Tang Miaomiao smiled gently, a smile as beautiful as a snow lotus blooming in its prime, breathtakingly beautiful! Almost everyone present had rarely seen Tang Miaomiao smile before, and this smile was so stunning it could topple kingdoms and leave everyone speechless. Even Gu Chen was slightly captivated by her smile.
Tang Miaomiao said calmly, "Miss Sun, you can rest assured, I haven't taken a liking to him."
Sun Jiangman's face hardened, and before the surrounding crowd could breathe a sigh of relief, Tang Miaomiao reached out and, as if plucking a flower, took Gu Chen's hand in hers, saying calmly, "But if I really take a liking to him, then even if you're Miss Sun, you can't take him away!"
This sentence ignited the surrounding area once again!!!!!!
Everyone was speechless!
Tang Miaomiao actually responded!
This shock was far greater than the initial impression they had just received! It was precisely because of this shock that they automatically ignored Tang Miaomiao's first words. They only had one thought in their minds: two goddess-level figures of the younger generation in the Land of Heaven and Earth were actually fighting over a man!
"Hey hey hey--"
Gu Chen knew he couldn't stay silent now. He had only wanted to tease Tang Miaomiao, but now that Sun Jiangman had forgiven him, he didn't want things to escalate further and he would have a hard time explaining himself.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen ignored the astonished crowd around him and broke free from Tang Miaomiao's grasp.
Then, with a serious expression, he pulled Sun Jiangman up and said to Tang Miaomiao, "I'm sorry, Fairy Tang, I already have someone I love. You should give up."
Is this considered a rejection?
Everyone was stunned again! This damned bastard actually rejected Fairy Tang?!
Even Tang Miaomiao trembled when Gu Chen broke free of her hand, and looked up at Gu Chen blankly.
The scene fell into a deathly silence for a moment.
"Ahem." Gu Chen coughed lightly, then looked around and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today. I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Gu Chen grabbed Sun Jiangman and ran away as fast as he could.
After Gu Chen left, before the people around him could even react, they heard a loud "bang." Everyone looked over and saw Cao Miao stomping his foot hard!
As the deafening sound rang out, a crack several meters long appeared on the ground, and several tables were even overturned instantly, the powerful force shattering the wooden legs of the tables into dust!
Cao Miao's face was ashen, his fists clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, and his expression so dark it seemed as if water was about to drip from his face!
Clearly, he was consumed by rage and fury, his anger reaching its peak!
Kang Zuoqing glanced at him, a disdainful look playing on his lips, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Tang Miaomiao and said, "Fairy Tang, I'll be returning to my room for seclusion now. See you at the grand gathering tomorrow."
Without waiting for Tang Miaomiao's reply, he left gracefully.
As a genius, he has his own pride, and he wouldn't be able to lose his composure like Cao Miao!
Tang Miaomiao's eyes regained a glimmer of clarity, and she looked at Cao Miao with concern, asking, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Cao Miao looked away and forced a smile.
Tang Miaomiao nodded and said, "I'll also be going into seclusion for the conference tomorrow."
Cao Miao suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said, "Fine."
In his loss of consciousness, Cao Miao had forgotten to ask about Tang Miaomiao's relationship with Gu Chen. His mind was filled only with Sun Jiangman's cold words to him as she stood up for Gu Chen, and the scene of Gu Chen pulling Sun Jiangman away by the hand...
Sun Jiangman should clearly belong to Cao Miao, so where did this Gu Chen come from!?
The gazes of everyone around him were like needles piercing his soul; he, Young Master Cao, could not swallow this insult!
Gu Chen pulled Sun Jiangman to the cluster of wooden houses on the hillside. Soon after, Sun Jiangman broke free and stood still, coldly watching him.
"Uh." Gu Chen touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
"Uh what?" Sun Jiangman said coldly, "Young Master Gu, aren't you the only male heir in your family? Didn't you lose all your power after... losing your virginity? Speak, is there anything else I don't know?"
"Um..." Gu Chen didn't know how to answer, so he simply reached out and hugged Sun Jiangman tightly.
"Given the circumstances, this was the only way I could say it." Gu Chen ignored Sun Jiangman's struggles, holding her tightly until she could barely breathe, before saying affectionately, "If I told the truth, I was afraid I would lose you forever."
"You liar!" Sun Jiangman struggled incessantly, but her strength was waning.
Gu Chen sensed that Sun Jiangman's movements weren't intense, and knew that she had already forgiven him. He immediately cupped her face in his hands and said, "Can't you forgive me?"
Sun Jiangman's body stiffened. Being so close to him, she was initially at a loss for words, but given their physical intimacy and Gu Chen's gentle gaze, she hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and said, "I... I didn't mean to blame you. I'm just angry that they treated you like that..."
At this point, Sun Jiangman's pretty face flushed crimson, making her even more beautiful than before. Gu Chen's heart fluttered, and he placed Sun Jiangman's hand on his chest, saying with utmost seriousness, "Jiangman, you were so brave today to stand up and prove our relationship. If I were to betray you again, or run away again, I would be an invincible bastard!"
Sun Jiangman's eyelashes trembled violently as she said, "I was too impulsive just now. I even offended Cao Miao. My family will definitely blame me this time..."
Looking down at the scenery below, Gu Chen felt a surge of pride and declared, "Don't worry, no matter what family it is, you won't need to face them. Because no one can stop us from being together, because your man will one day rule the world! And tomorrow's gathering will be the day I, Gu Chen, announce my arrival to the families of the Land of Heaven and Earth!"
"Descend?" Hearing Gu Chen's bold words, Sun Jiangman's heart pounded, but she still asked curiously.
Gu Chen smiled slightly, but did not answer her. Instead, he gazed intently at the distant clouds.
Yes, it is not far off!
In his previous life, he was driven out of the Gu Family. Not only did his father fail to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, but he was also stripped of his qualification to enter the Land of Heaven and Earth. But now, everything is different!
Even Master Luo Yunxi's guidance came from the Sun Family of the Land of Heaven and Earth!
He absolutely must go to this place!
Gu Chen's brows were filled with determination!
