A beam of headlights shone over!
Immediately, the car door opened, and a pair of slender legs stepped out first!
The man was tall and straight, walking with an air of nobility and a powerful aura.
“Damn it! Can’t you see we’re busy here? Get lost if you have nothing to do!” The thug pressing down on Ye Chu was annoyed by the interruption and cursed loudly.
Gu Muchen’s gaze fell on the woman lying on the ground, and his brows furrowed. “Clean her up.”
“Yes.”
Ah Cheng stretched his muscles excitedly and said to the group of thugs, “I hope you can take a beating!”
Gu Muchen looked at the woman lying in the back seat of the car, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
He never cared about anyone, but tonight, he made an exception to save this woman of unknown origin.
Was it because she also had that red birthmark on her waist?
Gu Muchen thought, his gaze unconsciously shifting to the woman’s waist, but her lying position made it impossible to see her lower back. All he could see were her long legs.
Gu Muchen took off his suit and threw it over her, covering her legs, then slammed the car door shut.
Shortly after sending the woman to the hospital, Ah Cheng also arrived. “Second Young Master, everything has been taken care of.”
Gu Muchen glanced at the woman, who was still unconscious, and the image of the red birthmark on her waist flashed through his mind again.
“You stay.”
“Yes,” Ah Cheng replied.
“What if she asks who saved her?”
“Just say it was you.”
After Gu Muchen finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze and walked away without looking back.
Ah Cheng watched as Gu Muchen left, feeling a bit puzzled. But since Second Young Master had said so, he would follow through.
Not long after Gu Muchen left, Ye Chu woke up. She opened her eyes and stared at the IV bag for a while before realizing she was in the hospital.
She propped herself up and saw that she was still wearing a suit jacket.
At that moment, the door to the ward opened, and a young man with delicate features walked in.
He was wearing a shirt and trousers, and Ye Chu assumed that the suit jacket on her belonged to him.
“You’re awake,” he said with a smile upon seeing Ye Chu sitting up in bed.
Ye Chu looked at the handsome young man in front of her and asked weakly, “Did you save me?”
Ah Cheng remembered what Second Young Master had told him and nodded naturally. “Yes, I did.”
When Ye Shiyun received a call from Renyi, informing her that she would be accompanying Gu Muchen to a charity auction, she was excited for a long time.
This was the first time Gu Muchen had taken the initiative to invite her to such a large-scale event.
Especially when Renyi delivered the evening gown that Gu Muchen had prepared for her to the Ye family, Ye Shiyun couldn’t stop smiling.
“Miss Ye, Mr. Gu said that you must wear the dress he prepared for you tomorrow at the charity auction,” Renyi said respectfully to Ye Shiyun.
“Don’t worry, I’ll dress up beautifully tomorrow,” Ye Shiyun said happily.
As Renyi turned to leave, she happened to see Ye Chu squatting in the garden, weeding, while Yang, the steward, stood beside her, cursing non-stop.
After walking away, Ye Shiyun couldn’t wait to open the gift box and took out the dress inside.
“Wow, this dress is really beautiful,” Yu Wanyue exclaimed, her eyes lighting up immediately.
“Of course! This is a super seasonal style, not something that just anyone can wear,” Ye Shiyun said, eager to put it on.
“Look at you, Shiyun, you look really beautiful!” Yu Wanyue looked Ye Shiyun up and down. “When Gu Muchen sees you tomorrow, his eyes will be glued to you!”
While helping Ye Shiyun tidy up her dress, Yu Wanyue asked, “Shiyun, you’ve been with Muchen for so long. Has he said anything about when he will propose to you?”
As soon as the topic of engagement was brought up, Ye Shiyun’s excited expression immediately disappeared.
“No!”
“No? What does Gu Muchen mean? Does he want to eat his cake and have it too?” Yu Wanyue immediately frowned.
“What can I do? I’ve mentioned it before,” Ye Shiyun said, pouting.
“Then find a way to make him marry you!” Yu Wanyue’s eyes glinted. “You know, if you have Gu’s bloodline, will Gu Muchen still not marry you?”
“I do want that, but it’s been so long, and he hasn’t even touched me,” Ye Shiyun said, feeling resentful.
The only opportunity she had to get close to Gu Muchen before was taken advantage of by that little slut Ye Chu.
If she hadn't been afraid of Gu Muchen noticing something was off, why would she have let someone else take her place?
Ye Shiyun turned in front of the mirror and suddenly noticed a hollow design at the waist of the dress, which was very beautiful and could completely highlight a woman's waist and curves.
This design was beautiful, but Ye Shiyun immediately realized a problem.
If she remembered correctly, Ye Chu had a birthmark on her waist.
If Gu Muchen had noticed that night, would he have suspected something when he saw her waist?
The thought made Ye Shiyun suddenly anxious, so she changed out of her dress and had someone call Ye Chu to her room.
"You wanted to see me?" Ye Chu walked into Ye Shiyun's room, expressionless.
"Ye Chu, do you have a red birthmark on your waist?" Ye Shiyun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Yes, why?" Ye Chu frowned, looking at Ye Shiyun warily, not knowing what she was up to.
"Take off your clothes and turn around, I want to see your birthmark!" Ye Shiyun commanded.
"Are you crazy, Ye Shiyun?" Ye Chu naturally refused.
"Ye Chu, Gu Muchen is my fiancé. I'm afraid he saw the birthmark on your waist that night. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, I need someone who looks exactly like you. That way, when we're intimate, he won't suspect anything. You understand what I'm saying, right?" Ye Shiyun hooked her lips and sneered at Ye Chu.
Of course, Ye Chu understood, and she had never thought about having anything to do with Gu Muchen.
But why did her chest suddenly feel heavy and stuffy when she heard Ye Shiyun say she wanted to be intimate with him?
"I understand."
Ye Chu turned around and lifted the hem of her shirt, revealing the red birthmark on her waist.

The next day, Ye Shiyun put on the evening gown that Gu Muchen had specially prepared for her, took his arm, and coquettishly said, "Muchen, thank you for the dress you gave me. I really like it."
Gu Muchen lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment.
Well, the dress looked good on Ye Shiyun, but it wasn't outstanding. It was just ordinary.
Finally, Gu Muchen's gaze fell on the hollow design at the waist.
Through the hollow, one could vaguely see a touch of red at Ye Shiyun's waist.
There was also a red birthmark on Ye Shiyun's waist.
It seemed that he had overthought it before.
"Let's go."
Gu Muchen took the initiative to extend his arm for Ye Shiyun to hook onto, even his voice was gentler than usual.
"If there's anything you like at today's charity auction, just tell me, and I'll give it to you as a gift."
"Really? Is it an engagement gift?"
Taking the opportunity, Ye Shiyun innocently mentioned the engagement.
Gu Muchen looked at Ye Shiyun and thought to himself that the engagement ceremony had indeed been delayed for a bit too long.
Once things were cleared up, it would be put on the agenda.
