Chapter 27 Misunderstanding Her
Looking at Chu Xinglan's expression, Gu Ye knew that this girl was up to no good. However, he found her scheming quite amusing. He pretended not to know anything and, as she wished, picked up his water glass and took a sip, only to be instantly overwhelmed by the sweetness.
Gu Ye frowned. Was this girl trying to seduce him?
"How about it, boss? It's not bland anymore, is it?" Chu Xinglan smiled smugly.
"Hmm, not bad!" Gu Ye said indifferently.
"Just okay?" She had put in almost half a bottle of white sugar, and all he said was "just okay"?
Chu Xinglan walked out of Gu Ye's office with the water glass that Gu Ye had finished drinking from, her face full of confusion.
"What's wrong with the boss?" Chu Xinglan asked, pulling Xue Bai aside.
"What's wrong? You just got dumped!" Xue Bai shrugged.
Gu Ye broke up with his girlfriend? Or does he have one?
Chu Xinglan was extremely surprised.
She had always assumed that Gu Ye was single, as everyone knew, but she never imagined he actually had a girlfriend. So why did he break up with her? Was it because he found out about Gu Ye and her relationship? Was that why he gave up on such a wonderful person like Gu Ye?
Thinking about this, Chu Xinglan felt a silent pang of pain in her heart. It wasn't because Gu Ye had broken up with his girlfriend, but because she realized that Gu Ye had someone he liked before. So why was he willing to marry her? Just because they had a relationship, did he really care about such things?
After Xue Bai left, Chu Xinglan sat down at her workstation, feeling dejected.
Yang Yang saw that Chu Xinglan was sullen and assumed it was because she had been scolded by Gu Ye.
"Boss, I don't know what's going on, but today is the strictest we've ever been. Everyone's on edge. You need to be careful," Yang Yang kindly reminded Chu Xinglan.
"I'll be careful!" Chu Xinglan managed a weak smile.
Was Gu Ye's heartbreak related to Sherry's sudden resignation? In his past life, he felt that Sherry's gaze towards Gu Ye was strange; otherwise, Sherry wouldn't have become a taboo subject that no one in the company dared to mention for no reason.
The thought that Gu Ye had someone else in his heart made Chu Xinglan inexplicably feel very bad. Even at work, she was absent-minded, which made Gu Ye, who was sulking alone, even more confused.
"Come have lunch with me."
Gu Ye looked at Chu Xinglan, who was standing in front of him with her head down, and his tone softened considerably.
"I'm not in the mood." Chu Xinglan couldn't even express what was on her mind.
"..." Gu Ye.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" The little baby patted Chu Xinglan's face with his tiny hand.
Chu Xinglan lost interest in the cute little baby and just sighed, though she didn't know why she was sighing, but she just couldn't cheer up.
"This is a dinner appointment with clients, not a personal meal," Gu Ye said, his expression turning serious.
"Can I not go?" Chu Xinglan looked up, wanting to ask Gu Ye's opinion. She really wasn't in the mood, but if he still wanted her to accompany him, then she would have no choice but to comply.
Gu Ye carefully examined Chu Xinglan and saw that she was indeed somewhat listless, so he had no choice but not to force her.
"Never mind, I'll go by myself."
"Thank you, boss!" Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye with mixed feelings. Whether in her past life or this life, Gu Ye was a good man who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Unfortunately, she had let him down in her past life, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of her and caused her to suffer disaster. She never expected that besides her, there was someone else who had let Gu Ye down.
"Are you in a bad mood because of Xu Yang? Are you really living with him?" Although this was the fact that Gu Ye believed, he still wanted Chu Xinglan to tell him herself.
"What? I'm living with Xu Yang? Who said that?" Chu Xinglan was shocked. As the person involved, how could she not know?
"Don't you live with him?" Chu Xinglan's reaction surprised Gu Ye. Was she just making trouble for herself all along?
"Of course not, Xu Yang and I broke up a long time ago," Chu Xinglan quickly replied.
Gu Ye felt relieved when he heard Chu Xinglan say that; it turned out that she had misunderstood her.
"It's good that you broke up. That guy doesn't deserve you at all." Gu Ye couldn't suppress a smile.
Huh? Chu Xinglan thought she was seeing things. Was Gu Ye smiling? This man was more fickle than a woman. Just a moment ago, the sky was overcast, and now the sun was shining again.
Just as Chu Xinglan was feeling confused, Gu Ye walked over, reached out and touched her forehead, asking with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? You don't seem to have any energy."
Chu Xinglan inexplicably took a step back.
Was it just her imagination? Why did he seem like he'd turned back into the incredibly kind Gu Ye? He used to seem so cold and aloof, how could he have changed so suddenly?
"I'm fine!" Chu Xinglan said hurriedly. She couldn't very well tell him that she was upset because he had a girlfriend. Damn Gu Ye, why did he bother her if he already had a girlfriend?
Well, since she didn't come here because of Gu Ye anyway, she should try to find a breakthrough by getting close to Gu Ye and find the person who harmed her. So, it's best to keep her distance from Gu Ye as much as possible.
Perhaps it's due to lingering emotions from a past life, but she seems to have increasingly different feelings for Gu Ye now, which is very dangerous, extremely dangerous!
"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now." Chu Xinglan said, turning and walking out of Gu Ye's office with a calm yet disappointed expression.
Gu Ye watched Chu Xinglan's departing figure, wondering what was wrong with her. Perhaps his attitude that morning had frightened her. Damn it, how could he have misunderstood that she was living with Xu Yang?
Thinking of this, Gu Ye couldn't help but recall the person who had caused him to have this misunderstanding.
"Xue Bai, come here." Gu Ye dialed an internal phone number.
Xue Bai sensed something was wrong in Gu Ye's tone and cautiously approached him.
"Boss, did you need something from me?"
"Xue Bai!"
Gu Ye's icy tone gave Xue Bai a feeling that disaster was about to strike.
"boss?"
Xue Bai thought to himself, "I've been careful enough today and haven't done anything wrong, so why does my boss look like he's about to grind me to dust?"
"I'm giving you one day to find a house that satisfies me." Gu Ye's voice suddenly turned cold.
"Looking for a house?" Xue Bai was puzzled. "Boss, what do you need a house for?"
Is he tired of living in such a big villa? Does he want to find a house with a warm, welcoming atmosphere?
Rich people really do have a different idea every day.
Xue Bai secretly revealed an expression of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Stop talking nonsense, just go find him." Gu Ye glanced coldly at Xue Bai.
"Ideally, it should be close to the company, upscale, and luxurious."
Gu Ye stated his requirements for the house.
Xue Bai felt that he didn't seem to be experiencing life, but rather wanted to keep a mistress in a luxurious house. But wouldn't his villa be a better place to hide someone? Why bother looking for another house nearby?
Xue Bai thought so, but he knew that Gu Ye was deeply in love with Chu Xinglan, and even if he was a Tibetan, he would only be a Tibetan of the beautiful and delicate Miss Chu.
