Chapter 1300 - Inexplicable Woes (1/2)

Wen Xinya met her friends at eight in the evening. Surprisingly, she did not bring Si Yiyan along.

Her friends had all changed tremendously throughout the past three years. Gu Junling had gradually begun taking over his family’s business while Ling Qingxuan had already begun running the Ling Family’s entertainment company and was making outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry.

Han Mofeng was doing rather well too and had already been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. On the other hand, Xu Zhenyu had also been doing extremely well in Capital city, especially since he had the support of the Xu family.

Zhou Tianyu had already graduated from Beihua University but did not have any other plans at the moment. Meanwhile, Xu Tongxuan was arranged to work in the National Security Bureau with the help of her family.

However… the only pity was that Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling were still in an ambiguous and non-exclusive relationship even though the two of them had been making progress throughout the past three years. Gu Junling was not eager, though. To him, slow and steady wins the race. He felt that Zhou Tianyu was already his to keep at this point.

However, Wen Xinya was not as optimistic as him. In her previous lifetime… Gu Junling had also allowed Zhou Tianyu to escape from his hands. Her decision to become a diplomat was a ticking time bomb between them.

Wen Xinya felt like she was their mother, for she could not stop worrying about them.

Noticing that Wen Xinya was walking towards her alone, Zhou Tianyu began to tease her. “Hey, where’s your boyfriend? I thought he’d be leashed to you wherever you go!”

Whenever Si Yiyan was around, they wouldn’t dare to tease or make fun of Wen Xinya. Hence… Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling had become the subject of their teasing. Throughout the years, the jokes became more and more explicit and she could not stop them at all.

Hence, she began to resent Wen Xinya and immediately teased her when she realized that Si Yiyan was not around.

Feeling embarrassed, Wen Xinya thought, Trust her to come up with such a silly metaphor! “Don’t talk about me. Speak for yourself. You and Gu Junling are practically inseparable. Do you plan to accept his pursuit or not!?!”

It had been more than three years since Gu Junling expressed his feelings for Zhou Tianyu openly, during which he had been putting in plenty of effort into courting her.

Even Xu Tongxuan could not help but chime in. “Tianyu, I really don’t know what you’re thinking. What’s so bad about Little Eunuch Gu? Honestly… men like him are extinct nowadays. If you don’t treasure him, a good man like him will never come by again.”

Gu Junling had been carrying a torch for Zhou Tianyu for more than a decade and had also courted her for three years. All of that was enough to prove his genuine devotion towards her.

Zhou Tianyu’s smile stiffened and remained silent for a while before answering, “Don’t worry, guys. I know what to do.”

She then looked down at Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan.

Wen Xinya could tell from her expression that things were far more complicated than they had thought. She said softly, “Tianyu, we’re in no place to comment about your relationship with Gu Junling but… we can tell that you do have feelings for him. However, why are you still unwilling to accept him?”

Xu Tongxuan added, “Tianyu, we actually feel really sorry for Little Eunuch Gu. He treats you so well. I’m sure you feel something for him, too.”

Hanging her head low, Zhou Tianyu answered softly, “I know that you guys have my best interests at heart but…” She placed her hands on her lap and clenched them tightly. “I have my reasons too.”
