Chapter 281
Shen Weiwei was bought away by Gu Shaoyu. Her entire person was in a dazed and bewildered state. Even after Gu Shaoyu stood at her side and spoke a couple of times, he still couldn’t get Shen Weiwei’s attention.
“Weiwei.”
Shen Weiwei came back to her senses. She noticed that Gu Shaoyu was staring at her intently and forced out a slight smile. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Shaoyu looked at her darkly. “Did you hear what I said just now?”
“I’m sorry, earlier… I wasn’t paying attention.”
Gu Shaoyu sighed. “Is it because of Lu Liting?”
Shen Weiwei remained silent and didn’t answer.
“I know you’ve been together with him for many years and I also know the feelings you have towards him. Weiwei… I know what I did was very shameless, but please let me have the chance to date you. Believe me, I’ll be good to you. I’ll… I’ll treat you even better than Lu Liting. I swear!”
Gu Shaoyu wanted to raise his right hand to swear but he got stopped by Shen Weiwei. “Don’t say anymore.”
Gu Shaoyu panicked. “Weiwei, please ignore my past history of frequenting nightclubs and bars. I’ve changed since the very first moment I met you! Recently, I’ve returned to the company and started working. Even Grandpa praised me for my improvement. Trust me, I’ll give you a good life. I’ll give you everything you want. I won’t let you suffer, get tired, or be wronged, and for this, I’ll work hard to achieve it all for you!”
Shen Weiwei looked at him. Although she was visibly moved, she still hesitated. “But… I can’t, I absolutely can’t do this! I just broke up with Lu Liting. How could I… Gu Shaoyu, thank you for liking me, but I’m very sorry, I really can’t do this.”
“You’ve said it yourself. You’ve already broken up with Lu Liting. You’re free and you have the freedom to choose your own boyfriend. Why can’t you be together with me? Or is it because you think that my past self is useless, and lacking compared to Lu Liting, so I’m not worthy of you?”
Shen Weiwei’s brow furrowed. “It’s all in your head. I never thought of you in that way!”
“Since you never thought of me that way, then could you give me a chance to take care of you? I really don’t want to see you get bullied by others again. I know you want to make it in the entertainment industry and that you’re aware that it can be a harsh place. Although I can’t compare with Lu Lixing who is powerful enough to support Ji Qingqing with an infinite amount of resources, I will use all the resources I have to stabilize your position in the entertainment industry and prevent you from getting bullied.”
Shen Weiwei appeared troubled. It was as if she was driven into a corner and had no choice but to face everything directly. Now, she only wished for a chance to take a breath. “Give me some time and let me think this through, okay?”
Gu Shaoyu was overjoyed. He knew that Shen Weiwei was already convinced.
He went ahead and took Shen Weiwei’s hand, but this time, Shen Weiwei didn’t reject him.
Gu Shaoyu smiled. He possessed both confidence and patience. One day, Shen Weiwei will eventually accept him!
The cameramen and the program’s staff following them came closer. With a smile, Gu Shaoyu replied, “I’ll wait for you.”
The filming for the program still went on but the live-stream was suspended for close to half an hour. Before the live-stream got cut, the viewers were able to clearly see Lu Liting’s face. But afterwards it got stopped and the program’s staff didn’t provide any proper explanation for it. Even so, a number of viewers still attempted to speculate the reason for the cutting of the live-stream.
Unexpectedly, some unknown person who had randomly popped up recognized Lu Liting straightaway. They even dug out past reporters’ pictures which photographed Shen Weiwei and Lu Liting going out together.
The news that Shen Weiwei had a boyfriend had always been regarded as a groundless rumor. Plus Shen Weiwei had remained silent about it so her stance was quite questionable. No one knew if she quietly acknowledged it or denied it completely as false news.
However, Lu Liting’s appearance on the live-stream, plus those photographs the reporters had taken in the past, instantly caused a stir in the comments section of the live-stream.
@Makes a V-sign: If I wasn’t mistaken, I think the person who entered the VIP room before the live-stream got cut is Shen Weiwei’s boyfriend.
@Mangmang doesn’t eat melon: Shen Weiwei’s boyfriend? The commenter above, how do you know that?
@Makes a V-sign: I always take note of every handsome guy I see. Lemme go look for a pic.
@Makes a V-sign: Found it! Previously, a marketing account posted a pic of Shen Weiwei and this guy. I’ve added the Weibo link here. If you’re interested look here:「Link」
@Dandan is the smartest: What the-! If he isn’t Shen Weiwei’s boyfriend I’ll eat my keyboard. Do regular friends even hug intimately? She has a boyfriend yet she still participated in Let’s Date?? Is Shen Weiwei that desperate to climb up?
@Milkbun: So the reason why the live-stream got cut just now was because Shen Weiwei’s real-life boyfriend arrived? Gonna eat popcorn!
@Garfield cooing: Sooo?!!! Did Shen Weiwei’s fake boyfriend and her real boyfriend fight or not?
@Benben Chicken: If that’s the case, Shen Weiwei indeed has an IRL boyfriend? Then since she already has a boyfriend why did she still participate in this program?
@Overbearing president is looking for online friends: I suddenly feel that Shen Weiwei is quite a bitch. She obviously has a boyfriend and yet she still participated in this kind of program. For the sake of getting into the program and appearing on the camera, she’s even willing to overlook her boyfriend’s feelings…
@Meow King: Am I the only one who has always thought that Shen Weiwei is such a white lotus? Just by looking at her appearance, I feel that she’s very… I can’t really put a finger to it but she’s irritating and very much a bitch. It’s a pity we didn’t get to see Shen Weiwei’s two boyfriends fight.
@tsktsktsktsktsk: I’m quite astonished that Shen Weiwei’s boyfriend actually allowed her to attend this program. Does he like Shen Weiwei that much? Even if he gets cheated on, he probably wouldn’t mind.
Of course, the contents in the live-stream comment section didn’t cause much of a stir for the time being. After the live-stream resumed, everyone’s gazes were glued to the people on the screen.
However, this incident had buried a ticking time bomb.
In the live-stream, Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing were happily strolling around the Harbor City.
Although they were interrupted by Shen Weiwei and Gu Shaoyu midway, Ji Qingqing’s mood wasn’t affected at all. She wore Lu Liting’s clothes and walked beside him, feeling rather pleased.
The smile on her lips hadn’t faded. Her eyes didn’t droop and had curved into little happy crescent moons instead.
