"Wake up! Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ye Lichuan, who was pretending to be asleep, chuckled, which made her even angrier.
Recently, she overheard Ye Lichuan making phone calls to Jia Yunxin several times. She believed they wouldn't do anything to betray her, but the feeling of being kept in the dark made her very uncomfortable.
"You found out? Yunxin and I only contacted each other because of company matters." Now that the problem was almost resolved, Ye Lichuan planned to tell her what had happened to prevent her from overthinking.
After listening, Gu Anran didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, she pulled the blanket over her head and fell asleep. Ye Lichuan reached out and pulled the blanket down. "Don't be angry. It was wrong of me to keep it from you. Don't cover your face, you'll suffocate."
Gu Anran snorted coldly, reached out and fumbled for her phone on the bedside table. Ye Lichuan didn't dare to say anything, and could only watch as she used her phone to check the news and send text messages to her secretary. Finally, she made a call to Jia Yunxin to express her feelings.
The two talked for a long time, so long that Ye Lichuan had to grab the phone and say, "Let's go to sleep, it's too late, we'll call again tomorrow."
After she became pregnant, Ye Lichuan set a strict schedule for her, and now it was already half an hour past that. Gu Anran touched her belly, silently pulled her cup away, clearly not wanting to talk to Ye Lichuan.
When Li Chuan woke up the next night, no one was around. He stood on the balcony and saw someone watering the flowers. He immediately ran down to stop her, but she glared at him.
Unexpectedly, this incident made her so angry. Ye Lichuan stayed by her side, trying to coax her, and finally softened her attitude.
"If something like this happens again, you must tell me no matter what, and you are not allowed to hide it from me."
Ye Lichuan nodded vigorously. Gu Anran then told him her thoughts, which she had been pondering all night. After all, YR was her company, and she was the one who had been the target of this public opinion storm. She should come out and give a positive response. Ye Lichuan immediately agreed.
The two went to the study, and Ye Lichuan adjusted the equipment, and the video recording officially began.
"I am Gu Anran. I am sorry for making everyone worry during this time. Regarding the rumors circulating, I would like to explain that the reason I am not in charge of YR is because I am pregnant." As she said this, Ye Lichuan immediately moved the camera down to her abdomen.
Gu Anran touched her belly and continued, "After discussing it with my family, they all want me to have the baby abroad, so Mr. Huo will be taking over YR for the time being. I hope everyone can support him."
After saying this, Gu Anran got up, took the phone, and told some interesting stories about her time in Australia. She also showed a small portion of her design drafts and said that she would return to YR after the baby was born safely.
After the recording ended, the two watched it together again. Because of her pregnancy, she was wearing loose clothing, but after the clothes were tailored, they did not look like ordinary maternity wear. Instead, they had a light, lazy and casual style. This clothing was from the YR Mother's Love series.
After a simple edit, the video was sent to Huo Ge, who immediately distributed it to various media platforms, and Gu Anran's name once again went viral.
Many people who already supported and loved YR knew that the female lead hadn't retired from the design industry, she was just pregnant, and they sent their blessings. At the same time, many people inquired about the dress Gu Anran was wearing.
While observing the matter, Huo Ge glanced at the comments below and a brilliant idea flashed in his mind: "We can take advantage of this buzz to do some publicity and get the PR and marketing departments to come see me."
YR acted swiftly, finding and posting pictures of the same outfit. After comparison, everyone discovered that Gu Anran was wearing YR's Mother's Love series, and the new president, Huo Ge, also responded.
“Designer Gu has always worn YR clothing, and YR products can be seen briefly in the later video. As an expectant mother, her use of YR products means that there are no safety issues.”
Those who still had reservations no longer hesitated and placed orders one after another. Many who had bought it before also posted positive reviews, praising YR for its design, quality, and comfort.
Someone started a review, and almost everyone who bought it said that YR products were good. With this boost, YR's sales skyrocketed again, resulting in a surge in orders. As a result, Hogo also had to work overtime for several nights in a row.
Gu Anran, who was in Australia, heard about company matters from Ye Lichuan because she was prohibited from using her mobile phone for extended periods. Sometimes, when her secretary and Huo Ge were busy, her phone would be taken away before they could see her messages.
"Hogo is really amazing. We should thank him properly this time. We'll treat him to a meal and give him a gift when he has time."
Ye Lichuan, feeling a pang of jealousy, lifted her chin. "What about me? Don't I get any benefits?"
Gu Anran pushed him away in disgust, got up and walked towards the studio he had tidied up. Ye Lichuan followed behind her relentlessly. She was so annoyed by his behavior that she turned around, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.
Is this okay?
Seeing Ye Lichuan laughing like a fool, she slammed the door shut, completely shutting out the fool outside.
He wasn't angry. Remembering that the paints Jia Yunxin had given him were about to run out, he immediately called an acquaintance and specially ordered a batch of non-toxic and harmless paints. Apart from being expensive, there was basically no need to worry about them harming the pregnant woman's body.
As Gu Anran's belly grew bigger every day, she faced more and more restrictions. Fortunately, he stopped hindering her in design matters after they had discussed it.
Now she has a more diverse understanding of children's clothing. She draws down every idea and understanding, makes simple modifications, and then has the factory process them.
Looking at the little children's clothes, she felt very satisfied. She didn't plan to use these for mass production because they were specially designed for Sanbao and Xiaotian, so that their clothes would be unique.
"Mom, I have too many clothes." Gu Xiaotian was holding a pile of clothes in his arms, only his bright and clear eyes were visible, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
These were all new clothes. After Gu Anran signed for them, she started sorting them out. Gu Xiaotian was given a huge pile of clothes, and he was on the verge of tears. The wardrobe his father had bought for him was almost completely filled.
"Don't you like it?" Gu Anran stopped what she was doing.
“I don’t have a mother, but there are just too many of them. I’m still growing, and some of my clothes won’t fit in a few years. It’s all going to be a waste.”
Gu Anran, who was excited, finally realized the problem. That night, she discussed it with Ye Lichuan and they decided to donate Xiaotian's clothes to impoverished areas. They also appealed to everyone online to participate in the charity event.
Many people sent their books and unwanted clothes to YR, which handled the process transparently. Gu Anran's reputation also rose again because of this.
