Chapter 1763: Chapter 638: White Moonlight vs. Substitute (Part 3)

At that time, when Gu Hong was most "deeply in love" with He Mengtian, he turned a blind eye to such harmless little jokes.

He Tiantian, possessing exceptional computer skills, easily accessed Gu Hong’s phone using this app.

She began secretly reviewing chat logs, call logs, various emails, and messages in the background.

Soon, He Tiantian found what she was looking for—

A WeChat message, "Gu Hong, when I broke up with you back then, it was because I fell for someone else!"

"Although I’ve now broken up with that person, I still prefer passionate and romantic lovers, not a workaholic like you!"

So, even if I come back, I’m not going to rekindle our past love, you better give up!

The sender didn’t explicitly state the last sentence, but anyone with a bit of sense could figure it out.

There’s no need to ask, this message must have been sent by Qin Anran.

He Tiantian narrowed her eyes, indeed, Qin Anran was up to something suspicious!

Because according to the original storyline, Qin Anran returned to the country this time just to seduce Gu Hong.

Even if she wanted to play hard to get and retreat as a strategy, she wouldn’t have said something so obviously hurtful to someone’s self-esteem.

Qin Anran was sincerely trying to cut off Gu Hong’s hopes, she really wanted to terminate any possibility of rekindling an old flame with him!

Of course, such decisive words could also be explained away.

For example, if Qin Anran "regrets" later, she could explain: "I said that because I was so angry, I completely lost my mind!"

"Why did you get a girlfriend? I’ve only been gone for a few years, how could you forget about me so quickly!"

"I couldn’t help it, I was even jealous of that woman, so I deliberately said things to make you upset!"

"...Ah Hong, I love you so much that I lost myself, loved you until I became hideous!"

He Tiantian didn’t even need to see it with her own eyes, she could imagine Qin Anran’s excuse words based on the novel’s depiction of her.

Even Gu Hong, with his strong first love filter, wouldn’t believe Qin Anran to be a heartless person.

Look at this, Gu Hong returned to the office angrily, and slumped down on the sofa.

He loosened his tie, took out his mobile phone, and stared at the half-an-hour-old message for a long while before dialing that number which he knew by heart.

"Anran, it’s me!"

As soon as the call was connected, without waiting for the person on the other side to utter more harsh words, Gu Hong hurriedly said, "I saw the message you sent, but I don’t believe what you said!"

"...Fine, even if a ten thousand steps back, you fell for someone else and no longer love me, I still want to ask you for a chance!"

"Anran, I really, really, really love you! Plus, we grew up together, my parents and your parents both hope we can be together!"

"I know, there must be a reason you said these things. Anran, if there’s anything, please tell me directly, okay? Don’t bear it alone, let’s face it and solve it together, okay?"

Gu Hong’s words were humble yet affectionate.

He even took the initiative to find reasons for Qin Anran.

Qin Anran: ...Don’t do this, you are just a scumbag playing the substitute trope, yet you make yourself look like a deeply affectionate and good man.

Should I laugh, or should I laugh, or should I laugh?!

Holding back the discomfort, Qin Anran, with a cold voice and a trace of impatience, as if Gu Hong was some clingy pest.

"Gu Hong, we’re all adults, I know what I’m saying, and please don’t imagine things!"

"There’s no compelled reason, it’s just simple incompatibility! I don’t love you, and I don’t want a partner like you."

"If you can accept this fact, we can still be friends!"

"If you refuse to accept it, let’s just pretend we don’t know each other!"

Qin Anran really didn’t want to have any entanglement with a scumbag like Gu Hong.

Thinking he was deeply in love with his White Moonlight, but in reality, it was extremely disgusting!

What kind of person is she, Qin Anran, to be easily replaced by someone else?

She is unique, irreplaceable!

And Gu Hong, who uses substitutes, is not some affectionate good man but an utterly disgusting top-grade jerk.

Not to mention, how cruel and heartless he is after turning against someone.

Thinking about the fate of the original protagonist in the book, Qin Anran couldn’t wait to clear her ties with Gu Hong.

Of course, the original protagonist’s tragic end was also of her own doing.

But, undeniably, Gu Hong was truly cruel to the original protagonist...
