The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 33 A Huge Misunderstanding

When Yang Yang saw Xue Bai giving Chu Xinglan dessert again, she said with envy, "I'm so envious. Assistant Xue is so good to you. If I had a boyfriend who is so loving and handsome, I would be content for the rest of my life."

"Assistant Xue is naturally beyond reproach, but whose boyfriend do you think he is?" Chu Xinglan asked in surprise.

"The facts are clear: everyone in the company knows about your relationship with Assistant Xue," Yang Yang said, assuming Chu Xinglan was just embarrassed to admit it. She teased her with a smile.

"What is my relationship with Assistant Xue?" Chu Xinglan felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.

"Assistant Xue sends you such expensive desserts every day. Isn't it because you two are dating? Otherwise, who would be willing to send you such expensive things again and again?" Yang Yang smiled at Chu Xinglan and lowered her voice, "Everyone in the company knows that you and Assistant Xue are dating."

"That is..." Chu Xinglan looked at Yang Yang's envious expression. Just because Xue Bai gave her dessert, such a big misunderstanding had arisen. If she told Yang Yang that Gu Ye actually bought these for her, wouldn't that cause an uproar at the company? So Chu Xinglan thought about it and swallowed her words.

"Don't be shy. You're so beautiful, it's understandable that Assistant Xue would take a liking to you. But when are you and Assistant Xue getting married? Don't do it secretly, and don't even share the wedding candy with us." Yang Yang had already imagined their sweet married life.

Chu Xinglan smiled awkwardly and said, "Assistant Xue and I are completely innocent. Don't talk nonsense. What if he has a girlfriend? That would be a big misunderstanding."

"You're still pretending at a time like this, Chu Xinglan. This isn't very interesting." Yang Yang became agitated when Chu Xinglan refused to admit it.

"I really wasn't pretending!" Chu Xinglan said innocently.

"I saw you two almost kiss that day, and you've been receiving gifts from him every day. How can you say you and Assistant Xue aren't a couple? Chu Xinglan, you're not trying to have your cake and eat it too, are you?" Yang Yang suddenly realized something and said unhappily, "Chu Xinglan, you're not deliberately using Assistant Xue to get close to the boss, are you?"

The more Yang Yang thought about this possibility, the angrier she became. She felt sorry for Assistant Xue. She never expected that Chu Xinglan, who seemed so innocent, was actually a green tea b*tch. She had misjudged her.

Seeing that Yang Yang's thoughts were getting more and more outrageous, Chu Xinglan knew that there was no point in explaining further, so she decided not to explain anymore.

"Yangyang, you're right. Assistant Xue and I are actually dating."

Chu Xinglan held Yang Yang's hand, looking shy.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

As luck would have it, just as Chu Xinglan said those words, Xue Bai and Gu Ye walked over and overheard everything Chu Xinglan said.

Xue Bai was startled.

How come he didn't know he was dating Chu Xinglan?

Gu Ye's expression also turned rather unpleasant.

Chu Xinglan was in a real bind, one problem after another. Gu Ye had overheard a casual remark she made, and now she had to explain herself again.

Seeing Gu Ye's expression, Yang Yang didn't think anything of it and timidly returned to her seat.

"You two... come with me!"

Chu Xinglan's head was buzzing; she was so tired. This time, she had no choice but to explain.

Xue Bai looked completely innocent. What had he done to deserve this? Why was he being dragged into this again?

"Tell me, when did you two start dating?" Gu Ye sat at his desk, arms crossed.

Is he blind? How could they possibly keep it from him and secretly carry out their plan?

"You believe that?" Chu Xinglan asked softly.

"Boss, I'm innocent! I had no idea I had a girlfriend, let alone... Miss Chu!" Xue Bai raised one hand; he was truly innocent!

Gu Ye ignored Xue Bai's complaints and instead looked at Chu Xinglan with a sharp gaze.

"Aren't you going to explain?"

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't made Assistant Xue give me sweets every day, the people in the company wouldn't have misunderstood my relationship with Assistant Xue. I had no choice but to admit it."

Chu Xinglan's voice trailed off as she spoke.

"So...it's none of my business, hehe!" Xue Bai chuckled dryly, but immediately stopped laughing when he was met with Gu Ye's cold glare.

"So, it was my fault?" Gu Ye's face remained stern.

"I didn't say you were wrong, it's just that this was a huge misunderstanding, so what I said just now was also a misunderstanding. Assistant Xue and I..."

Chu Xinglan walked over to Assistant Xue and stood next to him: "Do we look like a couple? We look more like sisters!"

"No, Miss Chu, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm... well, you know?" Xue Bai was speechless.

Gu Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

Fine, as long as the boss is happy, let him take whatever he wants.

Chu Xinglan's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Ye smile.

"So, boss, may I leave now?"

Gu Ye didn't speak, which meant he agreed.

Chu Xinglan quickly fled, not forgetting to say goodbye to Xue Bai before leaving: "See you later, sister."

“This little girl…” Xue Bai’s face turned ashen with anger. He turned to Gu Ye and complained, “Boss, you should at least keep an eye on your girlfriend.”

"Ahem!" Gu Ye coughed lightly and said casually, "She's not my girlfriend yet, so I can't control that."

"She's one of your subordinates, shouldn't you keep an eye on her?" Xue Bai changed his tune.

"Be her sister, or be her boyfriend, you choose!" Gu Ye raised his eyes, his expression suddenly turning stern.

Xue Bai was taken aback. Being her sister would only be an insult to his dignity, while being her boyfriend would be a death sentence. So... Xue Bai wisely chose the former.

"It's my honor to be sisters with Miss Chu!" Xue Bai said with a smile, but inwardly he was groaning: This is too much! Do you think it's easy for a mere errand boy like me?

Chu Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from Gu Ye's office.

Luckily, she was quick-witted, otherwise... wait, why was she so concerned about being misunderstood by Gu Ye? Why did she bother explaining? If she really wanted to distance herself from Gu Ye, wouldn't it have been better to avoid misunderstandings about her relationship with Xue Bai?

Just as Chu Xinglan was thinking this, Xue Bai suddenly sneezed, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's getting cold, wear more clothes, don't show off your muscular body!"

Gu Ye gave Xue Bai, who was sneezing, a cold look.

Xue Bai rubbed his nose with his fingers and stole a glance at Gu Ye.

Is he afraid his physique will attract Miss Chu's attention? If he's so capable, why doesn't he show off his perfect physique to seduce Miss Chu himself? Don't take it out on me!

"The boss is right, I'll go back and get a coat right away." Xue Bai was complaining in his heart, but he carefully smiled apologetically. He felt too suffocated around Gu Ye, so he just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
