Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Let Go of Me First
This is not the first time hearing Cheng Junnan’s confession. Although Gu Tiantian felt a bit flustered and embarrassed, she still managed to stay composed.
Her cheeks just kept getting redder, and noticing Cheng Junnan’s gaze becoming increasingly intense, Gu Tiantian even wanted to run away in panic.
But her hand was still being held by Cheng Junnan, and Gu Tiantian felt as if her palm was on fire, extremely hot, with even tiny beads of sweat slowly seeping out.
Noticing the slickness of Gu Tiantian’s hand, Cheng Junnan curled his lips into a slight, gentle smile, his dark eyes filled with tender affection.
"Tian Tian, don’t be nervous. I won’t force you to accept me."
Gu Tiantian blinked, feeling her heartbeat suddenly accelerate.
At this moment, she just wanted to avoid Cheng Junnan, wanted to flee far away.
"Cheng... Junnan, let go of me, let go of me!"
Gu Tiantian’s voice was slightly hurried, emotions somewhat agitated.
Cheng Junnan frowned a little. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he didn’t want to scare Gu Tiantian either.
"Then let’s agree on this, I’ll let you go, but you can’t just walk away like that. Let’s talk here properly, okay?"
Gu Tiantian subconsciously shook her head, but realizing that Cheng Junnan would definitely not let go if she didn’t agree, she pressed her lips tightly, feeling very frustrated, and then nodded.
"Okay!"
Let’s have a good talk, just basically repeat the words of refusal she said before to him.
Gu Tiantian recalled the words she used to refuse Cheng Junnan before, and just as she was about to speak directly, Cheng Junnan spoke first.
"Tian Tian, why are you in Kunshan?"
Gu Tiantian was taken aback, and the words she was about to say got stuck.
She blinked, withdrew her hand, and frowned.
"It’s my own business, I don’t want to say much."
Seeing Gu Tiantian obviously guarding against him, Cheng Junnan felt a blockage in his chest.
"Apart from the forehead injury, is there anywhere else you got hurt? I remember there was a forest directly ahead back then, and there were stones inside too. Did you scratch yourself anywhere?"
Gu Tiantian lowered her gaze to her fingers, speaking calmly.
"No, thank you for saving me back then, otherwise the one lying here should be me, not you."
Cheng Junnan really wanted to hold Gu Tiantian’s hand and tell her he would rather it be him lying here than her, otherwise he wouldn’t know how much discomfort and heartache he would feel.
But thinking that she’d surely reject him without hesitation if he said those words, Cheng Junnan could only give up on the idea.
Gu Tiantian understood his thoughts, but she gave him absolutely no chance, making him very dejected and incredibly uneasy and uncomfortable at the same time.
This feeling, in all his years of life, was one he was experiencing for the first time.
"So, are you admitting that I was your hero saving the beauty?"
Cheng Junnan raised his eyebrows, looking at Gu Tiantian with a hint of playful curiosity.
Gu Tiantian was stunned and suddenly recalled the ancient dramas often seen, where this hero saving the beauty plot generally ended with the beauty offering herself.
Her eyes flashed with traces of embarrassment and awkwardness as Gu Tiantian quickly sorted out her thoughts.
Before she could even speak, Cheng Junnan added again.
"Usually, in these plots, the saved beauty would offer herself, right? But we’ve passed that era, so let’s forget about offering yourself. How about taking care of me these few days here, until Secretary Jiang arrives? What do you think?"
Gu Tiantian really wanted to refuse and say no, but Cheng Junnan was lying here injured because of her.
If she were heartless, she could leave without any concerns.
But she just couldn’t do it!
