Chapter 48 (2/2)

At first, it sounded interesting. However, that last sentence made Gu Linzheng uneasy. He frowned and said, “What nonsense are you saying?”

He was not the type of person with messy feelings and relationships anyway.

Even if he did, he would never embarrass Tang Chi in the Gu family. His parents also definitely would not allow such a thing to happen. His family had a good reputation.

Even for a good-for-nothing person like Gu Linye, at most, he only had many relationships because he was popular and problems with his reckless spending. There were no problems with morale that would tarnish their family’s reputation.

When Guan Taoman called earlier, he already knew what she wanted. He firmly rejected her a long time ago, but due to their family relations, Gu Linzheng had to be polite on some level.

Now that Tang Chi was still here, of course he would reject her outright.

Just that Tang Chi’s words made him uncomfortable for no reason. He closed his book and his eyes turned concentrated like ink, like the night stars with a slight mist. He lowered his voice and asked, “Did I do something to make you feel this insecure? What did I do?”

He didn’t do anything wrong. But the way Tang Chi said it so decisively made him feel uncomfortable.

Tang Chi saw Gu Linzheng’s expression unexpectedly turned deeper and colder than usual. She knew that her words made him unhappy. Because Gu Linzheng was really different than other men. her heart quivered and quickly flattered him, “Zheng, you think too much, I was just saying. I do have my right to voice out an opinion…You don’t have to worry about me but I have to worry about you, right? You are very good looking and you have money, power, and capabilities with your unique temperament. Many women would not be able to resist you, would they? And after all, you are a man…”

Perhaps Tang Chi’s flattery caught him by surprise or the fact that she called him Zheng threw him off. Gu Linzheng never encountered an approach like this and that made him fell silent in an instant.

People used to praise him like that in the past, but… no one ever praised him so bluntly…no standards.
