Chapter 748: I'm Not a Gentleman
Chu Ge still smiled faintly and didn't say much, leaving the conversation in Huang Yourong's hands. He wanted to hear what kind of nonsense this woman could come up with next.
Although Chu Ge felt that not even a punctuation from this woman's words could be trusted, since she was already here, he might as well listen to the joke.
Faced with Chu Ge's reaction, Huang Yourong felt even more unsure. She would have preferred if Chu Ge sneered, questioned, got angry, or even slapped her. Any of those would be easier for her to accept than this current calmness.
Huang Yourong's mind turned quickly, abandoning any hope. Based on Chu Ge's calm demeanor, it was clear that he had anticipated this in advance, and his initial surprise upon opening the door was entirely feigned.
"Chu Ge, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong. But I promise you, I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it intentionally."
Chu Ge's expression remained unchanged, with his mouth slightly raised, indifferent.
Huang Yourong quickly moved to Chu Ge's side and continued sincerely, "Chu Ge, I was just chatting casually with Shanshan when I accidentally mentioned this thing, and then Chang Xin heard it. Although it was like I told him, I never thought he would do such excessive things to you. I've truly misjudged him!"
As Huang Yourong spoke, she grabbed Chu Ge's hands, her face full of pitiful expression, with apologies and remorse in her eyes, looking so pitiful as if her body was almost leaning against Chu Ge.
"Indeed... you already know about these things."
Chu Ge's expression finally changed slightly as he frowned until Huang Yourong nodded repeatedly, and then he continued to ask: "So, before this, you were completely unaware of his framing of me and Mu Lingshan?"
Facing Chu Ge's suspicious gaze, Huang Yourong pursed her lips sadly, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know it would turn out like this, it's all my fault, I'm genuinely sorry."
At this moment, Huang Yourong's eyes were already red, tears falling continuously, and her voice starting to choke, looking every bit like a tearful, pitifully woeful woman.
Huang Yourong wept more and more sorrowfully, suddenly grabbing Chu Ge's hand and looking up with tears pouring down like a fountain at Chu Ge, those dripping tears continuing to fall down.
Chu Ge, however, snorted coldly at this moment, "Do you think with your mouth just opening and closing, and crying like this, I will believe you're innocent?"
Huang Yourong's body trembled and pitifully raised her head, "Chu Ge, I know it's normal for you to doubt me, I can't prove my innocence, but..."
At this point, Huang Yourong solemnly raised her right hand, thumb and pinky folded, the other three fingers aligned at the brow level, "I, Huang Yourong, swear to heaven, if I have spoken any false words, let me be struck by lightning, and die a terrible death!"
Facing those extremely sincere eyes, Chu Ge was slightly stunned, his expression showing a hint of hesitation, his gaze shifting for two seconds before asking, "Then... can you tell me, why did you tell Mu Lingshan about seeing that text message?"
"Because..." Huang Yourong's expression turned sad again, she pursed her lips and tightly held Chu Ge's hand, posing a question back, "Chu Ge, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Chu Ge was silent, and Huang Yourong clearly did not expect him to answer, continuing to whisper softly to herself.
"I never believed there was love at first sight in this world until... I met you. You know, when I first saw you, it felt like I was suddenly struck by a current, I could barely breathe, couldn't move!"
"Seeing Mu Lingshan bicker with you made me feel really sad. I accompanied her drinking, but wasn't I also wanting to drown my sorrows? When I went back with her, she fell asleep in the car, and I accidentally saw that message. I knew you needed her, but even though I envied her, I still tried my best to wake her up so she could come to you."
"But, despite my efforts, she was too drunk, and I couldn't wake her. I had to take her back to the hotel, but when I thought of you still waiting for her, feeling anguished in your heart, I felt like my own heart was breaking."
"So I came here immediately, even though I knew you needed someone else, even though I was nearly unconscious drunk, I still came, just to offer you a little bit of comfort, if only your heart could feel a bit better, I would be content."
"Unfortunately... I really drank too much yesterday. When I saw you, I totally passed out drunk, unable to help you at all, and instead needed your care. When I woke up and found you weren't by my side, my heart felt both disappointed and relieved."
"Disappointed because I'm not the woman you need, relieved because my love at first sight didn't prove wrong. You had such a perfect chance, yet did nothing to me. You are truly a gentleman, you are such an excellent man. Meeting you is simply the greatest happiness in my life!"
Huang Yourong spoke with such tenderness, holding Chu Ge's hand tighter, like a bird nestled in him, overflowing with emotion.
She was so caught up in the performance that she almost believed it herself, convincing herself that even if Chu Ge was as hard as tempered steel, at this moment, he would be coaxed into yielding softness, then...
"Heh, nice story isn't it?"
Huang Yourong was plotting in secret when suddenly Chu Ge's disdainful laughter interrupted her thoughts.
She was startled, how... how could this be? Could it be that her heartfelt words just now weren't enough to move this man's heart even a little?
Chu Ge suddenly shoved Huang Yourong away, then pressed her shoulders with both hands and slammed her against the wall.
Chu Ge removed his hands from Huang Yourong's shoulders, blocked her path with his body, placed one hand on the wall by her ear, and rubbed his forehead with the other as he fixed his gaze at her astonished eyes. He suddenly smiled coldly from above.
"Perhaps I really should thank you for thinking so highly of me, but there's one thing you might have misunderstood."
Huang Yourong felt a pang of anxiety, forcing herself to stay calm as she asked, "Wha... what?"
"I have never been a gentleman." Chu Ge smirked, pointed to himself with a raised finger, and then wagged it, "I'm just completely uninterested in your drunken state from last night, that's all."
Huang Yourong's eyes widened further. She never in her wildest dreams thought Chu Ge would say something like that. But... given the current situation, it seemed to be even more favorable to her than the scenario she had initially planned!
Chu Ge's gaze was full of mischief. He licked his lips, tilted his head, and arrogantly asked, "Now, after hearing me say this, do you still have feelings for me? Am I still the man you fell head over heels for at first sight?"
Being stared at by Chu Ge's beast-like gaze, Huang Yourong's heart wasn't afraid but overjoyed, indeed a burst of excitement. She swallowed secretly, her expression filled with endless gentleness, and she slowly, lightly nodded to Chu Ge.
Chu Ge spat out a disdainful "tsk" from between his teeth, then suddenly reached out and slapped the wall by Huang Yourong's side with a heavy thud, "Well... how about now?"
Even though the "thud" was indeed quite frightening, Huang Yourong's eyes lit up, and she was indescribably thrilled, immediately nodding firmly once more.
"You still like this?"
Chu Ge's smile became even more mischievous. He suddenly laughed twice, looked down at her for a few seconds, then leaned in close to her ear.
Chu Ge paused intentionally for a moment, then said coldly, "How can you be so cheap? Hmm, tell me, why are you so cheap?"
Huang Yourong glanced at her handbag from the corner of her eye, and as Chu Ge finished speaking, she slightly smiled and leaned closer to Chu Ge's ear. In a very sincere, very earnest voice, she whispered, "As long as you like it, it doesn't matter what I become. You can call me whatever you want, no matter what you ask me to do, I won't hesitate."
"Very well, now you've finally piqued my interest a bit."
Chu Ge said with a wicked tone, suddenly grabbing Huang Yourong's hand and casually throwing her to the ground, then walked over in strides. When he reached in front of Huang Yourong, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he raised his chin.
"Also, whether you made the mistake intentionally or unintentionally, since you've caused me such trouble, don't think you can brush it off with just a few words. Tell me... shouldn't I give you some punishment?"
At this moment, Huang Yourong was ecstatic inside. Everything was going so smoothly, even though the process differed greatly from what she had imagined, the outcome was surprisingly similar.
"As long as it helps you vent your anger, I'll accept whatever punishment you want to give."
Huang Yourong knelt on the sofa with her back to Chu Ge, turned to meet Chu Ge's gaze, gently biting her lip, her eyes filled with deep affection, sincerity, and apology.
Chu Ge laughed loudly and kicked Huang Yourong, snorting coldly, "Since you said it with such sincerity, then... I won't hold back."
After taking that kick, Huang Yourong's body quivered. It really hurt, so much that tears welled up in her eyes, yet a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Thinking Chu Ge was about to fall into her trap, her mood improved even more.
However, what she didn't expect was that after Chu Ge gave her a kick that wasn't particularly harsh but not light either, there was no further action. She waited a few seconds, starting to feel a bit panicked and anxious inside.
What... what is happening now?
