Chapter 400: Chapter 402: I Hope We Are Friends
"Originally, I was thinking that if you had jumped ship, I’d try to pull you back, but if it’s for studying, I think you made a good choice."
Gu Tiantian was stunned once more and couldn’t help but wonder whether the person calling her now was really the cold-faced Cheng Junnan.
Clearly, it didn’t feel like the same person.
Gu Tiantian remained silent, not knowing how to respond.
Thinking back to the words Cheng Junnan said, they felt like those of a neighborly big brother who wholeheartedly approves of the choice to study hard and keep progressing made by the young girl next door.
Honestly, when Cheng Junnan brought up her resignation, she thought he would be displeased.
After all, in his office back then, she boldly thought of firing the company big shot, spoke too harshly, and angered Cheng Junnan.
Now...
Gu Tiantian held her phone, forgetting to speak.
Cheng Junnan was evidently a very skilled communicator, his voice gentle yet humorous, all topics revolving around Gu Tiantian, with him casually mentioning the current state of the company.
Gu Tiantian found it somewhat baffling and was just about to interrupt him when he suddenly paused and called her name.
"Tian Tian, are you still listening?"
She was still listening, but she no longer wanted to.
"Actually, I’ve said so much because I just want to be friends with you!"
What?
Gu Tiantian felt like her brain was overloaded today and had no clue what Cheng Junnan actually wanted.
Instinctively, she opened her mouth to refuse.
"President Cheng, you and I are from different worlds, actually."
"Tian Tian, I’m sincerely trying to be friends with you. I know you’re worried about something, but it’s only friendship; if we have to consider each other’s identity even for that, isn’t it too serious?"
It’s not that she wants to be serious, it’s that reality forces her to be serious.
And to be friends with someone who was once a big shot at the company and had conflicts, she truly didn’t have that intention.
"Tian Tian, are you still mad at me?"
Gu Tiantian stared wide-eyed, but Cheng Junnan couldn’t see it.
Not waiting for Gu Tiantian to speak, he slowly resumed speaking, his voice soft with a hint of guilt.
"Tian Tian, if it weren’t for meeting you, I’d still have a misunderstanding about girls like you."
"The incident that day was my fault, I apologize to you again, I’m sorry!"
So, yesterday in the car, she really didn’t mishear, Cheng Junnan was genuinely apologizing to her.
She had heard it before in the hospital too.
But she didn’t expect Cheng Junnan to sincerely apologize.
She wasn’t really dwelling on past grievances, just instinctively believed it was impossible to be friends with Cheng Junnan, and refused.
"President Cheng, I’m still—"
"Tian Tian, do you feel a verbal apology lacks sincerity? Why not come out this afternoon, I’ll treat you to a meal as a gesture of apology."
Gu Tiantian was about to refuse by saying she had classes in the afternoon, but Cheng Junnan spoke before she could.
"Wait, maybe you have classes in the afternoon. How about in the evening?"
Gu Tiantian silently looked up at the clear blue sky, feeling speechless.
Worried that Cheng Junnan might say something else, Gu Tiantian quickly spoke.
"President Cheng, I still stand by my words: we are not suitable to be friends. I’m going to eat now, hanging up, bye!"
Seeing the call ended, Cheng Junnan sat in his office with a gentle and handsome face, his expression unreadable.
