Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!
Chapter 2040: Collateral Damage Ex-Girlfriend vs. Blackened Current Girlfriend (Part 6)She put down the cup in her hand, looked at Zhang Hanhan who finally stopped, and suddenly asked, "Miss Zhang, are you thirsty?"
Zhang Hanhan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant, instinctively replied, "No, I’m not thirsty."
Gu Shengyin smiled and said, "Oh, I thought you might be thirsty after saying so much."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hanhan’s expression changed. Was this implying that she was being long-winded?
She secretly gritted her teeth, thinking that this woman was indeed not easy to deal with.
She waited for Gu Shengyin to continue speaking, so she could respond accordingly.
But unfortunately, Gu Shengyin did not cooperate with her intentions.
After saying that sentence, she once again fell into silence.
The atmosphere between the two had been shrouded in a mysterious awkwardness from the start.
Watching time tick by, Zhang Hanhan looked at the clock. In a while, she would have to head back to make dinner for Xie Ming.
Seeing that Gu Shengyin had no intention of speaking, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Xie Ming and I might get engaged at the end of the year."
After saying that, she let out an "oops," as if she remembered something and stopped talking, slightly embarrassed, "Look at me, Xie Ming said not to tell anyone yet, but I just can’t keep things to myself..."
Gu Shengyin suddenly let out a chuckle.
This was probably the most intense expression of emotion Zhang Hanhan had seen from her since they met today.
Then she saw the other party looking straight at her.
Zhang Hanhan couldn’t help but release her grip on the coffee cup, waiting for Gu Shengyin to say something.
Yet Gu Shengyin did speak.
Her eyes were the long, narrow phoenix eyes that carried a slight sense of oppression when she seriously looked at someone.
At this moment, Zhang Hanhan clearly felt this oppression.
"I say, Miss Zhang, what’s the point of declaring your matters with your boyfriend to a stranger like me? If you truly want to spread the word, you can reach out to a few media outlets, spend some money, and plenty of people will publicize it for you."
Her tone was steady, her voice clear and gentle, speaking as if she were reciting prose: "Or maybe, Miss Zhang purposely came to say it to me, the ex-girlfriend?"
Her words revealed neither joy nor anger, leaving Zhang Hanhan unable to figure out what she intended to convey.
However, there was no need for her to figure it out because Gu Shengyin said it herself.
She said, "But I don’t think there’s any need for that, Miss Zhang. Xie Ming and I had a past, but that’s long gone. I was the one who initiated the breakup, so you can rest assured, Miss Xie, I have no habit of looking back."
"Furthermore, I won’t be lacking men to the point of interfering in anyone else’s relationship."
"Miss Zhang, there’s no need to waste your efforts on me."
This was a rather tactful way of saying:
The translated meaning is: Don’t worry, I’m not still thinking about your man. I didn’t fancy him back then, and I certainly don’t fancy him now. Stop bothering me.
Zhang Hanhan felt stifled.
She hadn’t expected that the other party wouldn’t even bother being tactful and instead directly exposed her intentions.
This made her feel very awkward.
She forced a smile and said, "Miss Xie, you’re overthinking it. I just heard that you and Xie Ming got along well and wanted to meet you..."
Gu Shengyin raised a hand to stop her words: "No need for introductions, he and I didn’t have the most amicable breakup back then, and we haven’t been in contact for years. If you do get married, I won’t attend, but I’ll wish you a long and happy life in advance."
