Chapter 154 It turns out she had already died in her past life.
After dinner, Shu Weiting left immediately, as if she hadn't stopped. Staying here would not only mean enduring wave after wave of PDA, but also facing the mental pressure from Gu Ye. If she didn't leave, would she be tormented to death by this couple?
"Tingting went back like this." Chu Xinglan muttered to herself. She was reluctant to let Shu Weiting leave. After all, the two of them had such a good relationship. They had been together since childhood and even went to school together. This was the first time they had been separated for so long and so far, especially because of the regret of not being able to meet in their previous life.
Immersed in the sadness of parting from her friend, Chu Xinglan did not notice the expression on Gu Ye's face when he looked at her.
She simply kept her head down, following Gu Ye as they walked slowly forward.
"Lanlan".
Gu Ye suddenly grabbed Chu Xinglan's wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Gu Ye?" Chu Xinglan was startled and looked up, only to see Gu Ye's strange expression. She paused for a moment, remembering what Shu Weiting had said in the restroom.
“Tingting and I have been best friends since we were little. We’re like sisters. You don’t need to compete with her for my affections.”
Chu Xinglan lowered her head, her heart filled with the sweet feeling of being cared for.
"That's precisely why I have to care." Gu Ye's expression suddenly turned serious.
"I don't understand, why?" Chu Xinglan sensed something was wrong. He rarely showed her such an expression. His serious expression must mean something was wrong.
"If you really care that much, then what I'm about to say might be very important to you." Gu Ye's expression grew even more serious.
"What did you say?" Chu Xinglan stared at Gu Ye in astonishment.
"Your friend will be murdered soon after he goes abroad."
"What?" Chu Xinglan stood there in shock, staring up at Gu Ye in disbelief.
"Shortly after she went abroad, she was spotted by a famous director and became an overnight sensation as the leading actress, becoming the most popular Chinese-American actress. However, not long after, she was murdered in her home, completely naked, and it is suspected that she was sexually assaulted before her death."
Gu Ye watched Chu Xinglan carefully, and just as Chu Xinglan was about to fall, he caught her in time.
"When did this happen? After I died?" Chu Xinglan slowly regained her composure and asked Gu Ye.
"It happened... about two weeks after our wedding." Gu Ye paused for a moment, but finally told her.
"Back then... I wasn't dead yet, how could I not know?" Chu Xinglan asked in surprise.
“That’s foreign news. You rarely go online and never read the news, so you wouldn’t know. If I didn’t know she was your close friend, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it,” Gu Ye replied truthfully.
"If that's the case, why didn't you tell me?" Chu Xinglan asked Gu Ye reproachfully.
It turns out she died not long after going abroad. No wonder she couldn't contact her even with stable communication. She was stupid. The Shu family must have known about what happened to Shu Weiting, but she never thought to contact them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have only found out about Shu Weiting's ordeal now.
“You were in a bad mood at the time, and I was afraid that this matter would make you feel even worse, and I also felt that it was unnecessary, so I didn’t tell you.”
"Then why are you telling me now?" Chu Xinglan stared intently at Gu Ye again.
"Because I saw your relationship with her, and... I think it's best to tell you this early, since nothing has happened yet."
Gu Ye gazed tenderly at Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan was enlightened by Gu Ye's words.
Yes, that tragedy hasn't happened yet, and there's still time.
Chu Xinglan seemed to have thought of something, and she quickly took out her phone and hurriedly called Shu Weiting.
"Lanlan, we just separated, and you're already calling me. Aren't you afraid Gu Ye will get jealous?" Shu Weiting joked.
"Tingting, I have something very important to tell you now." Chu Xinglan's voice became serious.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?"
"You must cancel your trip abroad immediately."
“I know you’ll miss me, and I’ll miss you too. I won’t stop you from pursuing love, so please don’t stop me from pursuing my career.” Shu Weiting smiled.
"I'm telling the truth, listen to me, cancel it immediately."
"Stop fooling around!"
"I'm not making a fuss. Listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good."
"Okay, okay, you mean well, but I can't cancel it. I've already booked a flight for tomorrow, so I have to catch my flight tomorrow. You have a handsome guy in your arms, so I don't expect you to come see me off. I need to conserve my energy tonight."
Shu Weiting then hung up the phone.
When Chu Xinglan tried to call back, the other party kept saying they were busy.
Upon hearing the result Gu Ye gave, Chu Xinglan became restless, pacing anxiously back and forth.
If it were someone else, she might not believe it, but these words came from Gu Ye's mouth, leaving her no choice but to believe them. But how could she convince Shu Weiting to cancel her trip abroad? Without a suitable reason, she simply wouldn't believe it.
"Lanlan, don't panic!" Gu Ye saw that she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, so he grabbed her shoulders with both hands to calm her down.
"Gu Ye, what should I do? How can I make Tingting believe me and cancel her trip abroad?"
Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye with a helpless expression.
"Let's not think about this now. Let's go home and get a good night's sleep."
They were originally taking a walk in the neighborhood, but now Gu Ye could only comfort her and tell her to temporarily stop thinking about these things.
"How can I sleep when I think about what Tingting will go through next?" Chu Xinglan felt that Gu Ye was too heartless. In her past life, he kept Shu Weiting's death a secret from her, and now he was unmoved by her pleas for help.
"Lanlan, there's no use in worrying now. There's still tomorrow, isn't there? Get some rest first, and we'll definitely find a solution tomorrow," Gu Ye continued to soothe her gently.
"It's too late, she has a plane ticket for tomorrow morning!"
Chu Xinglan was so anxious she wanted to cry.
Gu Ye didn't say anything, and simply bent down and picked her up.
"Gu Ye!" Chu Xinglan slapped Gu Ye angrily. "Even at a time like this, are you only thinking about that kind of thing?"
Gu Ye, who had been slapped, was not angry. He simply said calmly, "I'm not as lustful as you think. I just want you to go back and get some sleep. Your anxiety won't help."
Chu Xinglan felt a pang of guilt when she saw Gu Ye, who remained unperturbed by her anger and only showed concern for her.
"Gu Ye, I'm sorry."
She reached out to touch the finger marks on Gu Ye's face.
A slap followed by a treat—that's nothing.
Her worries about Shu Weiting and her guilt towards Gu Ye were intertwined, making her unable to hold back her tears.
"Listen to me, go back and get some sleep. The sky isn't going to fall." Gu Ye's voice was unusually gentle as he carried Chu Xinglan away.
