The Long Chase For The President's Spouse

Chp. 97

"Are you afraid? Afraid of how people would judge?" It was the wee hours when Zhang Heng suddenly stopped the car in the middle of the road.

"..." Gu Zhun was still level headed and advised: "Drive the car to the side and I'll explain it to you."

After thinking about it, Zhang Heng felt that he was right. Even though not many cars would be passing by at night nor was there a traffic camera along this stretch, he still obediently parked the car where it was legal.

"Can you tell me now?

"... Yes."

Zhang Heng grabbed Gu Zhun's shoulders: "Why are you afraid? Is it because I am unable to give you a sense of security?"

"No." Gu Zhun shook his head to deny it.

Zhang Heng's eyes were slightly red. What was the exact reason?

Seven years ago, I met you. I liked you and it was the first time I realized that I like you. Regardless of whether you are a man or woman, I've never doubted this love. I persevered and kept persevering until I secretly hired you as my assistant and kept you by my side.

After experiencing so much along the way, could it be that you still don't understand my feelings?

My feelings wouldn't change just because of some gossip and criticism. That was because I love you deeply.

What about you?

"... Gu Zhun, I dared to bring you back to the Zhang family and asked for grandfather's consent, which means that I am not afraid of all this gossip."

Gu Zhun nodded his head. After pausing for a few seconds, he frowned and looked at Zhang Heng, whose eyes were still red: "I know, I am not afraid of gossip aimed at me. I am afraid of those gossip and criticisms that would be against you. You are a president. You need to pay attention to your image in public. I don't want to see people pointing their fingers behind your back."

Zhang Heng pulled Gu Zhun and embraced him: "I know that you are concerned and worried about me, but I am not afraid. Instead, I am worried about you."

Gu Zhun buried his head in Zhang Heng's chest: "Thank you."

"Promise me that you'll tell me no matter what happens. I will always be by your side and ready to listen."

"Yes, I know. Sorry, I tend to hesitate and keep things to myself.

"It's alright."

Perhaps, it was because he liked him for a long time so he understood the other party's temper really well. Seven years ago, it was uncertain, but Gu Zhun might have liked this playful, young boy? Seven years later, Gu Zhun realized his feelings for Zhang Heng while they were working together. Their feelings allowed them to better understand each other.

Subsequently, Zhang Heng had to ponder about how to propose. What if Gu Zhun didn't like being proposed to? After all, a proposal was just a formality. As long as two people were sincere about being together and their hearts were one, what was there to be afraid of? Why would they need to fear that there wasn't any proof of formal and superficial guarantees?

However, he still wanted to ask for Sister Gu Li's opinion regarding this. After all, she was the one who understood Gu Zhun best.

"Sister Gu Li, do you think that I need to do things like marriage proposal?"

"Why would you think about it?"

"It's because previously... I talked to Gu Zhun and discussed about getting married. However, he switched the topic and I'm unsure if he did it on purpose..."
