Chapter 97 Nothing is more important than her life.
It seems this is the only way. In order to prevent Gu Ye from losing a project worth tens of billions, Chu Xinglan pressed the alarm.
Instantly, the alarm in the archives went off.
"Are you crazy? You'll get arrested too." The man stared at Chu Xinglan in disbelief.
Chu Xinglan, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, merely gave a bleak smile.
"What a madman." The man tried to leave before the security guards arrived, but just as he opened the door, he was kicked away.
The tall and slender Gu Ye appeared at the door.
"Gu Ye?!" Chu Xinglan was both surprised and delighted, but when she thought about how she was here, she lowered her head again. He would definitely mistake her for someone with this man!
Gu Ye walked over and saw five bloody marks on Chu Xinglan's fair cheek and blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. He was immediately enraged and went over to kick the man several more times.
The man was kicked so hard he rolled on the ground, howling in pain.
"It's on my side, why are you only hitting me and not her?"
"You want the boss to beat her up? Do you think she hasn't been beaten badly enough?" Xue Bai walked over, pulled the man up, and handed him over to the security guard.
"How...how did you appear so quickly?" The man couldn't believe it; it had taken less than a minute from the alarm going off to their arrival.
"We noticed you a long time ago." Xue Bai looked at Chu Xinglan and said with some guilt, "We just didn't expect that you, this scumbag, would actually lay a hand on a woman."
"Take him out," Gu Ye said coldly.
So the security guard escorted the man away. Xue Bai glanced at Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan, then left on his own, leaving the two of them alone.
"Gu Ye, I didn't steal anything, do you believe me?" Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye anxiously.
"I believe you." Gu Ye placed his hand on Chu Xinglan's swollen face and said with heartache, "Don't do such foolish things again. Give him what he wants, don't try to take it from him."
Seeing Chu Xinglan being beaten, he was furious and rushed over, wishing he could tear that scum to pieces.
"I didn't know someone on your team was watching the surveillance footage, and this is a project worth tens of billions. I can't let you lose that much money." If she weren't afraid of hurting her child, she would have fought that man to the death.
"What are tens of billions? Your life is the most important thing. I would rather lose tens of billions or hundreds of billions than lose you."
Gu Ye held Chu Xinglan tightly in his arms.
"Gu Ye... don't hug me so tightly..."
Chu Xinglan was having trouble breathing, so she quickly pushed Gu Ye away.
"I'm sorry." Gu Ye gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with his fingers.
Chu Xinglan felt a warmth in her heart. Fortunately, Gu Ye hadn't misunderstood her, and thankfully, he believed her.
While staring at Gu Ye's handsome face in a daze, Chu Xinglan suddenly gagged again.
"vomit……"
"Lanlan, are you alright? I'll take you to the hospital." Gu Ye said, picking up Chu Xinglan without further ado.
"No, no, it's really nothing!" Chu Xinglan hurriedly stopped her, struggling to get down from Gu Ye's arms. "Don't make a fuss, I just haven't digested properly yet."
"Really?" Gu Ye was skeptical. He might have been overprotective; he would get extremely anxious whenever she was unwell.
"Really, I'm not kidding you, I'm fine, I'll feel better after throwing up for a while."
What she said was true; once the pregnancy symptoms subsided, everything would be fine.
"Alright, you must have been frightened today. How about I take you home to rest?"
Gu Ye gently patted her head.
"Let Xue Bai take me," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
She searched the archives for most of the day but found nothing. It seemed she should just ask Xue Bai directly.
Gu Ye noticed the way Chu Xinglan's eyes were darting around.
"Alright then, go home and get some rest."
Gu Ye led Chu Xinglan out of the archives room.
Just then, Xue Bai arrived.
"Boss, I've already had security take that person to the police station."
"Xue Bai, take Lanlan back to rest." Gu Ye said, giving Xue Bai a strange look.
Xue Bai was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
"Okay, Xinglan, I'll take you home."
"Then I'll have to trouble Assistant Xue." Chu Xinglan smiled, glancing at Gu Ye as she left.
Gu Ye... it seems I really have to leave you!
"Xinglan, I heard you were beaten up in the archives room, is that true?" Ye Xiaoxiao rushed over and, seeing the injury on Chu Xinglan's cheek, knew the truth. "Which bastard dared to lay a hand on you?"
As Ye Xiaoxiao spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to give it her all.
“He’s already been sent to the supervisory bureau. He won’t be out for at least ten years,” Xue Bai said, gazing at his beloved wife with a smile.
"You're still laughing? As a senior assistant in the company, how could you let something like this happen to Xinglan?" Unable to find the culprit, Ye Xiaoxiao took her anger out on Xue Bai, punching him in the chest.
Xue Bai exclaimed in pain.
"Damn, you actually hit me."
"You're flirting with me even though we're not really fighting?" Ye Xiaoxiao said irritably.
"Won't things be chaotic when you two get married?" Chu Xinglan looked at them, unable to suppress a laugh.
"Absolutely not, I will definitely give in to Xiaoxiao. If she's unhappy, I'll be her source of joy. If she's angry, I'll be her punching bag. I promise I won't fight back or talk back." Xue Bai quickly and solemnly swore to the heavens, afraid that Ye Xiaoxiao was afraid of marriage.
"That's more like it." Ye Xiaoxiao nodded with a grin.
"Xiaoxiao, I'll go take Xinglan home to rest first. See you later!" Xue Bai waved goodbye to Ye Xiaoxiao with affection in his eyes.
"How about... I go back by myself, so as not to disturb your lovey-dovey conversation?" Chu Xinglan joked with a smile.
"How can that be? If the boss finds out, he'll skin me alive!" Xue Bai hurriedly shook his head.
Chu Xinglan chuckled.
Sitting in the car, Chu Xinglan looked at Xue Bai who was driving, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Xue Bai, do you still remember Shirley?"
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Xue Bai was focused on driving.
"Can you tell me why Shirley resigned from the company?" Chu Xinglan asked tentatively.
She knew that Shirley was a taboo subject in the company, but given her long-standing good relationship with Xue Bai, it shouldn't be difficult to pry some information out of him.
"Shirley..." Xue Bai originally wanted to avoid this topic, and even he didn't dare to bring it up again, but he immediately remembered that Gu Ye had once told him that if Chu Xinglan wanted to know about Shirley, he should tell her the truth and not hide it from her.
"You want to know about Shirley?" Xue Bai turned around and glanced at Chu Xinglan.
The boss is truly a genius. He actually predicted that Chu Xinglan would ask him about Shirley. Originally, he didn't quite believe the boss when he said Ye Xiaoxiao was his future wife. Even after he won Ye Xiaoxiao over, he still thought it was a coincidence. Now it seems that the boss really does have the ability to predict the future.
