Chapter 78 They were scared away
A short while later, the phone rang again; it was Gu Ye calling again.
"Gu Ye, what are you doing?" Chu Xinglan asked unhappily.
"Come out for a moment," Gu Ye said, repeating the same phrase.
"I told you, it's too late, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Are you going to come out on your own, or should I come and drag you out?" Gu Ye reverted to his domineering CEO mode.
“You…” Chu Xinglan gritted her teeth.
Well, it's too late for a grown man to barge into the home of two women.
Chu Xinglan reluctantly picked up a coat, put it on, and went out.
"Tsk tsk tsk, going out for a rendezvous so late at night!" Ye Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Go to hell!" Chu Xinglan stormed out the door.
When Chu Xinglan went out, she saw Gu Ye standing at her door.
"Gu Ye, what are you doing? Why did you make me come out so late?"
Chu Xinglan flew into a rage at Gu Ye the moment she saw him.
"You went out this afternoon?" Gu Ye asked, staring at her.
Chu Xinglan was instantly drained of all her energy.
"No, no!" she said guiltily.
Seeing Chu Xinglan's insincere words, Gu Ye simply smiled good-naturedly and said, "Really not?"
Chu Xinglan thought about it and figured that Gu Ye probably asked the question just to test her. As long as she denied it, what could he do to her?
"Really!" Chu Xinglan nodded vigorously.
“But that’s not what Xue Bai told me.” Gu Ye took in Chu Xinglan’s reaction.
"Xue Bai?" Chu Xinglan suddenly felt incredibly foolish, having completely forgotten about Xue Bai, the spy.
"Hehe, Gu Ye, I'm not planning to cause trouble. I'm going to the hospital to visit a patient. You can't expect me not to visit the patient, can you?"
"You're quite good at making excuses." Gu Ye's face betrayed no emotion.
Chu Xinglan didn't dare to reply.
"Let's leave that aside for now, but you did something wrong and then lied. How do you explain that?" Gu Ye smiled cryptically.
"Ah, this..." I didn't expect him to be waiting for her here.
"How should I punish you?" Gu Ye suddenly took a step closer to her.
Chu Xinglan was so startled that she took a step back, and her back bumped against the wall.
Why did Gu Ye's voice suddenly become so damn gentle? Chu Xinglan felt her heart beating so fast.
She nervously pushed away Gu Ye, who was leaning towards her.
"Who am I to you? Why should I be punished for lying to you?"
"Lanlan, you're so heartless. Even now you're saying such cruel things. Do you really want me to rip my heart out and give it to you?"
Gu Ye suddenly pulled Chu Xinglan into his arms.
Chu Xinglan was stunned for a moment. She felt Gu Ye's strong heartbeat and felt inexplicably sorry for him. What was wrong with her?
"Gu Ye, I..." Chu Xinglan tried to break free from Gu Ye's embrace, but he held her even tighter.
"Xue Bai has already achieved enlightenment, when will we be able to blossom and bear fruit?"
Gu Ye pulled Chu Xinglan out of his arms, gently touching her cheek with his hand, his eyes bright and burning.
Chu Xinglan was flustered and hurriedly pushed Gu Ye away.
His charm was simply too great; just looking at her made her blush. If he did something outrageous, could she still resist?
"So you have conjunctivitis, you're jealous of Xue Bai!"
"You're right, I am envious. After all, he won the heart of a beauty, while I'm still all alone." Gu Ye's eyes were filled with sorrow.
"It's not as serious as you make it out to be, is it? You can do whatever you want to me, can't you?" Chu Xinglan said softly.
"So you want me to do something even more outrageous to you?" Gu Ye said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that," Chu Xinglan said anxiously.
"I've thought about it!" Gu Ye said, then took Chu Xinglan's hand and prepared to leave.
"Gu Ye, it's so late, where are you taking me?" Chu Xinglan asked anxiously.
"Go... to... a... hotel!" Gu Ye said, enunciating each word clearly.
"What?" Chu Xinglan hurriedly shook off Gu Ye's hand.
"Sorry, it's too late, I can't keep you company anymore. I'm going back to sleep, bye!"
As Chu Xinglan spoke, she backed away, almost falling because she was so excited. She fled in a panic.
Gu Ye leaned against the elevator, watching Chu Xinglan run away as if she had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but chuckle.
The little wildcat was indeed frightened away by his words; he really shouldn't have scared her like that.
Gu Ye shook his head, smiled slightly, and pressed the elevator button.
Was he really jealous of Xue Bai?
No, compared to Xue Bai, who could only relieve his longing over the phone, he preferred to go directly to her and flirt with her, watching her panic and blush – that was truly unforgettable.
"Good morning, Assistant Xue!"
Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao met again at the company entrance. Chu Xinglan was already used to this. They lived in the same neighborhood, so it was normal for them to run into each other. Moreover, these two men clearly calculated the time they left and deliberately pretended to bump into them each time.
"Xinglan, good morning." Assistant Xue immediately greeted Chu Xinglan. When he looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Xiaoxiao pretended to look at Gu Ye.
Xue Bai knew she didn't want others to know about their relationship, so he refrained from greeting her.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu!" Ye Xiaoxiao greeted Gu Ye naturally.
Gu Ye nodded in greeting, then glanced at Chu Xinglan without making a sound.
Chu Xinglan also pretended to stare at Xue Bai, ignoring him.
So, to outsiders, the relationship between these four people seemed somewhat delicate. This scene was witnessed by Sister Jin and her assistant, who happened to be at the company. They only saw the surface of the relationship but were unaware of the complex emotions between them.
Sister Jin and her assistant Xiao Lin stood at the door, looking at Chu Xinglan and the others walking with Gu Ye with some jealousy.
"Sister Jin, I didn't expect Ye Xiaoxiao to be so resourceful; she actually managed to hook up with Gu Ye." Xiao Lin said indignantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister Jin glared at Xiao Lin unhappily. "President Gu is not a man who judges people by their appearance. He values capable women."
As for why Ye Xiaoxiao stays by President Gu's side, it must be because of his business dealings with the Ye family, not because she really likes a woman like Ye Xiaoxiao who uses any means to seduce men.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment. Seeing Sister Jin's ugly expression, he didn't dare to offend her anymore and quickly echoed, "Yes, Sister Jin is right. Why would President Gu take a liking to her? The reason she can stay by President Gu's side is probably because of that secretary surnamed Chu. After all, she is Assistant Xue's girlfriend. Given Assistant Xue's relationship with President Gu, it's not difficult to arrange a woman to stay by President Gu's side."
Sister Jin felt a little better after hearing what Xiaolin said.
"Hmph, two vixens, let's see how long they can be so smug."
