I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 68: Getting Out of the Hospital
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
After Cheng Xin apologized, the Jing family went to toast to the other visitors. Mu Mingcheng did not know what strange medicine he had taken –he actually had a sincere desire to publicize his relationship with Gu Jin.
The banquet continued for another two hours. Gu Jin who was not used to wearing stilettos started to feel pain in his leg. He had no choice but to lean on Mu Mingcheng.
For the sake of his image, he pretended to hold on to Mu Mingcheng's arm, but in reality, half of his body weight was pushed towards him.
Mu Mingcheng, who helped prop up Gu Jin's posture, politely refused someone else's toast: “Sorry, but my girlfriend doesn't like the smell of wine to me.”
After which, he would look towards Gu Jin, who was leaning on his arm, then smile apologetically at him. Everyone who had eyes could clearly see how this arrogant man was helpless with the adhesiveness of his own girlfriend. He pampered and spoiled her in public.
Entrepreneur A: Is this a public display of affection?
Miss B: This will make many single dogs envious.
Gu Jin laughed timidly in front of the reactions of these people, as if the one appointed was not himself.
He endured his leg pain and straightened his posture.
But this does not change their perception.
From an outsider's point of view, someone like the famous Master Mu Mingcheng avoided women, now seemingly having fallen in love with an unknown woman.
Not only did he stay beside her, but he also seemed willing to listen to her advice. No matter whether men get married or not, they always boast of their image by boasting that their wife or boyfriend does not dare to control them. When they join their friends for food and drink, how could they personally acknowledge their fear of their wives?
Moreover, this was not Mu Mingcheng's wife. He's just a girlfriend who can be replaced at any time.

Shao Chong put on the clothes prepared by his subordinates and rushed to the banquet hall.
He sat in the passenger seat and urged the driver to go faster, while squeezing a small box in the palm of his hand.
This box contains a jade bracelet.
It was made of rare fine jade.
In her previous life, whenever she went to dinner several times with Gu Jin and Cheng Xin before marriage, she noticed that Gu Jin often stared at the jade bracelet on her cousin's wrist.
When the bewildered Shao Chong asked about it, he learned that he also used to have a jade bracelet that looked exactly like the one on Cheng Xin's wrist.
It was given to them by Mother Gu and Mother Cheng on their twentieth birthday.
Gu Jin accidentally lost his bracelet in his first year.
Shao Chong felt sorry for him back then, but after giving a few words of comfort, he no longer cared about him.
Since reminiscing about his wife's grief in their previous life, Shao Chong arranged for his subordinates to buy jade bracelets of the same quality.
He planned to hand over the bracelet after the banquet ended, then he would send it home.
Shao Chong never felt that time would pass so slowly.
As soon as the car arrived at the venue, Shao Chong inevitably fixed his hair in front of the rearview mirror of the car. After staying in the hospital for the past two days, her appearance seemed rather sickly, but she wanted to appear the most perfect in front of Gu Jin.
