Chapter 28 Delivering a House to Your Workplace
Chapter 28 Delivering a House to Your Workplace
It must be said that Xue Bai's efficiency is commendable. In less than a few hours, he found a house that Gu Ye was very satisfied with, so Gu Ye specially took Chu Xinglan to see the house.
When Xue Bai saw Chu Xinglan, whom Gu Ye had brought to the apartment, he realized that his wild guesses had come true; Gu Ye really did want to hide Miss Chu inside.
Of course, apart from Xue Bai knowing Gu Ye's thoughts, Chu Xinglan was completely bewildered.
"Boss, why did you suddenly bring me to see this house?" Chu Xinglan asked, puzzled.
"What do you think of this house?" Gu Ye didn't answer her question, but instead asked her.
"Very good, very high-end!" Chu Xinglan nodded. She was speaking the truth. This was in the city center, and in a high-end neighborhood. For ordinary people, owning a house like this would be a dream come true. But the person in front of her was Gu Ye. He already had a villa. Did he need to buy another house? Of course, it wasn't a problem for rich people to buy several houses, but what did it mean that he wanted to buy a house and brought her here?
"Do you like it?" Gu Ye asked again.
"Of course I like it, but that has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, right?" Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye and smiled faintly.
Isn't this just deliberately trying to make her jealous?
"If you like it, then this house is yours from now on," Gu Ye said calmly.
"What do you mean 'it's mine'? Boss, I don't understand." Chu Xinglan scratched her head, wondering if her comprehension was just too poor.
"The company is giving out employee perks; new employees will receive a free apartment," Gu Ye said in a serious tone.
That was the only way he could say it so that the girl wouldn't be able to refuse him.
Xue Bai, standing to the side, rolled his eyes dismissively.
Boss, doesn't your heart ache? I've been with you for so many years, and you've never given me such good benefits, like giving me a house? And such a high-end one at that? To win over a girlfriend, you can tell such a lie, and you even act so serious about it. Anyone who didn't know better would really believe it!
However, isn't your way of pursuing your girlfriend too costly? Giving her a house in the name of your company doesn't make her feel your kindness.
And this silly girl, such a good man treats her like this, but she doesn't feel anything at all.
Why is this couple's relationship so rushed?
Xue Bai looked at Gu Ye and then at Chu Xinglan with exhaustion. He felt that he was about to turn white-haired, just like his name suggested.
"Are the company's employee benefits really that generous? I've only been working here for two days and they're already giving me a house? Is that for real?"
Chu Xinglan looked at Xue Bai questioningly.
Xue Bai turned his head to the side as if it were none of his business, pretending not to see it.
Whether the company's benefits are good or not depends entirely on Gu Ye's mood.
So, did the boss suddenly come back to life? Did something happen between them that rekindled the hope in the previously dejected boss?
Isn't Miss Chu living with the man surnamed Xu? Or even if she is living with someone else, does the boss not care and want to...?
Xue Bai dared not think about it; he could only say, "Another lovelorn fool!"
"You can move in today. If you need anything, just ask me." Gu Ye looked at Chu Xinglan with unusual tenderness. Only when Chu Xinglan turned to look at him did he put on airs, adopting the demeanor of a big boss.
"You're staying here tonight?" Chu Xinglan asked in surprise. "Is this house really for me? Or is it just for me to stay temporarily?"
Is there really such a good thing? But even if it is a good thing, she can't live here. The reason she moved to this remote and impoverished area was to avoid attention. When she got pregnant, no one she knew would see her. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for her to live here? Besides, she won't be staying at Gu Ye's company for long.
“It’s conveniently close to the company, so I can get some more sleep here,” Gu Ye said, raising his fingers as if he couldn’t resist touching her.
"Gu Ye, you're being so good to me, is it because of what happened last time we slept together?" Chu Xinglan stared at Gu Ye inquisitively. "I already told you about that. You don't have to take responsibility for me. Besides, you've already saved my dad's company, so neither of us owes the other anything."
Chu Xinglan felt that the better Gu Ye treated her, the more upset she felt. Perhaps he really wanted to marry her and take responsibility for her, but there were other people in his heart, and he truly loved someone else. Therefore, she didn't deserve the kindness he gave her; only the person in his heart deserved all of this.
Upon hearing Chu Xinglan's words, Xue Bai was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
What? He seemed to have overheard some incredible gossip: Miss Chu slept with the boss? When? How come he didn't know?
No wonder the iron tree bloomed; it must have tasted the flavor of meat!
"Lanlan..." Gu Ye hesitated, then said calmly, "You're overthinking it. This really is a company benefit. If you don't believe me, ask Xue Bai. Do you think I would care about that one time?"
As Gu Ye spoke, he tossed the room key into Chu Xinglan's hand and turned to leave.
"Me?" Xue Bai pointed innocently. Not admitting it would be disobeying the boss, but admitting it would be against his conscience. Being a subordinate is really difficult. "Xinglan, just accept it."
In the end, Xue Bai had no choice but to leave those words behind and quickly catch up with Gu Ye.
Chu Xinglan stared blankly at the room key.
What's going on here? Giving her an apartment out of the blue, claiming it's a company benefit—who would believe that?
"Mommy, this house is so beautiful!" the little baby exclaimed excitedly.
"Do you like it?" Chu Xinglan asked, watching the little guy running around the house.
"Yes." The little one nodded repeatedly. "Mommy, can we stay here?"
“Alright then, we’ll stay here.” Chu Xinglan nodded.
Consider it a gift to her unborn child; living in her father's house is perfectly acceptable.
"Really? That's great!" The little baby ran happily into the bedroom and plopped down on the soft bed.
Seeing how curious the little one was, Chu Xinglan decided to renovate one of the rooms into a beautiful nursery, which would surely make the little one even happier.
Without hesitation, Chu Xinglan picked up her phone and searched online.
Just then, Shu Weiting called her again.
"Hey! Tingting."
"Aren't you off work yet? I'm already at your doorstep, I've brought you some food."
"Tingting, I'm not going back to stay tonight. Why don't you go inside and rest for a bit?" Chu Xinglan said somewhat apologetically.
"Gu Ye made you work overtime again?" Shu Weiting asked anxiously. No wonder he's a devilish man, exploiting his employees like this.
"No, it's... Gu Ye gave me a house, and I'm living here now."
