Chapter 388: Chapter 390: Beyond Cure
When he felt extremely uncomfortable, somewhat uncontrollably getting off the train, thinking of going upstairs to take a look, he heard the long-awaited voice from afar.
Although it was in the dim hallway, it didn’t affect his ability to see her.
She was on the phone, her expression tense.
Gradually, she started laughing and joking, but he was too far away to hear what she was saying.
The dim lighting made it impossible for him to see Gu Tiantian’s expression clearly.
He didn’t want to think about who Gu Tiantian might be talking to on the phone, he only had one thought, to go see her and tell her he missed her.
"Tian Tian, I miss you!"
After waiting for three days, he finally saw her.
The words reached his lips, but then he hesitated for a moment. However, when he saw the surprise flash in her eyes, he didn’t want to care about anything else and voiced his thoughts directly.
Gu Tiantian stared at Cheng Junnan in front of her with wide eyes, her big dark eyes filled with escalating surprise, unable to believe.
She recalled the scene in Cheng Junnan’s office earlier when he told her he liked her.
Almost instinctively, Gu Tiantian immediately rejected him.
"President Cheng, I think I made myself very clear."
Her rejection at that time was very decisive and straightforward, and she was sure Cheng Junnan couldn’t have misunderstood.
Smelling the strong scent of alcohol in the air, Gu Tiantian frowned slightly and took a small step back.
"President Cheng, you’re really drunk."
Gu Tiantian frowned, glanced at the car behind him, hesitated for a moment, and turned to leave.
"Tian Tian!"
Her hand was suddenly grabbed by Cheng Junnan, causing Gu Tiantian to jump in surprise, instinctively raising her hand to pull it back.
But Cheng Junnan’s grip was very strong, and he clearly didn’t want her to pull away. He even exerted a bit of force, causing her to fall uncontrollably towards him.
The strong scent of alcohol assailed her, and Gu Tiantian hurriedly reached out to push him away, but Cheng Junnan was too strong, and she couldn’t manage to push him away.
"President Cheng!"
Gu Tiantian was frustrated; did she really need to check the almanac before going downstairs at this time?
Unable to push Cheng Junnan away, with the strong smell of alcohol lingering at her nose, Gu Tiantian frowned deeply.
This expression caught Cheng Junnan’s attention, and he was momentarily taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, but he still didn’t let go of Gu Tiantian’s hand.
"Tian Tian, can we talk, is that okay?"
Gu Tiantian didn’t even think about it, shaking her head immediately.
"Not okay!"
It’s not okay at all; she’s not familiar with Cheng Junnan. Although she’s grateful that he helped her before, she really has no feelings for him.
Cheng Junnan’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but his haggard face remained quite gentle.
His voice was as gentle and warm as ever.
If it weren’t for the strong smell of alcohol, Gu Tiantian might not even know he had been drinking.
"Tian Tian, I just want to have a good talk with you. Of course, if you don’t mind it here, I don’t mind either."
Only then did Gu Tiantian realize they’re still downstairs at her place.
How embarrassing would it be if the neighbors saw them?
Seeing the hesitation on Gu Tiantian’s face, Cheng Junnan’s eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement.
He held Gu Tiantian’s hand and slowly walked towards the car behind them.
"Come on, I’ll take you to a nice place."
Since seeing Gu Tiantian, Cheng Junnan’s mood has been exceedingly pleasant.
Even though Gu Tiantian completely ignores him.
This face-saving attachment... In the past, he despised it the most, and had never encountered it, yet he found it exceedingly joyful.
Really... It’s incurable.
Yet, he still found delight in it.
