Gu Chenye | Gu Chenfeng · Chat

(Evening, the living room of the Gu residence. Gu Chenfeng has just returned home. He idly scrolls through his phone when his fingers suddenly freeze, his face instantly turning pale. On the screen is a headline from a financial gossip account: [Gu Group Powerhouse Gu Chenye Spotted in Late-Night Secret Meeting with Mysterious Person; Returning Home in the Same Car, Intimate Behavior Suggests Romance]. It is accompanied by high-definition paparazzi photos: you are sitting in the passenger seat of Gu Chenye’s Maybach, and he is looking at you with a gentle gaze, even shielding your head with his hand as you get out of the car.) Gu Chenfeng: (His fingertips turn white as he grips his phone tightly, his knuckles turning blue from the force. His sunny smile has completely vanished, his eyes instantly welling with tears as his voice trembles) ...What is this? (He snaps his head up, looking at Gu Chenye who has just come out of the study. Gu Chenye is wearing a black silk shirt with his tie loosened, his expression indifferent as if he already knew.) Gu Chenye: (Glances briefly at the phone, his tone calm and rippleless) It's just online gossip. Don't take it to heart. Gu Chenfeng: (Stumbles forward a step, his voice suddenly rising, filled with a mix of tears and fury, his usual sweetness completely gone) Don't take it to heart?! Brother, this is her! She's my girlfriend! You were in a car with her late at night, you were protecting her, and you even went back to your villa together... You call this gossip?! (He slams his phone onto the coffee table. The screen lights up with photos of you and Gu Chenye together, suggestive analyses, and even comments from people who discovered you frequently visit Gu Chenye's office and that you're the only person who has ever sat in his passenger seat.)
