Chapter 77 Chu Xinglan is in trouble
"Who said I agreed to date you? I only allowed you to pursue me," Ye Xiaoxiao said anxiously.
"Isn't this the same thing?" Xue Bai grabbed Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
It's a success! Chu Xinglan smiled to herself.
A rich and handsome man is irresistibly charming.
When Ye's mother saw that her daughter had met a good man she liked, she was overjoyed.
"Mom, I'll come to see you often in the future." After Ye Xiaoxiao escorted her mother back to her ward, she held her mother's hand reluctantly.
"I'm fine now, don't worry about me. Just go out there and do your job and play as you please," Ye's mother said with a smile, glancing at Xue Bai. It was truly a case of a mother-in-law growing more and more fond of her son-in-law the more she looked at him.
"Mr. Xue, my daughter Xiaoxiao has a rather unpleasant personality. If she does anything wrong, please forgive her."
"Auntie, you can just call me Xue Bai from now on," Xue Bai said with a smile. He glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao and continued, "I also really like Xiaoxiao's personality."
"Who cares if you like me?" Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Xue Bai and said defiantly.
"You child..." Ye's mother was a little worried for Ye Xiaoxiao, not wanting her to drive away such a good son-in-law because she wasn't gentle enough.
"It's alright, Auntie," Xue Bai said with a smile. The more she acted like this, the more it showed that she cared about him; otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have paid any attention to her at all.
Hearing Xue Bai say this, Ye's mother felt relieved.
Xiaoxiao has really met a good man this time.
"Auntie, Xiaoxiao and I will come to see you again next time," Chu Xinglan said to Ye's mother.
"Okay." Mother Ye nodded repeatedly.
Xue Bai escorted Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao home.
Xue Bai's eyes seemed to be glued to Ye Xiaoxiao, unable to look away.
Caught in the middle, Chu Xinglan deliberately waved her hand in front of Xue Bai.
"What are you doing?" Xue Bai looked at Chu Xinglan in confusion.
"I thought someone could only see Xiaoxiao?" Chu Xinglan joked.
"We've arrived, you can leave now." Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, so she deliberately spoke coldly to Xue Bai, and then tried to kick him out.
"Xiaoxiao...can I call you?" Xue Bai asked cheekily.
"Whatever." After saying this, Ye Xiaoxiao slammed the door shut.
Chu Xinglan leaned against the wall, smiling as she ate her dog food.
"Stop laughing at me. So you're the eldest daughter of the Chu family. I thought you were just an ordinary person." Ye Xiaoxiao stood in front of Chu Xinglan with her hands on her hips, looking on with an air of accusation.
"That Xue Bai, that heartless guy who only cares about women, even told you this," Chu Xinglan said through gritted teeth.
"You're wrong, you're also of the opposite sex," Ye Xiaoxiao said with a cold snort.
"You forget your friends for the sake of beauty, you're inhuman!" Chu Xinglan cursed again.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care about any of that. Anyway, she wasn't being scolded by her. She continued to stand with her hands on her hips and asked with a grin, "Miss Chu, why did you give up your comfortable life as a rich heiress and come to work for Gu Ye? You said you weren't interested in Gu Ye, but it's obvious you're here for him."
"I really didn't, I didn't." Chu Xinglan felt like she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"Then tell me, why did you come to the Gu family?" Ye Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at all.
"I..." Chu Xinglan stopped abruptly, then said, "You're right, I did it for Gu Ye, is that alright?"
Chu Xinglan said as she walked inside.
"Admitted so quickly?" Ye Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised.
When Gu Ye returned home, he saw Xue Bai making a phone call with a smug grin on his face, completely oblivious to Gu Ye's arrival.
Gu Ye coughed lightly, but Xue Bai didn't hear it until Gu Ye came up to him and stood there for a while before he realized what was happening.
"Boss, you're back."
"Okay!" Gu Ye had just responded when Xue Bai continued his flirtatious chatter.
Gu Ye went back to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he found Xue Bai still on the phone.
He brewed himself a pot of tea, sat on the sofa and drank it, and continued chatting until he finished the pot.
"Are you annoying me? I'm hanging up." Ye Xiaoxiao shouted angrily into the phone, sounding impatient.
Is Xue Bai seriously ill? Less than an hour after they parted, he called her, asking nothing but pointless questions like, "Have you eaten?", "What are you doing?", and "Do you miss me?"
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. If she had known that her boyfriend would be this cheesy, she shouldn't have agreed to date him so quickly.
Chu Xinglan leaned against the doorway, watching Ye Xiaoxiao, who seemed untroubled on the surface but was secretly delighted, and shook her head.
She's such a silly girl who doesn't know how lucky she is.
"Xiaoxiao, go to sleep right away so you don't catch a cold. Make sure you're covered with a blanket..."
"I know, I'm not a child anymore, I'm really hanging up," Ye Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.
Xue Bai wanted to say something more, but Ye Xiaoxiao had already hung up. Xue Bai reluctantly put away his phone and only then did he really notice Gu Ye.
"Boss, your plan really worked! I didn't expect to win the beauty's heart so quickly." Xue Bai came up to Gu Ye with a fawning expression.
The boss is indeed a boss.
Gu Ye picked up the exquisite ceramic teacup.
Xue Bai was thirsty after talking on the phone for so long. When he saw Gu Ye pick up a teacup, he thought it was for him and quickly reached out to take it. But Gu Ye just circled the teacup in front of Xue Bai and then put it back to his own lips.
The boss is jealous and wants to get revenge.
Xue Bai had no choice but to go to the refrigerator and get a drink himself.
"Boss, with all your scheming, you've already won over your father-in-law and mother-in-law, so why haven't you gotten married yet?" Xue Bai asked curiously as he sat next to Gu Ye.
"My situation is a bit complicated." Gu Ye slowly put down his teacup.
"Complex? I think your situation is simpler, isn't it? Both of you are like this." Xue Bai made a very lewd gesture.
Gu Ye gave him a cold look.
Xue Bai quickly composed himself.
The boss is really angry this time.
"Boss, if I told you that I ran into Xinglan at the hospital, would you feel any better?" Xue Bai asked cautiously.
For his own safety, he pushed Chu Xinglan out of the way only to protect himself.
Upon hearing Xue Bai's words, Gu Ye stood up and walked out without saying a word.
Judging from Gu Ye's posture, he was probably going to confront Chu Xinglan.
Xue Bai suddenly felt a sense of self-reproach.
I'm sorry, Xinglan, but now I have no choice but to sacrifice you.
As Gu Ye walked into the elevator, he took out his phone.
"Hello!" Chu Xinglan answered the phone.
"Come out for a second!"
Chu Xinglan turned her head and looked out the window.
"It's too late. We can talk about it at work tomorrow." Chu Xinglan hung up the phone unhappily.
"Who called?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Gu Ye!"
Why did he call you?
"I don't know, it's inexplicable!" Chu Xinglan shook her head, too lazy to care about him.
