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

Chapter 153 This man is terrifying.

"Lanlan, I came here to tell you that I'm going abroad soon."

Shu Weiting pulled Chu Xinglan's hand back.

"So soon?" Although she had always known that Shu Weiting was hesitant to leave, Chu Xinglan was still somewhat reluctant to part with her.

In her previous life, after Shu Weiting went abroad, Chu Xinglan lost all contact with her and didn't know if she had ever come back to find him after her death.

Thinking of this, Chu Xinglan felt a pang of sadness.

"Quickly? If my visa hadn't been delayed, I would have gone abroad long ago." Shu Weiting smiled. "After I'm no longer in the country, you'll have to take good care of yourself."

"Yes, you will too." Chu Xinglan held Shu Weiting's hand tightly.

Gu Ye walked over and knocked on the door.

"Lanlan, let's go eat!"

The two, who were having a great time chatting, suddenly stopped talking.

Chu Xinglan took Shu Weiting's hand and walked out.

"let's go."

Gu Ye frowned as he watched Chu Xinglan link arms with Shu Weiting, leaving him aside.

Chu Xinglan, caught up in her joy, didn't notice anything amiss and continued to walk out hand in hand with Shu Weiting.

Shu Weiting hadn't noticed Gu Ye's displeasure until she turned around unintentionally and saw the cold look in Gu Ye's eyes. Only then did Shu Weiting realize that she seemed to be less popular.

"Tingting, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go!" Chu Xinglan, somewhat carefree, pulled Shu Weiting along and continued walking forward.

Ever since Shu Weiting saw Gu Ye's unfriendly gaze, she has become like a sensitive and suspicious person, constantly stealing glances at Gu Ye.

Even during meals, she was uneasy. She originally had a lot to say to Chu Xinglan, but because Gu Ye was present, she became taciturn.

At first, Chu Xinglan didn't notice anything unusual. Her mind was preoccupied with Shu Weiting's upcoming departure abroad. She wondered if they would ever see each other again after Shu Weiting left. Thinking about this made her feel bad, and because she became less talkative, she immediately sensed the oppressive atmosphere.

"Tingting, why are you so quiet? You used to be so talkative."

Chu Xinglan held Shu Weiting's hand and asked curiously.

"Is that so?" Shu Weiting took a sip of soup and laughed it off. "Maybe it's because I'm leaving soon, so I'm a little reluctant to go."

Shu Weiting smiled.

"I'm also reluctant to part with you." Chu Xinglan held Shu Weiting's hand even tighter.

Gu Ye stared at Chu Xinglan's hand, his handsome brows furrowing even more.

He wasn't the kind of man who would get jealous of a woman, but ever since Shu Weiting appeared, Chu Xinglan had stopped paying attention to him. Who could stand that?

Shu Weiting did not ignore Gu Ye's reaction.

She felt like a third party, about to be torn to pieces and reduced to ashes by the wife.

"Lanlan, I'm going to the restroom, do you want to come with me?" Shu Weiting made an excuse to talk to Chu Xinglan alone.

"I don't want to..."

Chu Xinglan didn't understand Shu Weiting's meaning until she saw Shu Weiting winking at her.

"Okay, let's go together."

Chu Xinglan stood up as she spoke, then looked at Gu Ye and smiled, saying, "Gu Ye, Tingting and I are going to the restroom."

Gu Ye naturally saw Shu Weiting winking at Chu Xinglan, but he didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Shu Weiting and Chu Xinglan went to the restroom, and only then did Shu Weiting dare to breathe heavily and speak loudly.

"Ugh, I'm about to suffocate!" For a carefree girl like her, not being able to speak normally for over an hour was worse than death.

Chu Xinglan blinked as she looked at Shu Weiting.

Are you afraid of Gu Ye?

"Weren't you afraid when you first met him?" Shu Weiting asked back.

Chu Xinglan recalled her interactions with Gu Ye and confidently shook her head: "I have never been afraid of her."

Shu Weiting stared at Chu Xinglan in disbelief. "Don't you feel the oppressive aura emanating from him? A terrifying presence that makes people afraid to approach."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Chu Xinglan didn't believe it.

Shu Weiting glanced at Chu Xinglan, who was smiling naturally, and shook her head.

No wonder Gu Ye likes her; she's truly exceptional.

“Actually, Gu Ye isn’t that scary. Once you spend more time with him, you’ll find that he’s a very easy person to talk to.” Chu Xinglan wanted to change Shu Weiting’s opinion of Gu Ye.

"I could believe you before I saw him in person, but now I can't agree. You don't know, when you held my hand, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill me." Shu Weiting said with lingering fear.

"How is this possible?" Chu Xinglan thought Shu Weiting was exaggerating.

Shu Weiting didn't want to believe it, but it was true. She looked at Chu Xinglan and grinned, "I didn't expect you to be so charming, Lanlan. Gu Ye cares about you so much that he's even jealous of women."

At this point, Shu Weiting couldn't help but feel a little envious of Chu Xinglan.

Not only did she catch the eye of Gu Ye, a top tycoon, but he also regarded her as a treasure.

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Chu Xinglan was half-convinced, yet she felt an indescribable happiness. If it were anyone else, being watched so closely by their partner would make them jealous and angry, even when talking to female friends. They would feel suffocated. But with Gu Ye, she only felt happy.

No wonder Gu Ye looked unhappy the whole time; he was jealous of his best friend.

"Oh, Lanlan, don't blame Gu Ye. I'll talk to him later. Don't be afraid, he won't really hurt you." Chu Xinglan quickly mediated between her boyfriend and best friend.

"You're not here to protect me, you're here to show off. You've tamed such a great demon king, haven't you?"

Shu Weiting laughed so hard she made Chu Xinglan laugh.

"I didn't, don't think that way about me," Chu Xinglan quickly clarified. "Alright, let's go out."

Chu Xinglan didn't want Gu Ye to wait too long.

"You're such a heartbreaker! You'd abandon me for a man and not care if I live or die." Shu Weiting pretended to be angry.

"It's not that serious. Just be yourself in front of Gu Ye."

Chu Xinglan patted her cheek and grinned as if to demonstrate.

"Get lost, your smile is really ugly." Shu Weiting slapped Chu Xinglan's hand with disgust all afternoon.

Chu Xinglan chuckled and walked out first.

The two returned to Gu Ye's side.

Shu Weiting composed herself, then smiled at Gu Ye and said, "Mr. Gu, please take good care of my friend for me."

"Taking care of her is my job."

"..." Shu Weiting!

"Eat your vegetables, eat your vegetables!" Chu Xinglan broke the deadlock.

"This tastes good." Shu Weiting pretended that Gu Ye wasn't there.

"Lanlan, eat more." Gu Ye picked up a piece of steak and placed it on Chu Xinglan's plate, successfully making his presence known.
