Chapter 71: They're Engaged.
Shi Caining was stunned for a moment. "You don't have any objections?"
"Of course not." Gu Kuangen walked over and extended his hand to wrap around her waist.
Shi Caining was so scared that she took a step back. Gu Kuangen raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Shi Caining, you're my girlfriend now."
Shi Caining's entire body froze. Yes, she had promised...
When his hand wrapped around her waist, Shi Caining lowered her head. Her face was slightly hot and a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous. I won't eat you... Even though I really want to eat you..."
The low and hoarse laughter made her face and earlobes turn even redder.
"Gu Kuangen, you can't make fun of me."
"What I said is true." Gu Kuangen pulled her into his embrace and gently sniffed her fragrant hair. "Thank you, I feel much better now."
Shi Caining was extremely nervous, always afraid that he would kiss her.
In the end, Gu Kuangen only kissed her hair and let go of her. His pair of dark eyes carried a teasing smile. "What, are you disappointed that I didn't do something... Meaningful?"
Shi Caining glared at him unhappily. However, when she met the pair of dark eyes, her heart beat even faster.
"No!"
"Your dark circles have appeared. Shi Caining, you don't have to feel too much pressure. I can already eat now, can't I?" Gu Kuangen reached out and gently stroked her dark circles.
Shi Caining pulled back again. Gu Kuangen's little finger had already pressed down on her eyes. The warm feeling made her feel like she was electrocuted.
"You can prepare lunch now, Shi Caining."
Seeing her lifeless gaze, Gu Kuangen could not bear to tease her anymore. He withdrew his hand and strode out.
Shi Caining looked at his back. Biting her lips, her heart thumped like thunder.
Time flew by quickly.
A month had passed and Gu Kuangen was already able to eat a bowl of rice.
This month was the most unforgettable time for Shi Caining.
Because her life had returned to normal. She was no longer unemployed, and she slowly felt a sense of accomplishment.
The only downside was that Jiang Ruyi would jump out from time to time to disgust her.
Qiao Chengjun would also call her from time to time to scold her. In any case, every time she hung up, she would block her new number.
Gu Kuangen's anorexia could be considered to be on the rise. Only then did Grandma Gu come back from Country M. When she saw Shi Caining, she also liked her.
Although Shi Caining's family background and status were not very good, when Grandma Gu married Grandpa Gu, she was a girl from a small family.
Therefore, she was extremely satisfied with Shi Caining. In addition, her culinary skills were good and she was very understanding. After a long time, Grandma Gu had treated Shi Caining as a treasure in her hands.
Qiao Chengchuan and Yu Shuangwei were finally engaged.
The news that filled the sky was all about them.
Apart from the slight pain in her heart, Shi Caining felt more relieved.
If they were engaged, it meant that... Nothing could change.
She, Shi Caining, wouldn't have any romantic involvement with Qiao Chengchuan anymore, right?
Even though the matter with Qiao Chengnan had yet to be found out.
That day, Shi Caining cooked dinner in the villa and was ready to send it to Gu Kuangen.
Suddenly, she received a call from Qiao Chengchuan.
It was an unfamiliar number. Shi Caining had just finished packing the food when she picked it up.
"Caining..." An unfamiliar yet familiar voice came from the other side.
Shi Caining's heart trembled. This voice was so far away that it sounded like it was calling from the ends of the earth. It made her feel like she was in a dream.
"It's me... Qiao Chengchuan."
