My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 92: 92 Her Little Conspiracy_1

She stood there motionless, staring at us for a few seconds.

It was then that I realized that she must have misconstrued my relationship with Gu Yuanzhou. To the naked eye, I was lying in bed with Gu Yuanzhou, held tightly in his arms.

To anyone, that would undoubtedly suggest an intimate relationship.

However, I had no intention of explaining things to Ye Mengyan.

There was no need to.

Ye Mengyan didn’t have the right either.

I calmly got up, straightened my clothes, and said to Ye Mengyan,

“President Gu drank too much. You handle the rest!”

“Oh!”

Ye Mengyan really was the obedient type.

Even though she looked heartbroken, she didn’t make a scene.

As I reached the door, I glanced back.

Ye Mengyan was helping Gu Yuanzhou take off his shoes and jacket…

I turned and went downstairs.

Back in my room, I took a shower and was getting ready for bed when Wenya called me again.

“Where are you? Why haven’t you come out yet? We’re waiting for you!”

“Can’t make it tonight, got wasted. I’m about to sleep now, so tired! Let’s catch up tomorrow!”

“Okay, okay, you sleep. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

I hung up the phone and was about to lie down.

Just then, there was another knock at the door.

I opened it, and there stood Ye Mengyan…

“Sorry to bother you this late! Can we talk?”

“Is there an emergency?”

I asked casually.

Ye Mengyan didn’t quite know how to phrase it, she just kept looking at me, attempting to say something but hesitating.

I could guess she was waiting for me to clarify my relationship with Gu Yuanzhou.

But I didn’t think it was necessary.

“Actually, it’s not so important. I just wanted to talk to you about my plans to study abroad…”

“How about we talk about it tomorrow? I’m really tired!”

“Oh, okay. Sorry to disturb you!”

Although Ye Mengyan seemed hesitant to leave, she didn’t want to impose and left willingly.

I closed the door and let out a yawn as I lay down on the bed.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but I had a sound sleep that night.

When I woke up the next day, the sunlight was already streaming through the curtain.

I squinted at the beam of light and felt some regret for having missed a golden opportunity.

What am I hesitating for?

After a moment’s stupor, there was another knock on the door.

I quickly washed up and got dressed to open the door, and there stood Ye Mengyan again.

“Good morning!”

“Hmm, morning… Did you need something?”

“Um… I cooked breakfast. President Gu asked me to invite you to join us!”

“Is he awake?”

“Yep, he’s been up for a while. He even went for a run before coming back.”

I was a bit surprised.

I know Gu Yuanzhou has a habit of getting up early and running, but it’s rare for him to do so after a night of heavy drinking.

“Alright!”

As I was about to head to the dining room, Ye Mengyan stopped me again.

“Could you do me a favor?”

“What is it?”

“I just washed some clothes, and I want to take them outside to dry. Could you give me a hand?”

Given it was a small matter, I decided not to refuse.

The sun was pretty strong outside. Ye Mengyan was taking the clothes she just washed to dry in the yard. All I had to do was hang up the clothes and pass them to her.

“Do you know where I went last night?”

Ye Mengyan asked.

“Oh, where did you go?”

“I went to say goodbye to some classmates. They found out I am going to France for my studies, so they held a farewell party for me.”

“That’s great!”

“I ran into Shen Yishu last night!”

“Really? Did you two make up?”

Ye Mengyan shook her head, “As you know, the person I like is Brother Gu!”

I thought to myself, if one day, I can prove that it was Gu Yuanzhou who tried to harm me, I might kill him without a second thought… then, Ye Mengyan might end up alone in the future.

And so I casually said it,

“He’s not right for you. You two won’t last.”

Ye Mengyan squinted at me.

“But Shen Yishu is even less suitable for me. I’m going to study abroad for four years. By the time I come back, he’d probably be married and have kids. Local boys here are all like that. They don’t have much ambition, they just know to get married, have kids, and spend their entire life revolving around their wife and children. They have no ambition whatsoever.”

I was shocked by Ye Mengyan’s perspective.

What’s wrong with a man putting all his thought and energy into his wife and children? She actually calls that lack of ambition.

“Okay, whatever makes you happy.”

I didn’t feel like arguing any more, preferring to respect others’ decisions.

Then, Ye Mengyan picked up another suit.

“Look, this is President Gu’s suit!”

“Yes!”

I recognized the black suit. It was the one that Gu Yuanzhou wore to the dinner party last night after having me sew on a button.

Presumably, it had gotten dirty last night and Ye Mengyan had washed it this morning.

“He had a button missing here earlier. I offered to sew it back for him, but he refused… Do you think he’s starting to ignore me?”

I initially wanted to tell her I had sewn that button on, but on second thought, I chose not to.

I had a feeling Ye Mengyan was trying to hint at something.

After we finished hanging the clothes, I returned to my room.

Gu Yuanzhou was coming downstairs, his eyes focused on my face.

After staring at me for quite a while, I greeted him calmly, “Good morning, President Gu!”

Gu Yuanzhou approached me.

“I drank too much last night. Did I do something inappropriate to you?”

I glanced back nonchalantly, noticing Ye Mengyan standing motionless at the kitchen doorway, staring at me anxiously, as if waiting for my answer too.

So, I gave them an unexpected answer.

I chuckled and said to Gu Yuanzhou, “You did!”

“Really? What did I do?”

Gu Yuanzhou moved even closer, his voice dropping lower.

“You mistook me for Mrs. Gu and made some…excessive moves on me.”

“And how do you feel about it?”

“Hmm, I don’t have any feelings at the moment. I’ll let you know when I do, President Gu!”

At this moment, Ye Mengyan brought breakfast to the table and chuckled, “Breakfast is ready. Everyone, let’s eat!”

“Oh!”

I pulled out a chair and sat across from Gu Yuanzhou.

Gu Yuanzhou seemed lost in thought and kept staring at me.

I, too, wanted to see what he was going to do next.

At this time, Ye Mengyan also took a sip of her milk and smiled at Gu Yuanzhou.

“Brother Gu, I’ve decided. I don’t want to go to France to study.”
