Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Chapter 9 Ye Xingyao takes Mr. Gu's car back to the hotel

The night was warm and the sky above was dotted with countless stars, twinkling with faint light.

Ji Yan and Ye Xingyao didn't say anything else. They just lay quietly on the railing and looked up at the stars.

There were gusts of cold wind in the air, and Xingyao crossed her arms.

"Is it cold? It's getting late. I'll take you home first." Ji Yan looked at his watch. It was almost 22pm. He was worried that it would be bad for a girl like her to go home too late. What's more, there was an exhibition tomorrow that was very important to her.

"No need, Brother Ji Yan, you have guests here, I can just call a taxi myself," Ye Xingyao waved her hands quickly.

"How can that be possible? I'm worried about you going back alone dressed so beautifully."

"Really, no need, don't bother, it's safe to call a taxi now." Ye Xingyao didn't want Ji Yan to do anything for her anymore. Just for this piece of clothing, she owed him a huge favor, and just now she pulled him away from Gu Yuchen. She didn't know in her heart if her actions had delayed Ji Yan's business.

"Then...I'll ask my driver to take you?" Ji Yan said gently.

"Okay then." Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ye Xingyao had to agree.

"Okay, you just saw the car. I'll ask the driver to stop at the door. Just go over when you're ready," Ji Yan instructed.

Ji Yan is like this, warm and considerate, but not oppressive. That's why Xingyao always calls him brother.

Coming down from the rooftop, it seemed as if this place was still at the time before they came up. The same noise and the same smell of alcohol.

Ji Yan had gone to greet the others. Ye Xingyao looked around the hall, trying to find Gu Yuchen. After failing to find him, Ye Xingyao prepared to go to the bathroom first.

As expected, the restrooms on this floor were full. Although the restrooms in this high-standard hotel were magnificent, there were not many spaces. No wonder, there was only one space here while other places had three. She had no choice but to go upstairs.

It’s still this quiet.

Ye Xingyao really doesn't like crowded occasions.

A few minutes later, Ye Xingyao came out of the bathroom, only to run into the face she had just been looking for in vain.

"Are you... okay?" Ye Xingyao couldn't think of anything else to say. She only saw that his face was a little paler than when he left just now.

"What? Do you want me to be bad?" Gu Yuchen said coldly.

He and Ji Yan have always been business rivals who compete secretly. He knew before coming here that this would definitely not end well. But he didn't expect that the girl who took care of him last night was actually Ji Yan's girlfriend. He was furious when he thought about this, and felt that they were teaming up to bully him. One was trying to find out about his situation, and the other kept forcing him to drink.

"You don't look well...you can't drink anymore," Ye Xingyao said in a daze.

"Oh? Miss Ye likes to care about others so much?" Gu Yuchen glanced at Xingyao with obvious sarcasm.

Ye Xingyao didn't know what was going on, she just wondered why this person was so moody. He was completely different from the person who begged for help to rub his stomach yesterday! She was actually a little angry for a moment:

"Mr. Gu, if you can drink so much, it's up to you. But today there's no one to look after you like yesterday," Ye Xingyao fought back without showing any weakness.

"Yes. It won't be like yesterday when someone gave me the wrong medicine." Gu Yuchen hit back.

Ye Xingyao was speechless. After all, she had made his condition worse twice yesterday, so of course she had nothing to say now. She could only turn around in anger.

This person really holds a grudge.

Ye Xingyao thought he was seeking revenge for what happened yesterday. But she also felt that he was really cold-blooded. After all, she had taken care of him for a whole night without eating or drinking, but today he turned his face against her!

But before he had taken a few steps, he heard the person behind him vomiting. When he turned around, the person had disappeared.

Ye Xingyao was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she sincerely believed that she had given him the wrong medicine, which made him feel so uncomfortable, so she turned around and went back.

All she could hear was the sound of water, mixed with a few painful retching sounds. Later, only the sound of water remained. Ye Xingyao waited for a few minutes but no one came out. Finally, she couldn't wait any longer and went straight to the men's restroom.

Gu Yuchen was seen leaning on the sink with his hands, eyes tightly closed, breathing heavily, as if he was trying to suppress something.

Seeing this, she was a little at a loss, so she had to tear off a piece of tissue and hand it to him timidly.

"Do you want to wipe it?" Xingyao asked in a low voice, with her hand hanging in the air and no one took it for a long time.

Apart from breathing heavily with his chest heaving, Gu Yuchen did not make any other unnecessary movements, nor did he answer her.

Ye Xingyao finally put her hand down, cursing in her heart that she shouldn't have come in.

After a while, Gu Yuchen slowly took the mouthwash from the washbasin and rinsed his mouth. He raised his body and glanced at her in the mirror with a vague look.

Why are there red spots at the corners of her mouth? Ye Xingyao instantly felt that something was wrong.

Thinking back to what happened last night, and thinking back to what happened just now, he was forced to drink many glasses of wine when he was with Ji Yan, and later on, it was iced liquor. After they went to the rooftop, he didn't know how much he drank.

Ye Xingyao still couldn't help but worry. Even she herself felt that she was such a coward.

"Ms. Ye, this is the men's restroom." Gu Yuchen looked so weak that he was about to collapse, but his tone was still so fierce. Every word was full of sarcasm.

Ye Xingyao knew that this was a men's restroom, so why did she need his reminder? But after he said that, she felt insulted again. Even her self-esteem felt like it was being taken away.

"I was afraid you would die in there, so I came to see you," Ye Xingyao said angrily.

"......Hmm..." Gu Yuchen's stomach suddenly tightened, and the sweet taste came back to his mouth. He supported himself on the table with one hand and dug his other hand into his coat. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he swallowed a few times, trying to suppress the liquid that was surging from the bottom of his stomach and wanted to burst out.

"I...I'll go call someone." Ye Xingyao was frightened by his actions again.

"Don't shout... I'll be back soon... The driver is at the door..." Gu Yuchen was out of breath.

Gu Yuchen has always been particular about his manners. He always behaves properly and like a gentleman in front of anyone in any occasion. He has never shown his unbearable appearance in front of others. He never reveals his illness to outsiders. Ye Xingyao is the first one who was surprised. Since he has already seen it, there is no need for him to be less tense in front of her.

"I just happen to be going back too. Are you going back to the hotel? I don't have a car. Can I take your car?"

Ye Xingyao was shocked at this moment. She didn't know why she said that. Maybe the other party's cold temperament made her unconsciously put herself in a low position. She felt that he would not refuse if she said that. Moreover, she was very worried about Gu Yuchen now. After all, it was Ji Yan who kept forcing him to drink and encouraged others to drink that made him like this. She was standing with Ji Yan at that time, and she felt a little guilty.

Gu Yuchen slowed down and stood up slowly:

"Why, Miss Ye's boyfriend is so confident that he allows you to wear a beautiful dress so late at night and still have the opportunity to take another man's car?" Gu Yuchen said sarcastically, but in his heart he just thought it was a scheme between the two of them.

"Boyfriend?" Ye Xingyao was stunned.

Could it be that he thought she and Ji Yan were a couple? Yes, they looked like a couple to anyone. Ye Xingyao's mind quickly turned around, and she realized why Gu Yuchen spoke so coldly.

She appeared as Ji Yan's girlfriend, watched Ji Yan pour him drink after drink, and now she came over to care for him. It seemed a bit "hypocritical". After sorting out this logic, she was inexplicably happy.

"Ji Yan is not my boyfriend, he is my childhood neighbor. He asked me for help today because he said he didn't have a female companion." Ye Xingyao couldn't wait to tell the truth.

Gu Yuchen seemed a little shocked after hearing this, turned his head and squinted at her, then sneered a few times.

What kind of person is Ji Yan? Would he be unable to find a female companion and have to ask someone for help temporarily?

But she said she was not Ji Yan's girlfriend, which made him put down his guard again. For some reason, Gu Yuchen, who was a business tycoon, usually found it difficult to trust others, but he had no doubts about what Ye Xingyao said.

"The driver is at the door, I'll give you a ride on the way..." Gu Yuchen thought, what kind of style is Ji Yan, he brings a girl out without even bothering to send her home safely.

In the hall, Ji Yan was still paying his respects, but he unexpectedly saw Xingyao and Gu Yuchen walking close to the door. He unconsciously paused with the cup in his hand, and quickly returned to his state.

"Brother Ji Yan, I'm sorry, I have something to do and can't take your car. Please tell the driver not to wait for me."

Ji Yan picked up his phone and received this message from Xingyao.

"Be safe and report back to me when you get back." Ji Yan raised his eyes and looked at the two figures outside the window again, and replied with a voice message.

"Be safe and report back to me." Xingyao opened the voice message and played it. For some reason, she looked at Gu Yuchen with a guilty conscience.

He didn't react at all. He walked straight to the car door, opened the back door and got in first.

Really not gentlemanly at all. Comparing Ji Yan's behavior, Ye Xingyao muttered secretly again.
