Chapter 35: Adultery 02

01 is almost like a screaming chicken. The whole ball is either stretched up and down or flattened left and right, and it is all distorted.

Gu Rong apologized without any psychological burden: [Alas, this is my first time drawing cards, so I'm not very experienced.]

01 gasped and whimpered.

Gu Rong felt guilty after hearing this.

It’s okay. Next time this kind of “accident” happens, you will be able to remain calm and get used to it.

【Well, it's okay. This isn't the host's fault.】

01 rubbed his body vigorously with his small handkerchief, then pulled out a pen and a notebook from somewhere and began to write down: [This is my negligence. I'll make a note of it. Next time, you'll know that I should be the one to handle it. I can't push everything onto the host... Encoding the world of HGX. 01 stood by and watched, causing the host to lose his abilities...]

Between feeling sorry for 01 and repenting for himself, Gu Rong chose to ask 01: [Code for World HGX?]

This immediately reminded Gu Rong of the time when he first arrived in the first world, when 01 also mentioned the code of that world.

Coded NH world?

What do these two sets of codes mean?

01You probably don’t know, so it’s pointless to ask.

But unexpectedly, 01 actually raised his little tush: [I know, I know! It's a specific code. Every world the host goes to will have this code!]

Gu Rong's eyes flickered: "Oh, really? Then what other codes are there?"

01 scratched his chubby body: [You’ll find out in each world you visit.]

Gu Rong: Okay, I don’t know about this again.

He didn't ask any further questions, but Gu Rong memorized the two sets of codes in his heart.

at the same time--

"Are you going to remain silent forever, Gu Rong?"

Gu Yanchen sat behind his desk, looking at him sternly. "If you don't have anything to say, keep reading until you have something to say."

Since being called to the office, Gu Rong has been sitting here for a long time.

This was Gu Yanchen's way of intimidating him, making him keep watching the Ye family and Ye Shiyu's apology and clarification videos on repeat, because it would be his turn next.

But certainly not in this way.

After all, family disgrace should not be made public.

However, the result that awaits Gu Rong will probably not be much better.

Ever since he joined the company, Gu Rong has always been thinking about climbing up the ladder.

But Gu Yanchen is always looming over his head. He wants to do better and be more outstanding than Gu Yanchen, and wants everyone to know that he is better and more capable than Gu Yanchen. He wants to prove himself madly... But now, this matter has been exposed, and he is about to face the situation of being dealt with by Gu Yanchen. Even if he does not apologize publicly, Gu Rong will definitely be extremely embarrassed.

This kind of mentality is indeed consistent with the series of subsequent actions in the action guide to completely break off relations with Gu Yanchen.

But... now Gu Yanchen has the ability to read minds.

Moreover, Gu Rongke had long known that he and Gu Yanchen were not blood brothers at all.

Fortunately, a trace of the communication card's mental power still lingered on Gu Yanchen, enough to identify him as the target of Gu Yanchen's mind reading. After completing this task and ensuring that everything was correct, Gu Rong slowly spoke, "I did talk to Ye Shiyu privately and discussed something with him."

He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he didn't feel he had done anything wrong.

Gu Rong even glanced at the projection screen again: "The relationship between the Gu family and the Ye family has reached a freezing point now, right? Then, I guess there is no possibility for you and Miss Ye Wanqing?"

"Don't thank me too much, brother."

Gu Rong leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. "Anyway, I don't think you have any interest in Miss Ye. It's just that the elders around you are pushing you, so it's hard to refuse. Now it's good. I guess the Ye family won't let Ye Wanqing have any contact with you anymore."

Having said that, he changed the subject: "But if you need it, big brother, I can shamelessly contact Ye Wanqing for you."

The memory of this body was that Gu Rong was afraid that Gu Yanchen and Ye Wanqing would join forces. He also contacted Ye Wanqing, but Ye Wanqing was very rude to him.

For this reason, Gu Rong became even more dissatisfied with Gu Yanchen.

He wanted to get Gu Yanchen involved with the Ye family's illegitimate daughter so that he could have the opportunity to slip in between Ye Wanqing and Gu Yanchen.

Of course, there were only rumors of ambiguity between the two of them, but in the eyes of others, they were a well-matched couple. However, Gu Rong knew that a man like Gu Yanchen had no such thoughts about Ye Wanqing. It was just that Gu Yanchen was a little old-fashioned in some aspects, and compared to Ye Wanqing's initiative, he was actually quite gentlemanly.

However, although Ye Wanqing was proactive, she also knew how to advance and retreat appropriately, and was not offensive to people when approaching her, so it was impossible for Gu Yanchen to humiliate her directly.

But Gu Rong felt that it was really hypocritical.

If you don't have that intention, then don't block other people's way.

He, Gu Yanchen, does not need the help of the Ye family, but he does.

The above is the mental journey when taking care of the body.

And now:

[It would be best if that woman never had the chance to touch you again.]

Gu Yanchen frowned and stared at Gu Rong's mouth.

What did Gu Rong say just now?

Why does it feel like he didn’t open his mouth in the last sentence?

But apart from anything else, from "Miss Ye Wanqing" to calling her by her name, and then to the three words "woman", Gu Yanchen couldn't help but frown: "Where is your upbringing? Is this how your family teaches you to speak?" And this meaningless attitude! It really made Gu Yanchen's face suddenly gloomy, becoming even uglier.

"You're damaging my reputation to prevent me and Ye Wanqing from having any further contact, and you still want me to thank you?"

Obviously, the two of them were not close to each other, and were even separated by a coffee table and an office desk, but when Gu Yanchen sat there, he felt very oppressive. Even though his body was blocked by the desk, he could still be seen to be tall and slender, occupying the entire office chair, with a strong presence. When his face suddenly darkened, it was even more difficult to look directly at him.

But Gu Rong dared.

Not only dare, but also dare to sigh.

[Seducing again.]

Although his face has changed, a closer look reveals that the basic character remains the same, unchanged at all - in the previous world, Lu Yu was a few years younger than him, but as he grew older, from Classmate Lu to Doctor Lu, and Doctor Lu, the sense of maturity in him became more and more vivid, especially when he wore frameless glasses at work, which gave him a kind of abstinence-like sexiness.

Just like Gu Yanchen in front of him, his tie was tied meticulously, his shirt buttoned to the top button, and there was not a single wrinkle on his suit jacket, which was so formal that it was boring.

But Gu Rong liked it very much.

I want to tease people even more.

So these five words accurately entered Gu Yanchen's ears.

Seducing people again.

Gu Yanchen almost suspected that he was hallucinating.

He even subconsciously glanced at the projection screen, wondering if the projection screen, which had been paused earlier, would automatically start playing other content.

But none of them did.

This sentence was very real and clearly came from Gu Rong's voice.

But Gu Rong...did he open his mouth just now?

What's more, these five words...what exactly were they produced for?

It can't be because of him.

Gu Yanchen couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows, thinking that he might have heard something wrong.

"What did I say?"

Gu Rong said with a hint of innocence: "I just wanted to contact Ye Wanqing on your behalf. How can this be related to upbringing, my dear brother——"

The latter part of the statement was elongated, sounding lazy, and as if mocking something.

It was indeed an illusion.

Such ambiguous words could not possibly come from Gu Rong's mouth.

This thought just flashed through Gu Yanchen's mind, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"You're clearly behind—"

"What am I doing?"

Gu Rong interrupted Gu Yanchen and sneered, "I was obviously helping you. After all, I only asked Ye Shiyu to contact you, not to seduce you. This was Ye Shiyu's idea. She took the initiative, not mine. What did I do wrong? I just didn't want to embarrass my dear brother and share your worries."

"You are making far-fetched arguments."

Seeing that Gu Rong was still unrepentant and even full of sophistry, Gu Yanchen's last ray of hope for Gu Rong finally dissipated. He stared at Gu Rong with a cold face: "Since you don't know what you did wrong, then continue to reflect on yourself. In view of the things you have caused, I have decided-"

[Here he goes again, showing off his power.]

Gu Yanchen's voice stopped abruptly.

This time, he didn't move his eyes away from Gu Rong's face at all, and saw it clearly and unobstructed - nothing. Gu Rong's mouth didn't move at all!

But his voice clearly rang out.

Gu Yanchen's brows never relaxed, and they even furrowed tighter.

Was he hallucinating, or had Gu Rong learned ventriloquism without his knowledge?

Wait, that’s not right either.

Even if you learned ventriloquism, it would be impossible for you to pretend that you didn't say anything when you talk to him face to face, right?

Seeing Gu Yanchen suddenly stop, Gu Rong couldn't help but sneer: "What did you decide? Why don't you continue?"

[Isn't this just a way to take away my job? I won't agree to that.]

here we go again.

If it happened once, it could be hallucination, and twice, it could be a coincidence. But if he could hear it again and again, it couldn't be that there was something wrong with him.

"Your reputation has been damaged and everything has been resolved, and now you're looking for me to settle the score?"

[That woman Ye Shiyu only needs to apologize, why should she be stripped of my position?]

Not repentant, still quibbling!

Gu Yanchen frowned fiercely, thinking that the impact of this incident was not only the damage to his reputation, but also had a profound impact on the image of the Gu family.

As for what Gu Rong's purpose was, they both knew it very well.

There was no way Gu Yanchen would just pick it up and let it go this time.

Seeing that Gu Rong was still making excuses for himself——

"So what if a man has some gossip?"

Gu Yanchen's eyes were cold and gloomy: "Don't say anything more, this time I won't-"

[I would like to replace Ye Shiyu with myself, but unfortunately you will only push me further away.]

“——Ahem!”

Gu Yanchen didn't even care about his sudden loss of composure, and looked at Gu Rong in disbelief: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Rong sighed and said, "Brother, you can't even accept some gossip?"

[If I took off my clothes and sat on you, you would go crazy.]

Gu Yanchen took a deep breath, his brows filled with suspicion and doubt: "Gu Rong, what are you talking about..."

He guided Gu Rong to continue speaking, and finally heard:

"I just want to say that I don't think I did anything wrong."

Gu Rong looked straight at him, full of provocation and self-righteousness.

But Gu Yanchen heard another answer beside him——

If it weren't for your younger brother's status, Ye Shiyu wouldn't have been able to seduce you.
