MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 9 - Season 15 Episode 46

Gu Jingyan frowned and said, “I already told you. I only think of you as a friend. Ceng Kai, don’t do this, alright?”

Of course, Ceng Kai didn’t give up so easily. “Jingyan, I really will treat you very well.”

“It’s not a question of whether or not you’ll treat me well. The reason is that I don’t like you at all.”

Ceng Kai went after her. Seeing that there were so many people looking at them, he still hoped that she would give him some face in front of all these people and simply not reject him here.

“Everyone is watching. Jingyan, don’t be so shy anymore, alright?”

Gu Jingyan felt even more disgusted. “No matter how many people are watching, I won’t agree to such an unreasonable request from you just because you do this.”

There was a pained expression on Ceng Kai’s face. “Jingyan, don’t be like this.”

But Gu Jingyan was not planning to give him any more opportunities to speak.

“Enough. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Quickly pack up and leave too.”

Gu Jingyan turned around and left.

Everyone was dumbstruck. They had initially thought that Gu Jingyan would at least be a little touched at his romantic gesture…

But they did not expect her to be so heartless and simply reject him.

There was no way Ceng Kai could have imagined that Gu Jingyan would be so ruthless towards him today.

He caught up to her and yelled, “Jingyan, don’t leave! What did I do wrong that made you so angry? Is it because you don’t like me doing this? I’m sorry. I won’t do this the next time. I really just wanted to give you a surprise.”

Gu Jingyan looked at him. “It wasn’t a surprise, but I was quite frightened. Don’t do this again. This is a school. We’re still students. If you do this, it will have an adverse impact on everyone.”

“I… I didn’t consider so many things but I genuinely like you.”

“Well then, I’ve already said that I don’t like you. Just leave.”

“Jingyan, no. I want an answer from you. Don’t leave.”

Ceng Kai tugged at her again. “Jingyan. Why are you treating me this way? I thought you were very concerned about me too? You could go against Lu Beichen for my sake. Why can’t you try going out with me seriously? I really need you. I feel that you’re the girl who has moved my heart the most. Without you, I may not have feelings for anyone else. I mean it…”

“My goodness. Just because you like me, I have to be with you? What logic is this? Let go of me.” She felt that he was a bit possessed by the devil now. He was no longer listening to her.

“No. Don’t leave. I can’t go on without you…”

Gu Jingyan was truly frustrated.

Meanwhile.

Old Xu and the others had already gotten wind of this incident and rushed over directly. The worst thing was that Old Xu had also called Lu Beichen immediately.

On Lu Beichen’s end, he slammed the table right away.

“Ha. I knew this Ceng Kai was up to no good. It’s a pity that Gu Jingyan refused to listen to me no matter what. This time, she really had it coming for her.”

Fu Chenxi was shocked and hastily asked, “What happened? Beichen, what happened?”

Lu Beichen said, “Gu Jingyan. Come on, let’s go back first.”

“What?”

Fu Chenxi looked at the steak that had just been served and could not really bear to leave. But she nevertheless had no choice but to leave with Lu Beichen.

Back in school.

Gu Jingyan was still saying to Ceng Kai, “Move aside. Don’t follow me anymore, alright?”

But Ceng Kai refused to listen. “Gu Jingyan…”

The moment he finished speaking, he felt someone push him aside directly.

They turned their heads.

Lu Beichen had arrived.

Ceng Kai did not expect Lu Beichen to come.

He pulled Ceng Kai aside and moved Gu Jingyan behind him swiftly.

The others had come along with him too.

Gu Jingyan looked up. “You guys…”

Old Xu said, “I informed him. This person is clinging to you like this. How can we possibly stand watching him do it?”

Lu Beichen stared at Ceng Kai with cold eyes. “Get further away from us.”

Ceng Kai had been chasing Gu Jingyan for so long earlier that his face was now shining with sweat. He looked at them and felt even more anxious for a moment. To begin with, Gu Jingyan had not agreed. And now they were getting involved too.

Everyone said that nice girls were afraid of persistent boys. He was thinking exactly of pestering Gu Jingyan and making her agree.

But now, these people had appeared.

Ceng Kai looked at them. “This is something between me and Gu Jingyan.”

Lu Beichen scoffed briefly. He shielded Gu Jingyan and looked at Ceng Kai. “Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being lumped together with Gu Jingyan? If she agrees, then it’s something between the two of you. If she doesn’t agree, then it involves us.”

Old Xu also said, “Ceng Kai, you’re in the wrong here. Gu Jingyan has already said that she doesn’t like you. What are you doing now?”

Ceng Kai looked at them. “No. She still cares about me. Can’t you guys stop interfering with us?”

Little Q also said, “What care did she show you? You’re so shameless. Let it go if you’re a man. You’re so wishy-washy. It would be difficult for Gu Jingyan to like you.”

“I… I’m not being wishy-washy. I’m like this when I genuinely like someone…”

“Shut up. You harass someone when you genuinely like her? Ha. You’re not a man. I’ll say this again. Get as far away as possible. If I see you harass Gu Jingyan again, I won’t let you off,” Lu Beichen bluntly interrupted him.

Ceng Kai looked at him. “You… Who do you think you are? Why must you behave this way?”

Lu Beichen scoffed. “Why can’t I do this?”

“You… Aren’t you on bad terms with Gu Jingyan?”

Lu Beichen said, “Which one of your eyes saw that we’re not on good terms? Oh, you’re talking about our argument, right?”

Lu Beichen turned his head to glance at Gu Jingyan.

Gu Jingyan pursed her lips and looked at Lu Beichen in front of her.

Lu Beichen scoffed and said, “No matter how we argue, that’s our private matter. What does that have to do with you? We’re still friends no matter how we argue. That’s something that people like you won’t understand.”

Old Xu said, “Exactly. No matter what, we won’t let outsiders bully Jingyan.”

Ceng Kai looked at them, puzzled. Why were they so protective of Gu Jingyan?

“Hmph. You guys… You guys are not intending to do something to Gu Jingyan, right?” Ceng Kai said with a malicious expression.

Old Xu scowled. “What do you mean?”

Ceng Kai said, “You guys think Gu Jingyan is beautiful, so you want to do something to her. Jingyan, don’t fall into their trap. People like them can’t possibly be good people.”

Hearing this, Old Xu laughed even more loudly.

“Enough. You don’t even understand Gu Jingyan. What do we want to do to her? I have to be brave enough, right? All else aside, she’s such a masculine woman. She’s not my type either.”

Of course, Ceng Kai did not believe it. He looked at Lu Beichen confidently.

Little Q said, “What a dumb fool. You don’t know that Gu Jingyan is none other than the Fourth Young Miss of the Gu family? We would have to be stupidly brave to bully her.”

Ceng Kai’s brow furrowed. “What Fourth Young Miss of the Gu family?”

Old Xu laughed. “That’s why I said you don’t know anything at all, yet you dare to court Gu Jingyan. Hmph. She’s the Fourth Young Miss of the Gu family. Why don’t you look at your own family background and see if you’re worthy of her?!”
