Chapter 705: Stop before going too far

“It’s all Qi Changfeng’s fault. My stinky cousin insisted on telling me that Jiang Jingcheng was interested in me and it was not a one-sided affair at all. He said that I just needed to hold on a little longer,” Gu Manman thought.

She had held on, but the outcome didn’t seem ideal at all.

“Right, Qi Changfeng!” Gu Manman was very sad now. She just wanted to talk to someone, and it was obvious that Qi Changfeng would be the most suitable one for her to talk to.

No matter what, even if he couldn’t help her, he could accompany her for a few glasses of wine. If she got drunk, he could send her home without her being questioned by her mother. Now that she thought about it, contacting Qi Changfeng was definitely a good deal.

Could it be that everything would be better if she got drunk and enlightened? Then maybe all the problems would be solved easily.

Gu Manman took out her mobile phone and dialed Qi Changfeng’s number, and Qi Changfeng answered the phone quickly. Gu Manman thought that the best thing about him was that he would never let her wait. She felt that he was particularly charming in this aspect.

“Manman, what’s up? You got some news for me?”

Qi Changfeng spoke first. He knew Gu Manman too well. She was a typical kind of person who would not bother others for nothing, and she would not call him for no reason. However, Qi Changfeng did not directly ask Gu Manman why she was looking for him. Instead, he tried every means to remind her that she had her own “duty”.

Gu Manman did not have a chance to understand the second meaning of Qi Changfeng’s words. Even if she did understand it, she was not in the mood to talk about it now.

“Changfeng, what are you doing? Come out for a drink with me.”

Qi Changfeng felt the frustration in Gu Manman’s tone. Although he had much work to do right now, how could he not go to see her when she asked for him? This was not what a good cousin would do at all. Qi Changfeng did not waste time asking about her situation. He just asked for the location and then left.

He didn’t care how much work he had left behind.

When Qi Changfeng arrived at the place Gu Manman mentioned, there were already a lot of bottles on the table in front of her. He felt a little helpless. It seemed that his cousin had indeed encountered a difficult problem today. Otherwise, she would not have lost her composure and drunk so much in such a short time. It looked like she really wanted to get herself drunk.

Qi Changfeng walked forward, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Gu Manman. She raised her eyelids and saw that it was her cousin. Without saying anything, she just poured a glass of wine for him.

He felt that it was funny. “What on earth happened to Gu Manman today? Why is she acting like she has suffered a lot?” He could tell that if he did not ask her about her situation today, she would not say anything. It seemed that she had made up her mind to put on a show of suffering all the way.

Qi Changfeng finished his glass of wine in one breath and then asked Gu Manman, “Tell me. What’s going on?”

“What happened? What made my lively cousin not smile for quite a while today?” he thought.

Qi Changfeng guessed that it had something to do with Jiang Jingcheng. Nowadays, girls easily got upset when they suffered a slight setback in their relationship and tended to make themselves look like the female lead in a Bitter Situation Opera. Since Gu Manman was his cousin, Qi Changfeng didn’t feel the need to comfort her with nice words.

Gu Manman did not say anything. She just looked up at him pitifully, but he quickly avoided her eyes. Since young, he had known her character well and knew what this kind of look meant.

He could not look directly into her eyes. He knew that as long as he did so, he would surrender in less than two minutes.

“How long has it been since Gu Manman looked at me like that?” Qi Changfeng felt lost in thought. He couldn’t remember when Gu Manman looked at him like that for the last time.

However, he still avoided her eyes out of instinct right now.

Seeing that her cousin avoided her eyes, Gu Manman cursed in her heart, “Sure enough, men are all unreliable, and none of them are good.”

How could Qi Changfeng know that he had become unreliable after just avoiding Gu Manman’s innocent eyes?

Gu Manman’s original intention was to ask Qi Changfeng to put in a good word for her in front of Gu Yan. It would be best if Gu Yan could not only allow her to stay out of this project, but also to let her continue to work in the studio. But now, before she could even make a request, Qi Changfeng had avoided her eyes.

Gu Manman felt that now everything was against her. Even her cousin, who had always doted on her since childhood, had changed sides. With Gu Yan, he would no longer stand on her side.

Gu Manman only thought of Qi Changfeng betraying her and becoming a member of Gu Yan’s camp, but she never thought of telling him about her previous provocation of Gu Yan. Gu Manman did not have the guts to tell him about what she had done. If he knew that she had secretly cut the ground from underneath his feet when he had tried his best to arrange jobs for her, he would definitely skin her alive.

Just thinking about it gave Gu Manman goosebumps. If Qi Changfeng found out what she had done, she would not be able to live her life at ease.

Gu Manman was not stupid. She asked Qi Changfeng out today because she wanted him to give her some advice and she did not want to make things difficult for him. So she thought that it was better not to talk about these things for now and decided to tell him about them when the time was right.

She would wait until Qi Changfeng found a girlfriend. And after that, she could just tell him that she had done these things in order to vent anger for him.

As Gu Manman thought about it, she became lost in thought. Qi Changfeng looked at her, who didn’t say anything. But he was not in a hurry to hear her and just drank his wine slowly.

“Well, this is good wine, but Gu Manman’s way of drinking is too wasteful. She’s not cherishing it!” Qi Changfeng sighed emotionally in his heart. What the cousins thought was totally different. They were not on the same page at all.

Gu Manman stole a glance at Qi Changfeng and found that he was calmly tasting the wine and did not intend to continue to ask her. She could not help but feel frustrated right away. It seemed that she had to speak first. Otherwise, she did not know how long it would take for him to speak and she didn’t count on it. She knew very well that she should stop before going too far.
