Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

After coming out of the restaurant, Ye Xingyao felt as if her soul had been sucked out of her. She walked forward aimlessly without any control, and her mind was in a panic and blank.

Ji Yan's words kept lingering in her ears. She couldn't believe that these were true, but she was also afraid that it was true.

At this moment, Ye Xingyao's brain was constantly attacking herself:

"What is going on between Brother Ji Yan and Gu Yuchen? Why is he being followed and investigated? Why is he being targeted so much?"

"Did Gu Yuchen really tamper with my work? But that exhibition is obviously very important to me. Yes, it is important to me, but not to him. Why would he care whether I care or not?"

"Brother Ji Yan, do you know that Gu Yuchen can't drink? Then the way he persuaded him to drink, does he want to kill Gu Yuchen?"

"Senior Ji Jie, are she and Gu Yuchen on good terms?"

"But Jin Ran clearly said that Gu Yuchen didn't have a girlfriend, and asked me to take care of him."

"Gu Yuchen, do you have a face that I can't see?"

Ye Xingyao tore these questions apart in her mind, and then pieced them together and asked herself again. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the hospital entrance.

With a series of questions in mind, she quickly came to Gu Yuchen's ward, but hesitated and did not dare to push the door in. Just then she heard him talking on the phone with someone else.

"Have you tracked down the other party's IP..."

"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon..."

"Let's prepare the materials first, and ask the PR department and the legal department to prepare in many aspects..."

"..I'll take care of it.."

Ye Xingyao stood in front of the ward in a daze when she heard these intermittent words.

I thought: So he really did it. You take responsibility, but how do you take responsibility?

Her feelings of grievance and disbelief suddenly surged, and tears welled up in her eyes.

No matter how much Ji Yan said, she felt that she could ignore it. But when she heard Gu Yuchen admit it himself, she felt as if she had been hit by a huge blow, as if the air had condensed and she was frozen in place.

After she heard Gu Yuchen hang up the phone, she calmed down for a long time, and then she felt that her emotions were slightly relieved. Finally, she gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Gu Yuchen heard the noise at the door, and just as he raised his eyes, he met her red eyes. His brows tightened involuntarily, and his silent dark eyes stayed on her face for a long time before moving away.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

He was caught off guard by the sudden pain and unconsciously raised his arm to press the vulnerable spot. He closed his eyes and breathed softly, waiting for the pain to subside.

Ye Xingyao's eyes quickly caught the movements of his hands, her gaze following his expression, her lips slightly opened but no sound came out.

She saw that his eyes were slightly closed and his chest was slightly rising and falling, and she felt as if her heart was torn apart and a little distressed.

"Have you... eaten anything today?" Seeing his face gradually turning pale and his hands' movements becoming more intense, Ye Xingyao finally couldn't hold back her worry and broke the silence.

"I can't eat..." Gu Yuchen answered weakly with his eyes open, but his gaze remained on Ye Xingyao's wet and red eyes with tears in them.

"We are leaving for the airport at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Is there anything you need to pack at the hotel?" Gu Yuchen asked slowly and gently in a low voice.

Looking at her red eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and his stomach began to ache more and more.

"I... just need to get up early tomorrow and pick up my luggage." Ye Xingyao quickly avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him.

Gu Yuchen saw that she avoided his gaze, with a pair of eyes that were obviously crying, and suddenly he felt that his heart was hit somewhere, as if his heart was clearly aching twice. His heartache and panic for her were about to explode.

He had a bad feeling.

"Who did you go see?" Gu Yuchen frowned and spoke in a cold tone, but the worry in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"No one..." Ye Xingyao still didn't dare to look at him, and denied it in a vague tone.

But when it fell into Gu Yuchen's eyes, it only made him more certain of his guess.

"Ji Yan?" Gu Yuchen looked at her drooping eyelids and said these two words without thinking.

Ye Xingyao was stunned, looking a little flustered. She didn't expect him to guess it so quickly. She felt a little overwhelmed.

Then she stayed where she was and did not answer.

But for Gu Yuchen, this was already an answer.

He suddenly panicked, thinking that she might have known about the exhibition. He stared at her quietly, with countless soft and flickering glooms surging in his deep and silent eyes. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth:

"sorry..."

Gu Yuchen had already found out that the person who attacked the network the second time was Ji Yan, and he had guessed the whole story. So he thought that if Ye Xingyao really met Ji Yan, Ji Yan must have told Ye Xingyao that her work data had been tampered with.

Gu Yuchen was immediately filled with self-blame. He felt that such an important exhibition could have had such a huge mistake in his hands, which was his biggest dereliction of duty as the organizer.

Even though Ji Jie's behavior was just an extreme one due to her emotions, he only blamed himself for the incident.

Looking at her aggrieved and sad eyes, Gu Yuchen felt his heart and stomach aching.

When Ye Xingyao heard the word "I'm sorry", the defense that had been tense for half a day finally broke, and tears fell uncontrollably.

They fell one by one into Gu Yuchen's heart, smashing down with great weight.

Gu Yuchen seemed to be able to hear the sound of something hitting his heart.

"It was my mistake at work..." Gu Yuchen paused, looked at her, and said in a gentle tone.

He originally wanted to say that if Ye Xingyao wanted compensation, she could ask for it.

But he suddenly remembered that at the end of the exhibition, he felt a little bit sorry to see such a perfect work get the last place. He wanted to invite Ye Xingyao to his company to do jewelry design, but Ye Xingyao resisted fiercely, so he couldn't finish his words.

So he was stunned for a moment, and didn't say the words of compensation. He thought, how could a girl who could design such a breathtaking "Pure Dream Angel" participate in the competition for money? She herself was like a pure angel. What she cherished had become something he could not and could not afford to pay back.

Ye Xingyao's tears continued to fall.

But Gu Yuchen didn’t know that the reason she cried was not because she felt that her work was tampered with and she took last place, but because he himself admitted it.

Ye Xingyao didn't want to be the cannon fodder between Gu Yuchen and Ji Yan, and she didn't want Gu Yuchen to use her as a target and not care whether she cared about the exhibition or not, even though they had just met.

But she just felt uncomfortable. Everything was uncomfortable.

She felt uncomfortable with Gu Yuchen falsifying the data, eating with Ji Jie while being sick, exposing her past scandal with the superstar Su Mo, having competition with Ji Yan, and hiding the truth about the exhibition from herself.

Ye Xingyao's trust in Gu Yuchen collapsed in an instant, and Ji Yan's words at noon began to replay in her mind over and over again, making her unable to stop listening.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest and felt very wronged. Why was it Gu Yuchen who tampered with the data?

What about him taking her little hand and placing it on his stomach and asking her to rub it on the first day they met?

Then what about the cold words and sharp eyes he said when they met in the bathroom after he saw me and Ji Yan holding hands at the party?

What about him calling her name with his teeth clenched, his whole body shaking, and his eyes dazed when he was in extreme pain?

Then what about him having cold sweat on his face, being extremely forbearing, and holding her hand to comfort her when he saw her crying?

Ye Xingyao's eyes were filled with tears and mist at the moment, making it difficult for her to see Gu Yuchen's emotions and expression.

Gu Yuchen moved his Adam's apple, as if he had endured it to the extreme. A trace of pain flashed across his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Ye Xingyao... I will give you an explanation..." Gu Yuchen's tone was weak, and he closed his eyes unbearably after he finished speaking, his chest floating lightly.
