I Refuse to be a Supporting Character Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Sea of Flowers (1)

Gu Jin sat in the backseat while the driver escorted her to the party . On the way, she wondered if the perpetrator behind the shadows has been discovered .

The Literature Society’s last gathering was held at a KTV . Although there weren’t a lot of people, the atmosphere was very warm . The microphone was passed along several people, who sang songs that Gu Jin wasn’t familiar with .

Young men and women had endless energy, so even if Gu Jin couldn’t understand what they were singing, she would inevitably be infected by their enthusiasm .

After all, these people who shared the same boat will soon go off on their own separate ways .

Not wanting to be invited to sing, Gu Jin deliberately sat away at a corner .

“Would you like something to drink?” Tong Lin came up and handed her a bottle of juice .

“Thank you . ” Gu Jin accepted the bottle .

“I’m sorry about what happened before . ” Gu Jin twisted the bottle cap open but didn’t drink . For a moment, she felt tangled, but then she decided to make things clear to him: “My plans regarding the magazine company was out of my own whim . I’m afraid I might delay your career so it’s best to cancel our partnership . ”

After a pause, she added: “I just wanted to say, thank you for your invitation . ”

Since Gu Jin mentioned this topic on the phone a few days ago, Tong Lin wasn’t surprised .

“Don’t mind it, it’s your choice,” he said with an understanding smile . “But Gu Jin, I trust in your ability . If you don’t mind, I have a new proposal . I hope you can reconsider it . ”

“We can divide the magazine into two different departments . You and I are principle leaders in our respective fields . ” He looked at her gently and added, “You know, this will enhance our competitiveness . ”

Gu Jin lowered her gaze and gave it some thought . After a while, she apologized and said, “Please give me two days to think about it . ”

Tong Lin nodded .

After the party, Gu Jin declined Tong Lin’s offer to send her home .

She didn’t want to return to Mu Mingcheng’s villa, so she sent him a message saying she was staying at the school dorms tonight . Mu Mingcheng’s objection was ignored as she quickly closed her cell phone .

Af the other end of the line, Mu Mingcheng stared at the specially chosen clothes on the bed for a moment, then tossed the beeping cellphone aside .

It was dark by the time Gu Jin arrived at school . When Gu Jin approached the dormitory building, she saw a group of people crowded at the entrance .

Several girls excitedly gossipped, each of them saying the same topic:

“I’m so envious . ”

“It’s like straight out of a fairy tale . ”

“I wonder which woman was so lucky . ”

“If a handsome rich man does this for me, I’ll be ready to marry him anytime . ” One of the girls held her hands to her chest as she gazed up longingly .

“Stop daydreaming!” her companions teased her as they laughed .

Seeing the situation, Gu Jin felt more curious . She quickened her pace to have a better view of the lively scene .

She came near .

Just at the entrance of the dormitory building were red, luscious roses .

The dormitory entrance was adorned in a romantic sea of roses .

Interspersed within the sea of flowers were heart-shaped candles .

It can be seen that this was a setup for someone’s confession .

After seeing the display, Gu Jin sighed . No wonder these girls were so excited . A few years ago, when she used to be younger, she would have been thrilled if a man confessed to her like so .

Unfortunately, underneath her young exterior was a mature woman who had experienced social hardships; she has long forgotten her feelings when she was a teenager .

Now that she sees this kind of trick in wooing a girl, besides sighing about her past youth, there were no other fluctuations in her heart .

After sighing, she lifted her gaze, but her expression changed as soon as she looked up .

At the door, a handsome man walked through the red sea of flowers . He gently and affectionately stared at her figure within the crowd .
