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

Chapter 152 Immense Pressure

Gu Ye's gaze lingered only on Chu Xinglan, his eyes gentle, but his expression somewhat serious.

Something must have happened before she arrived, otherwise Gu Ye wouldn't have given her that look.

"I...I went to see Senior Xiao Ze," Chu Xinglan answered softly.

"Who did you go to see?" Gu Ye had obviously heard her words clearly. He just couldn't believe that in such a short time, this woman had gone to see another man, and the one she was planning to marry.

"We went to discuss annuling the engagement." Seeing that Gu Ye was really angry this time, Chu Xinglan hurriedly explained.

"And the result?" Gu Ye frowned, unable to contain his nervousness despite not wanting it to happen.

He could do everything he could to stop others, but he couldn't control Chu Xinglan. If she was willing, he was powerless to stop her.

"The engagement has been successfully annulled, and Xiao Ze and I will no longer be bound by marriage."

As Chu Xinglan spoke, she stole a glance at Gu Ye.

"That's more like it." Gu Ye's brows relaxed considerably, and he gently pulled Chu Xinglan into his arms. "You should see him less often in the future."

Although Xiao Ze was a promising junior, he didn't allow his girlfriend to have too much contact with him.

“We’ve already made ourselves very clear, and I believe Xiao Ze isn’t the type to cling on relentlessly.” Chu Xinglan’s voice was even lower.

Shu Weiting stared blankly at them. Did these two think she didn't exist? But seeing her friend standing next to Gu Ye, she couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion: Chu Xinglan, being held tightly in the palm of a perfect man, was truly happy and felt incredibly safe, which made Shu Weiting a little jealous.

Chu Xinglan suddenly thought of Shu Weiting standing to the side, and hurriedly pushed Gu Ye away. Then she pulled Shu Weiting in front of Gu Ye.

"Gu Ye, this is my best friend, her name is Shu Weiting."

"Hmm," Gu Ye replied simply.

Chu Xinglan wanted to say something, but then she didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"Um... I think I came at the wrong time. Maybe I should come to see you another day."

Shu Weiting felt the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, as if she were superfluous, so she prepared to leave and give them some space.

"You just arrived, why are you leaving like this?" Chu Xinglan quickly grabbed Shu Weiting. "Perfect timing, it's lunchtime, let me treat you to dinner."

At this point, Chu Xinglan felt guilty. She had promised to invite Xiao Ze, but she ran away as soon as the dishes were served. Moreover, she had also called to invite Shu Weiting to dinner.

But she was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to tell Gu Ye, and now she feels like she owes everyone something.

Shu Weiting originally planned to have dinner and chat with Chu Xinglan here, but Gu Ye's presence disrupted everything.

She glanced at Gu Ye furtively, and dared not respond to Chu Xinglan until Gu Ye spoke.

After all, the pressure emanating from this giant ice block was simply too overwhelming. Just standing in front of him gave one a chilling feeling. The legendary cold-faced CEO truly lived up to his reputation.

But her naturally dim-witted best friend was immune to him and was spoiled rotten by him.

"Gu Ye, can you let Tingting stay with me?" Chu Xinglan knew that Gu Ye had the final say, and if he didn't speak up, her best friend would definitely not dare to stay any longer.

She had a bit of a headache. This was clearly her home, a place she had paid to rent, but it was acting like it belonged to Gu Ye. Even having a friend stay for dinner required his permission.

"I'll take you out for dinner tonight." Seeing Chu Xinglan's pleading eyes, Gu Ye affectionately patted her head and spoke softly.

Chu Xinglan immediately beamed with joy, and she turned around and pulled Shu Weiting along.

"Tingting, you stay here."

Shu Weiting had a lot to say to Chu Xinglan, so she nodded. But with an icy man standing in front of her, she felt pressured, so she said to Chu Xinglan, "Let's go to the room to talk."

As Shu Weiting spoke, she pulled Chu Xinglan toward another room, but when she opened the door, she was stunned once again.

There was clearly a bed here, so how did it end up like this?

Shu Weiting looked at Chu Xinglan with a questioning gaze.

"This place has been converted into a training room." Chu Xinglan smiled sheepishly.

Shu Weiting inexplicably turned around and glanced in Gu Ye's direction.

So that's why he has such a great physique; he likes to practice martial arts.

"It wasn't prepared for him, it's for my own use." Chu Xinglan stuck out her tongue.

"You? The training room?" Shu Weiting stared at Chu Xinglan with wide eyes, then looked her up and down.

With a body as thin and frail as hers, how could she possibly practice martial arts? Does she think she's not going to live long enough?

"Have you forgotten you're pregnant?"

Chu Xinglan quickly covered Shu Weiting's mouth.

"So... Gu Ye doesn't know you're pregnant with his child?" Shu Weiting had no idea what her friend was thinking. She was already pregnant with Gu Ye's child, and the two of them had slept together, yet she was still hiding the fact that she was pregnant from him.

"I haven't planned to tell Gu Ye about my pregnancy yet," Chu Xinglan said softly.

Shu Weiting glanced at Chu Xinglan. Although she didn't agree, she would still respect her choice.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting the baby by doing this?" This pregnant woman is really carefree, running around everywhere and even practicing martial arts.

"It's okay, the baby is very strong." Chu Xinglan touched her belly.

"You'd better be careful. You finally got pregnant. If you give birth, you can ask Gu Ye for a large sum of child support." Shu Weiting smiled. Seeing Chu Xinglan's peculiar way of thinking, Shu Weiting was really worried about her. So it would be good if she could get a huge sum of child support.

"I'm not keeping the baby for child support," Chu Xinglan replied with a smile.

As long as the baby can be born safely, she doesn't care about anything else, even her long-cherished revenge, she can put it aside for the time being.

"Alright, no matter what, you must protect yourself."

Shu Weiting glanced at Gu Ye again and asked gossipily, "So, you two are really sleeping together now?"

Chu Xinglan's face flushed red instantly.

"Lanlan, I never imagined Gu Ye was such a handsome guy! He even has sixteen abs, a full sixteen! My god, you're so lucky!"

As Shu Weiting spoke, her heart couldn't help but pound. Faced with such a handsome man, even she was smitten. How could her best friend resist?

"It's not like I'm after him for that..." Chu Xinglan blushed.

The scene of her intimate moments with Gu Ye that night flashed through her mind, and she quickly slapped her face to stop herself from thinking about it anymore.

She took Shu Weiting's hand and said with a smile, "Tingting, let's have a good talk today."
