Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 796: Have You Ever Thought About Making Our Fake Relationship Real?

The conversation between Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui took a turn for the worse.

After lunch, Sheng Tang wanted to go home and rest, and Gu Jiahui offered to drive her.

In the car, the enclosed space made Sheng Tang bring up her doubts: "Honestly, when I refused to join Fu Qingcen’s movie project and you agreed with me, I thought you had feelings for me.

Later, you suggested I should go out and have fun on my own, and I dismissed that idea. To be honest, did you ever think about turning our fake relationship into a real one?"

Gu Jiahui rolled his eyes dramatically.

Sheng Tang chuckled, "Just asking."

Gu Jiahui: "Never thought about it."

"Why not?"

"I don’t like women who are too smart," Gu Jiahui said. "In front of you, I don’t have the upper hand, I constantly have to guard against being outsmarted.

As for Fu Qingcen’s project, I didn’t expect you to be so successful. Plans always fall short of change. When we initially signed the contract, I intended to use you as a stepping stone for Fu Qingcen.

Now it seems like the opposite. Fu Qingcen doesn’t even qualify to be your stepping stone; she can’t elevate your status. I’m a businessman, and interests come first. Next time, don’t be so narcissistic."

Sheng Tang spread her hands.

After finishing, while waiting at the traffic light, Gu Jiahui turned his head slightly to look at her: "I’ve said my piece, now be honest, are you really just looking for a relationship, or is it because of Gu Shiting?"

Sheng Tang hesitated.

Her hesitation explained everything.

"Do you want to go back to him?" Gu Jiahui’s voice was cold. He sped up the car as the light turned green.

Sheng Tang leaned back slightly due to the sudden acceleration.

"Have you forgotten about the past?" Gu Jiahui asked coldly, driving the car far faster than it should be in the city.

He was very angry.

He didn’t love her, even suggested she find a young fling, but was furious at her wanting to return to Gu Shiting.

Perhaps his feelings towards Gu Shiting were deeper than towards Sheng Tang.

Thinking about this, Sheng Tang couldn’t help but chuckle.

She sighed, fearing a car accident, she stopped speaking to avoid further angering Gu Jiahui.

The city traffic was dense, and no matter how angry, Gu Jiahui wouldn’t crash into others, the speed slowed down due to the congestion.

Sheng Tang then said, "I’m afraid to forget the past, and I can’t forget my grandmother. But I am scared..."

"Scared of what?"

"I’m scared of being alone in the future." Sheng Tang said seriously, without any sadness in her tone, "You will marry Yang Mingming, my parents will age, my younger brother will have his own family.

By then, I’ll be alone. I want to give myself a chance, if I really need a partner, I’m willing to go back to Gu Shiting.

As for my grandmother... she’s no longer here, any assumption is meaningless. I’d rather live with guilt for the rest of my life than live in loneliness."

Gu Jiahui seemed suddenly moved.

Sheng Tang’s words struck a chord within him.

Perhaps, it’s only by sharing similar feelings that one can understand Sheng Tang’s meaning.

But Sheng Tang didn’t understand why Gu Jiahui could empathize with this loneliness?

In the future he imagined, would he also be alone?

The car fell into silence.

Sheng Tang added, "The contract, you have the final say. If you don’t agree to terminate it, I won’t force it. Even if I make a lot of money, I won’t throw fifty million in your face. After all, you gave me a hand, and I will always be grateful to you."

Gu Jiahui’s lips tugged into a faint smile, a very reluctant smile.
