Chapter 77: Chapter 54: Zealous Pursuers

Gu Yan’s expression completely froze.

Could it really be interpreted that way?

Ye Xiao had already been moved by her own imagination.

She sighed.

[In that case, the Gu Yan in the book seems quite tormented, silently in love with his elder brother, never able to confess his love in his entire life.]

“Ye Xiao.” Gu Yan, unable to tolerate it any longer, couldn’t help but call out.

“Hmm?” Ye Xiao looked at him innocently.

Gu Yan said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “The Gu Family and the Ye Family had long set a marriage arrangement. Since Gu Cheng and Ye Bingtong can’t be together, guess who should continue this marriage arrangement?”

Ye Xiao was stupefied.

What did that mean?

“Having been single for many years, now when I look at you, you actually appear quite attractive,” said Gu Yan.

Although it was merely her internal thought, Gu Yan could swear he saw a series of question marks as if they were popping up.

This was enough to prove just how speechless Ye Xiao was at the moment.

Gu Yan’s mood instantly brightened.

He said calmly, “You can think this over. I will come to ask you about it tomorrow.”

He opened the car door, got in, and drove away.

Leaving behind a disheveled Ye Xiao in the wind.

For a moment, she truly didn’t know whether Gu Yan was serious or not!

In her life, all she wanted was to eat, drink, have fun, and occasionally do things she enjoyed.

But she had never thought of finding someone to spend her life with.

Ye Xiao thought it over and over again.

Eventually, she came to a conclusion.

Gu Yan was just trying to scare her!

Since he remained unmarried his whole life in the book, how could his life change so quickly this time?

And, come ask her tomorrow? She would be at school tomorrow, not at all likely to meet him!

Ye Xiao suddenly felt somewhat aggravated.

Playing a trick on her, huh?

Come on!

Who’s afraid of whom!

Next time they met, she would definitely get back at him.

Just wait!

The next day.

In the school.

As soon as Ye Xiao got out of the car, she saw Ye Bingtong at the school entrance, parting reluctantly with Pei Yue.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

These two had broken through all restraints last night, now basking in mutual affection, looking quite sweet together.

Ye Xiao originally didn’t want to bother with them.

But Ye Bingtong, with sharp eyes, called out to her.

Ye Bingtong lifted her chin, appearing quite content with her current situation.

“Ye Xiao, after so many schemes and plots, you finally drove me out of the Ye Family. Are you satisfied now?” Ye Bingtong gritted her teeth.

Ye Xiao stopped in her tracks, her smile radiant, “Satisfied. I’m overwhelmingly satisfied. What about it?”

Ye Bingtong was taken aback by how readily Ye Xiao agreed.

Pei Yue couldn’t help saying, “You are so shameless, one day, you will get what you deserve! In my eyes, Bingtong is a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than you!”

“Pei Brother.” Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but look at Pei Yue with some gratitude.

Pei Yue also firmly held her hand, the two standing together as if their love was unbreakable.

Ye Xiao found the two of them amusing, and sincerely offered her blessing, “Indeed, a perfect match of pot and lid, a broken pot with a battered lid it is! I hope you’ll be together for a long, long time, and never part, huh.”

She usually liked to be sarcastic, but this time, she was absolutely sincere.

If they were to break up, even Ye Xiao would feel regret!

The more sincere Ye Xiao was, the more Ye Bingtong’s defenses were broken down, and she couldn’t help but say through clenched teeth, “Ye Xiao, don’t be so smug! In this world, what’s more important than love? You people only have vulgar money and power, but the most precious love? Do you have it? You don’t! Your entire lives, you can only sleep while holding those lifeless and vulgar things!”

Ye Xiao was stunned.

Oh my god.

She wanted to repent.

She shouldn’t have been always sarcastic toward Ye Bingtong. Look at how high Ye Bingtong’s moral ground was; even if she hated her to death, she still offered such blessings.

Ye Xiao was moved to near tears, “Thank you, thank you.”

In her life, as long as she had power and wealth, that was enough. Let Ye Bingtong have that grand and sincere love.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but grit her teeth, “Ye Xiao! You don’t need to pretend, what does it matter that you are the daughter of the Ye Family? I have Pei Brother, what about you? Surely you don’t even have one person who likes you, right?”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but want to laugh when she heard it.

Liking someone? What’s that, can you eat it?

But.

All these books tout the supremacy of love, so it’s no wonder Ye Bingtong would use this to attack her.

It’s really… so boring.

However.

As if to slap Ye Bingtong in the face, just as her words fell, suddenly, a boy with an envelope adorned with hearts stood in front of Ye Xiao, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Ye Xiao:

Ye Bingtong:

She stared intently at the male student.

Right after she had spoken, he came over to confess to Ye Xiao? Was he deliberately opposing her?

However, the boy had not heard the conversation earlier, and he was a bit nervous, “Ye Xiao, I… I like you. Could we exchange contact information?”

At the side, a few of the boy’s friends began to egg him on.

“Say yes to him, say yes.”

“It’s just exchanging contact information. There’s no reason to refuse, right?”

“You can’t be looking down on your old classmates now that you’re the Ye Family’s precious daughter.”

Watching the scene, Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but start laughing.

She made a comparison.

She found that the boy confessing to Ye Xiao simply couldn’t compare to Pei Yue’s handsome looks!

See. Ye Xiao is only fit to be confessed to by such losers.

Ye Xiao’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

At first, it was nothing.

A confession, after all, she had been confessed to in her previous life as well.

Her charm was too great, others couldn’t be blamed.

But.

This guy confessing on his own was one thing, but dragging a whole cheer squad along made Ye Xiao start to feel uncomfortable.

Moral kidnapping?

Haha.

In her previous life, she was a top actress and often had to be careful about her image, unable to swear too rudely on many occasions.

But now.

She was just a character set for a female side character!

What was there to fear!

Ye Xiao opened her mouth, all set to unleash a series of curses.

Suddenly.

A somewhat cool voice rang out.

“Want Ye Xiao’s contact information?”

That voice sounded somewhat familiar…

Ye Xiao turned around abruptly.

And saw Gu Yan with a lecherous appearance; he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and walked over leisurely, “I’m afraid that’s not possible.”

The student was a bit stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Why not? And who are you?”

Gu Yan sighed, “I am…”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but give Gu Yan a glare.

Let Gu Yan dare mention that ridiculous marriage agreement!

She had no intention of fulfilling that charade.

Gu Yan said seriously, “I am her fervent admirer.”

He spoke of being fervent, yet coupled with his ascetic demeanor, it looked anything but fervent!

“Gu Brother, you’re talking nonsense!” Ye Bingtong was starting to lose her cool and blurted out somewhat excitedly, “You couldn’t possibly…”

“Couldn’t possibly what?” Gu Yan asked indifferently.

“You’ve only just met!” Ye Bingtong gritted her teeth.

“In this world, love at first sight happens a lot,” Gu Yan continued calmly.

Ye Bingtong’s face paled, unable to come up with a rebuttal as she muttered the impossibility to herself.

Pei Yue frowned slightly, a bit displeased, “Bingtong, why do you care who someone else likes?”

Ye Bingtong became agitated, “What do you know! He’s Gu Yan from the Gu Family!”

The Gu Family. Gu Yan.

When it comes to the Gu Family in Luo City, there’s only one that’s the most famous.

And regarding Gu Yan, there’s only one who could be described as legendary.

The boy who had just been confessing to Ye Xiao suddenly became pale, and he instinctively put away the love letter.

Ye Xiao:

Don’t be such a wuss.

If you’re that cowardly, why bother confessing at all!
