Chapter 420: Floating Up

What is Zheng Peng feeling?

Right now, he wishes he could tear Zhou Ting to pieces.

Zhou Ting did it on purpose.

He clearly saw Zheng Peng coming in, yet still kissed his girlfriend right in front of him.

It’s simply courting death.

Gu Juan had no idea that Zheng Peng would find her so quickly, and she was a bit surprised when Zhou Ting brought her here.

"We used to be regulars here," Zhou Ting said gentlemanly as he got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Juan. "Although you have a boyfriend now, I hope you don’t mind me bringing you here to reminisce. Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you."

Honestly, since getting together with Zheng Peng, she hadn’t been to this place even once.

Zheng Peng had his moments of romantic flair, but compared to Zhou Ting, who came from Capital City, he fell short.

Zheng Peng thought that often taking Gu Juan to state-run restaurants was romantic, and sending flowers was a must. But Zhou Ting never went to state-run restaurants; the place they went was for drinks, music, and chit-chat.

Instantly, she realized the level was not the same as that of a state-run restaurant.

So, after getting out of the car, Gu Juan followed Zhou Ting inside.

They sat in the same spot they always did when they came before, and Zhou Ting still ordered her favorite drink.

Though Zhou Ting didn’t say anything, he was telling Gu Juan through his actions that he never forgot her, and he remembered every little bit of their time together.

"I actually regret it quite a bit," Zhou Ting said with a smile. "After going to the Capital City, I’ve always regretted it. I hate my own cowardice."

As he spoke, Zhou Ting tapped his head twice.

"Don’t be like that," Gu Juan had already guessed what he was going to say.

Her vanity was immediately inflated to its peak.

She once feared Zhou Ting, but now she felt a deep sense of pity for him.

"I didn’t expect you to have a boyfriend so soon," Zhou Ting said with a self-mocking smile, "Is he good to you?"

"He is," Gu Juan said blushing, looking down. "Zhou Ting, I really appreciate the care you’ve given me, but... I’m quite happy as I am now."

With her head down, she failed to notice the flash of mockery and malice in Zhou Ting’s eyes.

"But I just can’t reconcile with it," Zhou Ting sighed. "I was the one who met you first, and I was the one who liked you first."

The blatant confession made Gu Juan feel as though she was floating on a cloud.

Both men were so exceptional, and they both liked her so much.

Making a decision was truly difficult.

Although Zhou Ting was more romantic and came from a better family, Gu Juan felt that Zheng Peng was more reliable because he was so good.

Moreover, Zheng Peng’s father was the secretary of the transformer factory. In the future, she’d be the daughter-in-law of the transformer factory’s secretary, and no one would dare look down on her.

She could easily crush Gu Lingling and the others like ants.

She wouldn’t even have to lift a finger; plenty of people would help her achieve that.

"Zhou Ting, don’t be like this. You’re really great, and I’m sure you’ll find someone better than me in the future." Gu Juan grew smarter and spoke directly.

She had considered the idea of balancing the two men, but a choice between Zhou Ting and Zheng Peng intimidated her.

She admitted she didn’t have Wang Meili’s tactics.

Of course, her aims were different from Wang Meili’s as well.

Wang Meili sought protection and benefits from those men.

But Gu Juan wanted marriage, not flirtations.

However, before she finished speaking, Zhou Ting cupped her chin and lifted her face. Then, he pressed his lips onto her red lips.
