Chapter 1037: Her boyfriend is not bad!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I’m not done talking yet! I don’t wanna keep acting like a fool, or else I will definitely stifle myself to death!”
Gu Zhengrong’s lips pursed into a tight line over her loss of control on her emotions .
He was very unhappy with her action today .
“What?! Are you afraid that I will wake up your beloved woman? Hur hur…”
She scoffed with ridicule at the way he shot her cold glare .
Originally, she thought that she should not be jealous of her best friend and that she did not have the right to be jealous .
Everything was her doing, yet when this day finally came, and she saw the man she loved protect her best friend merely after one meeting while not caring a whit about her to the extent of reprimanding her openly, she felt as though a thousand of needles were pricking her heart, making her hurt so much that she was about to lose her rationality .
With the din they were making, the soundly sleeping woman frowned and slowly opened her eyes .
The moment she opened her eyes, Pei Ge spotted her best friend standing by the bedside with red eyes and seemed to be on the verge of crying .
“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong? Why are you about to cry?”
Her expression was so sorrowful that she felt heartache for the other .
Tears filled with anguish and heartache leaked from the other woman’s face the moment she heard her voice .
Just like a little kid who had gotten bullied and saw an ally, her sobbing turned into a full-blown wailing .
Still slightly groggy from sleep, the woman in bed panicked at once when the other started crying so piteously .
She struggled to sit up, but probably due to having slept asleep for too long, her body seemed to lack strength . Thus, she had to expend quite a bit of effort just to sit up on the bed .
Seeing how hard it was for her to sit up, the man could not resist reaching out to help her sit up .
“Be careful; move slower . ”
She only noticed then that another person was actually in the ward!
“Who are you?” Her gaze was guarded and hostile . “Did you make Xiaoyu cry?! What did you do to her?!”
She instantly slapped his hand away and regarded him coldly .
The man felt his heart ache at her hostile and guarded look . The usual confidence and calmness he was currently nowhere to be found .
Gone was his business elite aura, and in lieu, there was a fresh college graduate facing his crush, appearing lost and panicked .
“I…” He wanted to tell the woman his name—who he was and… what kind of connection they had .
Alas, when he opened his mouth to speak, he found himself unable to say anything under her cold and hostile gaze .
This was truly… too shoddy .
He took a deep breath and moved to speak, but his girlfriend beat him to it this time .
“Ge Ge, he’s the person I told you about before: my boyfriend, Gu Zhengrong . ”
His face instantly darkened the moment the latter said that and he looked at her with complexity .
That was because he knew that once such a label was attached to him, he would no longer have any chance with Pei Ge…
That was the case once he was established as Tang Xiaoyu’s boyfriend before everyone’s eyes .
Pei Ge blinked in surprise at the man’s identity .
Isn’t Xiaoyu’s boyfriend busy with work and can’t make it?
Only then did she finally turn to regard the man at her bedside seriously .
The man before her seemed to be in his early thirties . With the air-conditioner in the ward being switched on, the man placed his coat casually on the sofa . Regardless, it was still neatly placed .
It could be seen that the man was a perfectionist in certain areas with deeply ingrained attention to detail .
Right now, with his coat off, the man was only wearing a white shirt . He probably felt warm as his shirt was slightly open, revealing a patch of healthy tanned skin .
From his skin tone and body structure visible through his white shirt, she could tell that he liked working out usually and had a healthy lifestyle .
As this man was her best friend’s boyfriend, she meticulously sized him up .
She openly stared at him, not knowing this was making the latter’s heart pound crazily .
Deep and dark eyes, high and distinct nose bridge, tightly pursed lips…
Breaking these features apart, the man’s looks were not exceptional, but combined, his appearance seemed to be a carefully crafted product by the gods, causing one to be unable to shift their gaze away from him .
Er… My best friend’s boyfriend isn’t shabby at all . Our Xiaoyu has good taste, huh! She thought inwardly once she was done analyzing the man’s features .
Seeing that a certain someone’s expression was about to give way, Tang Xiaoyu tightly pursed her lips and swept her gaze across the man before she looked at the woman in bed . She then coughed loudly .
This cough made the other realize that she had actually been staring at her best friend’s boyfriend for too long .
“Are you done inspecting him? How is it? Is my boyfriend quite a looker?”
Her best friend grinned at her in a voice filled with endless joy and smugness .
If not for her eyes still being a little red and watery, she would have forgotten that the other woman had been crying moments ago!
“Xiaoyu, why were you crying earlier? Also, I seem to have heard you mention me…”
