After asking Gu Anran about the situation at the venue and learning that Ye Lichuan had risked his life to save her, Yu Hui looked visibly shaken and repeatedly asked, "Are you sure?"
Gu Anran said irritably, "Are you of a certain age or something? Do you really have to ask me so many times?"
Yu Hui chuckled and said, "As for him, he is Ye Lichuan. I have never heard of him saving anyone."
Yu Hui said excitedly, "We've won our first battle today, let's have a drink to celebrate!"
Gu Anran tapped her forehead helplessly and smiled, "How old are you? If you want to drink, just say you want to drink. Why do you have to find a reason?"
Yu Hui playfully stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Of course."
Ye Lichuan returned to the villa and looked at the empty house. He stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. When Liu Xinrou pounced on him today, he blocked her without thinking.
He had truly fallen for her. He thought he had frozen himself off and would never be moved again, but he never expected Gu Anran to appear.
He thought of Gu Xiaotian's face, and his mind was in turmoil. He wanted to find an opportunity to see Gu Xiaotian again and try to get a paternity test done.
To see if what he was wondering was true, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with Gu Anran, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
He looked at the bow on his arm and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Liu Xinrou didn't know how she got home. She threw her bag down and sat blankly on the bed for a whole day and night without eating or sleeping.
She couldn't believe that her life was really over. She had intended to ruin that bitch's reputation, so why was it her who ended up like this?
Her face twisted more and more with resentment as she thought about it, and she thought viciously, "You bitch, even if I die, I'll drag you down to hell with me."
She dialed the number of the person who had bribed her, and said in an arrogant tone, "Go to the company tomorrow and continue to spread rumors about Gu Anran and Bai Shaojie. Try to make it even more serious."
The person on the other end of the line twitched their lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Sister Xinrou, I can't do what you're saying."
Liu Xinrou's eyes widened, and she smiled sinisterly, "Do you think I'm no good anymore, so you don't want to do this anymore? Let me tell you, we're in the same boat now."
"If you want to push me into the water, you'll definitely do it too."
The other party, exasperated, muttered incoherently, "If my family didn't desperately need money, I wouldn't be complicit with you." Then he slammed down the phone.
Liu Xinrou sneered, "You're too green to fool me."
The next day, Gu An came to work in a great mood. As she walked through the office area, she heard people whispering about her and Bai Shaojie.
She initially thought it didn't matter; the innocent would remain innocent, and the guilty would remain guilty. But at lunchtime, many people pointed and gossiped.
Yu Hui walked over and saw her staring blankly at the food. She waved her hand in front of her and said, "Hey, what are you thinking about so intently? You didn't even notice I came."
Gu Anran composed herself, not wanting Yu Hui to be unhappy with her. She smiled and said, "It's okay. If you're thinking about work, hurry up and eat, or your stomach will hurt if you eat cold food."
Yu Hui smiled knowingly and said, "Don't take what those Tom, Dick, and Harry say to heart. We believe you rely on your abilities."
Gu Anran hugged her gratefully: "Thank you for always choosing to believe in me first, no matter what."
The follow-up matters for Gu Anran's order were almost completed, and the manager reported the matter to Ye Lichuan.
Ye Lichuan took out his phone and dialed Bai Shaojie's number directly. He said coldly, "Bai Shaojie, if you have any more improper thoughts about Gu Anran, I will chop off your claws and make the Bai family pay for it."
Under Ye Lichuan's threat, Bai Shaojie dared not harbor any ulterior motives and quickly completed the order. Gu Anran also won over some people with her own strength.
Gu Anran could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She patted her chest as she left Bai Shi's place, thinking to herself, "Why has Bai Shi changed her mind? She's not making things difficult anymore and agreed so readily."
Then the car horn sounded: "Beep..."
Gu Anran looked up and saw the person coming down, asking gently, "Why are you here?"
Ye Lichuan looked at the pretty little woman in front of him and said coldly, "I'm afraid some people are too stupid and will be bullied again."
It was clearly just concern, but it came out of his mouth and sounded completely different.
Gu Anran stomped her foot angrily and roared, baring her teeth and claws, "You... Humph."
Ye Lichuan stood beside the car with a slight smile and asked, "Are you getting on or off?"
Gu Anran and Ye Lichuan bickered all the way back to the company, and their relationship gradually deepened.
The company made a good profit. The manager came out of his office, clapped his hands and said, "Xiao Gu's order was successful today. I'll treat everyone to dinner after get off work."
Ye Lichuan called Gu Anran and said gently, "Go and play with them, relax a bit. I'll pick up Xiaotian for you."
Gu Anran was taken aback for a moment, then said apologetically, "Aren't you going?"
Ye Lichuan asked indulgently, "You don't believe me when I say you're stupid? If I go there, will you guys still be able to relax?"
Gu Anran was speechless.
Ye Lichuan wanted to build a good relationship with Gu Xiaotian, and he also liked Gu Xiaotian's intelligence and cuteness.
Gu Anran and Yu Hui went to a karaoke bar with their colleagues. They hadn't had a good time in a long time, and everyone went wild.
They sang, drank, and chatted together, putting aside all their unpleasantness and having a great time all night.
The bribed man, trying to get information out of Gu Anran, suggested, "How about we play Truth or Dare?"
Everyone laughed and agreed immediately. It would be too disappointing if Gu Anran didn't play. The loser had to drink and had to tell the truth about everything.
"We spin the bottle, and whoever it lands on gets asked a question. If they don't want to talk, they just drink."
Everyone participated excitedly. She had just turned to her own turn when she generously said, "I choose Truth or Dare. You guys ask."
A colleague jokingly asked the mobile gamer, "Are you a virgin?"
She smiled nonchalantly and said, "No."
Everyone burst into laughter. She turned to a few more people, then secretly glanced at Gu Anran, and the bottle tip pointed at Gu Anran.
She clapped her hands and laughed, "Little Gu, what do you choose, truth or dare?"
Gu Anran smiled slightly and said, "Truly."
She suddenly asked, "Who is the father of your child?" They all knew that Gu Xiaotian was Gu Anran's son, but they had never seen her husband.
Everyone around was annoyed, but no one spoke up out of politeness. After a few seconds of silence, Gu Anran smiled and said, "I'll drink."
Yu Hui smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Drinking is good, let's finish and continue."
The bribed person wasn't about to let Gu Anran off easily. She deliberately said, "Little Gu, it's not good for you to drink on your first time. Besides, we're all curious about what the big star's biological father looks like." Gu Anran calmly replied, "I'm really sorry. Everyone has things they don't want to talk about. I hope everyone understands. I'll have two drinks to show my apology."
