Chapter 1765 - 639: White Moonlight vs Substitute (Part 4)_2

Chapter 1765: Chapter 639: White Moonlight vs Substitute (Part 4)_2

Her face was full of surprise, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes flickering with a radiant light.

The expression of a little woman anticipating her lover, He Tiantian captured perfectly.

Seeing "He Mengtian" react like this, Gu Hong, who was discouraged and frustrated by Qin Anran, suddenly felt comforted.

"I told you, how could any woman not like me?"

"Qin Anran is an exception, and I am still quite popular!"

The male pride regained respect, and Gu Hong’s mood greatly improved.

Earlier, when he told Qin Anran he was going to marry his girlfriend, it was mostly out of spite.

But now, seeing "He Mengtian’s" similar appearance to Qin Anran, yet having a completely different gentleness and affection, he suddenly felt that marrying "He Mengtian" wasn’t a bad idea!

"Emily?"

Gu Hong winked at his chief secretary Emily Meng.

Emily understood quickly, nodded, and after watching Gu Hong leave hand in hand with He Tiantian, she swiftly picked up the phone to book a table at Chairman Gu’s favorite restaurant.

Then, she quickly sent Gu Hong a message confirming that the arrangements had been made.

Sitting in the car, Gu Hong glanced at Emily’s message on his new phone and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mengtian, I’ve been so busy these past few days that I neglected you for a while, you don’t blame me, do you?"

When Qin Anran wasn’t involved, Gu Hong’s IQ and EQ were intact.

His observant abilities were also very sharp.

Thus, sitting in the back seat of the car with He Tiantian, their heads almost touching, Gu Hong noticed He Tiantian’s reddened eyes and freshly adjusted makeup.

Did she cry?

Soon, Gu Hong thought of Qin Anran’s return not being a secret, and it had already spread within the Gu Group.

And Gu Hong’s excitement, along with arrangements made by Emily and others, were not intentionally hidden.

So, the latest gossip in the Gu Group these past few days was surely "Chairman Gu’s old flame returns, new flame about to lose favor."

At this point, Gu Hong had yet to realize that he had begun to like He Mengtian.

He only considered He Mengtian as a substitute for his White Moonlight.

But even as a substitute, after several months together, some feelings had developed.

Perhaps it wasn’t love, but it was a certain kind of familiarity and harmony like that between acquaintances.

Gu Hong couldn’t give He Mengtian love, and perhaps would break up with her soon, but he never considered treating this woman harshly.

Regardless, she had accompanied him for several months.

Moreover, He Mengtian’s gentle and kind character as Gu’s girlfriend had never abused her position, never caused trouble for Gu Hong.

Gu Hong had long considered that when he broke up with He Mengtian, he would properly compensate her.

With the changes in circumstances now, Gu Hong not only couldn’t break up with He Mengtian immediately but also needed to use her to provoke Qin Anran.

Gu Hong’s limited conscience gave rise to a tinge of guilt.

He then showed extra tenderness and patience towards He Mengtian.

"...No, I don’t blame you!"

He Tiantian pretended to understand, clearly feeling wronged inside, yet still spoke with generosity.

Gu Hong seemed to overlook the yielding and compromising at He Tiantian’s eyes, once he heard He Tiantian say "I don’t blame you," he truly seemed comforted.

"As long as you don’t blame me!"

Gu Hong raised his hand to gently rub He Tiantian’s hand.

He Tiantian showed a shy, sweet smile, cautiously snuggling beside Gu Hong, very much like a humble, devoted little woman.

Gu Hong was very satisfied with He Tiantian’s gentleness and increasingly felt he had chosen well for a substitute!

The car soon arrived at a high-end Japanese restaurant.

This was one of the restaurants that Gu Hong frequently visited.

As his girlfriend, the original female lead had come here several times.

However, every visit left the original female lead feeling somewhat uneasy.

Expensive!

Truly expensive!

Just a small dish, which could be finished in two bites, costs hundreds.

A meal there easily starts with five figures.

Her half-year’s food expenses all went into it.

The original female lead knew Gu Hong had money, but every time she came to such a high-end venue, she always felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

He Tiantian, adhering to the original personality, starts feeling a bit uneasy upon entering the Japanese restaurant.

During the meal, she was more nervous, afraid she might overreact or make a mistake, embarrassing Gu Hong and causing ridicule.

Seeing He Tiantian so anxious, Gu Hong couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
