The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 45 Gu Ye lives next door

Sensing Chu Xinglan's disapproving gaze, Gu Ye seemed to know what she was thinking and quickly explained, "I only lose control when it comes to things involving you."

Hearing Gu Ye's blatant and heartfelt confession, Chu Xinglan blushed.

"When you said you loved me... was it true?"

Xue Bai, who was just watching the drama unfold, seemed to have heard some incredibly juicy gossip.

"What? Did the boss confess his feelings in public? What did I miss?"

Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan ignored him, their eyes only on each other.

"it is true!"

"And what about Shirley? Don't you love her?" Chu Xinglan asked again.

"Shirley? How could I love her?" Gu Ye found this a bit ridiculous. How could she think he loved Shirley? So this was her reason for rejecting him?

"You don't love her?" Chu Xinglan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Xinglan, how could you think the boss loves Shirley? And how do you know about Shirley?" Xue Bai also clarified for Gu Ye at this moment.

"Well... I just heard a colleague mention it, and I thought it was the boss's girlfriend, so I asked out of curiosity," Chu Xinglan lied.

She couldn't very well say that she was reborn. Shirley and Xue Bai were Gu Ye's right-hand men before, so how could she not know that?

Gu Ye knew she was lying, but he didn't call her out on it, nor did he want Xue Bai to investigate further.

"Are you free? Go back now."

"I didn't..." Xue Bai saw Gu Ye's face darken and immediately realized what was going on. "Alright, I'll get out of here right now!"

Chu Xinglan smiled as she watched Xue Bai's carefree figure disappear into the distance.

Seeing her smiling at another man, Gu Ye felt a surge of jealousy. He, who was carefully bandaging Chu Xinglan's wound, suddenly tightened his grip.

"Ouch!" Chu Xinglan winced in pain, turning back to look at Gu Ye with displeasure. "That hurts!"

"Who gave you the right to look at other men in front of me!" Gu Ye's eyes were fierce.

Chu Xinglan blushed inexplicably, and muttered, "I didn't expect Gu Ye to be jealous."

"Of course I'll be jealous. I wish your eyes would only ever be on me." Gu Ye gazed at Chu Xinglan with deep affection, his long, slender fingers gently reaching towards her cheek. He wanted to bite her rosy cheek; he wanted it so badly…

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Xinglan hurriedly pushed him away, her heart pounding.

She admitted that she couldn't deceive herself; she had truly fallen in love with Gu Ye. He was so charming and attractive.

She was blind in her past life, giving up such a good husband and instead thinking about Xu Yang, that poor man from a poor background.

But thinking of her tragic past life, she hesitated and dared not get close to Gu Ye again. She had to complete her mission as soon as possible and leave Gu Ye, otherwise they would only get deeper and deeper into trouble.

"It's getting late, you should go back!" Chu Xinglan opened the door and gave Gu Ye the order to leave.

Gu Ye knew that he couldn't rush things if he wanted her to accept him; he needed to slowly help her open her heart.

"Alright, you should get some rest!" As Gu Ye was leaving, he affectionately flicked Chu Xinglan's fair forehead with his finger.

Chu Xinglan winced in pain as she watched Gu Ye leave with a dashing air.

Damn Gu Ye, that stinky Gu Ye, he couldn't resist flirting with her even before leaving!

"Mommy, that stinky daddy clearly hit you, why are you still happy about it?"

The baby's untimely voice startled Chu Xinglan. She turned around and looked at the little guy who was looking at her with an inquisitive expression.

"What do you know, little kid!" Chu Xinglan pretended to be angry, picked her up and gently placed her on the bed. "It's so late, little kid, you should be sleeping. Don't pry into adult matters."

"Oh no! Gentle Mommy has become furious and turned into a shrew, ready to hit the baby!"

Just as Chu Xinglan was about to cover the baby with a blanket, the baby suddenly jumped up from the bed and ran to the other side, crying loudly as he ran.

Chu Xinglan was stunned. Good heavens, she actually wanted to play cat and mouse with her?! How could she refuse?

"Don't run away, or Mommy will catch you and give you a good spanking."

So the two of them chased each other around the bedroom, having a great time. In the end, Chu Xinglan took advantage of her physical strength to get over the bed and hug the baby.

"Okay, baby, stop fussing and go to sleep. Mommy has to go to work tomorrow, otherwise I won't have any energy." Chu Xinglan said gently as she lay on the bed holding the baby.

The little baby hadn't had enough fun, but still obediently nodded.

After putting the baby to sleep, Chu Xinglan got out of bed and went to the window to draw the curtains. Just then, she noticed a figure across the way staring intently at her. The owner of that gaze was none other than Gu Ye.

Gu Ye?!

Chu Xinglan thought she was seeing things, but after looking closely, she was absolutely certain that the person was Gu Ye.

Gu Ye knew that she had discovered him, so he waved to Chu Xinglan in a generous manner to greet her.

Isn't it a coincidence? The second apartment that Gu Ye had Xue Bai buy was right across from Chu Xinglan's, separated from her by only one window. Originally, he just thought it would be convenient to pick her up and drop her off, but now he can see her every day from his balcony. He has been secretly watching her these past few days, but this oblivious woman hasn't noticed him.

What puzzled Gu Ye was that Chu Xinglan would run around in her room alone every night before going to sleep, just like she had just done. If she was exercising, it didn't seem like she was exercising; it looked more like she was chasing someone...

However, her carefree and happy demeanor was quite beautiful, and he hoped she would always be this happy.

He had been watching this girl from the balcony for several days without noticing her. Luckily, she didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, and it was fortunate that he lived across the street. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened to a young and beautiful girl living alone.

Gu Ye saw Chu Xinglan open the door and run out in a panic. He smiled slightly and silently counted a few numbers in his mind.

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

Knock, knock, knock—a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Gu Ye walked over unhurriedly and opened the door.

"Gu Ye, what are you doing here?" Chu Xinglan asked angrily, then added, "You've been spying on me the whole time? You..."

She couldn't possibly use the word "pervert" to describe someone as wonderful as Gu Ye.

"I don't have a habit of spying, it just so happens that my balcony is next to your window." Gu Ye looked at the furious Chu Xinglan and said calmly, "You should be glad that I live next door. If it were someone with bad intentions, with your careless personality, you wouldn't even know if they climbed into your room through your window in the middle of the night."

Hearing Gu Ye's words, Chu Xinglan was shocked. It was indeed terrifying to think about. But wasn't what Gu Ye did considered spying?
