The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

The air pressure in the car was so high that it was hard to breathe. Chu Tiancheng didn't say a word after getting in the car and sat in the back with Zhou Chu. Assistant Fang was driving.

Zhou Chu cautiously glanced at Chu Tiancheng every now and then, only to see him resting with his eyes closed, showing no intention of speaking.

This is even more unbearable than directly questioning or scolding someone.

There's a saying that goes something like this: punishment itself isn't scary; it's the process of waiting for punishment that's most mentally taxing.

Because you never know when the knife hanging over your head will fall.

Once the car stopped, Assistant Fang turned around and called out, "President Chu, we've arrived."

Chu Tiancheng lazily opened his eyes, his gaze bright and alert, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

He turned to look at Zhou Chu, who looked nervous, and said in a cold, indifferent voice, "What are you still standing there for? Get out of the car."

Zhou Chu smiled timidly, "Cousin, it's getting late, I won't disturb your rest."

"You always put in so much effort, and as your younger brother, I can't help you or cause you any trouble, so I'll go back now."

Chu Tiancheng waited for him to finish speaking before chuckling softly, "What are you afraid of?"

Zhou Chu swallowed hard, forcing a calm expression: "No, what am I afraid of? Our brotherly relationship has always been pretty good."

Chu Tiancheng stared at him quietly for two seconds, then his expression suddenly fell, and his tone became more serious: "Get out of the car."

Zhou Chu was startled, then looked at Chu Tiancheng and obediently got out of the car.

Assistant Fang didn't dare to make a sound. He had been by Chu Tiancheng's side for several years and knew that Chu Tiancheng's anger was at its peak.

"You go back first."

Chu Tiancheng said this and got out of the car.

Assistant Fang watched him walk ahead while Zhou Chu followed cautiously behind. He guessed that Zhou Chu must have lost his mind again today, provoking Chu Tiancheng. Didn't he know that Chu Tiancheng was his sugar daddy who supported him?

He really thinks he's some kind of young master.

Chu Tiancheng went straight in when he got home. Since he wasn't coming home for dinner, Aunt Wang didn't come over either. Chu Tiancheng turned on the light, and Zhou Chu stood at the door, looking hesitant, unsure whether he should come in.

"What are you doing standing still?"

Looking at Chu Tiancheng's obviously murderous gaze, Zhou Chu was really afraid that his cousin would tear him to pieces right there. He put his hand in his pocket and tightened his grip on his phone.

But inside, he was wailing, wondering why his dear mother wasn't calling him.

Seeing him being taken away by his cousin, weren't you worried about his safety?

"Oh, here...coming."

He went inside, looked at the clean floor, and nervously took out disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet to change.

When he looked up, he saw Chu Tiancheng enter the room. He stood in the middle of the living room with the look of an obedient child, waiting to be dealt with.

When Chu Tiancheng came out in sportswear, Zhou Chu tensed up the moment he saw him.

"Cousin, what's this?"

Chu Tiancheng went over and took a glass of warm water. Without inviting Zhou Chu, he finished drinking it and said, "Come to the gym with me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu knew he was in trouble, and he quickly admitted his mistake: "Cousin, it's alright, I know I was wrong."

Seeing how quickly he admitted defeat, Chu Tiancheng raised an eyebrow mockingly: "What did you do to deserve this?"

"Let me hear it."

How do you say this?

You can't exactly say he wanted to steal his girlfriend, can you?

"me..."

Chu Tiancheng walked towards the gym, passed by him, and scoffed, "Come in."

When Song Ke returned home, her mother followed her and asked, "Ke Ke, what exactly happened tonight? You didn't say anything, leaving our family unsure of which direction to take."

"Didn't you used to like Chu Tiancheng the most and always want to marry him? Although he said those things tonight, I don't think he meant to refuse. That's much better than his attitude before."

"Tell us what you're thinking."

Listening to her mother's incessant questions, Song Ke sighed inwardly and said earnestly, "Mom, don't worry about me so much. I know what I'm doing."

"Besides, look how old I am. Why are you in such a hurry to get engaged? What if I meet someone better in the future? I'll just be left watching helplessly."

Song's mother was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and looked surprised: "No, what do you mean? What better? Is there anyone better than Chu Tiancheng in Yuncheng? What are you thinking? Don't talk nonsense."

The next day was the weekend, and since she didn't have to work, Song Keke slept in comfortably.

In the afternoon, I suddenly received a call from Gu Qing.

"Song Ke, are you free right now?"

Gu Qing's voice sounded flustered, as if something had happened.

Song Ke immediately said, "It's nothing, I'm at home. Gu Qing, what's wrong?"

Gu Qing's voice trembled slightly; "Could you do me a favor? Something happened to me back in Fengshan. Could you come and pick me up?"

Song Ke was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Okay, send me your location."

"What happened? Can I handle this myself?"

After hanging up the phone, Song Ke quickly changed her clothes and went out. She only looked conflicted after getting into the car.

Shouldn't this kind of hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story be the male lead's?

Thinking of this, Song Ke sent Chu Tiancheng a message, along with her location, before feeling relieved.

Sitting in the car, she figured since she was already out, she might as well go shopping. To be honest, she used to just look around when she went shopping but never bought anything. Now, she was swiping her card everywhere, and it felt so good.

She was tired from shopping and took a break at a coffee shop when she saw a familiar figure from behind.

It was that tall, thin guy I'd met at the hospital. A couple of minutes later, another person sat down in front of him. He looked very polite, like an insurance salesman.

She didn't know what they were talking about, but then she saw that the tall, thin man was begging for help. Song Keke didn't pay much attention to him. After sitting for a while, she was invited to a private party by an old friend. Since she was bored anyway, she went.

result.

Coincidentally, she saw that tall, thin man again, looking very intimate with a young lady. Song Ke couldn't help but pat her friend next to her and ask, "Who's that guy next to Li Tong? I've never seen him before."

The girl immediately laughed and gossiped, "Who else could it be but her new boyfriend? Don't worry about her, you know she changes boyfriends quickly."

Another girl chimed in, "Yes, yes, look at Li Tong's boyfriend's face. He's probably been exploited terribly. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was some young girl."

"Tch, someone who looks like that wants to be a servant? There are no limits to how high they can go?"

"I don't know what kind of taste Li Tong has, she always picks the unpopular ones."

As they talked, the topic eventually turned to Song Ke again.

"Keke, I heard that your family had dinner with the Chu family yesterday. Did Chu Tiancheng finally give in to your pestering?"

"What are you saying? It's clearly our Keke who's more charming."

"Oh, that's true. One of my cousins ​​works at Chu Tiancheng's company. I heard her department is right next to Gu Qing's. They say she's aloof and has offended quite a few people."

"Really? Is it because of Chu Tiancheng's relationship that he's looking down on everyone? That's not arrogance, it's just that he's picky."

"Keke, are you two getting engaged? I think only you are a good match for the Chu family. Chu Tiancheng and Gu Qing are not a good match. Even if he agrees, the Chu family will not."

"That's hard to say. I remember something from a few years ago that was about the two of them."

Song Ke listened and stared at her with curiosity.
