Chapter 605: Why Did He Call You Young Master Helian?
Yu Shiwei’s face was pale as she remained silent. However, she also noticed that Gu Qingjiu’s countenance wasn’t as good as she had imagined.
With her fists tightly clenched, she lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions.
Yet one could still clearly sense that she was somewhat… angry!
“Hur!”
He Niancheng let out a snicker, exuding an aura so dark that it gave one the shivers.
It was as though there were malevolent ghosts from hell baring their fangs behind him.
He Niancheng ultimately said nothing, merely ignoring Ye Huinan and leading Gu Qingjiu to the car.
Although Ye Huinan didn’t mind, when he saw how He Niancheng had disregarded him so blatantly, he couldn’t help but feel displeased. But recalling the atmosphere that wasn’t quite right between him and Gu Qingjiu earlier, his lips curled.
“I initially thought that younger sister of yours is someone special to him. Yet in the end, he didn’t even tell her about something so important.”
Yu Shiwei didn’t understand what he meant by this.
She merely agreed with a smile while digging her fingernails into her palms.
The physical pain she felt couldn’t even compare to the fury in her heart.
But she could only pretend everything was fine and obediently hooked her arm around his before getting into another car.
Gu Qingjiu climbed into the front passenger seat with a cold face but didn’t flare-up. She simply watched expressionlessly as He Niancheng buckled her seatbelt for her and asked calmly, “Why did he address you as Young Master Helian? Isn’t your name He Niancheng?”
These words made He Niancheng freeze in his actions.
As though he couldn’t even be bothered to deny it, he directly admitted to it. “My surname is Helian.”
His surname was Helian.
It was a simple reply.
Gu Qingjiu’s brows furrowed tightly. “Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
She had no words to describe her present feelings.
She didn’t understand why He Niancheng had to hide this from her when it was just a name.
Never mind the fact that he had hidden it from her. But what she cared more about was the fact that she had heard this surname from another person’s mouth.
That meant that perhaps many people knew that his surname was Helian, yet she—his girlfriend—didn’t know about it!
Gu Qingjiu was bound to feel displeased about this.
It was merely a surname. Why couldn’t he have told her?
He Niancheng said nothing, and the atmosphere turned even colder.
He drove out of the underground car park and only spoke in a low voice when the car got onto the main road. “I know I’m in the wrong where this matter is concerned. He Niancheng is the name I use in China. My real name is Helian Niancheng. From the start, I had been going around with the name He Niancheng.”
Gu Qingjiu tried to understand He Niancheng, but she couldn’t fathom the difference between these two names, which only differed by one word.
Her pleasant mood turned slightly sour, and all of a sudden, she had no idea what to say.
Angry?
Not particularly.
But it felt like there was a small prick in her throat that she couldn’t swallow, bringing her discomfort.
As a result, Gu Qingjiu didn’t know what she should say.
Reprimand him?
It seemed like she had no grounds for doing so too.
Hence, Gu Qingjiu fell silent.
He Nian Cheng…
Helian Niancheng…
His surname was very special, and it was rare even in China.
And he was from Penalan, not China, to begin with.
The surname Helian ought to be even rarer in Penalan, right?
Something suddenly occurred to her, but she didn’t show it in front of He Niancheng.
The man next to her also had his thin lips pursed, exuding a cold air. It seems like this young couple finally had their first conflict ever.
