What he said earlier wasnāt particularly offensive, but he still felt the need to explain. However, before he could speak, Eleven already asked, "Was that a call from Shang Muxue?"
"Yes," he nodded, "She called to ask if Iām available tomorrow, the Shang family wants to invite me for dinner."
He wanted her to feel that he could tell her everything she wanted to know.
He had nothing to hide from her.
"I see... Then go with them tomorrow. Feiāer and I will take Second Treasure out for a big meal, without your portion." Eleven said it with a smile.
But he wasnāt sure if he was being overly sensitive, he always felt that she wasnāt as happy as she seemed. If he wasnāt mistaken, there seemed to be some disappointment in her eyes.
Gu Liancheng stepped forward, touching her hair, asking, "Are you really that generous, allowing me to dine with another woman?"
Just like before.
He would say he was going out for dinner with someone, either a female celebrity or some young lady. As the official Mrs. Gu, she would help him pick out his outfit, choose which tie to wear, and happily send him off.
He could accept it in the past, but now, if things were still the same, what changed in their relationship?
"What should I do then? Keep you here with me? Have you accompany me every day, tomorrow, the day after, and every single day in the future?" Her hand tugged at his tie, pulling him a little closer.
Gu Liancheng leaned over with her slight pull, gazing at her deeply, "Iām willing to."
Eleven was stunned.
"Iām willing to spend every day, tomorrow, the day after, and every single day in the future with you, as long as you ask."
There was a shift in Elevenās eyes as she let go of his tie, patting his chest lightly, "Bah! A man whoās having an engagement ceremony with another woman in a few days, how can you make such a promise to me. If you canāt sort out your relationship, I wonāt spend any day with you!"
As she turned around, he hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her somewhat prickly shoulder, saying, "Okay, I promise you, what my wife says goes."
Eleven remained still, thinking to herself, what kind of wife was she to him?
At least she had a title before, but now thereās none.
If she didnāt know him so well, she would have not felt any security at all.
If it were anyone else, she would definitely say he was a liar! A scumbag trying to have his cake and eat it too. But since it was him, she had an inexplicable confidence in him.
He would never deceive her.
His hands stayed on her waist while she held onto his hands, saying, "Iāll wait. Wait for the day we can freely announce our relationship. But, you have to promise me that no matter what, you canāt lie to me."
"Of course, I will never lie to you."
Eleven paused, then said, "Even if one day we must part ways, you must be honest and tell me when we need to break up. I will willingly leave, without dragging each other down."
Her words made Gu Lianchengās body stiffen, his tone turning more frigid, "What are you talking about?"
Discussing a breakup on their first day together?
Anyone would find that unpleasant!
This was something that Gu Liancheng couldnāt tolerate. He turned her around, his stern gaze fixated on her, "Youāre not allowed to have such considerations, we wonāt ever part, as long as you donāt leave me."
