Chapter 413: I’ve Deeply Offended My Girlfriend

Gu Mang stood up straight and placed the glass of water on the table. She put her hands in her pocket and looked at him as she smiled. “Stop taking liberties with me. We aren’t close.”

Not being angry was one thing but whether they could get past this matter was another.

Lu Chengzhou’s eyelids trembled when he saw her smile. He curled his fingers and turned the chair around to face himself before looking at her. “Aren’t you tired from standing? Sit down and speak.”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and sat down. When she leaned back in the chair, she appeared more like a big boss than earlier. It appeared like she had had enough fun and wanted to settle old scores now.

Lu Chengzhou felt tense. He thought for a moment and took out all the chocolates that he had in his jacket pocket. There were five in total.

He passed them to her. “There’s only one left on the table.”

Gu Mang’s hands were still in her pocket. She curled her lips and said, “Stop trying to butter me up. We’re not close.”

Even chocolates did not work.

Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips and placed the chocolates on the table. After a few seconds of silence, he squatted in front of her. Gu Mang’s gaze followed him as she looked down at him.

Lu Chengzhou lifted his eyes and looked at her face as he said softly, “Did I get into trouble? I’ve deeply offended my girlfriend.”

“What do you think?” Gu Mang smiled coldly.

He lowered his head and he said in a hoarse voice, “It’s my fault. Don’t smile at me like that. I can’t complain if you hit or scold me as long as you don’t kill me.”

Gu Mang narrowed her eyes and said slowly, “Stop trying to act pitiful. I was a lot more pitiful back then.”

Thinking back to when Gu Mang was in the Enforcement Hall, Lu Chengzhou froze.

He really regretted it.

He had no idea how she survived for more than ten days in the Enforcement Hall. Having been so badly injured, she must have been in a lot of pain.

After a moment of silence, he said, “I’ve thought about that time a lot on my way back to Red Flame. Even if I had known it was you three years ago, I would still have done it.”

However, if he had known it was her, things would not have turned out like this. Sometimes, he was glad that he had not gone to the Enforcement Hall three years ago. She had not known him back then and he hadn’t known her either.

He had no idea how he should admit his mistake in this matter. He did not have the foresight to know that they would be together three years later.

Gu Mang had expected this. Red Flame was influential and its big boss was known to be ruthless. If not it would be impossible to command others. However, his actions had simply made her unhappy. Therefore, she was not going to be reasonable today.

She wanted to beat him up.

Lu Chengzhou continued, “I’m not a psychopath. I won’t fall in love with an underage girl.”

His only goal was to get Silence to become Red Flame’s instructor. He was not interested in Silence’s gender or age.

Gu Mang said with a straight face, “When you seduced me, I was only seventeen years-old.”

Lu Chengzhou was silent.

Gu Mang tutted and narrowed her eyes. “Why are you pretending to be an upright gentleman?”

Lu Chengzhou suddenly felt guilty. He avoided her gaze before continuing, “You’re grown up now.”

Gu Mang did not reply.

“Can’t you give me another chance?” Lu Chengzhou looked at her and asked softly, “It’s my fault but give me a chance to make it up to you, alright?”

Gu Mang still said nothing. She was not intending to let this matter pass by but she had no idea how to settle the score. She would have taken action at the villa had he fallen for the trap.

She remained expressionless so Lu Chengzhou would have no idea what she was thinking about. His heart was palpitating. “I’m really in the wrong. Why not beat me up first to release your anger?”

Gu Mang still did not speak as she continued to stare at him. She was pondering how she should deal with him.

Lu Chengzhou found himself at a loss as he focused his gaze on her. “Gu Mang, it’s fine if you want me killed but can you please say something?”
