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

Ruan Meng and Gu Zhan sat together, seemingly close, but in fact, they were not close at all.

As long as there is no camera pointing at them, their smiles immediately drop and they look away without any eye contact.

Gu Zhan’s gaze was always following Chu Manke.

Her every move, every frown and smile are the most beautiful scenery in his eyes.

However, ever since he arrived, Chu Manke only glanced in his direction and never paid any attention to him again.

Recently he has been sending messages to Chu Manke, asking her out, but Chu Manke would reply to refuse at first.

But in the end, she simply stopped replying.

When Gu Zhan saw Chu Manke get up and go backstage, he quickly got up and walked towards the backstage.

The engagement party is about to begin.

Pei Jiayin had already put on her makeup, and Wu Youyou and En Ning were with her in the lounge.

Wu Youyou is Pei Jiayin's makeup artist today. Because the banquet is held outdoors, the sun is strong, it is easy to sweat, and there is wind, Wu Youyou has to follow Pei Jiayin throughout the whole process, touching up her makeup and fixing her hairstyle.

Chu Manke was just about to push the door and enter the lounge to see Pei Jiayin after she put on her makeup, when her arm suddenly tightened and she was dragged inside by Gu Zhan.

Today the guests' banquet is outdoors and there are almost no people indoors.

Gu Zhan had a special status, so Luo Heng arranged a lounge for him before he came.

As a star, he makes a living by his looks. He can't just sit outside in the sun all the time. It's enough for him to go out occasionally and have the media take some photos and videos of him.

He took Chu Manke upstairs and into the lounge where his name tag was hung.

After entering, he closed the door and locked it.

Chu Manke instinctively felt disgusted and resisted the man's action.

The shadow in her heart was so deeply rooted that she could never get rid of it in this lifetime. She pushed Gu Zhan away and turned the door lock in panic.

Just as the door was about to be opened, Gu Zhan grabbed her.

"Manko! Why?"

Gu Zhan looked puzzled, with a lump forming between his brows.

Celebrities are afraid of getting wrinkles and usually never make excessive facial expressions. This has become their daily habit.

But Gu Zhan couldn't care about those things at the moment. He just wanted to figure out why Chu Manke had ignored him for a while?

He is resting now, has no job and is extremely idle all day long.

He was used to working day and night, and suddenly he had some free time. He felt uncomfortable and missed Chu Manke more and more.

I think about Chu Manke almost every moment.

Because this is the real purpose of his rest, which is to accompany Chu Manke and pursue Chu Manke.

"Why?" Chu Man tried to push Gu Zhan hard but failed to push him away.

"I have been contacting you, why did you ignore me? Are you angry with me? I didn't want to be open with Ruan Meng, it was your brother who forced me to do it! You know, I am not dating Ruan Meng. The photos of us having dinner and dating that were taken by the media these two days were also deliberately made public by us, not real!"

Gu Zhan tried his best to explain, but Chu Manke didn't want to hear a word.

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

"How is it not related? I did all this for you."

"Are you here to ask for a favor from me?" Chu Manke laughed. "Gu Zhan, the cause of this matter is that you insisted on arranging a candlelight dinner that I had no knowledge of. The troubles you are facing now are not caused by me, but by yourself! I have no responsibility to take any responsibility for you!"

Gu Zhan saw that Chu Manke was angry and panicked. "Manke, don't misunderstand me. I didn't ask you to be responsible, nor did I ask for a favor from you! I just want you to understand that I don't like Ruan Meng. This is just a temporary solution."

Chu Manke nodded, "I know!"

"Since you know all this, why are you ignoring me? Can't you just give me a chance?"

"We are not suitable for each other, and I don't like you. What chance should I give you?" Chu Manke's arm was in pain because of Gu Zhan's grip. She shook Gu Zhan off, took a step back and kept a distance from him.

"Man Ke, feelings can be cultivated. You haven't even had any contact with me, so how do you know that you don't like me? We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for..."

Gu Zhan said halfway, wiped his face, and swallowed the rest of the sentence.

He didn't want to mention An Jun.

He hated An Jun and was disgusted by An Jun.

Chu Manke rubbed the arm that was pinched by Gu Zhan, turned sideways, and said in a cold voice, "Gu Zhan, I still say the same thing, we can be friends! It's impossible to develop into another relationship!"

"Stop wasting your time on me!"

Chu Manke was about to open the door and leave, but was stopped by Gu Zhan.

"I want to know why? How am I inferior to him?"

Chu Manke turned her back to Gu Zhan and said, "You are very good, there is nothing wrong with you!"

"Why then?"

Chu Manke was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Some things have no reason!"

When it comes to love, how can there be any reasons?

It's just that I don't know where the love comes from, but I'm deeply in love with it.

Chu Manke opened the door and strode away.

Gu Zhan quickly ran out of the door and shouted, "Man Ke!"

However, Chu Manke left without stopping at all.

Gu Zhan didn't see that at the corner of the corridor, there was a mobile phone camera, which captured the scene of Gu Zhan calling Chu Manke.

The engagement party of Meng Zhidong and Pei Jiayin begins.

The newlyweds and their parents took the stage to give speeches, thanking all the guests for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend their engagement party.

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

During the speech session, Gu Zhan was required to appear in the guest seats.

After both parents finished their speeches, he suppressed his disgust, and walked hand in hand with Ruan Meng, and went on stage as guests of honor to offer their blessings.

On stage, they have to show affection and sweetness, and their eyes are full of each other when facing the camera.

But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Gu Zhan felt.

Especially when standing on the stage, one can have a clear view of all the guests in the guest seats and can spot Chu Manke among the guests at a glance.

Chu Manke's dress today was very simple. In order not to steal Pei Jiayin's limelight, she only put on light makeup. However, in Gu Zhan's eyes, she was still so dazzling. As long as he looked at her, Gu Zhan's eyes could no longer accommodate anyone else.

Although his gaze only stayed in Chu Manke's direction for a few seconds, it was still caught by a sharp-eyed paparazzi.

Catching it once is nothing, and catching it twice is nothing.

But when Gu Zhan's eyes looked in one direction from time to time, that unintentional moment of loneliness and the uncontrollable sadness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was very unusual!

In addition, the eldest daughter of the Chu family was photographed in the corridor coming out of the lounge of Gu Station. What does this mean?

The fat paparazzi with small eyes and glasses had a weird smile on his lips.

His name is Cheng Ying. He is famous for digging up all kinds of dirt on celebrities. Recently, the internet has been flooded with searches about Gu Zhan and Ruan Meng’s relationship.

Many media outlets sent their blessings.

But he didn't think so.

He had been following and secretly photographing Gu Zhan for a long time, and had never seen any intimate contact between Gu Zhan and Ruan Meng.

He was the one who leaked the photos of the candlelight dinner at Gu Station. Although he did not take pictures of who the woman was at the date, he was sure that the woman was definitely not Ruan Meng.

Because Ruan Meng was not in Yuncheng at all at that time.

Cheng Ying was certain that Ruan Meng was dragged out by Gu Zhan to take the blame.

So who does Gu Zhan really like?

She was willing to drag Ruan Meng out to take the blame. It seemed that the woman had a very powerful background, otherwise how could she have pulled Ruan Meng over?

He must dig that person out!

As the guests who came on stage to offer blessings, Gu Zhan and Ruan Meng were inevitably asked by reporters interviewing them below the stage when they would get married.

When this question was mentioned, the expressions of Gu Zhan and Ruan Meng on the stage became unnatural.

The hands that were held together unconsciously loosened.

In the end, it was Ruan Meng who reacted first. He hugged Gu Zhan's arm tighter and smiled at the reporters in the audience.

"I don't want to get married so early! We are still young and our careers should come first!"
