Group confession?!
The boys, who had formed an alliance at some unknown time and forgotten their competitive spirit among themselves, said in unison.
Ai Le was in disarray. She had heard of group marriages, group blind dates, but never a group confession, let alone one directed at a single person.
Rolling her eyes at Gu Xiaoer, "And you said the men in your family are peach-liked eyes, but aren't you just the same!"
Gu Xiaoer felt wronged, "I... Did I run into some bad luck?"
This absolutely must not reach Da Luoluo's ears. Otherwise, she'd be the one to "suffer and toil" again.
Ai Le quickly gave Gu Xiaoer a reassuring expression and shouted at the large group of diverse boys, "My Xiao Er is already taken, you guys better back off quick!"
"We don't believe it, we won't believe it!" A group of boys, as if they already knew this line, shook their heads resolutely.
Then, one of them, showing great organization and discipline, stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"Xiao Er, I've liked you for a long time, always watching you from afar!" Full of deep emotions.
However, in less than five seconds, he was pushed aside by another boy, "Xiao Er, we're classmates from the same department, I believe we can find much more in common."
Another one stepped up, "Xiao Er, if you date me, I'll put your name on all three of my family's properties!"
...
Gu Xiaoer stood frozen in place, gripping Ai Le's hand tightly, muttering, "Spirits of heaven and earth, reveal the evil spirit!"
Today wasn't April Fool's day, was it, or was someone pranking her?
Why did these admirers suddenly come out of nowhere? This didn't make sense!
Ai Le also looked worried. She had seen confessions, but never group confessions. Xiao Er, you might as well open a harem at this rate.
The confession event drew a massive crowd. There were those in awe, those in envy, and all sorts of whispers and murmurs came in waves.
"Is that Gu Xiaoer? Impressive, my sis. The unnoticed ugly duckling turned into a swan, right?"
"I've never seen anything like this, over twenty guys confessing to a girl at the same time, this is just too crazy!"
"So what, haven't you heard? Gu Xiaoer's identity is not what it used to be!" someone said with a hushed tone, as if they were privy to a major secret.
Gu Xiaoer and Ai Le looked at each other and quickly perked up their ears, "Sister, do tell, we're dying to know too!"
"What's going on, what identity, come on, spill it!"
The person arched an eyebrow, sounding smug, "The President of Shenghan Group is Gu Xiaoer's godfather! Why else would so many people rush to her, if not for money!"
"Godfather?!"
No sooner had these words been spoken than the previously whispering crowd exploded, word of mouth spreading like wildfire. The tone of their talk subtly changed, and the looks they gave Gu Xiaoer unconsciously held different connotations.
Goddaughter of the President of Shenghan Group, what kind of status is that? It's even more prestigious than a national princess, okay?
"Is it just a pure godfather relationship, or is it, you know!" The ordinary female college student getting a godfather always comes with a bit of gossip.
"That's hard to say. But Gu Xiaoer has to get married eventually, right? With her status and her dowry, that's no small matter! Just look at the clothes she's wearing now, they may seem unassuming, but take a closer look, the fabric, the tailoring, definitely from a high-end brand!"
"Lucky to have such a godfather!"
"I want a godfather like that too..."
Gu Xiaoer listened and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Do you really think we can't hear you whispering?
Heh, creating drama, right? The President of Shenghan is my godfather, could you get any more ridiculous? How about saying he's my husband!
Baseless, illogical stuff, how on earth do you guys come up with this?
