The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend-Chapter 196 - 195: It’s Not Courtesy Reciprocated

Chapter 196 -195: It’s Not Courtesy Reciprocated

“Once I finish helping my girlfriend feed the pigs…”

Feeding pigs…

Helping girlfriend…

The moment Gu Huai’s words dropped, Qi Yue’s little head buzzed.

Whether it was Gu Huai suddenly helping her feed the pigs, or those words of his, she was stunned.

And there stood Chen Jing, watching Gu Huai adeptly feed the pigs, utterly dumbfounded.

Qi Yue is… Gu Huai’s… girlfriend?

Chen Jing opened his mouth, unable to utter a word, and only after quite a while did he finally digest this sudden piece of information.

Qi Yue has a boyfriend? And that person is Gu Huai…

So… Qi Yue joined this mixed-team competition, could it be because it was arranged with Gu Huai?

And that night, the reason Qi Yue spoke to him, discussing all those topics, seemed to be… revolving around Gu Huai…

Chen Jing still found it hard to believe. He had heard some rumors and gossip before, claiming that this unworldly boss was in a relationship and had even flaunted it a few times. Who would have thought… the rumored girlfriend of Gu Huai would actually be Qi Yue…

Even with his arrogance, he couldn’t think that Qi Yue, with a boyfriend like Gu Huai, would take an interest in him.

Thinking about all the warnings he had given Qi Yue, Chen Jing almost wished he could dig a hole in the pigpen and burrow into it, his face alternating between shades of green and white.

“Ahem, since Doctor Gu is still busy… then… I won’t bother you any longer…”

Having said that, Chen Jing didn’t want to stay a moment longer and quickly left, no longer interrupting the boss feeding the pig.

After Chen Jing left, only Qi Yue and Gu Huai were left, along with… the pig chomping away in the pigpen.

Qi Yue stared blankly at Gu Huai, the man before her was elegantly handsome, tall and slim, his clean fingers like pieces of art…

Even feeding a pig, he was so noble and graceful…

She felt like the pigs even seemed to eat more cheerfully than usual…

After Chen Jing left, there was a moment when neither Qi Yue nor Gu Huai spoke, the air briefly falling into silence.

“Ahem, it… it seems to like you quite a bit,” Qi Yue said, grasping for something to talk about.

Although she and Gu Huai had helped each other out more than once before, Gu Huai’s words just now still made her feel somewhat awkward and guilty.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After all, the times had changed, and maybe the boss had just been helping her out simply, but now her thoughts about the boss were no longer so pure…

Qi Yue tried to clear her mind of all the jumbled thoughts, calming herself, then gently coughed and spoke, “That… boss, thank you… for helping again…”

Gu Huai, adeptly and naturally feeding the pigs, paused for a moment and looked at Qi Yue, “Helping?”

Qi Yue scratched her head, “Yes… If it wasn’t for you… who knows how long that Chen Jing would have pestered me… So thanks again, boss, for the reciprocation!”

Gu Huai’s hand feeding the pigs paused again, and he spoke unhurriedly, “President Qi probably misunderstood.”

Qi Yue looked puzzled: “Misunderstood?”

Gu Huai’s deep, dark eyes gazed at the girl, speaking lightly, “It’s not about reciprocation.”

Qi Yue frowned, subconsciously murmuring, “Not reciprocation… then what is it…”

Gu Huai spoke lightly and serenely, “Self-defense.”

Qi Yue: “…!”

Self… self-defense…

Qi Yue’s brain buzzed, suddenly blanking out; how come she suddenly couldn’t recognize the idiom “self-defense”?
