Chapter 12 I Am Here

• “Who I like has nothing to do with you, so I don't have to explain anything to you.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.
• Su Wanning looked at Bai Rong with hatred in her eyes and said aggressively, “So, you're Gu Mingchen's girlfriend? Do you think you deserve that title?”
• Gu Mingchen pulled Bai Rong into his arms and said softly, “Ignore her.”
• Su Wanning was so irritated that she grabbed Bai Rong's hand strongly, hurting her wrist a little. “I asked you a question! Are you his girlfriend?!”
• Bai Rong kept quiet as she analyzed their relationship.
• “Su Wanning!” Gu Mingchen pulled his 'girlfriend' behind him and said coldly, “You're hurting my girlfriend.”
• Su Wanning ignored him and shouted at Bai Rong again, “Are you his girlfriend?! Why won't you speak?! Are you a mute or something? This man is not yours! How could you be so shameless?!”
• “I'm afraid you're the shameless one.” Bai Rong said coldly.
• Hearing that, Su Wanning had a murderous look in her eyes, “Right now, you are nothing more than a clown to me. How much did Gu Mingchen pay you? I'll pay you ten times more. Now disappear!”
• “Don't you think you're the clown here? Only a foolish woman would chase after a relationship. A smart one would have some dignity.” Bai Rong said.
• Su Wanning reached out to slap Bai Rong on the face. But Gu Mingchen was faster and grabbed her arm. The look in his eyes grew colder as he warned her, “Don't go too far.”
• “Am I the one going too far? You're my fiancé, but you brought another woman here!” Su Wanning was trembling from anger, “Having to deal with Zhou Hailan is bad enough. Don't push my limits any further.”
• “I've never acknowledged you as my fiancée.” Gu Mingchen gave her a stern look, “If you dare to do what you did with Jenny to her, I will not let you go.”
• The atmosphere was so tense that it was as if the air had frozen.
• “Alright, alright, stop fighting.” Su Junhao walked over and pulled his sister's hand over, “Stop it, sister. You're not technically his fiancée after all.”
• Su Wanning brushed her brother's hand off and stared at Gu Mingchen with reddened eyes, “Do you dare kiss her then? I'll believe she's your girlfriend if you kiss her!”
• Gu Mingchen went silent.
• Su Wanning scoffed, “You can't do it huh? Gu Mingchen, I'm the only one worthy of being with you in this world! Stop trying to run away!”
• Gu Mingchen snorted at her, and turned to face Bai Rong.
• The strange look in his eyes startled her, and she subconsciously took a step back.
• He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her passionately.
• A wave of electricity surged through their lips.
• Bai Rong's eyes widened in surprise, and she was stunned for a moment.
• He'd taken this act too far now.
• She pursed her lips to stop him from entering. But his slender fingers dug into her bun and pressed against her neck, forcing her to raise her head. The woman couldn't do anything than let him pry her mouth open with his tongue.
• His warm scent penetrated her mouth and nose. That made her heart race.
• She didn't like to kiss a stranger that she had no feelings for, so she pushed him.
• But the more she resisted, the wilder his kiss was. His tongue went from gently licking hers to wrapping around hers.
• His breath fell heavily on her face as his kiss went deeper.
• Bai Rong recalled the man from three years ago. He had also forced his way into her like that.
• Each thrust hit her spirit again and again until it was eventually shattered, and she was sore for a few days.
• Bai Rong was trembling as she smacked him on the back, so Gu Mingchen had no choice but to let go of her rosy lips.
• She looked at him defensively, and was about to give him a slap on the face.
• But... She had promised to pretend to be his girlfriend. Hitting him would just ruin the act.
• Her defensive behavior piqued his interest in her even more.
• Couldn't stand to watch at the couple anymore, Su Wanning clenched her fists as she walked to the bar and poured herself a drink. The jealousy was driving her crazy.
• Su Junhao let out a sigh as he comforted his sister, “Just give up. There are plenty of good men in the world.”
• “But none of them are Gu Mingchen.” Su Wanning said stubbornly and bottomed up her glass.
• Holding two bottles in her hands, she glared at Bai Rong with jealousy and shouted, “Hey, that woman over there! Do you have the guts to drink with me?!”
• Being shouted at, Bai Rong looked towards Su Wanning's direction.
• “I'll drink for her!” Gu Mingchen said in disgust.
• Su Wanning smashed a bottle of beer on the ground as she lost control over her emotions, “Stay out of this! This is a battle between us! I now declare war against her! Gu Mingchen, I will say it once more. You are mine!”
• Bai Rong felt a slight pain in her heart as she looked at Su Wanning acting so crazily.
• Are all women the same, and would feel heartache if they couldn't get the man they love?
• Was hurting themselves the only way to release that pain?
• She was in a bad mood too.
• Because of her mother, herself, and especially Su Xuyan.
• “Alright, I'll drink with you.” Bai Rong said gently and walked towards Su Wanning.
• Shocked that Bai Rong dared accept her challenge, Su Wanning smiled in disdain. Hahaha~ I'm a deep drinker. Bit*h, you're doomed.
• “If you lose, you will dance naked here to help liven up the party. If you can't do it, then give me back my man.” Su Wanning said viciously.
• “And if you lose?” Bai Rong asked calmly with sympathy in her eyes.
• Maybe Su Wanning didn't understand that marrying a guy who didn't love you was purgatory itself.
• She had gone through that herself.
• “I won't lose.” Su Wanning said arrogantly.
• “If you lose, just let yourself go. Run to the deck and shout, Gu Mingchen, I don't love you anymore! Can you?” Bai Rong said softly with a smile.
• If she didn't love Su Xuyan, she could ignore him fooling around with other women; If she didn't love Su Xuyan, she wouldn't have been hurt like this.
• She hoped she could've stopped loving him sooner. That way, she wouldn't be hurting so much despite having kept her dignity.
• “Alright then. I'll give you a chance! We'll see who finishes three bottles of beer the fastest!” Su Wanning said.
• Bai Rong picked up the bottle and was about to drink it when Gu Mingchen grabbed her hand suddenly.
• He gave her a concerned look as he said, “Don't do it!”
• But she gave him a smile instead.
• “Even if I'm drunk, you'll be at my side, right?” Bai Rong said softly.
• Her trust in him startled him.
• Staring deeply into her eyes, Gu Mingchen let go of her hand.
• “I'll be here.” He promised.
• Bai Rong raised the bottle and chugged away. One bottle after another.
• Some of the beer spilled onto her shirt as she couldn't swallow it in time, but the pain in her heart was still the same.
• Bai Rong put the empty bottle down after finishing all three. As she wiped the beer from her mouth, she saw the three empty bottles on Su Wanning's table and let out a sad smile.
• “I lost.” She admitted defeat.
