33 I Like You
'When she reached the sidewalk
she saw that Gu Yechen had already arrived.'
'After receiving the dress
He Xinyan's opinion of Gu Yechen had increased drastically. Yes
she was that easy to bribe.'
'She picked up her pace a little and got into the car.'
'”Gu Yechen -” He Xinyan looked at him and her mouth froze. Gu Yechen was still wearing the same black suit jacket and black pants on the outside
but inside. . . his normal black shirt and tie was replaced with a light blue shirt and tie that matched in color with He Xinyan's dress.'
'”You. . . You're wearing different colors today.”'
'Gu Yechen looked down at his tie and nodded his head. Of course he had to match with her. . .'
'The car started moving as He Xinyan remembered what she wanted to say at first
”Oh! Thank you for the dress. I really like it.”'
'”That's good.” When it wasn't necessary
Gu Yechen kept his cold demeanor
but only he knew that inside
he was jumping from happiness.'
'Out of curiosity
He Xinyan asked
”How did you get an order from Hepix?”'
'”It was a gift to me from their designer.”'
'”. . .” Hepix didn't even gift the royal family their products although they did always keep two hundred orders for them. However
the royal family still had to pay for the products.'
'He Xinyan knew that the Gu family was powerful
but it seems like they were way more powerful than what she thought.'
'Halfway through the ride
He Xinyan decided to break the silence by asking Gu Yechen about what he said in the morning.'
'”Gu Yechen. . . In the morning
you said you wanted to support your future wife. What did you mean by that?”'
'Gu Yechen turned his head around to look at He Xinyan
and he stared intently into her eyes
almost as if he was testing to see whether she really didn't understand or if she was only pretending.'
'He Xinyan looked away from the intense stare and gulped.'
'”The literal meaning.”'
''Literal meaning?' He Xinyan scratched her head but quickly stopped because she was afraid of messing up her hair.'
'He Xinyan asked Gu Yechen her inner thought
”So are you saying I will be your future wife?”'
'Gu Yechen slightly furrowed his eyebrow as he continued to stare at He Xinyan.'
'”. . . But that doesn't make sense. You're Gu Yechen. There's no way you would marry a person like me. . .”'
'”What type of person are you?”'
'He Xinyan talked to herself out loud
”I am an amazing person! But. . . you. . .”'
'He Xinyan was quite confident in herself. She had a good family background
she was pretty
smart
rich
and had a good personality. However
in front of Gu Yechen
her confidence decreased. . .'
'After all
they were on two completely different levels.'
'”What's wrong with me?”'
'”Nothing. . . You're just too perfect. But you were joking
right? There is no way you would like someone like me!”'
'In Gu Yechen's mind
millions of thoughts were running around. Should he say the truth? Should he tell her he liked her? Was it too soon? What if she didn't like him back?'
'The car stopped in front of the red carpet leading into the Xinhe Hotel
and from inside the car
He Xinyan could see the flashing lights.'
'There were no reporters around
and the party was completely private.'
'Gu Yechen took off his seatbelt and sighed
”But I do like you.”'
'Without waiting for a response
Gu Yechen got out of the car and walked around to open the door for He Xinyan.'
'As he walked
he let out a breath of relief. He didn't know if what he did was the right decision
but it felt good to be open about his love.'
'He Xinyan froze with her hand on top of the seat belt click
