Good news: I’ve been “confessed to” by Gu Yanci, the top CEO in Shanghai’s elite circle!
Bad news: There’s something wrong with his brain. He thinks I’ve been secretly in love with him for years, when all I wanted was to buy a cake.
Even worse: His group chat with his buddies says he’ll pay me ten million yuan to get lost.
I’m thrilled! For the sake of that ten million, I begin my “make him hate me” performance.
I think constantly checking up on him will annoy him, but he just looks at me dotingly. “You’re so possessive, little thing. I like it.”
I think acting like a gold digger will disgust him, but he buys out an entire luxury store. “Finally figured out how to spend my money? This is how you show you love me!”
I think getting his mother to set him up on dates will make him angry, but he’s delighted. “You even got my mom on board! If you want to get married, just say so!”
Me: (eyes shaking) Wait, why does that ten million keep getting farther away?!
Finally, I can’t take it anymore. I show him a photo of himself with the woman he’s always loved. “We’re done! Give me ten million and get lost, now!”
At last, he’s stunned.
Then the whole internet finds out: Gu Yanci, the ruthless CEO, has won the award for the year’s most spectacular case of mistaking one-sided love for mutual feelings.
