CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 348: THE SCANDALOUS MALE LEAD

Yu Zheng clenched his fist, "You Lifen, don’t force me to hit a woman!"

Gong Xiaoyu couldn’t hear what they were saying, but she could roughly guess without listening.

You Lifen’s appearance actually made her breathe a sigh of relief, they almost kissed just now.

She still couldn’t let go, and she was somewhat grateful for You Lifen’s interruption.

She got out of the car and said to Yu Zheng, "I’m going in first. Yu Zheng, drive carefully on your way back."

Yu Zheng wanted to walk her to her building, "Xiao Yu, wait for me."

You Lifen grabbed his arm and wouldn’t let go. Yu Zheng watched as Gong Xiaoyu walked into the community, not paying attention to their struggle.

Why could she be so calm, not worried at all about him being flirtatious with someone else?

You Lifen saw Yu Zheng staring at Gong Xiaoyu’s back and pierced his fantasy, "No woman can tolerate her fiancé entangling with another woman. Gong Xiaoyu can. Why? Because she doesn’t love you!"

You Lifen’s words made Yu Zheng furious. He shook off her hand, "Even if she doesn’t love me, I will still marry her. It has nothing to do with you."

"Why do you insist on being so pathetic, looking for someone who doesn’t love you? You know I like you, so why can’t you accept me?"

Yu Zheng sneered, "Do you know what love is? I don’t have time to play with you. Stop bothering me."

He turned around and got into the car. You Lifen quickly followed him, "Of course I know what love is. Everyone used to call me ’Penny Dreadful Princess.’ Now I don’t even bother to accept any gigs. I just try to run into you at the Gu Family, ask Secretary Wang all about your preferences, and can’t eat if I don’t see you for a day. Isn’t that enough?"

Yu Zheng’s hand rested on the car window as he coldly said, "Get out."

You Lifen burst into tears, "I’ve given up my entire career for you, publicly admitted our relationship to the media, causing the whole company to bear the consequences of my actions. My dad will kill me when he returns home, and you still treat me like this. I don’t want to live anymore!"

Yu Zheng’s face remained indifferent, "Women who constantly threaten life and death are the ones I hate the most."

You Lifen stopped crying and wiped her tears with a tissue, "Fine, I won’t cry. Just take me home."

Yu Zheng got out of the car. You Lifen followed him, "Where are you going? Don’t leave me!" Would he abandon his car just to escape from her?

Overcome with sorrow, You Lifen never had a relationship before. She didn’t know liking someone could be so agonizing.

She had been groomed as a child star with family resources and support, enjoyed a smooth career, and even had some fame in the United States after studying there. She was used to being pursued and praised. Her brother once told her that with her looks and condition, no man was out of her reach.

But why doesn’t Yu Zheng like her?

Her father hoped she would marry President Gu. She didn’t have anyone she liked before, and considering that marrying President Gu could help the family’s company, she brazenly went to Gu’s Headquarters to find Gu Yikun. She never expected to fall for Yu Zheng.

She didn’t consider whether her father would be satisfied with Yu Zheng, she only knew she didn’t want to miss out on him.

She’s done many things for Yu Zheng, completely ignoring the company’s constraints. But the current situation was far from what her brother described.

Yu Zheng had no interest in her, even disliked her. She didn’t understand what was wrong with her that made him hate her so much.

You Lifen saw that Yu Zheng truly wanted to leave her there; she chased after him, "Yu Zheng, don’t leave me!"

Wearing high heels, she ran too quickly without watching out for small stones on the road, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

You Lifen protected her face as she hit the ground hard, tears of pain streaming down, yet Yu Zheng didn’t even look back at her.

The paparazzi in the distance seized the opportunity and took as many photos as they could. You Lifen couldn’t get up and cried out loud, "Yu Zheng, I want to kill you!"

The paparazzi were thrilled to have captured embarrassing photos of big star You Lifen, "We can finally report back with something solid. If we had nothing to submit again, I’d be out on the streets begging."

The other partner laughed, "You Lifen once kicked me. Who did she think she was? Turns out she’s just another starlet chasing after men. If I don’t bash her online until she’s black as coal, I’ll write my name backward!" After following You Lifen for days, they could finally get their revenge today!

Just as they packed up their gear, someone appeared in front of them.

The paparazzi looked up and were half-scared to death. Wasn’t this the male celebrity they were secretly photographing?

Yu Zheng stood before them, "Hand over the stuff."

The two pretended to be clueless, "What stuff?"

Yu Zheng didn’t waste words, he immediately punched them, sending them sprawling, unable to fight back as he grabbed their cameras and memory cards.

Yu Zheng was in a foul mood and didn’t hold back, destroying all the photos, "If I see you again, I’ll beat you again. Get lost!"

The two paparazzi were on the verge of tears, not only did their footage get destroyed, but they also took a beating. Would this count as a workplace injury?

You Lifen, still crying on the ground, heard the distant screams and wiped her tears, seeing Yu Zheng beating the paparazzi.

You Lifen immediately stopped crying. He hadn’t abandoned her and even got her photos back. What to do? She liked him even more now.

Feeling much better after beating up the paparazzi, Yu Zheng walked back and saw You Lifen with bruised knees and hands. He didn’t help her up but stood nearby, asking, "Can you still walk?"

You Lifen, afraid he’d find her troublesome, took off her high heels, stood up, and limped back to the car, "I can."

Watching her stubborn back, Yu Zheng convinced himself, fine, consider it a good deed for the day.

Gong Xiaoyu returned home and was about to sleep when she received a message from Yu Zheng, "Are you asleep? I’m back."

Gong Xiaoyu replied: I was just about to sleep. Did you send You Lifen home?

She asked casually, and then Yu Zheng called, "Xiao Yu, I need to clarify things with you. About You Lifen and me..."

Gong Xiaoyu said, "I know you’re just friends. Since she’s alone out there so late, it’s normal for you to send her home."

Yu Zheng sat by the window, asking, "Xiao Yu, do you trust me, or do you just not mind me interacting with other women?"

Gong Xiaoyu choked up. When she was with Yue Xiaoyang, she was very jealous of how kind he was to Zhang Miaoyan. Even when he handed Miao Yan a napkin, she felt he cared too much about Miao Yan.

Why didn’t she feel the same with Yu Zheng?

Gong Xiaoyu didn’t want to know the answer. She had no choice left. She had promised Yu Zheng she would marry him.

She said, "Some social interactions are unavoidable. Yu Zheng, I trust you."

Her words provided Yu Zheng some comfort, "It’s good that you trust me."

Gong Xiaoyu said good night.

Their conversations were always so calm and polite.

Yu Zheng was wondering when they could be like other couples. It seemed he needed to learn more from Zha Zhuoxin.

The president had also listened to Zha Zhuoxin’s advice and his relationship with his wife was getting better. He needed to study more.
