Chapter 1764: Chapter 639: White Moonlight vs. Substitute (Part 4)

"Ehhh~~~~"

Just thinking of the original host’s tragic ending made Qin Anran all the more repulsed by this greasy, arrogant, nauseating scumbag Gu Hong.

She didn’t care at all what kind of humiliation and anger Gu Hong was feeling on the other end of the line, and continued coldly, "Gu Hong, you just said it yourself, our families have been long-term friends."

"Even if we can’t be lovers, we’re still childhood friends who grew up together!"

"Stop clinging to this. Otherwise, the relationship between our families might also—"

Before Qin Anran could finish, Gu Hong shouted in fury, "Enough!"

He, Gu Hong, was a Heavenly Pride Son. The only, no, the only two setbacks he’d ever suffered in his life had both been brought by Qin Anran.

The first time was when he got dumped back then, and today was the second.

Compared to the first, Gu Hong was even more furious this time—Qin Anran’s words were way too unkind.

What did she mean by that?

Was she saying that he, Gu Hong, was some shameless clingy simp?

Gu Hong was an extremely proud man. The only reason he was lowering himself this much today was his love for Qin Anran.

And what did he get for it? His sincere heart treated like trash by Qin Anran, thrown on the ground and stomped on at will!

How was the domineering CEO Gu Hong supposed to endure that?!

"Fine! I understand what you mean, Miss Qin. Don’t worry, even if I, Gu Hong, fall from grace, I’m not the type to pester shamelessly."

"...Actually, I was just saying that. I already have a girlfriend, our relationship is great, and in a few days we’re going to get engaged!"

Maybe to salvage his pride, Gu Hong actually started lying through his teeth.

Qin Anran couldn’t see his face, but she could easily imagine it.

She couldn’t help inwardly shaking her head: Tsk tsk, worthy of a domineering CEO—lose the person, but never lose the upper hand!

It was just a pity for his so-called "girlfriend."

Mm, if Qin Anran remembered right, Gu Hong’s girlfriend should be that stand-in.

As a fellow woman, especially one who believed herself to have the proper values, Qin Anran instinctively sympathized with her.

She wasn’t some home-wrecker, nor a vain schemer—she just had the same dreamy, romantic heart as most daughters, thinking she’d found her destined Prince Charming, never realizing she’d been nothing but a stand-in from beginning to end.

Right now, before Gu Hong has even broken up with her, he’s already running over here to bare his heart to his ex, Qin Anran.

What does he take He Mengtian for?

A Tool Man he can use whenever he wants?

Scumbag!

For the Nth time, Qin Anran cursed him fiercely in her heart.

"Congratulations."

Suppressing her disgust, Qin Anran offered Gu Hong a faint blessing.

Gu Hong: ...

He was so pissed by Qin Anran that his face flushed red and the veins in his neck bulged.

If not for a sliver of reason holding him back, he might have lost control again.

"Th-thanks!" Clenching his back molars, Gu Hong squeezed the two words out between his teeth.

"...Goodbye." Qin Anran felt they had nothing left to say and simply declared the conversation over.

Gu Hong truly had a competitive streak. Hearing Qin Anran be so "heartless," he refused to admit defeat, and forced himself to sound casual as he echoed, "Goodbye!"

It was just that his tone was a little stiff, which only showed that his mood was nowhere near as relaxed as Qin Anran’s.

Gu Hong didn’t notice any of this. He tried to hang up before Qin Anran, but his hand was just a tad too slow.

As soon as she heard his "goodbye," Qin Anran crisply hung up on the next second.

Hearing the beeping "doo-doo-doo," Gu Hong finally snapped and flung his phone away.

Bang!

Crack!

The phone split, the screen shattered.

He Tiantian, who was hiding in the bathroom sneaking a look, saw the blacked-out phone and could only shrug helplessly.

This domineering CEO wasn’t just a proud, conceited, arrogant, selfish scumbag—he clearly had some buried violent tendencies too.

Smashing things at the drop of a hat was a sign he couldn’t fully control his emotions.

A guy like this could only exist in those old-school romance novels. Put him in the "new era," and he’d instantly turn into a villain, a male side character!

And he still wants to be the male lead?

Keep dreaming!

With his phone smashed to bits, He Tiantian couldn’t keep peeking at the screen and had no choice but to come out of the bathroom.

She knew Gu Hong’s "anger" still hadn’t been fully vented.

Next, he’d definitely pull more ridiculous stunts.

Like, say, a proposal!

"Mengtian, come with me!"

He Tiantian had just tidied up her makeup and returned to the office when Gu Hong pushed the door open and walked in.

His face had already returned to calm, his gaze toward He Tiantian was cold and indifferent, and his tone was even a bit stiff.

He Tiantian cursed "you big pig trotter" inwardly, but still had to maintain the original host’s persona.
