Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Her Little Conspiracy_1
Translator: 549690339
I saw disappointment and pain in Ye Mengyanâs eyes.
She stood there motionless, staring at us for a few seconds.
It was then that I realized that she must have misconstrued my relationship with Gu Yuanzhou. To the naked eye, I was lying in bed with Gu Yuanzhou, held tightly in his arms.
To anyone, that would undoubtedly suggest an intimate relationship.
However, I had no intention of explaining things to Ye Mengyan.
There was no need to.
Ye Mengyan didnât have the right either.
I calmly got up, straightened my clothes, and said to Ye Mengyan,
âPresident Gu drank too much. You handle the rest!â
âOh!â
Ye Mengyan really was the obedient type.
Even though she looked heartbroken, she didnât make a scene.
As I reached the door, I glanced back.
Ye Mengyan was helping Gu Yuanzhou take off his shoes and jacketâŠ
I turned and went downstairs.
Back in my room, I took a shower and was getting ready for bed when Wenya called me again.
âWhere are you? Why havenât you come out yet? Weâre waiting for you!â
âCanât make it tonight, got wasted. Iâm about to sleep now, so tired! Letâs catch up tomorrow!â
âOkay, okay, you sleep. Weâll talk tomorrow.â
I hung up the phone and was about to lie down.
Just then, there was another knock at the door.
I opened it, and there stood Ye MengyanâŠ
âSorry to bother you this late! Can we talk?â
âIs there an emergency?â
I asked casually.
Ye Mengyan didnât quite know how to phrase it, she just kept looking at me, attempting to say something but hesitating.
I could guess she was waiting for me to clarify my relationship with Gu Yuanzhou.
But I didnât think it was necessary.
âActually, itâs not so important. I just wanted to talk to you about my plans to study abroadâŠâ
âHow about we talk about it tomorrow? Iâm really tired!â
âOh, okay. Sorry to disturb you!â
Although Ye Mengyan seemed hesitant to leave, she didnât want to impose and left willingly.
I closed the door and let out a yawn as I lay down on the bed.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but I had a sound sleep that night.
When I woke up the next day, the sunlight was already streaming through the curtain.
I squinted at the beam of light and felt some regret for having missed a golden opportunity.
What am I hesitating for?
After a momentâs stupor, there was another knock on the door.
I quickly washed up and got dressed to open the door, and there stood Ye Mengyan again.
âGood morning!â
âHmm, morning⊠Did you need something?â
âUm⊠I cooked breakfast. President Gu asked me to invite you to join us!â
âIs he awake?â
âYep, heâs been up for a while. He even went for a run before coming back.â
I was a bit surprised.
I know Gu Yuanzhou has a habit of getting up early and running, but itâs rare for him to do so after a night of heavy drinking. đŁđŻđđąđđąđđđđłđąđ.đ đđȘ
âAlright!â
As I was about to head to the dining room, Ye Mengyan stopped me again.
âCould you do me a favor?â
âWhat is it?â
âI just washed some clothes, and I want to take them outside to dry. Could you give me a hand?â
Given it was a small matter, I decided not to refuse.
The sun was pretty strong outside. Ye Mengyan was taking the clothes she just washed to dry in the yard. All I had to do was hang up the clothes and pass them to her.
âDo you know where I went last night?â
Ye Mengyan asked.
âOh, where did you go?â
âI went to say goodbye to some classmates. They found out I am going to France for my studies, so they held a farewell party for me.â
âThatâs great!â
âI ran into Shen Yishu last night!â
âReally? Did you two make up?â
Ye Mengyan shook her head, âAs you know, the person I like is Brother Gu!â
I thought to myself, if one day, I can prove that it was Gu Yuanzhou who tried to harm me, I might kill him without a second thought⊠then, Ye Mengyan might end up alone in the future.
And so I casually said it,
âHeâs not right for you. You two wonât last.â
Ye Mengyan squinted at me.
âBut Shen Yishu is even less suitable for me. Iâm going to study abroad for four years. By the time I come back, heâd probably be married and have kids. Local boys here are all like that. They donât have much ambition, they just know to get married, have kids, and spend their entire life revolving around their wife and children. They have no ambition whatsoever.â
I was shocked by Ye Mengyanâs perspective.
Whatâs wrong with a man putting all his thought and energy into his wife and children? She actually calls that lack of ambition.
âOkay, whatever makes you happy.â
I didnât feel like arguing any more, preferring to respect othersâ decisions.
Then, Ye Mengyan picked up another suit.
âLook, this is President Guâs suit!â
âYes!â
I recognized the black suit. It was the one that Gu Yuanzhou wore to the dinner party last night after having me sew on a button.
Presumably, it had gotten dirty last night and Ye Mengyan had washed it this morning.
âHe had a button missing here earlier. I offered to sew it back for him, but he refused⊠Do you think heâs starting to ignore me?â
I initially wanted to tell her I had sewn that button on, but on second thought, I chose not to.
I had a feeling Ye Mengyan was trying to hint at something.
After we finished hanging the clothes, I returned to my room.
Gu Yuanzhou was coming downstairs, his eyes focused on my face.
After staring at me for quite a while, I greeted him calmly, âGood morning, President Gu!â
Gu Yuanzhou approached me.
âI drank too much last night. Did I do something inappropriate to you?â
I glanced back nonchalantly, noticing Ye Mengyan standing motionless at the kitchen doorway, staring at me anxiously, as if waiting for my answer too.
So, I gave them an unexpected answer.
I chuckled and said to Gu Yuanzhou, âYou did!â
âReally? What did I do?â
Gu Yuanzhou moved even closer, his voice dropping lower.
âYou mistook me for Mrs. Gu and made someâŠexcessive moves on me.â
âAnd how do you feel about it?â
âHmm, I donât have any feelings at the moment. Iâll let you know when I do, President Gu!â
At this moment, Ye Mengyan brought breakfast to the table and chuckled, âBreakfast is ready. Everyone, letâs eat!â
âOh!â
I pulled out a chair and sat across from Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou seemed lost in thought and kept staring at me.
I, too, wanted to see what he was going to do next.
At this time, Ye Mengyan also took a sip of her milk and smiled at Gu Yuanzhou.
âBrother Gu, Iâve decided. I donât want to go to France to study.â
