Chapter: 3107
Right now, the performance is happening backstage. In Gu Qiuyi’s lounge, Chen Duoduo, with teary eyes, carefully helps her take off her wedding dress. She speaks with a heavy heart, saying, “Qiuyi, I really don’t understand. You wore a wedding dress at the concert, so why didn’t you mention Charlie Wade’s name?”
Chen Duoduo continues, a bit frustrated, “Honestly, you should have called him out in front of all those fans! You wore the wedding dress; you could have asked him on stage when he would marry you!”
Gu Qiuyi looks at her reflection in the mirror, gently removes her shiny diamond earrings, and replies with a smile, “You must have watched too many romantic dramas. Love and marriage can’t be forced. I don’t want to pressure him in front of everyone. People in the entertainment industry have done that, and it often ends in divorce.”
She then adds seriously, “Today is my first birthday celebration for Charlie Wade in many years. I didn’t want to use this moment to force him into marriage. I just wanted to share my feelings with him on my birthday. I’ve waited for three years, and if I suddenly call him out now, it would just create confusion.”
Chen Duoduo looks downcast and says, “But your confession today is huge! You’re stepping away from the entertainment industry, and you’ve sacrificed so much for him. What if he regrets not responding? What will you do then?”
Gu Qiuyi frowned and said, “If he can’t keep his promise after three years, I won’t blame him.”
“What?!” Chen Duoduo exclaimed, surprised. “You won’t blame him? Listen, Gu Qiuyi, if my Charlie Wade doesn’t keep his promise after three years, I’ll be the first to reject him! I’ll expose him online!”
Gu Qiuyi quickly replied, “Don’t say that! Charlie Wade’s family has been so kind to us. His father helped our family a lot, and he even saved my father’s life. Because of that, no matter what decision Charlie Wade makes, I will accept it.”
Chen Duoduo was anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. “Gu Qiuyi, how can you think like this? Yes, he has been kind to your family, but are you really in love with him? The video during the concert—doesn’t that show how much you’ve given him over the years? Just because he saved your father, does that mean he can let you down?”
Gu Qiuyi, growing impatient, said, “Okay, okay! You talk too much! Please help me get out of this wedding dress. I need to catch a flight later.”
Chen Duoduo asked quickly, “Are you leaving tonight?”
“Yes,” Gu Qiuyi replied. “The concert is over, and I don’t have anything else to do here. You can stay and help the executive team with the aftermath. I need to go back to Yanjing to prepare for the next concert.”
Chen Duoduo protested, “There’s no need to catch a flight so late. Just rest for the night and leave in the morning.”
She then added, a bit angrily, “You confessed your feelings so openly at the concert, but Charlie Wade—”
Gu Qiuyi went home right after the concert. “Don’t you want to stay one more day? Maybe he’ll explain things to you?” someone asked.
“No need,” Gu Qiuyi replied with a smile. “I’ve said everything I needed to. I just want Brother Charlie Wade to understand how I truly feel about him, and that’s enough for me.”
