Chapter 17: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (7)
The water flowed smoothly, and the feverish head finally returned to normal under the stimulation of the ice water.
Looking at her slightly red ears in the mirror, Le Yan covered her face and wailed.
What the hell is going on?!
Figures appeared before her eyes. Le Yan calmed herself down, and some illogical guesses came to mind.
There is definitely something wrong with this world.
If she had a stunningly beautiful face, it would be one thing if she had many suitors, since they could at least be blamed on lust at first sight.
But the truth is that she only has an ordinary face, and you can't even find her in a crowd.
How could someone as ordinary as her attract people like Gu Yunting, Shen Mubai, You Wenwen, and Jiang Wandie?
Having read countless books, Le Yan suddenly thought of the most popular characters in the novel world—that kind of aura that attracts people to like them. What if such a thing really existed?
You see, she also has a book in her mind, a book that tells the story of this world.
Although Le Yan didn't want to believe that the world she lived in was such an absurd thing as a book, the current situation seemed to leave her no choice but to believe it.
If this were truly a world within a book, then the kind of "charming aura" that attracts everyone might actually exist.
Le Yan calmed down and thought it over carefully. She only believed the guess to a certain extent, not completely, but she did not rule out the possibility.
But if you ask her to act as bait just to confirm this possibility, then forget it.
Le Yan took a deep breath. She felt much more relaxed now. As long as she pushed all these messy things to other places, she could calmly continue living her life.
Anyway, the fault lies with others, with the world, with everything, but not with her.
Le Yan, who always avoids internal conflict, smiled at the mirror and regained her energy.
She left the restroom feeling relaxed. When she returned to the private room, she saw Gu and Shen sitting silently facing each other like strangers. The atmosphere in the room was still somewhat stagnant, as if something had happened while she was away.
"You're back." Gu Yunting stood up, picked up Le Yan's bag, and said to her, "Shall we go?"
Leyan was naturally more than happy to be allowed to leave.
She glanced at Shen Mubai, who was sitting calmly, before leaving with Gu Yunting.
"Yun Ting, did you two have a conflict just now?"
"No, don't overthink it," Gu Yunting replied calmly.
It wasn't a contradiction at all; he was just warning Shen Mubai to stop having designs on Le Yan.
Can this be considered a contradiction? No.
He was simply defending his love in the right way.
Le Yan nodded with some doubt before changing the subject and saying, "Yun Ting, I'm a little tired. Will you take me home?"
So much happened today, she was exhausted and just wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep; she didn't have the energy to continue dating.
Gu Yunting did as she asked, and after dropping her off at home, he drove back to the company.
If the date is canceled, then the work will continue.
As the car drove along the highway, Gu Yunting gripped the steering wheel with some irritation. The thought of so many people trying to poach his girlfriend made him feel bad.
Especially those who attempt to become a third party, both men and women.
Gu Yunting's mood worsened.
He slowed down slightly, opened the window, and let the biting cold wind lash his cheeks, which finally made him feel a little better.
Unexpectedly, a black SUV suddenly rushed out from the side, accelerating wildly, and crashed straight into him.
In that instant, Gu Yunting had no time to think and could only swerve the steering wheel, crashing into the guardrail on one side. The SUV that couldn't stop in time crashed directly into several large trees, its front end deformed and its body also suffering considerable damage.
The car accident happened so suddenly that Gu Yunting narrowly avoided it, and his face was as black as ink.
He didn't get out of the car directly, but first made a phone call to call someone over before looking fiercely at the black SUV.
Someone wants him dead; it's either a business rival or a romantic rival.
Gu Yunting closed his eyes slightly, lost in thought, and skipped through the candidates in his mind, finally settling on a few people.
No one, not even a chance to live.
Zhang Ze arrived quickly with his men. Gu Yunting got out of the car, handed the car keys to Zhang Ze, and said, "This was a premeditated murder. Find out who did it."
"Yes, Mr. Gu." Zhang Ze's expression was serious. He waved his hand, and a lawyer went to negotiate with the police.
Gu Yunting did not stay at the scene, but left directly. His luxury car with the license plate number 88 went straight in and out, and the police turned a blind eye.
That's how the Gu family is.

"Ding Dong"
The doorbell rang, and Le Yan, who had changed into her pajamas and was about to go to sleep, tilted her head slightly. "Who is it?"
"Yan Yan, it's me."
Rong Jing's voice rang out, and Le Yan hurriedly went to open the door, "Senior? How did you know I was home?"
"Look how foolish you are! You went in without even taking the keys. What if a bad guy had taken them if I hadn't come back just in time?"
Swinging the keys in his hand, Rong Jing shook his head helplessly.
Le Yan then slapped her forehead, scratching her head in regret, "What a jerk of mine!"
She reached out and took the keys, smiling as she thanked him, "Thanks so much, senior. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Then I'll be waiting." Rong Jing didn't refuse, but agreed directly.
Finally, he asked, "By the way, it's Wednesday today, shouldn't you be at work? Why are you back?"
It was obviously not appropriate to talk while standing at the door, so Leyan invited him in and said, "I wasn't feeling well today, so I took the day off to rest."
She couldn't tell Rong Jing directly what had happened, so she had to use a different story.
She had overlooked Rong Jing's concern for her. As soon as she said she wasn't feeling well, Rong Jing's hand immediately touched her forehead. "Not feeling well? Where do you feel unwell? Do you have a fever or a cold? Is it a headache?"
Faced with a barrage of questions, Rong Jing anxiously grabbed Le Yan's hand and tried to take her out, saying, "No, we should go see a doctor."
Completely unprepared for his strong reaction, Le Yan was pulled a few steps by him, and only came to her senses when they were almost at the door.
She quickly stopped and said, "No, no, I just haven't had enough sleep, so I'm not feeling well. I don't need to see a doctor!"
Rong Jing frowned. "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"
"Really, it's not necessary!" Le Yan practically swore an oath to the heavens.
Rong Jing was finally relieved and said, "Alright then, I won't disturb your rest. Get some sleep, recharge, and don't stay up late anymore."
"Okay, I know. Senior, you're so long-winded, just like my mom."
"That's because I care about you!"
Reaching out to rub Le Yan's head, Rong Jing just wanted to teach this ungrateful girl a lesson so she would know what was what.
"Okay, remember to turn off your phone so you don't get woken up again. Go to sleep."
