Wenyan nearly choked mid-breath.
The moment she saw Gu Xiran kneel on one knee, she instantly felt secondhand embarrassment.
She thought Gu Xiran was proposing to her!
Fortunately, that was not the case.
She breathed a sigh of relief, “Get up first, then we can talk. It makes me uncomfortable when you stare at me from such a close distance.”
Gu Xiran, with his broad romantic experience, had an inkling of what Wenyan meant as soon as she said that.
He remained kneeling, “So, you’re planning to reject me, not even giving me a chance? Just try it. If it doesn’t work out, we can split up right away.”
Wenyan shook her head, “Since you’re so straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush. There’s no need to try, we’re not suitable for each other. You’re not my type.”
Gu Xiran frowned, “Then what is your type?”
“Hmm… I don’t have a specific range at the moment, but I know what type I don’t like.”
“I’m all ears.”
“First off, I’m definitely not into someone who changes partners frequently, like you do.”
Gu Xiran’s frown deepened, “I have taken every relationship seriously, and I’ve never cheated.”
Wenyan nodded, “I’ve indeed heard as much. But even so, it’s still a negative in my book.”
Gu Xiran clearly didn’t want to be rejected by Wenyan just like that.
“What if I can assure you that I’ll be faithful to you from start to finish?”
“…” Wenyan’s expression was indescribable.
“Oh? Can you? I’d like you to be 100% sure before you answer my question, and not let some indignant rebelliousness control you, okay?”
“OK, fine.” Gu Xiran admitted he was a bit resentful initially, but now he had calmed down.
He stood up and returned to his seat.
“Regardless, this diamond necklace was specifically chosen for you, and I hope you will accept it as thanks for recommending me to the cast of ‘Legend of Chang’an’.”
“There’s no need. I recommended you because you were suitable, and as the company boss, we’re a collective interest. It’s only natural that I would prioritize the actors of my own company. We’re both straightforward people, so now that everything is out in the open, I hope today’s matter won’t affect our relationship in the future. We can still be friends.”
Gu Xiran nodded and smiled, “Alright.”
“Then thank you for dinner today, I’ll be on my way.”
“I’ll walk you out.”
“No need,” Wenyan pointed at the enormous bouquet of roses, “You handle that.”
Having said that, Wenyan gathered her things and left the private room.
The rain hadn’t stopped outside, and Wenyan checked her phone as she walked towards the exit.
She hadn’t had time to respond to Qin Yulong’s message earlier.

Meanwhile, in the room opposite.
Seeing Wenyan hurry off, Shen Jingxiu abruptly ended the conversation he was having with Ji Yuanzhou.
“I just remembered I have something urgent to attend to, I’ll take my leave now, and I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”
The sudden end to the conversation left Ji Yuanzhou feeling rather abrupt.
“What’s the emergency? Work or personal?”
“Why are you so nosy?”
Ji Yuanzhou chuckled lightly, “OK, then which day is ‘another day’?”
Shen Jingxiu’s mind was no longer on the conversation.
“Anything but today.”
“You’re in such a rush,” Ji Yuanzhou was unwilling to let Shen Jingxiu go so easily, “I’m really curious, we’re close friends, can’t you tell me?”
Shen Jingxiu glanced at him, sighed resignedly, and said,
“You weren’t mistaken earlier, my sister did enter Yunlan Residence.”
“Oh, so she was here on a date with her boyfriend?”
“I’m not sure. I saw her leaving in a hurry, and she didn’t seem happy.”
“She’s an adult. Even if she’s unhappy, it should be her boyfriend’s job to cheer her up, not something for you, her brother, to interfere in.”
Shen Jingxiu disagreed, “What if someone was bullying her?”

“That’s a point. Others might not understand you, but I know you’re the protective type. I won’t keep you then, go ahead. It’s pouring outside; don’t let your sister get soaked.”
“Yeah, I’m off.”
With that, Shen Jingxiu picked up his coat and briskly left the private room.
