"Secretary Chu? Isn't she Assistant Xue's girlfriend?" Sister Jin asked incredulously.
"Who said Lanlan is Xue Bai's girlfriend?" Gu Ye domineeringly pulled Chu Xinglan into his arms.
He had wanted to assert his sovereignty to the world in this way for a long time, and even though he could only do so to a small employee, it was still better than not being able to do so at all.
"I'm not fortunate enough to be with Miss Chu," Xue Bai shrugged.
Ye Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely.
Xue Bai claimed innocence, but had no choice but to back down.
"So, it wasn't Ye Xiaoxiao and President Gu all along, but Secretary Chu and President Gu?" Sister Jin only realized now that she had approached the wrong people.
"Xue Bai, take him to the police station. Intentional assault and attempted murder—these two charges are enough to put her in jail for life," Gu Ye gestured to Xue Bai.
Xue Bai nodded and led Sister Jin away.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Gu Ye and then at Chu Xinglan, and had no choice but to follow Xue Bai to escort Sister Jin to the police station.
Suddenly, only Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan were left in the house.
"You, you should go and take a look too." Chu Xinglan tried to shoo him away.
"They are enough, why should I go in person?" Gu Ye lowered his head and saw Chu Xinglan's shyness.
"Then I'll go rest." Because she didn't have crutches, Chu Xinglan could only slowly endure the pain and walk forward.
Gu Ye walked over, bent down, picked up Chu Xinglan, and carried her to the bedroom.
Chu Xinglan, nestled in Gu Ye's arms, became even more nervous, her fingers clenching tightly.
"Am I that scary?" Gu Ye asked softly.
"You practically have 'I'm a big bad wolf' written all over your face." Chu Xinglan bit her lip lightly.
Gu Ye stared at her, his blood surging.
Didn't she realize that her nervous little movements were a form of provocation? Luckily, his self-control was exceptionally strong, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to control himself.
"Would you, little white rabbit, be willing to please this big bad wolf?" Gu Ye teased her on purpose.
"I don't want to," Chu Xinglan said hastily.
Suddenly, Gu Ye placed her on the bed and pressed his body against hers.
Chu Xinglan was like a terrified little rabbit about to be eaten by a big bad wolf; she was so frightened that she turned completely pale.
Although Gu Ye really wanted to taste the white rabbit, he didn't want to scare her.
He affectionately tapped her snow-white forehead with his bent fingers.
"The big bad wolf would never force the little white rabbit. You can sleep peacefully. I'll be here watching over you."
Seeing that Gu Ye was really just sitting next to her, Chu Xinglan felt relieved, but she still couldn't sleep. She just stared at Gu Ye with her eyes open, and when her eyes met his, she would look away like a timid deer.
"Gu Ye..." Chu Xinglan called softly.
"Yes, I'm here!" Gu Ye replied softly.
"Don't be too good to me... it won't lead to anything," Chu Xinglan whispered.
"Don't you like me?" Gu Ye stared intently at Chu Xinglan.
"I like you, but I will never accept you, never!" Chu Xinglan stated her decision.
Even if her heart races for him, even if she loves him to the core, she will never want to be with him again. This is the only way she can think of to protect herself and her baby.
"Why?" Gu Ye saw her determination, and felt both sadness and heartache.
She clearly felt his love, and she clearly had him in her heart, so why didn't she want to be with him? He couldn't quite understand the girl in front of him.
"Gu Ye, you and I both know that Ye Xiaoxiao took the blame for me. The person Sister Jin wanted to harm was me." Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye with a heavy heart.
"Lanlan, this was an accident," Gu Ye said hurriedly.
“This is not an accident. Every woman who gets close to you is in mortal danger, Gu Ye. I want to live a few more years, so... I dare not get close to you.”
Gu Ye clenched his fists and clapped them loudly upon hearing Chu Xinglan's words.
"Gu Ye, don't be angry. It's not your fault, but it's because of you that someone is in danger." Chu Xinglan held Gu Ye's hands gently.
"I understand... I'll stay far away from you!" Gu Ye said, pulling his hand back, standing up with a cold expression, and turning to leave.
Chu Xinglan watched Gu Ye's retreating figure, feeling desolate.
Gu Ye opened the door and ran into Ye Xiaoxiao, who had just returned to get something.
"Mr. Gu?"
"Please take good care of her!" Gu Ye said this and left without looking back.
"Why did Gu Ye leave so quickly?" Ye Xiaoxiao wondered. She went to Chu Xinglan's room and asked curiously, "Xinglan, why did Gu Ye leave?"
"Isn't it normal for him to leave?" Chu Xinglan said calmly.
"No..." Ye Xiaoxiao noticed Chu Xinglan's pale face and became even more puzzled. "Did you two have a fight?"
"How could that be?" Chu Xinglan's tone remained calm and composed.
“That’s right. Gu Ye wouldn’t bear to get angry with you. You must have said something that hurt him. Xinglan, I didn’t want to interfere in your private affairs, but Gu Ye is really a good man. You can’t push him away because of a dream. What if Gu Ye really gives up on you one day? You won’t even have time to cry then,” Ye Xiaoxiao reminded her.
"Xiaoxiao, if it was just a dream, would I take it seriously?" Chu Xinglan smiled sadly.
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Xinglan with a puzzled expression.
Chu Xinglan pondered for a moment, then changed her tone and said, "Sister Jin is a case in point. Because she considered you someone Gu Ye cared about, she tried every means to hurt you and repeatedly tried to kill you. Do you still think this is just a dream?"
Ye Xiaoxiao fell silent upon hearing Chu Xinglan's words.
Indeed, it is very dangerous to be around Gu Ye.
"It's because Gu Ye is too perfect. So many women want to get close to him. Don't you think that being with someone like Gu Ye, even if he's like the sun and can burn you, would still be a happy thing? Otherwise, why would so many women be drawn to him? Even a woman like Sister Jin is bewitched and wants to become his woman."
Ye Xiaoxiao and Chu Xinglan had different ideas. If it were her, she would never give up such an excellent man because of external factors. Chu Xinglan was still too young.
"Enough about me. How's Sister Jin's situation going?" Chu Xinglan asked, looking at Ye Xiaoxiao.
“The police just came and took her away. I was originally going to grab a coat and go with them to give a statement, but when I came back I ran into Gu Ye.”
"Then you should go quickly," Chu Xinglan said hurriedly.
"No, Xue Bai is enough." Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled. "No matter what you said, Gu Ye still cares about you. Just now, he asked me to take good care of you, but he didn't look too good. It was like someone owed him something. Is it really okay for you to push him away like this?"
