Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Ye Xingyao returned to the room, replaying the conversation in her mind.

She didn't know why it turned out like this.

Before I knew it, a feeling of grievance came over me and my nose started to feel sore.

Tears just fell uncontrollably.

She clearly cared so much about Gu Yuchen, and she clearly begged Ji Yan not to target her. When the "evidence" was so conclusive, even if she really believed that it was Gu Yuchen who did those things, she never left him.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at her just now was clearly chilling, sharp and cold.

She couldn't help but sob softly.

At this moment, Gu Yuchen was still processing the documents sent to him by various departments on the computer in his study, but he felt that he could not calm down to read the documents at all.

A feeling of inexplicable loss and frustration filled me.

He clearly rushed home because he was worried about her, but how come they started arguing?

Gu Yuchen was a little absent-minded. Thinking of the tone he had used when talking to Ye Xingyao just now, he lost interest in his work.

He only felt that the dull pain in his stomach was getting stronger and stronger, and his heart seemed to be blocked and sour. An indescribable emotion made him unbearable and anxious.

Gu Yuchen's mind was now filled with the scene of himself and Ye Xingyao talking just now, but when he thought of her speaking for Ji Yan, he couldn't help but become angry.

She has been in contact with Ji Yan?

She actually believed what Ji Yan said so much?

She just closed the door and left without even looking back, without even asking me a question.

Gu Yuchen frowned and put his hand on his stomach, feeling the clear pain.

But for some reason, the feeling of heartache is more obvious this time.

He really wasn't in the mood to work, so he finally closed his computer and planned to go back to his room to rest.

But a familiar trembling sob was heard in the silent corridor.

Even though the sound was very small, Gu Yuchen heard it.

He was startled and looked at the door of Ye Xingyao's room, and unknowingly began to walk towards that room.

He walked to the door, and sure enough, the sobbing became clearer.

Suddenly, something in Gu Yuchen's heart seemed to twitch.

She actually cried?

Is it because my tone just now was too cold?

A look of panic flashed across Gu Yuchen's eyes. He moved his feet and walked in slowly.

What caught my eye was the scene of Ye Xingyao sitting on the bed, hugging her knees and crying.

Gu Yuchen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and stomach. Seeing her hugging herself in grievance, he felt like something was broken in his heart. Seeing Ye Xingyao's back shaking because of crying, his brows furrowed even more.

Gu Yuchen's eyes stopped at her twitching back, and an indescribable heartache surged up instantly. His eyelashes trembled, and he didn't say anything.

He walked gently to Ye Xingyao, stretched out his slender hand, and brushed a strand of her hair that hung in front of her face.

Ye Xingyao closed her eyes and did not notice that Gu Yuchen was right in front of her. She suddenly felt as if someone was touching her hair and she suddenly opened her eyes, just in time to meet those deep and shining eyes.

The two of them just looked at each other, one with tears of grievance, the other with a look of heartache.

"Why are you crying? Was I... mean to you just now?" Gu Yuchen asked cautiously, his eyes never leaving hers.

"I didn't think it was you at first... I didn't want to believe Ji Yan... It was you who told me in the hospital... I was sorry... that's why I..." Ye Xingyao looked at Gu Yuchen with a trembling voice, and a tear as big as a bean slipped out of her eyes while she spoke.

It was as if it had slipped into Gu Yuchen's heart, and he suddenly felt something in his chest tighten.

Gu Yuchen thought back to the day when Ye Xingyao said she was going out for a while in the hospital but she didn't come back for a long time. When she came back, her eyes were red from crying. He thought that Ye Xingyao was upset and cried because she found out that her work ranked last because the data was tampered with. He felt guilty for not managing the internal management as the organizer at that time, so he apologized to her.

It turned out that the girl actually took his "sorry" as his apology for tampering with her work, so she thought that he really did it.

"I mean, as the organizer, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities and such a big mistake occurred. I'm sorry." Gu Yuchen frowned and looked at Ye Xingyao. His voice was light and gentle, afraid that one more decibel would make the porcelain doll in front of him shed another tear.

Ye Xingyao opened her eyes in shock and even forgot to blink. It turned out that Gu Yuchen didn't refuse to explain to her, but he didn't know from the beginning that he was the one who did it.

It turned out that the word "I'm sorry" was not what she thought.

After thinking about this news clearly, Ye Xingyao suddenly felt that her mood became much more open.

"Whatever you want to ask, I can tell you," Gu Yuchen said softly to Ye Xingyao with a wave in his eyes. He was completely defeated by Ye Xingyao's tears, and at this moment he just wanted her to stop being sad.

Ye Xingyao was stunned by Gu Yuchen's sudden tenderness.

She blinked twice, not knowing whether she should ask.

"Hmm?" Seeing that Ye Xingyao was hesitant to speak, Gu Yuchen looked at her questioningly.

"Then...then why don't you come out and clarify if you are misunderstood by the media..."

"Do you want to...protect Senior Ji Jie?"

Ye Xingyao's voice was very weak when she said the last sentence. She didn't even dare to look at Gu Yuchen. She just hung her head and spoke dejectedly. She spoke in a low voice as if she was whispering to herself.

But she finally plucked up the courage to ask the question she wanted to know the answer to the most.

Gu Yuchen frowned after hearing the last sentence. Seeing that she was so cautious even in asking questions, he suddenly felt a little sad.

"How long has this problem... been bothering you?" He looked at Ye Xingyao with her head down, and felt a little distressed in his heart.

"Next time if you have any questions, you can ask me directly instead of keeping them in your heart."

"I didn't come out to clarify because I didn't want the situation to escalate. I'm under great public attention right now, and it's not like someone coming out to clarify will make all the trouble go away. So, it doesn't matter whether I clarify or not."

"Uncle Ji's family and my family have always had a good relationship. I don't want to protect Ji Jie. I just think that since I can handle the matter well, it's better not to affect Uncle Ji. Once it is linked to economic issues, it will be very troublesome to investigate and it will be dangerous. Now, because of my public opinion storm, several companies have been extended to economic issues. I don't want to bring this fuse to others again."

Gu Yuchen looked at Ye Xingyao and explained patiently and seriously.

After a long moment, a puzzled light flashed in his eyes.

"So, you thought from the beginning that I tampered with your work, so why did you take care of me?"

He stared at Ye Xingyao and asked the same question.

Ye Xingyao didn't dare to look up at him, and glanced at her toes.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Because I am worried about you... Compared to my work... I am more worried about you..."

When Ye Xingyao said this, her voice was so soft that it seemed as if she was speaking to herself.

But when it drifted into Gu Yuchen's ears, he felt as if his heart was filled with something like cotton. An indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.
