After the scumbag Bai Yueguang returned to China, the rich daughter stopped pretending

Ruan Chutang looked up at him, puzzled. "What?"

Gu Zechuan thought, maybe she was still angry and didn't want to give him the gift so quickly. It didn't matter, he could give her a way out first.

His tone was a little gentle, "I had a bad tone in the store just now, don't be angry."

Is that okay?

Ruan Chutang sighed, looked up at him, and said seriously, "I'm not angry."

Gu Zechuan disagreed, "You say one thing and mean another."

"Whatever you think."

Gu Zechuan became impatient when he heard this.

"Ruan Chutang, I've already apologized to you, what else do you want?"

Ruan Chutang continued to pack up his things and replied calmly, "I don't need your apology."

Gu Zechuan stared at her intently for a few seconds.

After a moment, he asked unnaturally, "Where's the gift?"

Ruan Chutang turned to look at him, "What gift?"

"Jiang Yuzhou said he saw you buy me a watch." Gu Zechuan said, "Didn't you buy it to apologize to me and coax me into buying it? I'm back now, and you're not going to take it out?"

Ruan Chutang was about to say that it wasn't for you, but Gu Zechuan continued to speak to himself, "That's enough. It's pointless to keep making a fuss."

Ruan Chutang suddenly laughed when he heard this.

Gu Zechuan frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's funny what you said." Ruan Chutang looked into Gu Zechuan's peach blossom eyes and replied, "I did buy a watch, but it wasn't for you. I don't think I did anything wrong. Why should I bow my head and apologize to you?"

"You didn't buy it for me? Then who did you buy it for?" Anger rose in Gu Zechuan's eyes and his fists tightened unconsciously.

"It's none of your business." Ruan Chutang answered calmly.

"It's none of my business?" Gu Zechuan was furious. "I'm your boyfriend! Why can't I control you buying gifts for other men?"

Compared to Gu Zechuan's anger, Ruan Chutang was much calmer.

She looked at Gu Zechuan with amusement, "Aren't you Chen Wan's boyfriend?"

Gu Zechuan subconsciously explained: "Chen Wan and I don't have that kind of relationship."

His voice was much softer than when he questioned earlier, and he spoke with a lack of confidence because he felt guilty.

His and Chen Wan's current relationship is more like lovers than a couple.

He had done everything he shouldn't have done, but his nominal girlfriend was still Ruan Chutang.

He liked Chen Wan's enthusiasm and openness, and her proactive teasing, but he also liked Ruan Chutang's pretty face and gentle and sensible personality.

He didn't want to tell Ruan Chutang so soon that he and Chen Wan were together.

Gu Zechuan explained, "It was indeed my mother's idea that Chen Wan and I go look at rings today. However, we didn't go to buy a ring for Chen Wan. We went to help my mother. She bought a new dress and she said she didn't have any suitable jewelry to match it with."

"My mom said Chen Wan has good taste and knows how to match things together, so she asked her to go with me. We didn't just look at rings, but also necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. We had to carefully choose all of these to match her new dress. I know you misunderstood, but I was furious at the time, so I deliberately didn't explain to make you jealous."

"Jealous?" Ruan Chutang's eyes were cold. "You knew I would be jealous?"

"Chu Tang, I'm sorry..."

Ruan Chutang said coldly: "I received your apology, but I don't accept it. The gift is definitely not for you."

Gu Zechuan's voice suddenly rose several degrees, "Who did you buy it for?"

"fiancé."

"Haha, Ruan Chutang, you're really willing to say anything to force me into marriage." Gu Zechuan sneered, "You mean, only if I agree to marry you and become your fiancé will you give me the gift and forgive me, right?"

Ruan Chutang frowned. Why is this man so narcissistic?

Where does his confidence come from? Does he really think that she must be with him?

Gu Zechuan's eyes were filled with disappointment. He looked at Ruan Chutang and shook his head repeatedly, "Ruan Chutang, I thought you understood the unbridgeable gap between us. I thought you would understand, but you keep forcing me to get married. I'm really disappointed."

Ruan Chutang: “?”

After saying this, Gu Zechuan turned and left.

The bedroom door was slammed shut with a bang.

Ruan Chutang shook his head helplessly.

She had originally wanted to take advantage of today's incident to have a good talk with him about breaking up, and then tell him that she was the daughter of the Ruan family in Jiangcheng and was about to go back to get engaged to Jiang Shixu, but he did not give her a chance to speak.

Ruan Chutang thought, perhaps Gu Zechuan was so sure that she was determined to marry him because she gave him the confidence.

In the past, she always played the role of an obedient and sensible girlfriend. She never checked on him, never got jealous, and never asked too much about his privacy. Except for having physical intimacy with him and doing that kind of thing, she almost always agreed to his requests.

This may have given him the illusion that "she can't live without him."

He didn't know that the reason she was so sensible was because she had long known that he had no intention of having a future with her.

A year ago, she wanted to take Gu Zechuan back to Jiangcheng and tell him that she was the daughter of the Jiang family, but she accidentally heard him talking on the phone with his mother Meng Yaqin.

"Mom, don't worry. I know you won't agree to her marrying into the Gu family. I'm just dating her. If we really want to get married, she'll have to get past you first."

"Your son isn't a love-sick person. I can still distinguish between marriage and love."

What a clear-headed person.

From then on, she knew that Gu Zechuan had no intention of staying with her until the end.

To put it bluntly, Gu Zechuan didn't like her that much either.

But she is not the kind of woman who would risk her life for love.

She can take it or leave it. Since Gu Zechuan only wants to have a relationship, then let him have it. She needs companionship and emotional value. In this strange city where she has no relatives, she needs a warm embrace, that's all.

She protected herself very well, including her first kiss and first night.

Why not break up earlier?

Because I liked him at that time and was used to his company.

Human emotions are very complex, and many times they are not either this or that, or black or white.

After that incident, she never mentioned the fact that she was the daughter of a wealthy family.

But after knowing that she was just a substitute, she suddenly felt very boring.

She could accept that her relationship with Gu Zechuan had no future, and that he didn't love her that much, but she couldn't accept that Gu Zechuan treated her as a substitute for Chen Wan.

She is Ruan Chutang, she is just herself.

……

Ruan Chutang didn't expect that Gu Zechuan's mother, Ms. Meng Yaqin, would come to her door.

Meng Yaqin was wearing a dark blue silk cheongsam, precious sapphire earrings and a necklace, and the pigeon egg jewels on her hand were similar in color to her clothes. Just as Gu Zechuan said, she was a wealthy lady who would buy a whole set of jewelry to match a dress.

"Are you Ruan Chutang?" The rich lady looked at her as if she were looking at an unpleasant object, her eyes full of criticism.

Ruan Chutang greeted politely: "Hello, Aunt Meng."

"Yeah." Meng Yaqin walked into the room, her eyes wandering around before finally landing on Ruan Chutang. "I've heard everything about you and Zechuan."

Meng Yaqin sat down on the sofa, her legs together and placed sideways. She had an elegant posture, but the words she said were not elegant at all.

"A girl like you still wants to marry into the Gu family?"
