At the diner, several women looked sideways at Gu Lichen. Ling Yiran now regretted bringing him there.
Maybe they should have gone to a restaurant with a private room.
After ordering a few dishes, Ling Yiran looked at Gu Lichen. "I heard you helped search for me after I disappeared yesterday. Thank you."
"Well, I didn't help much, did I?" Gu Lichen smiled faintly.
"Thank you anyway. However..." Ling Yiran paused and looked at the person in front of her seriously. "Yesterday, you said you would wait for my answer. I can give you an answer now. I don't love you, so you don't need to waste your time on me."
Gu Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had been rejected by a woman!
Whether he had mistaken her for someone else in the past, or now when he had fallen in love with her.
"Are you rejecting me because of Jinli?" he asked nonchalantly, looking as if her refusal had not affected him.
"No," she said as she shook her head.
Even if Yi Jinli had said nothing, she would still have rejected him.
After all, she was already emotionally drained. She was too drained to love again.
"Do you think I can't commit to a relationship because I've had too many girlfriends before?" he asked.
"Like you said, you've had a lot of girlfriends. All of them were pretty, talented, and special. Why me?" asked Ling Yiran.
Even Ling Luoyin had good looks. Otherwise, she would not have been offered minor roles one after another over the years.
He could think of her as his savior, but he would never fall in love with her.
Ling Yiran was the only one who could give him that feeling...
Over the years, no matter how many beautiful and talented women there were, no matter how many girlfriends he had over the years, and no matter how stunning the women were, they would not make him feel that way.
However, Ling Yiran’s smile, no matter cold or indifferent, was always stuck in his mind.
Ling Yiran bit her lip uncomfortably for a moment before she said, "Could it be your imagination? Just like how you thought... I was the one you were looking for, and now you think you love me."
He suddenly chuckled. "Ling Yiran, does the fact that I'm in love with you strike you as so inconceivable as to warrant suspicion?"
She choked.
