The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

"Xinglan, your leg is all better?" Yangyang was both surprised and delighted to see Chu Xinglan return to the company.

"It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu insisted that I put on a cast and rest at home." Chu Xinglan smiled.

"You should be content, shouldn't you? Who else in the company gets such good treatment? Do you know that the aunt downstairs also broke her leg while cleaning, but she only rested at home for a week before coming back to work? You even get paid leave. I'm so envious of you." Yangyang shook her head. She really didn't know how lucky she was.

"Really?" Chu Xinglan could only pretend to be confused.

"Xinglan, you're finally back at the company." Yang Yang suddenly grabbed Chu Xinglan's hand with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xinglan sensed that Yang Yang's words had a hidden meaning.

"You don't know, during the month you were resting at home, Assistant Xue actually got together with Ye Xiaoxiao."

"Yes, they're getting married this month." Chu Xinglan didn't think there was anything surprising about it.

"What? They're getting married?" Yang Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, didn't they say anything?" Chu Xinglan asked, puzzled. She had thought the two of them would announce the good news in a high-profile manner, but it seemed they also wanted to keep their marriage a secret.

"They're getting married, aren't you even a little bit sad?" Yang Yang looked at them as if they were rare species.

"Why should I be sad about their marriage?" She was actually quite happy!

"Assistant Xue...wasn't he your boyfriend? Just because you were injured and recuperating at home, Assistant Xue started getting involved with Ye Xiaoxiao." Yang Yang couldn't understand how Chu Xinglan could be so calm.

Chu Xinglan then understood what was going on.

"No, Assistant Xue and I are not in that kind of relationship. We have never been boyfriend and girlfriend."

"You two aren't boyfriend and girlfriend?" Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, then her imagination ran wild. "Xinglan, are you saying this because you don't want to put Assistant Xue in a difficult position? You two are clearly lovers. Did he promise you any benefits or threaten you, so you agreed to break up and let him be with Ye Xiaoxiao?"

"You watch too many idol dramas; your mind is unusually eccentric." Chu Xinglan looked at the serious Yang Yang, both amused and exasperated. "Assistant Xue and I really have nothing going on!"

Seeing Chu Xinglan's serious and earnest expression, Yang Yang had no choice but to believe the truth.

"Oh, I see. I've been misunderstanding Assistant Xue all this time, especially when I saw him and Ye Xiaoxiao wearing matching rings. I kept giving them attitude."

As Yang Yang finished speaking, she quickly realized something and said anxiously, "I'll apologize to them right away."

"Slow down!" Chu Xinglan was taken aback, then couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

This misunderstanding has finally been cleared up.

Chu Xinglan turned around and saw Gu Ye standing at the door staring at her.

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and walked back to her workstation.

Gu Ye tapped the wall with his finger.

"Secretary Chu, pour me a cup of tea."

"Oh well."

Chu Xinglan bit her lip; she had to face it eventually.

"Boss, your tea." Chu Xinglan brought a teacup into the office.

Gu Ye nodded slightly.

Chu Xinglan had no choice but to carefully hand the tea to Gu Ye.

Gu Ye raised his head.

Chu Xinglan tensed up as she twisted her fingers.

“From now on, we’ll interact like we’re at home. You don’t need to be reserved, and I won’t do anything to you anymore.” Gu Ye gazed at her tenderly.

"Okay, okay." Chu Xinglan replied softly, then whispered even more, "Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

Gu Ye nodded.

"To celebrate Xinglan's recovery, let's drink until we drop tonight!" Ye Xiaoxiao said happily, holding a glass of red wine.

"Aren't you going to drink again? Aren't you afraid that what happened that day will happen again?" Chu Xinglan reminded Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Xue Bai.

"Let it happen again, anyway, we're getting married soon." Ye Xiaoxiao showed off her ring and said with a grin.

Xue Bai's eyes were already fixed on Ye Xiaoxiao; he couldn't wait to get drunk.

“You don’t care, but I do,” Chu Xinglan quickly said. She didn’t want to be forced to sleep at Gu Ye’s place again.

"Xinglan, starting today, I've decided to officially live with Xue Bai." Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Xinglan and announced to her.

"That's your business, why are you telling me?" Chu Xinglan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ye Xiaoxiao simply smiled without answering.

Chu Xinglan seemed to glean something from her words.

"You mean...you're going to live together here?"

"Bingo!" Ye Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers. "Smart, that's what it means."

"Wait, this is my house..." Chu Xinglan said, then seemed to realize something. This didn't seem to be her house either; it was Gu Ye's house.

"So... I'd like to trouble you to move to the boss's place!" Xue Bai smiled sheepishly.

"How can you bully people like this? Don't you know the order of arrival?" Chu Xinglan said indignantly.

"You can stay here if you don't mind the inconvenience. After all... when emotions run deep, it's possible to lose control in any situation..." Ye Xiaoxiao said apologetically.

"Stop, I know, I'll move!" Chu Xinglan interrupted her; this was too much of a bully.

She glanced at Gu Ye, and decided that she had been living a comfortable life for too long. Suddenly moving back to such a far and old neighborhood seemed a bit undesirable, so she would reluctantly agree to live under the same roof with Gu Ye for the time being.

Ye Xiaoxiao and Xue Bai clapped their hands in triumph.

"So we should celebrate properly today!" Ye Xiaoxiao began pouring drinks.

"Boss, you'd like a glass too." Xue Bai picked up the red wine and prepared to pour a drink for Gu Ye.

"Why not?" Gu Ye smiled elegantly.

"Hmph? I'll just have juice." Chu Xinglan gave a sneer.

"Ugh~"

Suddenly, Chu Xinglan felt nauseous and began to dry heave.

"Xinglan, are you alright?" At this moment, three pairs of eyes stared at her, filled with worry.

"I'm fine..."

As Chu Xinglan was speaking, that sour feeling returned.

Chu Xinglan hurriedly left her seat and ran to the toilet, where she dry heaved in front of the sink.

Oh no, could this be morning sickness?

Chu Xinglan became a little nervous.

"vomit……"

Seeing that she was vomiting badly, Gu Ye was worried and left his seat to come to Chu Xinglan's side.

"Lanlan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, let's eat first." Chu Xinglan nudged Gu Ye, feeling like she was going to throw up again. She covered her mouth with her hand and forced a smile at Gu Ye.

"You're vomiting so badly, could it be that you ate something bad? I'll have Xue Bai take you to the hospital." Gu Ye hurriedly pulled Chu Xinglan to take him to the hospital.

That won't do. If we go to the hospital for a checkup, Gu Ye will find out about the pregnancy.

"No, it's really nothing. It's just that I've been eating seafood a lot lately... and I'm getting a little tired of it. I feel like throwing up whenever I see it."

Now all she can do is blame the seafood.
