Chapter 184 Ye Xiaoxiao visits Chu Xinglan
"It was Qiu Hong who called me that made me realize your parents had come looking for you."
Gu Ye replied with a smile.
"Sister Hong?" Chu Xinglan turned around and looked at Qiu Hong, who was cleaning.
“I noticed that your parents’ attitude towards you was a bit off, so I called your husband. I don’t know if it was the right thing to do.”
Qiu Hong felt a little embarrassed by Chu Xinglan's gaze and spoke up.
"You did the right thing." Chu Xinglan smiled.
Actually, when she heard that her parents were coming to find her, she had thought about calling Gu Ye, but she was afraid of affecting his work, so she didn't do it. If Qiu Hong hadn't called Gu Ye, she probably would have been forcibly taken away by her parents.
Qiu Hong was relieved to hear Chu Xinglan's words; it seemed she had made the right decision.
“Starting today, I’m giving you a raise. Also, if any strange people come looking for Madam in the future, be sure to tell me in advance,” Gu Ye said to Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong was overjoyed to hear this and quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I've got it."
"Should I have someone call you if I come?"
Just then, Ye Xiaoxiao walked over quickly with a dessert in her hand, and Xue Bai followed behind her, carefully protecting her, afraid that something might happen to her.
When Xue Bai saw Gu Ye's expression, the muscles on his face tightened.
"Boss, Xiaoxiao said Xinglan is bored here all alone, so she asked me to bring her over to keep Lanlan company."
"This is good."
Gu Ye wasn't angry because Ye Xiaoxiao came here, but because of Xue Bai's protective manner towards Ye Xiaoxiao. You know, his Lanlan is also pregnant, and she's even further along than Ye Xiaoxiao. Compared to that, he seems like a beast. Not only is he not worried about Chu Xinglan and the baby in her belly, but he also pesters her every day to try to have sex with her in various positions.
He glanced casually at Ye Xiaoxiao's belly, then at Chu Xinglan's belly.
No wonder he always overlooked Chu Xinglan's pregnancy. Their bellies were completely different. Ye Xiaoxiao's three-month pregnancy was already showing, while Chu Xinglan's four-month pregnancy was still flat. The only difference was a little bit of extra fat on her lower abdomen. People who didn't know would definitely think it was because she was plump. Who would be pregnant? She was pregnant.
"Lanlan, when will your belly start to show?"
Gu Ye touched Chu Xinglan's lower abdomen. He also wanted to be careful and protect her, afraid that she might accidentally fall. But she didn't look pregnant at all, which made him a little jealous of Xue Bai.
"Xinglan, are you pregnant too?" Ye Xiaoxiao quickly caught the important information and excitedly asked, holding Chu Xinglan's hand.
Chu Xinglan nodded slightly.
"How many months?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked again.
“Almost...almost four months.” Chu Xinglan paused for a moment.
"Four months?" Xue Bai and Ye Xiaoxiao looked at each other in surprise, then looked at Chu Xinglan's belly and then at Ye Xiaoxiao's belly.
Ah this?
"You really have been pregnant for four months?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked incredulously.
Chu Xinglan nodded again.
"So you got pregnant the first time?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked incredulously. "The reason you didn't have your period during that time was because of you...?"
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, "Good heavens, they've been keeping this from me all this time!"
Ye Xiaoxiao was so excited that she punched Chu Xinglan, but Gu Ye, who was quick-witted and agile, blocked her, and Ye Xiaoxiao's fist landed on Gu Ye's hand.
Ye Xiaoxiao was surprised and somewhat frightened by Gu Ye's appearance.
Xue Bai quickly shielded his wife.
"Boss, Xiaoxiao is just a little agitated; she means no harm."
Chu Xinglan looked at the three of them and couldn't help but chuckle. She opened Gu Ye's hand, took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, and said apologetically, "There were some special circumstances at that time that I couldn't tell you."
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Xinglan and then at Gu Ye, looking like she understood.
"Since we both get pregnant around the same time, how about we get married?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was so happy that she had no worries at all.
"Hey, this..." Xue Bai coughed lightly. He wasn't bold enough to dare to marry his boss.
"Okay." Chu Xinglan looked at her daughter.
The little baby stood beside them, staring blankly at the people talking.
"It's settled then." Ye Xiaoxiao had only said it casually, but she didn't expect Chu Xinglan to agree, so she happily confirmed it.
Seeing the two women thus decide on the future of their unborn child, Xue Bai didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He glanced at Gu Ye, and to his surprise, Gu Ye didn't object.
“Then you’ll have to have a son. Mine is a precious princess,” Gu Ye said with a smile.
"Huh?" Ye Xiaoxiao and Xue Bai both looked at Gu Ye. After a long while, Ye Xiaoxiao said, "How can you be sure it's a daughter? What if it's a son?"
"Of course I know it's a precious daughter," Gu Ye said confidently.
How could he not know? His daughter with Lanlan was right beside him, but apart from Chu Xinglan, he couldn't see her like everyone else. And he did know that Ye Xiaoxiao later gave birth to a lovely son.
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but Xue Bai grabbed her arm. He said mysteriously to Ye Xiaoxiao, "Whatever the boss says goes. He seems to have the ability to predict the future. At first, I didn't believe it, but then he told me that you were my future wife, and I actually married you. Isn't that amazing?"
"Is that so?" Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Ye seriously, still somewhat skeptical.
Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan vaguely heard Xue Bai's words, and both of them suppressed their laughter.
What foresight? It's just that they lived two more lifetimes than them.
"Xiaoxiao, you have to be my bridesmaid on my wedding day," Chu Xinglan said to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Of course!" Ye Xiaoxiao said as if there was no problem, then looked at Chu Xinglan's belly and then at her own.
"I really envy you. You're four months pregnant and acting like nothing's wrong. I'm even having trouble walking now."
"What's there to envy? I think you're great. Look at how Assistant Xue gets nervous every time you go."
Hearing what Chu Xinglan said, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile happily.
Indeed, if Gu Ye hadn't refused to give him leave, he would have wanted to stick to her all day long, taking care of her personally, just in case she hurt herself.
"You mean you're blaming me for not being as concerned about you as Xue Bai was?" Gu Ye pulled Chu Xinglan into his arms and whispered in her ear.
"I didn't!" Chu Xinglan's ears turned slightly red, and she quickly pushed Gu Ye away.
"Don't you still have to work? Xiaoxiao is fine with me."
"Yes, Xue Bai, you should go ahead and get busy too." Ye Xiaoxiao urged Xue Bai quickly. She also wanted to have a private talk with Chu Xinglan, and it wasn't appropriate to have a man present.
Gu Ye smiled, turned around and glanced at Xue Bai, his meaning quite clear.
Xue Bai, somewhat reluctant to part, repeatedly gave Ye Xiaoxiao his instructions.
"Xiaoxiao, don't walk too fast, don't carry heavy things, take care of yourself."
