Being bothered for an autograph was so annoying so Tang Lan chose to free herself from this promise through the simplest ans that she could think of.
'... We've been together for quite a while and after that, He Chen still courted fervently for a year. How can it be so easy to erase all his feelings for in just one and a half month? I simply don't believe it.'
Thinking of this and rembering that cold guy who kept brushing off her signals advances, she accidentally blurted out to her cousin's housemates that he was her boyfriend, claiming her past relationship with He Chen as their present. Although thrilled by her revelation, Tao Ping, the slightly fat girl, who had a brief episode of sadness, imdiately ca to her senses and then refused to acknowledge it without a proof.
Of course, there was a proof. A solid one at that. Unfortunately, their sole picture Tang Lan had not deleted from her phone's gallery was not enough to shut the fanatic up.
Headache got into Tang Lan as she rembered the woman pointing a finger and shouting at her, 'I don't believe it!!! That picture must be photoshopped! You yourself said earlier, the two of you are not from the sa departnt. How could you be his girlfriend?! No! I don't believe it!!!'
'... What's impossible about it? We're from the sa university.'
'So what? Even if you are indeed more beautiful and talented than , without bringing him to us, I won't believe that you are his girlfriend!!!'
As a perceptive girl, how could the cunning glint on that fatty's eyes escaped her notice? Then again, even if she did notice it, so what? In the end, she did fall for that simple provocation and sent that ssage. She told him to et up with her. Once he arrived, she'd make him sign and hand over the autograph himself.
Anyway, she simply doesn't believe He Chen wouldn't co. He was her symbol of vanity, the most persistent suitor and ex she ever had. Rembering all his efforts in the past two years, with the ti they spent as a couple included, she could feel her heart and ego floating up the skies.
No matter how won phrased and feign nonchalance, their suitors and the effort they put into winning their hearts would always be their invisible trophy. A symbol of superiority towards the other won.
Tang Lan, the frustrated female lead had her ego wounded badly by Gu Feng's little sister treatnt sister of hers so she wanted to uplift her mood a bit through He Chen. The woman didn't have any romantic thoughts toward him but it didn't stop her from thinking it would be okay to use him at tis like this. The staggering number of gifts, songs, love letters, and al invitations she received from the past made her forget He Chen was a human too, with pride and ego.
In her mind, he was only rebelling. That he was still head over heels for her.
'I'm sure he will co. I bet he's even anxious to co. After all, I also inford Aunt He...'
She took a deep breath and looked at the huge wall clock on her right side. It was now past 9 pm. She looked around stealthily for a while, marveling a bit at the luxurious interior of the Western restaurant where Jiang Rou, the other housemate, brought the three of them. She - Tang Lan, Tao Ping, and her cousin Tang Ya.
"Sis Rou, I didn't know you're frequenting such a nice place," her cousin exclaid to the freckled woman.
"Ya Ya, I'm not really frequently here. But that chubby friend of ours demanded we go to a high-class place to et her idol." Acting like she didn't care much, Jiang Rou indifferently replied.
Tang Lan observed her for so ti. 'Her voice and face suggest she's really bored and seemingly forced to co. But her eyes glead of... hope?'
What could make soone harbored hope. What could it be other than expectations? Tang Lan didn't know that it was just Jiang Rou dreaming of He Chen, Tang Lan's 'boyfriend', bringing his whole band to et with them. If that were to happen...
'Gosh, I may et him!!! My hubby, Su Xuefeng!!! Waahhhh! It's really a good idea to dress up and open my newly bought expensive make-up kit!'
Tang Lan was not aware the one she just observed was thinking of this. Her thoughts wandered again to Gu Feng.
'... Little sister, huh?' That's what Gu Feng told her this afternoon when she went to the station. That's also where she ran into her cousin who asked her the most troubleso favor ever.
Why was he pretending he didn't see how much she likes him?
Tang Lan was from a not so well-off family and had seen so much drama between her parents that she beca starved of love. This was the reason why when she fell in love with soone, she imdiately wanted them to be together, for that love to be reciprocated.
When this did not happen, though she didn't plan to give up, she also couldn't do anything against her wounded pride. All won wanted to feel wanted. When she was reminded of that person who selflessly made her feel this, her impulsiveness and montary anger for Gu Feng caused her to say that she was dating He Chen.
Tao Ping's impatient voice rang to drag her out of her thoughts. "Hey, Miss Famous Author Who Is Also Secretly Dating A Hot Celebrity, when is he coming?"
The female lead hid her nervousness and gave the woman seated opposite her a small smile, "In a few minutes. Don't be impatient, Sister Ping, he'll surely co."
"Really?" It beca very obvious how much Tao Ping idolized her ex. That high-pitched tone laced with undisguised happiness made Tang Lan feel uncomfortable.
'Look at this. She easily believed and even started checking herself out in her compact mirror.'
"Little Lan, when did you and him started dating? Is he the one you've been with two years ago?"
"Yeah," she curtly replied.
Tang Ya knitted her brows a bit, "I thought you and him broke up a year after. I rember you telling he couldn't make your heart flinch or cause you to have butterflies in your stomach. So you broke up with him."
The female lead felt annoyance. She hated being stared at with suspicion. "I'm not made of stone. He Chen courted for another year so I accepted him again."
Hearing the pride echoing from her voice as she narrated everything He Chen did for her, the three ladies believed her. Their hearts drowned in envy. Why couldn't they find soone like him who would deify them and sweep them off their feet to make them feel what a fulfilling love life was? Why was Tang Lan so lucky to have He Chen?
Tang Lan took in their jealousy-filled glances. Her ego had beco so bloated upon being mistaken for a celebrity's lover. She forgot it was her who repeatedly broke He Chen's heart and that she was supposed to be in love with Gu Feng, the male lead...
