The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 183: Is Yuanyuan Feeling Sorry for Me?

But the more this happened, the stronger Wen Bo’s desire to acquire the Gu Group became.

Once he had control of it, the first person he wanted to destroy was Gu Yuan.

He quickly calmed down and softened his tone with Gu Yuan, "This was my oversight, your uncle didn’t think it through and upset you, that’s my fault. I apologize and hope you can calm down."

"Uncle, you’re too polite. How could I be angry? I’m just reminding you to know your place before you speak to me."

With those words.

Gu Yuan was the first to hang up on Wen Bo.

It wasn’t hard to imagine how enraged Wen Bo must be now after his plan backfired.

Hearing the busy tone from his phone, Wen Bo gritted his teeth and grabbed a billiard cue beside him, "Threaten me? Who the hell do you think you are, Gu Yuan! This isn’t over. If I don’t get revenge, I won’t be Wen."

The person next to him bent down to pick up the cue Wen Bo had thrown away, "If you’re angry, fine. But why take it out on a cue?"

Wen Bo turned off his phone screen, tossed it aside, and leaned on the retrieved cue, saying, "We’ve broken up, and she’s still pulling this dramatic love-hate routine."

The person next to him asked, "Does she care that much about this ex-boyfriend?"

Wen Bo sneered in response.

The person offered a suggestion, "Gu Yuan’s ex-boyfriend is actually quite useful. Not only can you use him to get back at her for the detention center grudge, but he can also pave the way for you to take down the Gu Group in one fell swoop."

Wen Bo’s eyes lit up, "You’re brilliant."

...

Inside the car.

Gu Yuan put away her phone and looked down at Chi Yu.

She happened to meet Chi Yu’s clear eyes. She didn’t know when he had woken up, nor how long he had been quietly watching and listening to her call.

Gu Yuan showed no embarrassment and pulled him up, "You’re awake."

"Yeah." His voice was full of exhaustion.

"When did you wake up?"

Chi Yu replied honestly, "Just now."

His voice was a bit hoarse, and the sound that came out wasn’t pleasant. Chi Yu didn’t want Gu Yuan to hear his unpleasant voice, yet he wanted to say many things to her, making his expression look a bit comical in its conflict.

Gu Yuan ignored his unnatural expression and didn’t ask what he had heard.

In contrast, Chi Yu leaned closer and said, "Yuanyuan, I heard your call with Wen Bo just now."

The normal reaction would be to ask: So what did you hear?

Gu Yuan’s reaction was, "Do you want to get out of the car?"

"No!" He immediately shook his head.

The shake of his head was too vigorous, and he bit his lip with a soft hiss. Gu Yuan watched him press his hand to his temple and gently massage it.

He indeed looked thinner and thinner.

Seeing him in such a state, Gu Yuan’s brows softened involuntarily, not as aloof as before, "Haven’t you eaten?"

"...Huh?" He looked confused.

His dazed look made Gu Yuan find it amusing.

"Chi Yu, you’ve lost a lot of weight," Gu Yuan said.

Chi Yu slowly lowered his hand, trying to get closer to her, "Is Yuanyuan feeling sorry for me?"

"No, I’m pitying you."

"..."

The next second, Chi Yu’s attempt to get closer turned into a quick squeeze towards her. He tucked his head into her embrace, pressing his entire body against her, trying to recreate the scene from earlier where his head rested on her legs.

Gu Yuan: "..."

Old Bai, who was driving in front: "..." Look away, look away! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gu Yuan calmly pushed the squeezing Chi Yu away, warning him, "You better behave, or else you’ll have to get out."

"I’m not getting out!" He insistently leaned over.

Gu Yuan pressed her palm against his chest, but couldn’t push him away. His chest was firm, and through the fabric, she could feel its scorching heat, suddenly finding it a little hot to the touch.

Gu Yuan discreetly withdrew her hand, "Don’t try those tricks in front of me, I don’t like it, do you hear me?"

Laying that out, Chi Yu stopped moving.

His fear was that Yuanyuan might really throw him out, robbing him of the chance to be with her. This opportunity tonight was rare indeed.

Yet the inner turmoil kept pushing against Chi Yu’s rationality.

Beside him was the person he loved most.

The sweet scent lingered just at his nose, burning away his rationality and fueling his intense longing.

Chi Yu’s nose twitched, his body slightly leaning back as if unintentionally letting out a faint sigh, accompanied by a shallow nasal tone, like a solitary pluck of a string, gently rippling across the heart.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly as he murmured almost like a sigh, "Yuanyuan, I’m not feeling well, my heart feels anxious, it must be an after-effect of the earlier car accident, feel my heartbeat, it’s so fast."

Gu Yuan: "..."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand, trying to take hold of Gu Yuan’s hand to let her feel his heartbeat.

This wasn’t the first time she’d seen Chi Yu play such tricks on her. Gu Yuan thought to herself, she really could see right through him. To avoid letting him succeed, she placed her hand by the window, out of Chi Yu’s reach.

Chi Yu, settling for next best, leaned on Gu Yuan’s shoulder, "Yuanyuan, I’m dying."

Every word was sincere.

But to Gu Yuan, it was just another of his little tricks. Though her shoulder didn’t move, she kept her voice cool, reminding him, "Words once spoken, I intend to stick to them, so think it over."

Chi Yu immediately lifted his head.

His expression was controlled, and he moved away from her.

Only when the fragrance from Gu Yuan was at a distance did Chi Yu’s internal agitation calm down a little.

He said, "Thank you, Yuanyuan."

Gu Yuan accepted the thanks, "You’re welcome. Next time, remember to use your brain when you go out. Someone has their hazard lights on and you just get in the car, without even questioning the last digits of your phone number, what’s your brain for?"

Unexpectedly, Chi Yu gave Gu Yuan an unexpected answer, "I’m a love-struck fool, usually not that smart."

He even used an earnest tone, "So my brain is for falling in love."

Gu Yuan glanced sideways at him, "Then your colorful romantic history must be quite rich."

"My romantic history has only been with Yuanyuan, not colorful at all, just one color belonging to Yuanyuan, a color I really like." While speaking, Chi Yu raised his head, his Adam’s apple prominent, and with a slight turn, his eyes met hers, a layer of mist in his eyes, the corner tinged with a faint red...

He clearly had an air of restraint about him, but in front of Gu Yuan, he completely revealed his roguish side, almost eager to undress for her to see.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, locking her eyes shut to rest, unwilling to argue further.

Little did she know, as soon as she closed her eyes, the unruly figure sidled up again.

She opened her eyes, clearly irritated, ordering him, "Move over."

"I won’t." This time he actually defied her order, stubbornly sticking close.
