Chapter 305: Chapter 308 A fool has loved you_1

After taking a glance at Gu Xiaorou’s message, Yang Gang had carelessly forgotten to lock his cellphone.

Dong Qian stared at the flickering phone screen for a moment, then reached out to pick it up. She glanced at the caller ID and paused slightly.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Dong Qian pressed the answer key.

"Gang, you bastard, why aren’t you replying to my messages?!" Gu Xiaorou’s roar erupted from the phone.

Dong Qian was taken aback. This woman named Gu Xiaorou was nothing like how Zhang Yu had described her.

In Zhang Yu’s words, Gu Xiaorou was a refined and virtuous lady, but the frantic woman on the phone was anything but elegant.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Gu Xiaorou felt perplexed. "Hello, Gang..."

"Oh, um, Yang Gang just went to the bathroom." Dong Qian replied.

Gu Xiaorou paused at the sound of a strange woman’s voice.

Who was this woman? And why was she answering Gang’s phone?

In the bathroom? Could this woman be in Gang’s house? Or were they in a hotel room together?

Gu Xiaorou’s was in a turmoil. She took a moment to regain her composure, then asked calmly, "Who are you?"

Dong Qian hesitated again, feeling a subtle hostility.

"My name is Dong Qian, I’m your boyfriend Zhang Yu’s work partner." Dong Qian responded nonchalantly.

There was a trace of provocation in her words. However, with Gu Xiaorou’s mind occupied by notions of Dong Qian’s relationship with Yang Gang, she didn’t seem to notice.

"Dong Qian... Oh, Zhang Yu just mentioned you. Miss Dong, since you’re Zhang Yu’s work partner, why are you with Yang Gang?" Gu Xiaorou asked calmly.

Dong Qian chuckled, "Would you prefer if I was with Zhang Yu?"

Splutter!

Gu Xiaorou was flabbergasted. It suddenly dawned on her.

This woman was picking a fight!

"I don’t really care. After all, Zhang Yu spends more time with you than he does with me." Gu Xiaorou responded, before pressing on, "Miss Dong, you still haven’t answered my question. Why are you with Yang Gang?"

Dong Qian was slightly frustrated, "Miss Gu, why are you so hung up on this? Why does it matter to you what I do or who I do it with?"

Gu Xiaorou was taken aback, but quickly recovered, "Of course it matters! Yang Gang is my good friend’s fiancé. As her friend, I have the right to keep an eye on him and prevent him from flirting with other women!"

Splutter!

Dong Qian was rendered speechless by Gu Xiaorou’s audacity. Where was the gentle and refined lady Zhang Yu had described?

After a short moment of silence, Dong Qian suddenly smiled, "Oh, don’t worry. Yang Gang’s only starry-eyed over my chest, he hasn’t done anything inappropriate."

Gu Xiaorou’s face darkened instantly.

Seeing that Gu Xiaorou had grown silent, Dong Qian continued, "By the way, Miss Gu, have you arrived at Hangcheng yet? Did Zhang Yu pick you up?"

"Um... No, not yet. I’m still boarding the plane. Once I’m in the air I won’t be able to make calls. I’ll call him to pick me up once I’ve arrived in Hangcheng. Thanks for your concern, Miss Dong." Gu Xiaorou responded lightly.

Just as Dong Qian was about to speak, Yang Gang returned.

"Yang Gang, I’m sorry I answered your phone without permission. It was Miss Gu who called." Dong Qian mentioned.

Yang Gang accepted his cellphone, cast Dong Qian a glance, then said indifferently, "Miss Dong, it’s impolite—and illegal, to some extent—to answer other people’s calls without permission."

"I apologize for that. To make it up, I’ll treat you to a meal next time. I have to go now. I’ve settled the bill." Dong Qian left shortly after stating this.

Once Dong Qian had left, Yang Gang made sure that they weren’t being eavesdropped on, before awkwardly speaking into the phone, "Well, Xiaorou, I just went to the bathroom."

Gu Xiaorou didn’t respond.

"Xiaorou?"

"Xiaorou? Are you still there?"

After what seemed like an eternity, Gu Xiaorou finally responded faintly, "Come pick me up at the airport."

After speaking, she added another sentence, "Come alone. Do not bring Zhang Yu."

Yang Gang froze, before managing to utter four words, "Got it."

...

Driving to Hangcheng International Airport in his Lamborghini, Yang Gang found Gu Xiaorou sitting in a corner of the airport hall, looking disgruntled.

"Look, Miss Gu, why are you so upset? Zhang Yu and Dong Qian are just colleagues, it’s not what you think. You’re blowing this out of proportion." Yang Gang tried to advise her.

Gu Xiaorou glared at Yang Gang, then out of the blue, bit his neck.

Ouch...

Yang Gang was dumbfounded.

For heaven’s sake, what was happening?

Why was he the one getting hurt when it was Zhang Yu flirting with other women?!

"Gu Xiaorou, if you’re mad, be mad at Zhang Yu. Why is it always me that gets hurt?" a bewildered Yang Gang asked.

"Hmph!"

After a while of silence, Gu Xiaorou suddenly asked, "Gang, does this woman called Dong Qian have a big chest?"

"Oh, not as good as you," said Yang Gang honestly.

"Then there’s nothing worth looking at!" Gu Xiaorou puffed.

Yang Gang: ...

...

After leaving the airport, Yang Gang glanced at Gu Xiaorou and asked, "Xiaorou, why didn’t you let Zhang Yu pick you up?"

Gu Xiaorou turned her face to the car window without uttering a word.

"You’re still mad at Zhang Yu, aren’t you? Come on, don’t hold onto it. In the Bounty Hunter World, it’s common for men and women to team up. Didn’t Su Xiaoxi and He Deng partner up too? You need to trust Zhang Yu, he would never betray you," Yang Gang advised.

But Gu Xiaorou remained silent.

After a while, suddenly she spoke up, "Gang, do you think I’ll be happy if I marry Zhang Yu?"

At that moment, Yang Gang felt a surge of congestion in his heart.

And then he remembered.

Besides hunting him down, Zhang Yu had another important reason for coming to Hangcheng: to propose to Gu Xiaorou.

They had been dating for three to four years, and marriage was the next natural step.

This should have been a joyous moment, so why did his heart feel so constricted?

After a long silence, he said lightly, "You probably will be. Zhang Yu used to neglect you due to his bounty hunting. But I think after you get married, he wouldn’t be running around anymore, leaving you alone at home. You guys will have a child, and your family will be happy..."

Yang Gang tried to picture the future happy life for Gu Xiaorou, but as he was describing it, he found that he couldn’t continue.

With every scene he tried to envision, his heart ached inexplicably.

Why was it like this?

Yang Gang couldn’t understand.

"Gang, stop the car," Gu Xiaorou suddenly ordered.

Yang Gang stopped the car and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Xiaorou looked at Yang Gang in daze and said, "Hug me."

"Huh?" Yang Gang was somewhat stunned for a moment.

"Hug me," Gu Xiaorou repeated.

"But..." Yang Gang scratched his head.

"After I marry Zhang Yu, we can’t do this anymore," Gu Xiaorou said lightly.

A pang of apprehension passed through Yang Gang; he opened his arms and held Gu Xiaorou tightly.

Gu Xiaorou buried her head deeply into Yang Gang’s chest. It was warm here, and she could clearly hear Yang Gang’s heartbeat.

She knew what she was doing was immoral, a betrayal to Zhang Yu, and she would be pointed finger at.

But if she didn’t seize this opportunity, she might not get another chance.

She was about to get married.

The concepts of before and after marriage are entirely different.

Just thinking about permanently saying goodbye to Yang Gang, Gu Xiaorou felt her heart twisted like a knife, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Yang Gang’s chest was quickly dampened by Gu Xiaorou’s tears; he felt bewildered and wasn’t certain how to react.

"Gang, let me sing a song?" Gu Xiaorou suddenly proposed.

"Huh?"

"What huh? I just suddenly wanted to sing," said Gu Xiaorou.

"Oh. Which song do you want to sing?" asked Yang Gang.

"Tang Gu’s ’A Fool Has Loved You’," Gu Xiaorou paused, looked into Yang Gang’s eyes, and gently began humming:

"

A fool once loved you

He was head over heels for you

It’s my fault for lacking courage

I never dared to tell you

I was afraid, afraid you’d laugh at my obsession

A fool once loved you

Your smile made my heart race

I chose to give up

Not that I don’t love you

But I must hide this true love deep in my heart

Because I love you

..."
