Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Chapter 412 - 414: Cheng Junnan’s Stalling Tactic

As for Cheng Junnan...

Perhaps at the beginning, when she first learned about Cheng Junnan, she knew his status, knew he was the bigwig of Haitian Entertainment, and even if he was her type, she still kept her distance out of respect.

Moreover... the two of them were never likely to interact, and she was clear about her own position, so she never had any thoughts about Cheng Junnan.

Adding the gossip she heard at the company, she carried a few more levels of wariness towards Cheng Junnan.

In fact, if it weren’t for Cheng Junnan helping her, she would never meet him alone.

Unexpectedly, this time, Cheng Junnan actually said those words. Gu Tiantian was somewhat surprised, even unsure what to say.

Her meaning, he understood.

So, there was no need for her to repeat herself.

Thinking of this, Gu Tiantian suddenly smiled slightly.

Since there was nothing more to say, she might as well leave.

But just at this moment, Cheng Junnan pursed his lips and slowly spoke.

His pace was slow, unhurried, his voice pleasant, gentle, and melodious, like a small stream gently flowing into her heart.

"I don’t know why you’re always so wary and guarded against me, perhaps it’s because of that incident in the office. I apologize to you once again."

Cheng Junnan’s expression was unusually serious, his eyes black as ink focusing intently on Gu Tiantian, filled with deep sincerity.

"I don’t think we are unsuitable to be friends. Although you’re still young, you also know that in circles like mine, genuine friends are rare."

"It may appear flourishing with flowers, but in reality, it’s all about connections of interest. Without benefits, so-called friends will quickly disappear from your side."

"For people like us, we’re fundamentally very lonely and isolated, unless they’re childhood brothers, there’s really no one around to share genuine thoughts with."

"As for women... it’s not embarrassing to admit it. From childhood to now, among the women I’ve encountered, whether socialites or the actresses around me, people familiar with this circle know, they’re either after money or influence, there’s nothing pure there."

"Even childhood sweethearts growing up together, it’s because both families feel they’re well-matched, hoping to cultivate feelings from childhood, then naturally getting married at a certain age. It seems seamless, but everyone knows deep down what’s really going on."

"If there’s affection, and both like each other, that’s ideal. But if one has someone else in their heart and the other is unmotivated, the future of such a union is predictable."

Clearly loathing such marriages, a vague gloom appeared on Cheng Junnan’s gentle face, and his eyes, black as ink, dimmed slightly.

"People say they’re driven by circumstances, but really it’s all about mutual benefits. That’s what I used to think, and why I insisted on not getting married, even causing those messy scandals — just out of unwillingness."

Hearing this, Gu Tiantian’s eyes widened suddenly.

Unwillingness?

She never imagined that someone like Cheng Junnan, a company giant, would have any feeling of unwillingness.

As for his mentioning that it was because of that unwillingness those messy scandals arose, she didn’t even notice.

"Doesn’t it sound unbelievable?"

Gu Tiantian subconsciously nodded, indeed, it was unbelievable!
