She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor-Chapter 109: Pei Chang breathed a sigh of relief and gained confidence
Chapter 109
Gu Qing hadn't noticed the man standing beside her the entire time.
The intensity and calculation in this man's eyes were too obvious!
Inside Xuyang Palace, Pei Changying clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with possessiveness. As Gu Sang's husband and her heaven, how could he not see that this boyfriend had ulterior motives towards Gu Sang?!
Gu Sang!
You're not allowed to ride in his car!
I forbid it!
You belong to me, I know I was wrong before...
In the livestream, Gu Qing glanced at Chen Yun's boyfriend with disdain. The fiery girl, spoiled by endless affection, rolled her eyes in disgust. "Well, well, well, Sang-sang, is this your friend?"
"No," Gu Sang shook her head.
"Good. I hate men who hang car keys from their belt loops. Is that a... hmm? Well, I don't recognize that cheap brand."
"Get in the car!"
"Why are you just standing there? I... I... I specially... I personally drove by to give you a ride. Hurry up!"
The car door opened automatically, drawing envious looks from passersby.
Gu Sang smiled, ruffled Gu Qing's messy hair, and then unceremoniously got into the car.
Gu Qing's ears turned bright red.
Her mind was screaming, but outwardly she remained as cool as a cucumber. She shifted into the wrong gear, causing the sports car to back up a few meters before she hastily braked, then zoomed forward!
"Phew..."
"I knew Sang-sang still cared about me. Otherwise, why would she reject other men's advances?" Pei Changying breathed a sigh of relief at the scene.
The corners of his mouth curled into a confident and charming smile.
Pei Changying knew that Gu Sang understood propriety. Her previous actions were just to make him jealous!
At crucial moments, Gu Sang would never betray him. As he pondered this, Pei Changying's mood lightened, his eyes filled with affection.
This scene was watched clearly by Empress Gu Qingrou from a corner of Xuyang Palace. She closed her eyes in pain and quietly left.
Meanwhile, in the modern world, Chen Yun's boyfriend, ignored by both sisters, clenched his fists tightly.
Seeing Gu Sang leave without even a glance at him, he could barely maintain his smile.
Only after the supercar had completely turned at the traffic light ahead did Chen Yun's boyfriend's expression darken. Flushed with anger and humiliation, he cursed, "It's just good luck in reincarnation. That fortune isn't even self-made. What's there to be so arrogant about?"
"Without good parents, you'd be nothing."
"I'm a graduate student, and I've already passed the written exam for the civil service. In terms of personal merit, I'm no worse than you. What's there to be proud of?"
The boyfriend felt his dignity trampled, putting on the air of a principled man who despised materialism and wealth.
Yet his hands couldn't help but open a car app to search for the price of the sports car Gu Qing was driving.
Meanwhile, in the car, Gu Qing was chattering away with a serious expression: "Sang-sang this, Sang-sang that?"
"Oh, your friend, Sang-sang! How intimate!"
"He called you so familiarly, anyone would think he was your boyfriend. I've seen plenty of these stingy, arrogant types. Your identity is all over the internet now. You'll meet lots of sleazy men trying to leech off you and marry into money. Don't let them fool you."
"Life's hard enough already. Being with a man who makes you suffer more is just stupid!"
"Let me tell you, based on my years of internet experience, he definitely wants to hook up with you, then use the Gu family to climb up. Once he's secure, he'll get rid of you - affairs, car accidents, illegitimate children, crematoriums, he'll give you the works in no time."
"Did you see how he looked at you? His eyes were glowing! He looked at my car with more love than he'd look at the God of Wealth!"
"It makes me so angry!"
Those bastards!
They all want to hurt Sang-sang.
We just rescued her from the mountains, and now another scumbag shows up!
His eyes were glowing green as he stared at her bag. He might as well have stuck himself to it. You could tell at a glance he was trying to climb the social ladder.
Greed for wealth knows no gender.
Women like faithful, passionate, tall, rich, and handsome men. Men are even more fond of beautiful, rich women who come with dowries! There are plenty of men who ride on their wives' family wealth, only to turn heartless later.
Listening to Gu Qing's endless chatter, Gu Sang nodded seriously in agreement: "Don't worry, sis. In this life, I only love wealth and luxury. I don't seek even a shred of true love."
"He's Chen Yun's boyfriend. He saw I was having trouble getting a taxi and wanted to give me a ride."
"He probably, possibly, maybe, perhaps meant well. Don't overthink it."
"After all, Chen Yun has helped me before. Don't speak ill of her boyfriend, even though I don't have a good impression of him either."
Ever since the press conference, Gu Sang and Gu Qing's relationship had grown much closer.
She knew that Gu Qing was just putting on a tough act but was actually very concerned about her.
But Chen Yun's boyfriend...
He did make people feel a bit uncomfortable.
The conversation between the two in the sports car was heard clearly by the ancient people watching the livestream.
The ancient viewers had been feeling that Gu Sang was too cold and distant.
Some frowned disapprovingly, while others looked puzzled. They asked, "Goddess, weren't you a bit too harsh just now?"
"Yeah, he was kindly offering to take you home. Why were you so cold and distant? You were happy to let that Senior Lu pick you up and drop you off before, even though you were just friends."
"Your sister is so rude, slandering people behind their backs like that."
"Isn't your future world supposed to be very open-minded? Why didn't you let that man give you a ride? Aren't men and women equal now? Why are you being so coy all of a sudden?"
Both the people from the new city and the old city were discussing animatedly.
They only viewed the future world through the livestream with their eyes, but they hadn't truly tried to understand it. Being open-minded and not knowing boundaries are two very different concepts!
Gu Sang explained to the confused ancient people: "Gender equality means respecting each other in behavior and thought."
"It doesn't mean having no boundaries in friendships."
"When it comes to a friend's partner, you must actively maintain distance. Leaving your injured girlfriend alone in the hospital and personally offering to drive her friend home is already crossing a line."
"Imagine if your husband or wife abandoned you while you were seriously ill to personally drive an opposite-sex friend home. Would you be happy about that?"
"Humans are very intelligent creatures. They know in their hearts where the boundaries lie. They know that doing such things might make their partner uncomfortable. They know where the bottom line should be. If they overstep, it's probably intentional!"
"Being open-minded doesn't mean crossing boundaries."
"It's best to treat your friend's partner as a stranger. Unless your friend brings them up, you shouldn't even keep their phone number, let alone spend time alone with them. When you like someone, you naturally become sensitive and jealous. Her boyfriend belongs to her and has nothing to do with me. That's where the boundary lies."
In that moment, it was as if the people of ancient times had suddenly awakened from a dream!
The goddess said that when you like someone, you become jealous and don't want to see your partner alone with someone of the opposite sex!
You must actively maintain distance from a friend's partner. If you don't, it's assumed you're crossing a line.
Thinking about it carefully...
Indeed!
