Chapter 149 The wedding was finally canceled.
"I'm full."
Chu Xinglan hurriedly pushed away Gu Ye's face, ignoring her back pain, and fled into the training room.
"Lanlan, I'm sorry I couldn't save you from this yesterday, but don't worry, I'll think of another way to get you out of here."
Shu Weiting suddenly called Chu Xinglan.
"Tingting, don't blame yourself, I'm out now," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Ye walked over, picked up a clean white towel and wiped the sweat from Chu Xinglan's head from her practice. Chu Xinglan was already used to Gu Ye's meticulous care. He wiped her head while she talked on her phone.
"Really? Where are you now?"
"In the rented room."
"You brat, you didn't even call me after you got out. I worried about you all night for nothing," Shu Weiting said angrily.
"Relax, I'll treat you to dinner, don't be angry," Chu Xinglan quickly said.
"That's more like it." Shu Weiting paused for a moment. "You really don't plan to marry Xiao Ze?"
“There were no feelings between us to begin with, so how could we force ourselves to be together?” Chu Xinglan said matter-of-factly.
"Xiao Ze is so handsome, and he comes from a good family..."
Shu Weiting kept telling Chu Xinglan how good Xiao Ze was and how great he was.
Despite Chu Xinglan's repeated insistence that she only considered Xiao Ze a friend, Gu Ye, overhearing their conversation, deliberately teased her by slipping a towel inside Chu Xinglan's clothes.
"Ah!" Chu Xinglan let out a soft groan for no apparent reason.
Even Chu Xinglan herself blushed when she heard that ambiguous voice, let alone Shu Weiting on the phone.
"Lanlan, what's wrong?"
"No, no, I bumped into something by accident." Chu Xinglan lied, her eyes flashing fiercely at Gu Ye: You did it on purpose!
"Your collision was quite something. I thought you'd been... you know..." Shu Weiting teased her.
"Hehe, how could that be? Don't think such a far-fetched thing. I'm hanging up now!"
Chu Xinglan hurriedly hung up the phone. She had no choice but to hang up. Gu Ye was ostensibly wiping the sweat off her body, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to grope her. His hands were already rubbing back and forth on her chest.
"Gu Ye, you..."
"You're covered in sweat!" Gu Ye said innocently.
He's right. I just practiced Taekwondo and I'm drenched in sweat now.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
If she continued to let him wipe her sweat, she would be too ashamed to face anyone. It was true that he was wiping her sweat, but it was also true that he was taking advantage of her. She couldn't let him succeed. He was like a vicious wolf that might devour her at any moment.
Chu Xinglan was about to run away when Gu Ye pulled her into his arms.
"Wait a minute, let's shower together." Gu Ye's voice was soft and pleasant, and even without doing anything, it made people blush.
"No!" Chu Xinglan quickly blocked Gu Ye's lips that were about to kiss her. "I, I didn't keep my bottom line last night, it was my fault, but now... I want to remain chaste, you, you can't take advantage of me anymore."
As Chu Xinglan spoke, she was already extremely embarrassed. She hurriedly pushed Gu Ye away and ran away.
Keeping yourself pure? I'd like to see how long you can keep that up.
Gu Ye crossed his arms and watched Chu Xinglan's hurried escape, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Lanlan, where are you?"
Shu Weiting called.
"At home?" Chu Xinglan replied lazily, lying on the sofa.
At this moment, Gu Ye was taking a shower in the bathroom, while she lay lazily on the sofa, reflecting on her depressed mood. She had been thoroughly tormented by Gu Ye all night and into the morning. With a sore back and aching waist, she didn't want to do anything or think about anything, letting her brain temporarily shut down.
“Great! I’m on my way to your place. Don’t go out, or I won’t be able to find you.”
"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner." Chu Xinglan nodded, completely forgetting that Shu Weiting didn't know she and Gu Ye were living together. She was probably too tired, so she just wanted to catch up on her lost sleep.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xinglan received another call from Xiao Ze.
"Xinglan, come out for a moment, let's talk."
"next time."
"It's related to our wedding."
Chu Xinglan was jolted awake as if struck by lightning. Her marriage to Xiao Ze was still on; if she didn't resolve the matter soon, it would be difficult for both the Xiao and Chu families to maintain a good image.
Where are you? I'm coming to find you.
Chu Xinglan suddenly jumped up.
"Come to the Red House Restaurant."
"it is good!"
In her haste, Chu Xinglan hissed and strained her already weak back.
Ouch, my back!
She suppressed her discomfort, grabbed her coat from the doorway, glanced briefly in the direction of the bathroom, and then turned and left.
Chu Xinglan hurriedly arrived at the Red House Restaurant.
Xiao Ze specially arranged for a secluded spot to sit down.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Chu Xinglan said apologetically.
"What's wrong with your back?" Xiao Ze noticed Chu Xinglan walking in, supporting her back.
"I accidentally strained my back," Chu Xinglan said, her face flushed.
"Did you hurt your back?" Xiao Ze opened his mouth.
"Oh dear, that's not the point." Chu Xinglan blushed more and more as she spoke.
Xiao Ze was smart after all, and he immediately understood.
"I didn't expect you and your senior to have this kind of relationship."
Chu Xinglan was stunned for a moment.
Is their relationship that obvious? She hadn't even said anything, yet Xiao Ze already knew what they had done?
what a shame!
Chu Xinglan, feeling embarrassed, could only sit down, supporting her back. She asked anxiously, "Did you convince Auntie and Uncle to cancel our wedding?"
Xiao Ze looked up at Chu Xinglan, who was eager to know the result.
For some reason, she wasn't particularly stunning, but she truly captured his heart. He recalled their first meeting, and he had even questioned her motives towards him. He could only be certain that she was different from other girls. She had gradually entered his heart, but while he had fallen for her, she still hadn't fallen in love with him.
Moreover, she already has someone else by her side. If it were someone else, he could still confidently compete for her, but with that person, he doesn't even have a chance to compete.
"Senior, what happened?" Chu Xinglan pressed.
“My parents have agreed to cancel,” Xiao Ze told her, revealing the outcome she most desired.
Although he spoke casually, getting his parents to agree to cancel the wedding was not so easy, especially when he saw Mrs. Xiao's shocked and incredulous expression, which made him feel guilty.
"How come your daughter-in-law disappeared after you went out to sleep for one night?"
Mrs. Xiao pulled Xiao Ze aside and whispered, "Ze, is it you who's incapable, or is there something wrong with that girl from the Chu family?"
"Mom, what are you thinking? Xinglan and I didn't do anything."
"You didn't do anything, so how did you lose your future daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Ze with even more confusion.
