Moving On from the Tsundere, I Choose the Perfect Sweetheart

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Gu Yifan: Yes, I already have a fiancée

Gu Yifan’s declaration, ”I have a wife,” left everyone in the room petrified.

This was especially true for Sun Lingming, who was so shocked he sputtered inelegantly.

’Gu Yifan is already married?!?’

’How come I’ve never heard Sisi mention this?’

He was completely dumbfounded.

”GASP...”

After a long moment, someone gasped and muttered to themselves, ”He just started his freshman year and he’s already married?! That’s fucking impossible!!”

”Yeah!”

”He’s only a freshman, and a handsome guy like him is already married?!”

a girl exclaimed, her face a mask of shock.

”I have a feeling something isn’t right here!”

”This... couldn’t be an excuse Gu Yifan made up to reject Han School Beauty, could it?!”

...

another guy piped up, his expression full of doubt.

For a moment, the venue was filled with rampant speculation.

After all, he’d only just started his freshman year. To be married already was a complete bombshell, something that was hard to believe.

Han Ning seemed to have thought of this as well.

When it came to knowing Gu Yifan, few people knew him better than she did. It hadn’t been that long since they’d last seen each other; how could he possibly be married!

Besides, Gu Yifan wasn’t even of legal marriage age!

Therefore, this was all just a lie Gu Yifan made up to fool her.

”You really don’t have to be like this!”

The more Han Ning thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Her eyes reddened as she looked at Gu Yifan with a pitiable, aggrieved expression. ”If you want to reject me, you don’t have to use such a ridiculous excuse to brush me off!”

That pitiful, wronged look of hers made all the beasts in the audience ache with sympathy.

”Han School Beauty!!”

”If he doesn’t want you, I want you!”

”What about me?!”

”I know I’m not as handsome as him!”

”But I have a heart that will cherish you!!”

a guy from the audience shouted up at the stage.

”WHOA...”

”OOH...”

”HOLY SHIT!!”

”BADASS!!!”

”The anniversary gala just turned into a massive dating show!!”

”Han School Beauty! Say yes!”

”Say yes!”

”Say yes!!”

”Say yes!!!”

The crowd below started to roar, everyone shouting in unison!

The sound echoed throughout the entire auditorium!

Seeing his chance, the guy who had just shouted stood up, looking at Han Ning in the center of the stage with a confident and earnest expression.

Gu Yifan: ”...”

Han Ning: ”...”

On stage, Han Ning was also dumbfounded by this sudden interruption. She stared blankly at the guy in the audience.

”Goddess Han! I’m serious!”

The guy spoke with a sincere and hopeful expression, ”From the first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love. Please, give me a chance!”

”Uh... this...”

Han Ning snapped back to her senses and casually glanced at the guy in the crowd below.

The guy in the audience was just over 1.7 meters tall, with choppy hair and slightly tanned skin. His face gave off a sense of being old before his time.

’If I had to rate his looks, he’d be around a 60, barely passing. What a confident yet average upperclassman!’

”Han Ning, my junior, I’m not kidding. I’m serious, please give me a chance!”

Seeing Han Ning remain silent, the guy summoned his courage and spoke again.

At his words, Han Ning’s delicate little brows furrowed even tighter. A flash of disgust crossed her eyes before she replied with a deadpan expression, ”Sorry, senior. You look too old...”

The guy: ”...”

”PFFT~”

”HAHAHA...”

”’You look too old...’”

”Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!!”

”HOLY FUCK!!!”

”That’s way too real!”

”Hahaha...”

”+1”

”But, to be fair!”

”This bro really does look like he was in a hurry to get old!”

”If I were a girl, I’d choose Classmate Gu on stage too!”

a guy spouted nonsense with a completely straight face.

”Hahaha...”

”Hey, bro, don’t be sad!”

”This world is cruel!”

...

The crowd below chimed in one after another.

Meanwhile, the upperclassman’s face turned beet red from Han Ning’s and the crowd’s comments. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into on the spot!

But alas, the ladies weren’t having it.

Embarrassment was written all over his face; for a moment, he was at a complete loss for what to do!

On stage, Han Ning seemed to realize her words had been a bit harsh, so she spoke again. ”I’m sorry, senior. I’m a pretty straightforward person, I hope you don’t mind.”

”Uh...”

”It’s... it’s fine, junior.”

”Heh heh heh...”

The guy gave an awkward chuckle, then sheepishly sat back down.

No doubt about it, after tonight!

He would absolutely be the top headline on the Jinling University forums!

Seeing the upperclassman back down, Han Ning’s gaze shifted back to Gu Yifan.

She stared at Gu Yifan with a burning intensity, waiting for his answer.

Gu Yifan felt a little helpless under her fiery gaze and could only shake his head.

He thought for a moment and decided to use this opportunity to completely get rid of Han Ning’s advances and make her give up for good. So he said, ”Han Ning, I’m sorry! I really do have a wife!”

Han Ning didn’t believe him. She looked at him and said coolly, ”You have a wife? How come I don’t know about it?”

Seeing her stubborn refusal to give up, Gu Yifan said again, ”Oh, to be precise, a fiancée! And she’s someone you know! I don’t think I need to say more, do I?”

Seeing that Gu Yifan didn’t seem to be joking, the expression on Han Ning’s face froze.

But she still shook her head in disbelief. ”No, that’s not it... Yifan, you’re joking with me, right?”

”No, I’m not joking!”

Gu Yifan said calmly, ”If you don’t believe me, I can call her up here right now, and you can ask her to her face!”

Hearing this, Han Ning’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

She found it incredibly hard to believe. So little time had passed, yet Gu Yifan was already engaged to Su Qinghe.

And for something so major, she hadn’t heard a single whisper about it.

For a moment, she just couldn’t accept it.

Gu Yifan saw her reaction and knew she was about half-convinced. He decided to add more fuel to the fire and completely sever the emotional entanglement between them that had spanned two lifetimes.

’Though this might seem a little cruel to Han Ning!’

’But!’

’It’s for her own good, and mine!’

’A clean break is the best kind!’

Gu Yifan stepped forward, took the microphone from Han Ning’s hand, and slowly addressed the crowd below. ”I’d like to take this opportunity to tell everyone something. Yes, I already have a fiancée!”

”WHOA~”

...

Gu Yifan’s words once again sent the audience into an uproar.
