Chapter 2246: Chapter 2248: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

“I have nothing to say. Forced apologies are pointless,” Gu Linxi said, having seen enough of the show, and with a subtle move, she revealed the truth behind the apology. She stood up and walked over to Gu Ran, standing face to face with her.

Gu Ran panicked for a moment and stepped back, “Wh-what are you doing?”

Compared to Gu Ran’s delicate beauty, Gu Linxi’s features were much more ordinary. But her skin was pale!

Gu Ran was fair-skinned as well, but standing next to Gu Linxi made her look sallow and dark.

With thin eyelids and black pupils, her jawline was sharp and smooth, giving an impression of coldness when not smiling, like a lazy wolf. This sight made Cui Jiangjing want to hide her away, to keep her in his heart, not letting any man discover her uniqueness!

Zhang Zhihao stared for a few seconds, and fortunately, he quickly reacted. Seeing Gu Linxi approach with malice, he anxiously pulled Gu Ran behind himself, eyes bulging viciously, “What do you want! We’ve apologized, don’t push it! If you dare lay a finger on her, you’ll have me to deal with!”

“Tch.” Cui Jiangjing stood up too, silently pulling Gu Linxi into his arms, his jawline cold and arrogant as he stared at Zhang, “Tell me how you plan to deal with my girlfriend. I’ll accompany you to the end!”

Gu Linxi initially just wanted to say a few words to Gu Ran, but who knew she would react so strongly, and the friends she brought seemed ready for a fight, making Gu Linxi amused and exasperated.

Glancing beside her at the man standing up for her, her feelings became more complex, wanting to distance herself but finding his arms firmly around her waist, impossible to break free.

She never lingered on unsolvable problems, her cold gaze quickly returning to Gu Ran, preparing to speak.

Yet above her came the man’s lazy, bloodthirsty tone.

“Go ahead, tell me how you plan to deal with my girlfriend.”

“She…”

Zhang Zhihao’s face turned beet-red, but he couldn’t manage a single word.

“Even if she’s your girlfriend, Mr. Cui should manage his girlfriend better, how can you let her bully others without reason!”

Gu Linxi almost laughed. Bullying Gu Ran? Did this person even understand who was bullying whom?

Perhaps her expression was too mocking, as Gu Ran’s face flushed a bit, tugging on the boy who stood up for her, whispering, “Zhang Zhihao, let it go.”

Suddenly, her waist was held tighter, and the man’s deep, calm voice sounded beside her, “My girlfriend is someone I will only pamper. Even if she bullies me, I couldn’t bear to reprimand her, who are you to say if she bullies you?”

Gu Linxi, “…”

Her heart skipped, the rhythm completely thrown off.

She looked up at the man beside her, stunned, not realizing how long she had been staring.

Why was he saying all this, or was he always this protective with every girlfriend during a relationship?

She took a deep breath, emotions surging in her chest, nearly making it impossible for her to deceive herself.

This unconscious feeling of being swayed by someone’s words and actions was unpleasant, uncomfortable, and she disliked feeling helpless and unsure, like a burning stone dropped onto her heart, painful yet impossible to remove.

“As long as she says a word, I’d pluck the stars from the sky to make her happy. You all suddenly come out and gossip behind her back, slandering my girlfriend and her parents, and then tell me to control my girlfriend. Why, do you have an airplane runway on your face, ready for take-off?”
