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

Chapter 23 Mascot

Chu Xinglan sensed that Xue Bai was intentionally avoiding her question; it seemed that Shirley was someone they were most reluctant to talk about.

Even if Sherry did something that got her fired, it shouldn't be a taboo subject in the company. But Sherry seems to be a taboo subject in the company, and no one dares to mention her anymore. Chu Xinglan is becoming more and more curious about Sherry. She must find out more about her when she has the chance, and maybe she can find a way to get to the bottom of what she did wrong.

Chu Xinglan seemed to have found her direction, and her mood became excited, so she ate faster and faster.

Xue Bai shook his head as he watched Chu Xinglan devour her food.

It's true that different people have different fates. In name, Chu Xinglan and he are both Gu Ye's subordinates, but she receives all kinds of treatment, and he even has to serve her. This is the benefit of being openly favored by the boss.

"Alright, stop eating so many sweets." Gu Ye took the cake from her hand.

"No, I want to eat more." Chu Xinglan wasn't about to let go. She dodged the cake again and continued eating as if nothing had happened. "Even if you're the boss, you can't take away my freedom to eat, can you?"

Xue Bai, standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch anymore. These two were openly showing off their affection in front of him, a single guy.

"Hehe, boss, why don't I go out first? You two can take your time..."

Xue Bai prepared to make a run for it.

Gu Ye nodded.

Just as Xue Bai was about to leave, Chu Xinglan stopped him.

"Don't go! If you have to leave, we'll leave together."

Xue Bai had a look of utter despair on his face.

Grandma, I have no grudge against you, please don't harm me. We are completely innocent, and you're making it sound like we have something going on.

He was given a cold glare by the boss as soon as he appeared. If you keep talking nonsense, the boss will skin me alive.

"I have something to do, I'm running out of time." Xue Bai seemed possessed by a ghost, shook off Chu Xinglan's hand and ran out. Because he was running so fast, he accidentally bumped into the door frame. He awkwardly looked back at the two of them and then ran for his life.

"Why is Assistant Xue running? Is she in such a hurry?" Chu Xinglan asked, puzzled. She turned around and saw Gu Ye staring intently at her.

Chu Xinglan shrank back.

"Gu, Gu Ye, I'm just your subordinate. Don't have any other ideas." Chu Xinglan seemed afraid that he couldn't quell his impulse, so he added, "If you want women, just beckon them and a bunch of women will come rushing at you."

The light in Gu Ye's eyes did dim, but it did not disappear completely.

"What are you thinking about now? Do I look like a thirsty man to you?"

Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye carefully and realized that he didn't seem like the person she was looking for. She thought it might just be her imagination, but she felt it was too dangerous to be alone with Gu Ye.

"Hehe, Mr. Gu, I was overthinking it. I believe Mr. Gu is a gentleman." Chu Xinglan flattered him.

"Are you really... willing for me to be with another woman?" Just when Chu Xinglan thought she was safe, Gu Ye suddenly pulled her into a hug.

Chu Xinglan was startled.

"Gu Ye?"

"Tell me, do you really want me with other women?" Gu Ye's breathing became rapid.

Chu Xinglan glanced at the door and found it was locked.

Sure enough, her intuition was right; this guy…

When Chu Xinglan met Gu Ye's eagerly questioning gaze, her feelings became complicated.

Do you really want to see him with other women?

After all, they had been husband and wife for a few months. Although they didn't communicate much, she had thought about living a good life with him before she was killed. At that time, she also realized that she had unknowingly developed feelings for him. Even though she had rejected Gu Ye's marriage proposal after being reborn, she still had feelings for him. When asked this question, Chu Xinglan couldn't answer for a moment.

"So... Lanlan, you still have feelings for me, right?" Gu Ye's face lit up with joy when he saw her silence.

He leaned down to kiss Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan was so frightened that she quickly pushed him away.

"Gu Ye, I had no idea you were this kind of person!" Chu Xinglan said angrily.

"I'll have plenty of time for you to get to know me again later," Gu Ye said, picking Chu Xinglan up in his arms.

Chu Xinglan was terrified and struggled hastily.

"Gu Ye, don't do anything reckless, there are people watching here."

She felt something was wrong. Why did Xue Bai suddenly book a room for her? It turned out that it was all premeditated, and he wanted to devour her alive.

"Where is anyone?" Gu Ye chuckled softly, his fingers gently stroking her face. She was shy!

"There really are people watching," Chu Xinglan said decisively.

The baby is covering his eyes with his hands.

"There's another big baby here? That stinky daddy's trying to bully mommy again."

Seeing Chu Xinglan like this, Gu Ye couldn't help but chuckle. Of course, he wasn't that hungry; he was just trying to scare her.

This girl can tell such a lie with such sincerity just to keep him from touching her. Lanlan has really changed a lot. However, she is obviously happier and more optimistic now than in her previous life.

"Get up, come with me to a banquet later." Gu Ye released her.

Once free, Chu Xinglan quickly got out of bed, straightened her clothes, and just like Xue Bai had done, she slipped away and ran.

After Chu Xinglan left, Gu Ye loosened his tie and lay down on the bed helplessly.

To say he didn't want to would be a lie. He had been thirsty for love for two lifetimes, and now that his lover was right in front of him, how could he not feel any desire? But he didn't want to force her. Unless she was willing, he would never force her.

After the banquet, Chu Xinglan was so tired that she fell asleep in the car. When she woke up groggily, she found herself lying on Gu Ye's lap.

"what!"

Chu Xinglan screamed in fright.

Startled by Chu Xinglan's scream, Xue Bai, who was driving, lost his grip on the steering wheel and the car began to swerve.

"Miss Chu, I'm driving. If I suddenly scream, it could kill someone."

Chu Xinglan then realized that she was still in the car. Perhaps she wasn't sleeping comfortably, because she somehow ended up sleeping on Gu Ye's lap.

"I'm sorry, Assistant Xue." Chu Xinglan apologized repeatedly, then looked at Gu Ye and said apologetically, "How long have I been sleeping like this?"

"Not long after, I lost all feeling in my legs," Gu Ye said softly.

Chu Xinglan was filled with remorse. He had sacrificed so much, and she still mistakenly thought he had taken advantage of her. He deserved to die.

"Where are we going now?" Chu Xinglan asked, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"On the way back," Gu Ye continued, "you can continue sleeping. I'll have Xue Bai take you home directly. It's too late now. Rest at home tomorrow and don't come to work."

Xue Bai glanced at Gu Ye through the rearview mirror. So he knows how to care for others now? Why doesn't he care about himself, who has been working like a slave for him?

Chu Xinglan immediately closed her eyes, ready to continue sleeping, but then remembered something and jumped up in surprise, saying, "No, no, I can go back by myself."
