Cannot Explain Clearly

With her body curled up and tightly holding onto the blanket, Ye Chu heard Gu Muchen’s words and immediately lifted her head, loudly defending herself, “It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!”

“Not you?”

Gu Muchen suddenly stood up and walked to the bedside, towering over Ye Chu and staring into her eyes with a powerful sense of oppression. Despite her stubbornness, Ye Chu still shrank into the blanket but continued to meet his gaze. “It really wasn’t me!”

Ye Chu looked up at Gu Muchen, denying it firmly once again.

At this moment, Ye Chu’s face was pale, and her emotions were chaotic. She didn’t know how she had become involved with Gu Muchen again, even though she had deliberately tried to stay away from him.

“Then why were you in my room?”

Gu Muchen lowered his eyes, looking down at her from above with deep, dark eyes that were unfathomable.

“It’s because…”

Ye Chu was about to explain, but her words were interrupted by Gu Muchen.

“Last time at Ye’s house, you deliberately let that woman trip you, didn’t you?”

Ye Chu was stunned. She didn’t expect Gu Muchen to figure it out!

That day, the housekeeper, Yang, asked her to bring coffee to Gu Muchen. She didn’t know what Yang’s intentions were, but she knew that if Ye Shiyun saw her “getting close” to Gu Muchen again, she would use her mother’s safety to threaten her.

So when she found out that Xiaoling had deliberately tripped her, she pretended not to see it and just stepped over it, but she still ended up falling very awkwardly.

But what she didn’t expect was that Gu Muchen would speak up for her that day. She thought he just couldn’t stand it, but now she knew that he had already seen through her but didn’t expose her.

“Can’t explain?” Gu Muchen’s cold tone carried a hint of disappointment. “From the first time we met, when you deliberately bumped into me, to pretending to fall and act pitiful in front of me, to deliberately attracting my attention during the speech, and now directly drugging me in my room!”

“Ye Chu, do you think that by doing this, I will look at you more? Do you think I will take responsibility for sleeping with any woman?”

Gu Muchen’s eyes became even colder.

He reached out and pinched Ye Chu’s chin, lifting her head high.

Then he leaned over and spoke in a chilling voice in her ear, “I'm not your first, am I?”

Gu Muchen’s words were like a sharp sword stabbing into Ye Chu’s heart.

She couldn’t help but tremble, and her whole body felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She held onto the blanket tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.

She was forced to look up at him with her chin pinched, opening and closing her lips several times.

Finally, all her grievances and injustices turned into a helpless smile.

“Since Mr. Gu knows everything, you should know that a woman like me has no bottom line in life. Since I have been exposed by you, I have nothing to say. Why not let me go? I promise not to appear in front of you again, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Muchen had originally thought that Ye Chu would defend herself, but he didn’t expect her to admit it directly.

It turned out that she was really like the rumors outside, shameless and unscrupulous, willing to do anything to achieve her goals, without any bottom line!

With these thoughts in mind, Gu Muchen felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Ye Chu’s chin, causing her to furrow her brows in pain.

Her pitiful appearance would have surely triggered a man’s protective instincts if he didn’t know her true nature.

The more Gu Muchen thought about it, the angrier he became.

He forcefully pushed Ye Chu away and walked towards the door with a dark expression on his face.

Ye Chu tightly wrapped herself in the blanket and suddenly heard Gu Muchen’s cold voice from the door.

“Stay away from Gu Leheng. He’s not someone you can daydream about!”

Then, there was a loud bang as the door closed.

Ye Chu curled up even tighter in the blanket, but her body still felt cold.

The chill seemed to be coming from within, making her shiver uncontrollably.

At that moment, Ye Chu’s phone rang again.

It was a nurse from the hospital, asking when she would be able to come over.

The nurse said that her mother had been shouting and disturbing other patients and their families since last night, and the hospital had received many complaints.

Although the nurse’s tone was gentle, Ye Chu could tell that the hospital wanted her to transfer her mother to another hospital or pay for a VIP single room.

“I’ll be there soon.”

Ye Chu wiped her face and stumbled into the bathroom to clean herself up.

She put on the same pink spaghetti strap dress from yesterday and hurriedly pushed open the door to leave the room.

As soon as Ye Chu stepped out, she saw a man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle appearance standing at the door.

He smiled slightly at her in a professional manner and said, “Miss Ye, hello.”

Unexpectedly, there was someone at the door, which startled Ye Chu. She took a step back and asked, “Who are you?”

The man looked at the woman in front of him and noticed the marks on her skin outside her dress, showing how intense their night was.

He had rushed over yesterday after receiving a call from Gu Shao but couldn’t get the door open.

Fortunately, Gu Shao’s room was in a blind spot for surveillance, making it easier to handle.

“I’m Gu Shao’s assistant, and he asked me to give this to you, Miss Ye.”

The man handed Ye Chu a box of medicine with the words Yuting written on it.

“Gu Shao said that one should always be aware of their identity,” the man said.

Ye Chu stared at the box of medicine and, without hesitation, turned around and went back into her room to get a glass of water.

In front of the man, she took the birth control pill and said, “Please thank Gu Shao for me. He saved me the cost of a box of medicine.”

Her voice was cold as she handed the empty box back to the man and left without saying another word.

In the spacious, brightly lit, low-key yet luxurious CEO’s office, Gu Muchen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a frown and a cold expression.

He didn’t expect Ye Chu, who appeared to be harmless and innocent, to have such deep thoughts and dare to plot against him.

As for what happened last night… he rarely lost control.

Ye Shiyun caused it that time, and also yesterday.

But what annoyed Gu Muchen the most was that when he held her, she felt really good, and at that moment, he even strongly wanted more.

Thinking that Ye Chu’s appearance last night was also seen by other men, Gu Muchen fiercely pinched out the cigarette between his fingertips in irritation.

“Mr. Gu.”

Ren Yi knocked on the office door and walked in.

“How is it?” Gu Muchen asked in a low, cold voice.

“It’s all done.” Ren Yi hesitated and put the empty medicine box on the desk. “This is what Miss Ye gave you. She said…”

Gu Muchen turned around by the window and stared coldly at the empty medicine box on the desk. “What did she say?”

“Miss Ye said thank you to Mr. Gu for saving her a box of medicine.”

As soon as Ren Yi finished speaking, he felt the air pressure around him drop sharply. Gu Muchen’s face turned dark, his eyes gloomy, and he gritted his teeth.

“Ye Chu… very good!”
