Chapter 135 I Must Become Stronger
"Did she come with that man?" Shirley asked calmly.
Mao Wu turned his head and glanced at Mao Liu.
Mao Liu wasn't sure either, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know either, but I saw that she came alone, without any men with her."
"As long as it's not that man, this woman is nothing to worry about."
Shirley breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't you say that man treated us like that just to avenge this woman?"
Mao Wu was puzzled; why was she no longer a threat?
"This woman is weak; the real danger is that man. Fortunately, it wasn't him who came; you're lucky."
"So what should we do now?"
"You should leave here quickly. Since this woman was able to find us, the man couldn't have found your place easily either. Before he makes a move, you should leave the village immediately."
"it is good!"
Mao Liu couldn't wait any longer and ran into the house to grab his valuables and make a run for it.
After hanging up the phone, Mao Wu and Shirley immediately got to work.
After returning home, Chu Xinglan practiced relentlessly, knowing she had to become stronger so she could take revenge.
"Lanlan, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Gu Ye sensed that something was wrong with Chu Xinglan.
"Gu Ye, I want to learn martial arts, a quick-learning martial arts technique!" Chu Xinglan excitedly ran up to Gu Ye.
She knew that Gu Ye made her practice hitting the sandbag every day because he didn't want her to suffer too much, but she didn't want to be a delicate flower in a greenhouse. She wanted to grow tenaciously like a weed.
Gu Ye was stunned for a moment. Facing Chu Xinglan's burning gaze, he sighed softly.
He stood with his hands behind his back, one hand outstretched.
"Attack me!"
Chu Xinglan paused, glancing at Gu Ye's waist.
"Is it okay?" She was worried that it might hurt her.
"Come here."
Chu Xinglan clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and roared as she charged toward Gu Ye.
Before she could even touch Gu Ye, he easily knocked her to the ground with a deft touch. Just as she was about to fall heavily to the ground, Gu Ye turned around and used his body as a cushion to support her.
Chu Xinglan was tightly protected by Gu Ye, so she did not suffer any injury.
Gu Ye frowned as Chu Xinglan pressed down on his injured area.
"Let me fall!" Chu Xinglan almost shouted these words. She didn't want to be protected by Gu Ye anymore. She couldn't rely on him for the rest of her life!
Gu Ye had no choice but to suppress his reluctance and repeatedly throw Chu Xinglan to the ground. Chu Xinglan gritted her teeth and endured the intense pain from being knocked to the ground.
"Okay, baby, let's rest for a while!"
Gu Ye held Chu Xinglan tightly in his arms. His heart was aching more than if he himself were injured.
"Again, again..."
Chu Xinglan, held in Gu Ye's arms, spoke stubbornly.
For several days in a row, Chu Xinglan fell down countless times and got up again.
Every time the night was quiet, she would be in so much pain that tears would stream down her face, and her body felt as if every part of it was being cut by a knife.
Gu Ye hugged her again, holding her tightly in his arms.
If he could, he would rather take her pain in her place, but he couldn't persuade her; once she made up her mind, it would never change.
"Much better, it doesn't hurt so much anymore." After a long, long time, Chu Xinglan suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
The bright moonlight bathed the two of them as they sat nestled together on the bed, Gu Ye's eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
"In the first few days... I felt like I was going through purgatory. Then, gradually, the pain in my body got weaker and weaker. Now... I feel like I've been reborn."
As Chu Xinglan finished speaking, she raised her head and turned to look at Gu Ye.
"You've been reborn, but you're tearing my flesh apart," Gu Ye said in a hoarse voice.
Chu Xinglan turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Then I'll make it up to you!"
Gu Ye's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
He leaned down and kissed Chu Xinglan, the kiss growing more intense until he finally pinned Chu Xinglan to the bed.
Chu Xinglan struggled to break free.
"Gu Ye... went too far."
She just wanted him to kiss her. If she didn't want to offer herself to him, she would have known better than to ignite his passion. Did he even want his waist back?
"Is this compensation for me? Or punishment?" Gu Ye sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"It's your own fault for being indecisive, it has nothing to do with me." Chu Xinglan, like a mischievous fairy, playfully climbed out of bed with a smile, turned around and ran out of the bedroom.
"I have an unsettled mind?" Gu Ye smiled wryly. It was clearly the little vixen who was too alluring, yet she said he had an unsettled mind?!
The next morning, Chu Xinglan dressed early and, upon seeing Gu Ye approach, bowed respectfully to him, saying, "Coach Gu, please give me your guidance!"
Gu Ye flicked Chu Xinglan's forehead lightly with his finger.
"No practice today," Gu Ye said in an unusually gentle voice.
"Why?" Chu Xinglan asked in surprise.
"You forgot, today is Xue Bai and Ye Xiaoxiao's wedding day," Gu Ye said with a slight smile.
Chu Xinglan then realized that she had completely forgotten such an important matter. She slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no, I haven't prepared a dress yet. I can't possibly attend the wedding dressed like this, can I?"
Chu Xinglan frowned. This was terrible; they even forgot Ye Xiaoxiao's wedding.
"You don't need to blame yourself. I already had the dress prepared for you." Gu Ye smiled as he looked at Chu Xinglan.
"You?" Chu Xinglan looked incredulous. "Haven't you been with me the whole time?"
"I don't need to make the trip myself for this kind of thing. It's just a matter of making a phone call."
Gu Ye gently stroked her nose, smiling indulgently.
"Yes, I forgot you're the big boss. Even if you're far away, you can still control a huge company with one hand." Chu Xinglan glared at Gu Ye defiantly, seeing how he was trembling. In front of him, she was like a child.
Xue Bai and Ye Xiaoxiao's wedding was a grand affair, with many business tycoons attending. It's unclear whether they came out of respect for Gu Ye or because Xue Bai himself was so capable.
"I'm not the main character today, so just make me invisible."
When Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan appeared, the big shots all fawned over Gu Ye, and only left after Gu Ye finished speaking.
Chu Xinglan stood nervously beside Gu Ye, not because she was afraid of the scene, but because she was afraid of running into acquaintances, especially her parents. If they found out that she was with Gu Ye, it would be very troublesome.
When she arrived, she had no idea that it was just a wedding, but that so many business tycoons would be there.
"Your parents aren't on the invitation list," Gu Ye whispered, seemingly noticing her worry.
Hearing Gu Ye say that, Chu Xinglan was relieved. She looked at Ye Xiaoxiao in her snow-white wedding dress, who was incredibly beautiful. As her friend, Chu Xinglan quickly ran over and hugged Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, you're so beautiful!"
