Reborn To Love

Chapter 33 I Like You

When she reached the sidewalk, she saw that Gu Yechen had already arrived.

After receiving the dress, He Xinyan's opinion of Gu Yechen had increased drastically. Yes, she was that easy to bribe.

She picked up her pace a little and got into the car.

"Gu Yechen -" He Xinyan looked at him and her mouth froze. Gu Yechen was still wearing the same black suit jacket and black pants on the outside, but inside. . . his normal black shirt and tie was replaced with a light blue shirt and tie that matched in color with He Xinyan's dress.

"You. . . You're wearing different colors today."

Gu Yechen looked down at his tie and nodded his head. Of course he had to match with her. . .

The car started moving as He Xinyan remembered what she wanted to say at first, "Oh! Thank you for the dress. I really like it."

"That's good." When it wasn't necessary, Gu Yechen kept his cold demeanor, but only he knew that inside, he was jumping from happiness.

Out of curiosity, He Xinyan asked, "How did you get an order from Hepix?"

"It was a gift to me from their designer."

". . ." Hepix didn't even gift the royal family their products although they did always keep two hundred orders for them. However, the royal family still had to pay for the products.

He Xinyan knew that the Gu family was powerful, but it seems like they were way more powerful than what she thought.

Halfway through the ride, He Xinyan decided to break the silence by asking Gu Yechen about what he said in the morning.

"Gu Yechen. . . In the morning, you said you wanted to support your future wife. What did you mean by that?"

Gu Yechen turned his head around to look at He Xinyan, and he stared intently into her eyes, almost as if he was testing to see whether she really didn't understand or if she was only pretending.

He Xinyan looked away from the intense stare and gulped.

"The literal meaning."

'Literal meaning?' He Xinyan scratched her head but quickly stopped because she was afraid of messing up her hair.

He Xinyan asked Gu Yechen her inner thought, "So are you saying I will be your future wife?"

Gu Yechen slightly furrowed his eyebrow as he continued to stare at He Xinyan.

". . . But that doesn't make sense. You're Gu Yechen. There's no way you would marry a person like me. . ."

"What type of person are you?"

He Xinyan talked to herself out loud, "I am an amazing person! But. . . you. . ."

He Xinyan was quite confident in herself. She had a good family background, she was pretty, smart, rich, and had a good personality. However, in front of Gu Yechen, her confidence decreased. . .

After all, they were on two completely different levels.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing. . . You're just too perfect. But you were joking, right? There is no way you would like someone like me!"

In Gu Yechen's mind, millions of thoughts were running around. Should he say the truth? Should he tell her he liked her? Was it too soon? What if she didn't like him back?

The car stopped in front of the red carpet leading into the Xinhe Hotel, and from inside the car, He Xinyan could see the flashing lights.

There were no reporters around, and the party was completely private.

Gu Yechen took off his seatbelt and sighed, "But I do like you."

Without waiting for a response, Gu Yechen got out of the car and walked around to open the door for He Xinyan.

As he walked, he let out a breath of relief. He didn't know if what he did was the right decision, but it felt good to be open about his love.

He Xinyan froze with her hand on top of the seat belt click, and she only broke out of her stupor when she heard the car door open.

She looked up at Gu Yechen and stared at him blankly, 'This guy liked me? Am I really that attractive? Do I like him? He's rich, and handsome, and tall, and generous, and romantic. . . Is he romantic? Should I marry him? If I marry him, would we have kids together? What should I name the kid? Do I want a boy or a girl? But what about. . .'

*helemon's note: Um. . . Yanyan, I think you're thinking a little too far ahead

Gu Yechen smiled when he saw He Xinyan's blank expression, and he leaned forward. A cool, minty smell entered He Xinyan's nose, and she leaned back against the chair.

She watched as Gu Yechen helped her take off her seatbelt and grab onto her hand. In the next few seconds, he led her into the large hotel, and at once, everyone inside the large room turned to look at them.

He Xinyan blinked a few times and tried to focus on other things, like the delicious-looking foods on the tables.

Right now, her goal should be to get some connections. She can ask Gu Yechen about what he said in the car later.

He Xinyan smoothly wrapped her hand around Gu Yechen's arm, and they walked towards a table together. Although He Xinyan really wanted to eat the food on the table, she felt a little embarrassed to just suddenly grab a plate with Gu Yechen right next to her.

Plus, she wasn't here to eat.

However, to her surprise, Gu Yechen picked up a plate of strawberry cream cake, which was her favorite cake.

He grabbed onto the fork and sliced the cake. Holding it up to He Xinyan's mouth, he said coolly, 'Ah'.

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow but obediently opened her mouth. The soft and sweet cake entered her mouth, and she smiled happily from her favorite part, the cream.

The food had won her over, and she grabbed the plate from Gu Yechen and continued eating. Gu Yechen smiled and watched her eat.

After He Xinyan finished, Gu Yechen then picked up a macaron and held it up for He Xinyan to eat. She took a bite and slightly scrunched her face up because it was a little sweet.

Gu Yechen noticed her small movement and he looked at the macaron before eating the remaining half.

Once again, He Xinyan was surprised as he looked up at Gu Yechen. But she just bit that. . .

As He Xinyan munched on a cookie, she saw from the corner of her eyes that a woman was walking their way.

Bonus Scene:

Jin Yu returned from the He mansion and knocked on the door to Gu Yechen's office. Gu Yechen was in his own private mansion that was even bigger than the one in Xihe Estates.

It was the only building around and it was located on the large piece of land owned by Gu Yechen.

"Mr. Gu." Jin Yu greeted.

"Did you give the dress to her?" Gu Yechen asked as he continued to type on his computer.

"Yes sir." Jin Yu paused before asking, "Mr. Gu, I have a question."

Gu Yechen glanced up from his computer screen, "Ask."

"I am confused about why you are attending that party. There is no one significant going and there is no use in attending. Plus, you never attend these types of gatherings."

Gu Yechen closed his computer screen and leaned back casually against his huge chair. He was wearing a casual black shirt and sweatpants, and he also had a pair of glasses on.

He closed his eyes and took the eyeglasses off, "This party has no use for me, but it does for her."

Jin Yu froze for a second from his boss's reply. Looks like Mr. Gu was serious in this relationship. He was already helping her and planning a road for that woman. . .

After Jin Yu left, Gu Yechen swung around on his chair as a small smile appeared on his face.

Even if she didn't love him yet, he wanted to give her his all. . .
