Chapter 98: Chapter 75: A Man’s Virtue Must Still Be Upheld

The living room revealed a view.

Gu Yan seemed to have just returned from exercising, wearing slightly tight sportswear.

The most crucial thing was.

One could vaguely make out the abs wrapped under his clothes.

Ye Xiao was dumbstruck.

[Abs! I actually saw living abs!]

Gu Yan raised his head, “Xiaoxiao, you’re drooling.”

Ye Xiao wiped the corners of her mouth in a bit of a panic.

However, there was nothing there!

She couldn’t help but give Gu Yan a glare.

There was no drool at all.

Gu Yan calmly said, “I mean, are you hungry? I’ve prepared breakfast.”

Ye Xiao coughed lightly, suddenly acting a bit coy, “I am a little hungry. But I don’t eat much, just a little will do.”

“Okay.” Gu Yan went to the kitchen, and set the table with an array of delicious dishes.

Ye Xiao struggled to say, “I… I have a small appetite.”

Gu Yan nodded, “I know. For instance, you have a tiny appetite for crystal dumplings, you can eat one crystal dumpling. But your appetite for crab roe buns has not been satisfied yet, you can eat another crab roe bun. And then there’s also…”

Gu Yan listed them one by one.

Ye Xiao nodded her head repeatedly.

If you put it that way.

It indeed made sense.

With so many delicacies in this world, how could one casually disappoint them?

In her former life, because she needed to maintain her figure, she had dared not eat carelessly.

While drinking vegetable juice, she also brainwashed herself, claiming it was an absolute delicacy.

In this life.

The original Ye Xiao hadn’t lived well, being too frail, and Director Li had even asked her to put on some weight.

So.

For the sake of Director Li’s request.

She could only reluctantly eat a bit more.

Ye Xiao immediately began eating without any psychological burden.

“This.”

“Try this too.”

Gu Yan did not eat himself, just kept serving her the good stuff.

“Thank you.” Ye Xiao unconsciously looked up again and caught sight of Gu Yan’s faintly visible abs.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but lightly slap her own face, feeling a pang of guilt wash over her.

[With such a table full of delicious food! How could I still be looking at abs! Shame on me!]

Ye Xiao lowered her head, immediately concentrating.

As important as beauty is.

Delicious food is even more important.

Gu Yan fell silent.

Did he… make a mistake?

Take the wrong approach?

Footsteps echoed from the staircase, and the others came downstairs too.

Gu Yan grabbed his coat and put it on.

Abs and such should not be seen by others. It’s only right to preserve some male virtue.

“Gu Yan!” Ye Bolin squinted his eyes: “Why haven’t you left yet!”

“What kind of way is that to speak!” Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru came back from their walk.

Du Yaru immediately glared at Ye Bolin.

Ye Bolin felt his mood sour.

Had mom and dad timed this?

Ye Bolin realized something.

His parents seemed to be trying to set up Gu Yan and Xiaoxiao.

But this Gu Yan, this old man! He’s absolutely not suitable for Xiaoxiao!

Ye Bolin roared inwardly.

“Sorry, did I get up too late?” Liu Yan said with a hint of embarrassment.

“Not at all, not at all, Sister Liu, come and have a seat, today’s breakfast is especially delicious.” Ye Xiao greeted warmly.

Liu Yan smiled and sat down.

Ye Bolin glanced at the items on the table and narrowed his eyes.

Of course, it’s delicious.

Today’s spread.

Included almost all of Luo City’s famous breakfast delicacies.

One would have to run around the entire city to buy all of these, right?

Ye Bolin couldn’t help but glance at Gu Yan.

The efforts of his good friend were becoming more and more obvious.

It seemed that a serious talk with him was in order.

Everyone was enjoying the breakfast while casually chatting.

“Sister Liu, what’s the situation with La Jingzhou?” Ye Xiao asked.

Liu Yan raised an eyebrow: “Last night, Bai Shilan confessed everything at the police station. There is both testimonial and physical evidence, if the Liu Family sues, he’s definitely going in.”

“So is the Liu Family going to sue?” Ye Xiao asked curiously.

The storyline of Bai Shilan had been thoroughly messed up and couldn’t produce new content.

This was probably because.

Liu Yan herself hadn’t decided how to deal with it yet.

The decision-making power was entirely in Liu Yan’s hands now, and her actions would determine La Jingzhou’s ending.

Liu Yan squinted her eyes: “My parents are also on their way to Luo City by plane. When the time comes, a lawsuit will naturally follow if deemed necessary, and there are also hidden dangers at Huanyu waiting to explode. Once the investigation results are out, he’ll face multiple charges, and he’ll definitely have to spend a good amount of time behind bars. However, as his deeply in love fiancée, I won’t give up on him that easily. Even if he goes to prison, I’ll wait for him without any regrets and, incidentally, help manage the La Family’s assets to ensure he can serve his time with peace of mind.”

As Liu Yan spoke, the corners of her mouth revealed a very gentle smile.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder.

The love-struck sister was really standing her ground.

Not to mention Liu Yan’s capability, even if she were completely incompetent, just by her no longer blindly trusting La Jingzhou, his progress would definitely suffer without the support of the Liu Family.

Ye Bolin looked at Liu Yan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

If he had to say, he felt a real resonance with her.

Both had been deceived for a long time by those they had wholeheartedly trusted.

Now, they were both awake to reality.

Some might say,

“The past is in the past, so be a little more forgiving and choose to forgive.”

But Ye Bolin didn’t see it that way.

The events had passed.

But had the pain they caused passed as well?

He didn’t care what others thought; he was determined to exact an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

If Liu Yan were the indecisive type, swayed by emotions, Ye Bolin might not have been willing to cooperate with her.

Such a person would only hold him back.

But now.

Seeing Liu Yan’s handling of the situation.

He was reassured.

Only such allies could be comforting.

After Liu Yan finished speaking, Ye Xiao felt that the story was slowly starting to generate subsequent plots.

It was producing them a bit slowly, so she would wait for more content before taking a close look.

If the male and female leads’ halo suddenly activated, she still had the opportunity to edit, ready to turn chaos into order.

In any case!

The writing of this book’s ending had finally faded so much.

She absolutely couldn’t let La Jingzhou rise again.

As long as La Jingzhou is kept down, Bai Shilan will pose no threat either.

After eating a little, Liu Yan wiped the corners of her mouth: “I plan to go to the police station to see my beloved fiancé. I love him so much; with him in this situation, I am certainly heartbroken and suffering deeply. I must go and see him for myself.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up: “I don’t have class today; I want to go too, I want to go.”

“Xiaoxiao,” Ye Bolin looked at her helplessly.

Xiaoxiao was blatantly excited to gossip, at least try to hide it a bit.

But Liu Yan didn’t care, she smiled and said, “Sure, let’s go together. Oh right, Xiaoxiao, do you have any cosmetics? I’m worried my acting might not be convincing enough, so I plan to use makeup to achieve a haggard appearance.”

“I have them, I’m good at makeup, I’ll help you, Sister Liu,” Ye Xiao hurriedly said.

The two girls happily went upstairs, chatting and laughing.

Ye Bolin couldn’t help but glance at Gu Yan and said without mincing words: “You’ve stayed overnight and had breakfast. Mr. Gu…”

Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru both looked at Ye Bolin.

With a forced change of topic, Ye Bolin gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Gu, my good friend, your company must have a lot of business to attend to, right? Feel free to take care of your own matters.”

Gu Yan smiled slightly: “No rush. You should know that the best legal team in Quanxia Country is at Gu Family. I’ve already given orders, and the legal team from Gu Family will assist the Liu Family with this lawsuit. And when Director Liu and Mrs. Liu arrive, I will need to talk to them as well.”

“Really? You’re staying to wait for Director Liu and Mrs. Liu?” Ye Bolin’s tone became somewhat sarcastic.

Gu Yan remained unruffled: “Otherwise?”

Their gazes met in mid-air, as if charged with a storm of unspoken words.
