“I haven’t told you this, but I actually go by another name…”
However, upon hearing the name he spoke of, Pei Ge did not have much of a reaction .
It was as though this was her first time hearing his name .
Gu Zhengrong seemed not to have expected this lack of response from her as he was a little taken aback .
“Then? Don’t think that you can let her down just because you have another name!”
She coldly snorted, glaring at him with hostility .
“…You don’t remember it . ”
Faced with her cold regard, the man suffered a deep blow .
“Remember what? I am speaking about important matters to you here!”
She frowned, not liking the attitude he was displaying .
She was clearly speaking about important matters to him, yet he was still bringing up inconsequential topics .
“You truly don’t remember me anymore?”
A long pause later, the man found his voice again . He did not give up and asked that question anew .
“What are you trying to say?”
Annoyed, the woman glared coldly, not bothering to maintain cordiality with him .
“So that’s it… It turns out that I am being too full of myself…”
He chuckled self-deprecatingly . He had never expected it to end like this after speaking the name he had not used for a long time .
Pei Ge did not know why, but when she saw his smile, she felt a little stifled .
“Let me put it another way . ”
He took a deep breath and looked straight at her .
“Over a decade ago, my studies were sponsored by your family . Perhaps, without you, there wouldn’t be me now . ”
His eyes shone after saying that .
It was clear that he was still slightly looking forward to her reaction .
Her reaction was bound to disappoint him, though .
Surprise fleeted across the woman’s eyes, but that was it .
“Yes, and then? Don’t tell me that, just because of that, you like me instead of my best friend?”
She looked at him calmly .
It was as though what he had just told her was inconsequential . Of course, that was truly the case .
That statement alone crushed his heart .
He had imagined the different scenarios his confession would affect her, but he had not once expected her to have such a… lack of reaction .
In that instant, his breathing grew labored .
Pei Ge knew that she was spot on when she noted his expression .
For once, she did not know what to say, either .
She felt even more heartache and pain for her best friend . To actually fall in love with such a man, how did she manage all these years?
“I wasn’t alone in funding your studies back then . Xiaoyu contributed, too . In fact, when you said that you wouldn’t be you now without me back then, it’s actually untrue .
“Back then, we merely sponsored you for the first few years and then my family lost our wealth . We never could continue sponsoring you afterward . The one you should be thanking for what you have right now is your girlfriend, instead . ”
