Chapter 110: So the Person I Like Is You

Bai Shuruo never imagined that the vehicle Meng Ze was driving would actually be a flashy men's motorcycle.

Upon reaching the motorcycle, he handed Bai Shuruo a helmet, and then he put on a black one himself.

After he finished putting his on, he saw Bai Shuruo still fumbling clumsily with the safety buckle and couldn't help but say, "Let me help you."

He then lowered his head, and with a "click," his hands fastened it for her and pulled it tight.

"Supervisor Bai, get on," he said to Bai Shuruo after mounting the bike first.

Bai Shuruo was glad she was wearing jeans.

However, his bike was very tall, and at her height, she couldn't swing her leg over it, so she had to step onto the footrest first and then slowly climb across.

She felt like a clumsy penguin.

Meng Ze stepped on the clutch, and the bike vibrated violently; Bai Shuruo was startled and couldn't help but grab his clothes.

Meng Ze then increased the throttle, and the motorcycle roared and sped away.

In that instant, Bai Shuruo was so scared her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

She had ridden a motorcycle only a handful of times in her life; seeing others ride on the road usually seemed normal, but she hadn't expected it to be so thrilling once she was on it, with very little to hold onto—it was what people commonly called "flesh wrapping iron."

She was afraid at first, but later she slowly began to feel the excitement.

At this hour, there were not many cars on the main road, the streetlights were bright, the motorcycle rumbled as it sped along, and the wind blew her clothes and hair.

Deep within her soul, some kind of emotion was slowly being released.

Meng Ze didn't know how he found out where she lived, but he stopped at the entrance of the residential complex.

The stop was also very sudden, like an emergency brake; it stopped in a flash.

She was caught off guard and lunged onto his back.

But she quickly pulled away to sit upright and hurriedly got off the bike.

The moment her feet touched the ground, all her thoughts came rushing back.

"I'm here, thank you for bringing me back," Bai Shuruo said.

Just as she was about to head back, Meng Ze laughed and said, "Does Supervisor Bai intend to take my helmet home as a souvenir?"

"Oh, of course not," Bai Shuruo hurriedly tried to undo the buckle.

She didn't know how this buckle worked; it was difficult to fasten and difficult to undo. She tried for quite a while without success, and in the end, it was Meng Ze who undid it for her.

He stood in front of her with a roguish smile; the smile wasn't very respectful, but it wasn't without sincerity either—it seemed like he was flirting.

After he undid it, Bai Shuruo hurried into the residential complex.

And behind her, Meng Ze got on the motorcycle and left with a rumble.

Bai Shuruo returned home to see Han Yangting still sitting on the sofa, working on his laptop.

"Brother Han, I'm back," Bai Shuruo said.

"So late? How did you get back?"

"A-a colleague brought me back," Bai Shuruo said, trying to remain as calm as possible, though in reality, she felt a bit guilty.

Han Yangting asked, "Oh, what kind of colleague?"

"One of my subordinates, his name is Meng Ze; he was hired a few days ago," Bai Shuruo decided to just be honest.

Han Yangting didn't suspect anything further.

But he walked over, sniffed her, and said, "You didn't drink?"

"Others did, but I didn't," Bai Shuruo said. "My tolerance is poor, and I was afraid of getting drunk."

He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Feeling that his lips were very cool, he then held her hands and found them to be cold as well, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it cold outside? Why are your hands so cold?"

"That colleague said he would bring me back, and I thought he was driving a car; I only found out later that it was a motorcycle," Bai Shuruo said.

Han Yangting listened to it as if it were a joke.

He ruffled her hair and said dotingly, "No wonder your hair is all flattened, like a little puppy. Why don't you go take a hot shower so you don't catch a cold?"

"Mm, I'll go right now."

……

At the same time, Ling Feng's car also pulled up downstairs at Bai Shunan's home.

"I'm here, thank you for bringing me back," Bai Shunan smiled at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng joked, "Aren't you going to invite me up for a drink?"

"Maybe another day."

"You said 'another day' last time, too."

Bai Shunan said awkwardly, "It's already past 11 o'clock, and there's work in the production department tomorrow. I have to get up early, and besides, a man and a woman alone... it's not appropriate."

"Fine, then another day," Ling Feng said.

Bai Shunan got out of the car and watched Ling Feng's car drive away.

Ling Feng was always expressing his love for her from time to time.

At first, she just took him for a playboy; playboys flirt with everyone regardless of who they are, loving whoever they see, purely driven by physical desire, so she just played along and joked with him.

It wasn't until she saw his cut finger and realized he had cooked for her that she knew he had started to get emotionally involved.

Therefore, Bai Shunan's rejection became even more firm.

She was now focused solely on work, and her feelings were like dead ashes; she didn't dare to think about them, nor did she want to.

She entered the residential complex and went home.

However, upon reaching her door, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, giving her a huge fright. Thinking it was a thief, she swung the bag in her hand at the person and was about to scream when she heard Gu Yunting's voice: "Bai Shunan, it's me!"

Only then did Bai Shunan stop hitting and look closely at the person in front of her.

Gu Yunting looked very haggard and was covered in the smell of alcohol.

"Why are you here?" Bai Shunan asked, still shaken.

Gu Yunting said, "The stock price of the Gu Group rose today, and I was happy, so I went to have a few drinks with the shareholders. Later, I don't know why, but I thought of you, so I came."

Bai Shunan steadied herself, tidied her bag, and then said, "Then what do you want by coming here?"

"Can we go inside to talk?"

"I'm afraid not," Bai Shunan said.

Gu Yunting used to have the code to her door lock, but she had already changed it.

Gu Yunting laughed at himself, "You're that repulsed by me?"

Bai Shunan spoke bluntly, "President Gu, we are no longer in that kind of relationship. You've been drinking, and if your lust has gone to your head, you can go find someone else. As long as President Gu wants, there are plenty of women for you to choose from. Of course, it's hard to find someone as good-looking as me, but if you search patiently, you'll always find someone."

"You think I only want to sleep with you?" Gu Yunting was angry.

"Isn't that it?"

Gu Yunting reached out a large hand, wrapped it around her waist, and then pressed her firmly against the door frame.

"Gu Yunting, what are you doing? This is a hallway, a public space." Bai Shunan wanted to hit him with her bag again.

But Gu Yunting pinned her hands down just in time.

Bai Shunan could not move.

"Nannan, I've thought it over clearly during this time. Can you... can you be my girlfriend?"

Bai Shunan was stunned.

"Does President Gu mean that you like me?"

"Yes, I like you, and at the same time I hate myself. Why the hell did I only realize until now that I like you?" He panted heavily.

"Then what about Mo Wanqing?"

"I thought the person I liked was her, but later I discovered I never loved her, and she never loved me either. I'm sorry, Bai Shunan, because of her, I did some things that hurt you."

Bai Shunan stepped on his shoe, and he winced in pain, instinctively jumping back.

While entering her door lock code, Bai Shunan said, "President Gu, you actually don't love anyone; you only love yourself. Please stop pestering me. If you come again, I'll call the police!"

Gu Yunting stood blankly at the doorway.

He had confessed his feelings, so why did she still shut him out?

Was it because there was already someone else in her heart?

Ling Feng?

Bai Shunan returned inside and immediately locked the door.

Then she walked to the sofa and lay down, feeling listless.

Once upon a time, whenever she was hurt, she would lie on this sofa and drink until she was drunk, but now...

She still poured herself a glass of wine, but she didn't drink until she was drunk; it was purely to help her fall asleep better.

When Bai Shuruo was showering, for some reason, the figure wearing the number 7 jersey kept appearing in her mind from time to time.

She tried her best not to think about it, so she spent a little longer washing her hair and showering.

After finishing, she walked out wrapped in a bath towel, only to see Han Yangting sitting by her bed.
