Su Chen's answer was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
He didn't even bother to make excuses, he just admitted it...?!
………………
Chapter 429 Ningguang: How many women have you said the same thing to?
Su Chen was also very puzzled in his heart. He had such bad luck today.
I was clearly just passing by Yuehai Pavilion and visiting Ganyu, and it only took half an hour.
Ningguang has been busy with the reconstruction of the Qun Yu Pavilion recently, so how could she have happened to run into her?
However, facing the current situation, Su Chen chose to be honest, which was in line with his consistent principles. At the same time, he also believed that concealing and deceiving Ganyu was unfair to Ganyu.
Ningguang's response seemed unusually calm, even a little detached: "Is that so? Then it seems I have become a little redundant."
There wasn't much emotion in her voice, and she still had a warm smile on her face, but it all seemed like she did it deliberately, and behind it lay emotions that she was trying hard to control.
This indifferent attitude is actually Ningguang's way of maintaining her own dignity as a Tianquan star.
When she was facing her servants, she needed to maintain this calm attitude, even though she might be experiencing great ups and downs in her heart.
She was trying her best to control her emotions in order to maintain Tianquanxing's dignity in front of her subordinates.
Tianquanxing’s boyfriend, who was just officially announced not long ago, is actually having an affair with her secretary. Once this gets out, it will probably become a gossip that will shock the entire Teyvat, right?
Although her face remained calm, Ningguang's heart was in turmoil.
She could never have imagined that despite all her precautions, her home would be stolen by this harmless little coconut sheep beside her?
What made her even more confused was what on earth did Su Chen like about Ganyu? Why was he cheating on her behind her back when he already had her?
In terms of figure, appearance, wealth, and status in the entire Liyue, in what way is she, Tianquanxing, inferior to this coconut sheep?
But to be honest, Ganyu still has a huge advantage that is difficult for all women in Teyvat to achieve...
In this unexpected encounter, Ningguang pretended to be relaxed as she looked at the outline of Ganyu's chest, then inadvertently glanced down at herself.
There was a hint of teasing and self-mockery in her eyes, as if she was silently evaluating Su Chen's preference: "It's really unexpected. I didn't expect that he would prefer that type of women."
Her words were frivolous and slightly sarcastic. Although she seemed nonchalant on the surface, careful observers could easily detect the subtle emotional fluctuations beneath her disguise.
Just as Ningguang's heart was filled with ripples and she was immersed in her own messy thoughts, Su Chen suddenly took action, easily held her hand, led her into a room next door, and gently closed the door.
This series of actions was so fast and smooth that it gave people almost no time to react.
Although Ningguang was full of anger at the moment, when Su Chen gently took her hand, she unexpectedly did not resist at all.
This contradictory reaction not only reflects Su Chen's influence on her, but also hints at the soft feelings hidden under Ningguang's powerful appearance.
Even in her anger, her deep feelings for Su Chen made her choose to obey at this moment instead of directly rejecting or confronting him.
Click——
The crisp sound indicated that the door was gently closed, isolating the two people's world from the outside world.
At this moment, a hint of sharp insight flashed in Ningguang's eyes, and she could almost accurately predict what Su Chen was going to say next.
Despite this, she had already decided in her heart that no matter how Su Chen flattered her, she would no longer show any leniency.
The room fell into an awkward and long silence until Su Chen broke the silence again, his voice low and hesitant: "Ningguang."
Ningguang sat gracefully facing Su Chen, her legs crossed in cheongsam like two finely carved white jade pillars. She pursed her red lips, her expression revealing a kind of detached indifference, as if to indicate that she did not want to have any dialogue with Su Chen at the moment.
However, although she tried to remain calm and distant, her curiosity still made her heart wall loosen quietly, and she could not completely resist the urge to understand Su Chen's feelings.
"You just did it... with Ganyu?" Ningguang suddenly asked.
"......Yes." Su Chen nodded after thinking for a moment.
After receiving Su Chen's affirmative answer, Ningguang felt that the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
It's like your most treasured cabbage, which you put at home, but before you have the chance to savor it, it is secretly eaten by a little coconut sheep.
"If you have anything to say, please speak quickly. You know my time is very precious. I hope you can be brief and to the point."
Su Chen nodded.
"In fact, I did this just to give a good girl like Ganyu a home."
After hearing Su Chen's explanation, Ningguang almost dropped her jaw in shock.
Is this the 'explanation' Su Chen gave her?
Sensing the danger in Ningguang's eyes and the agitated rock elemental power in the air, Su Chen hurriedly said:
"In fact, it's not just you. Yuhengxing Keqing and your secretary Ganyu are all powerful people in Liyue. Because of their status, ordinary people would never dare to express their love to you."
After hearing what Su Chen said, the originally violent elemental force in the air suddenly calmed down.
Su Chen's words did contain some genuine self-mockery. After all, before meeting Su Chen, Ningguang had never really considered getting involved in love affairs between men and women.
Keqing of Yuhengxing also often warns solemnly that "falling in love will waste precious time and make countless important tasks impossible to complete."
As for Ganyu, there is no need to mention her. As a workaholic who has been lonely for more than three thousand years, her life is almost entirely filled with work. It is hard to imagine that any boy can tolerate a girlfriend who is immersed in work almost twenty-four hours a day.
As Ningguang's emotions gradually calmed down, Su Chen finally felt a sense of relief.
He let out a long breath, and the tension in his heart also eased: "Because of your special identities, it is indeed difficult to meet someone you truly love. This is also the reason why something like that happened between Ganyu and me."
As he spoke, Su Chen suddenly looked at Ning Guang with a deep and frank gaze. His eyes did not use any hypnotic power, but simply expressed his inner thoughts: "Please believe me, even if something like that happened, the person I love the most is still you."
These words seemed so sincere and touching. There was no exaggeration or falsehood in Su Chen's tone. There was only a deep love for Ningguang and a hint of self-mockery - after all, in his heart, he still had a special feeling for the "rich woman".
In a word, it can be summed up as follows…
Rich women still smell good!
Seeing that Ningguang's frown finally relaxed, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But you shouldn't have secretly had sex with Gan Yu outside of my knowledge. If I hadn't accidentally left the Jade Pavilion today, I wouldn't even know about it."
There was a hint of complaint in Ningguang's tone.
But this actually made Su Chen feel more at ease. The most frightening thing about getting along with women is that they keep everything in their hearts.
Anything that can be said is negotiable.
Su Chen suddenly came close to Ningguang and put his arms around her slender waist without any hesitation: "I'm just worried that you're not mentally prepared. I want to wait for a while and tell you when you're not so busy."
"No matter what, Ningguang, you will always be my favorite one!"
Su Chen's dark eyes looked extremely clear, and there was no hint of lies in his words.
In fact, she had already anticipated this day. After all, with Su Chen's ability to attract so many people, this was a matter of time.
Ningguang couldn't make her give up Su Chen after all.
Since I can't be the only one, it seems not bad to be the one Su Chen loves the most.
Moreover, those who compete with her are all figures like the Seven Stars of Liyue, and there are also Seven Star Secretaries. It is not a big loss to be the one Su Chen loves the most...
However, seeing how skilled he was, why did Ningguang always seem a little unconvinced?
"You don't say the same sweet words to every woman you meet, do you?"
Ningguang gently scolded Su Chen, her eyes revealing a hint of playfulness, and her tone was unexpectedly gentle, as if with a hint of coquettishness.
When this usually aloof Tianquanxing showed such a rare gentle feminine gesture in Su Chen's arms, Su Chen felt a strong excitement surge in his heart, and his heart seemed to beat even more violently.
"I do have sympathy for Ganyu and Keqing."
Su Chen's tone was firm, and then his eyes became affectionate and firm, as if he wanted to completely attract the woman in front of him, "But for you, Ningguang, my feelings are definitely not like this. I really like you."
"I know that with my current status, I may not be worthy of your glory for the time being."
Su Chen added with a hint of helplessness and seriousness, "But from the moment I first saw you, I firmly believed that this relationship between us was destined!"
Looking at Su Chen's eyes full of eagerness and sincerity, and even being able to feel his heartbeat quickening due to the surging emotions, Ningguang found that her body began to soften involuntarily.
Although she had experienced ups and downs in the business battlefield and always remained calm and rational, at this moment, her cheeks could not help but be stained with a faint blush, silently revealing her inner turmoil and emotional fluctuations.
………………
Chapter 430 A new way to play, do you want to try it?
No matter how strong she pretends to be on the outside, she is still just a woman at heart.
Su Chen wanted to explain something, but then he felt a soft touch on his lips, which felt like jelly, with a slight coolness.
The gentle breath sprayed on Su Chen's face, making him want to go further.
Outside the door, someone seemed to be approaching, breaking the charming atmosphere.
Ningguang gently pushed Su Chen away, her beautiful red eyes flickering slightly. The reproach from before had long since disappeared, and at this moment, a hint of shame inadvertently emerged.
"Master Ningguang, are you okay?"
Huixin could naturally feel the abnormality in the surrounding atmosphere.
If it were her, she would definitely be very angry if her boyfriend cheated on her with another woman.
However, Huixin was surprised to find that after coming out of the compartment, Lady Ningguang was not angry at all, but looked in a happy mood.
What did Su Chen say to Lady Ningguang?
Although she was full of doubts, this was not something she, a subordinate, should ask.
Ganyu's eyes were a little wandering at this time. She didn't dare to look directly into Ningguang's eyes. She hadn't figured out how to face Ningguang in the future.
Should we just pretend that nothing happened today and continue to get along as superiors and subordinates, or should we just accept the fact that we are both Su Chen's lovers...
Ganyu's mind was a little confused, and she could only look to Su Chen for help.
Before she could speak, Ningguang took her hand and said with a warm smile: "Ganyu, you don't have to blame yourself. Ganyu is also Su Chen's friend. I'm not that petty."
Friend...friend?
Ganyu didn't understand what Ningguang meant. She didn't realize that she wanted to remind her to keep a distance that ordinary friends should have.
Or...has she already agreed that she and Su Chen can continue to be together?
Although Ganyu has lived for more than three thousand years, she has never been in love. However, through observation and listening, she still understands some of the truths of love.
"Love is selfish" - she quite agrees with this truth.
Therefore, she was more inclined to believe that Ningguang's reminder was out of concern for friends to keep a distance.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a light meal at noon today, just to thank you for your hard work over the past month."
Ningguang's voice was calm yet contained a hint of unquestionable determination, as if this invitation was just a simple reward for work.
Eat...a light meal?
A complex emotion surged in Ganyu's heart.
She had just shared such an intimate moment with Su Chen, but the next moment she was caught red-handed by his real girlfriend, the noble Tianquanxing Ningguang in front of her.
However, Ningguang's attitude was surprisingly calm, as if nothing had happened, and she even generously invited her to have lunch together.
Although Ganyu really wanted to find an excuse to escape from this awkward atmosphere as soon as possible, facing a superior like Ningguang - the highly respected Tianquan Star in Liyue Harbor, she knew that she could not easily behave disrespectfully.
Her inner conflicts and struggles were vividly displayed through her hesitant look and subtle changes in expression.
……
The three of them walked slowly to a prestigious restaurant near Yuehai Pavilion. As soon as they stepped through the threshold, the owner of the restaurant came to greet them in person.
Such a warm reception made Su Chen secretly complain in his heart. Obviously, only Ningguang, who was known as the richest woman in Liyue, could enjoy such treatment.
He couldn't help but reflect, when would he see his boss show the same enthusiasm towards him?
As they arrived, the diners who were enjoying lunch around them looked up and greeted them. They seemed surprised and excited about the arrival of Tianquanxing Ningguang.
But when their eyes fell on Su Chen, the boyfriend who was rumored to be a 'gigolo', they couldn't help but whisper among themselves:
"Is that Lady Ningguang's boyfriend? I heard that he is not a local, but a traveler from another place. He looks really young!"
Another diner commented with dissatisfaction and envy: "It really makes people envious and jealous. How lucky is this brother to fall in love with a beautiful and wealthy lady like Ningguang."
Someone else self-deprecatingly joined the discussion: "Oh, I just don't understand why a handsome man like me has been single for 30 years!"
Despite the whispers and discussions around them, the three pretended nothing had happened, chose to ignore the voices behind them, and continued their lunch journey.
