strangers and there is no need to contact each other anymore.

In times of crisis, we can usually see through the true intentions of many people.

If Gu Zhan hadn't said that he liked her, they would still be ordinary friends who would greet each other when they met in the future.

But since Gu Zhan has been secretly in love with her for many years, he did nothing when she needed company and care the most. Isn't this kind of love ridiculous?

Gu Zhan's voice became sad and muffled, and it was obvious that he was feeling very uncomfortable at the time.

"At that time... I didn't know how to comfort you. We haven't been in touch for many years. I'm not sure if you still consider me a friend! You are so proud. If I rashly comfort you, you will think I am laughing at you."

Gu Zhan's words really hit the nail on the head. Given their relationship at the time, Chu Manke would indeed think so and would even block Gu Zhan's contact information.

Gu Zhan had been on the phone in the lounge for a long time. His agent couldn't wait any longer, so he knocked on the door and urged Gu Zhan to hurry up because it was his turn to act.

Gu Zhan shot a look over there. Although he was always kind and gentle to others, this look was extremely terrifying.

The agent froze at the door, not daring to say anything, and quietly retreated.

Gu Zhan, who has always put filming first and is a workaholic, acted like a big shot for the first time and made the entire crew wait in the scorching sun.

No one dared to say anything. With Guzhan's status, he was qualified to act like a big shot.

But there were also people who didn't get along with Gu Zhan, and they immediately sent the news to the reporters that Gu Zhan was acting like a big shot and making everyone wait in the scorching heat.

When a good person does a bad thing, his true colors are revealed; when a bad person does a good thing, it is called a prodigal son's return.

People are generally less tolerant of nice people.
