I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Younger brother? Servant? Friend?

still is……

Gu Yuqing's mind echoed with Chen Ya's words again—

"I really like Gu Yuqing."

Break free from your self-imposed constraints.

At this moment, Gu Yuqing suddenly felt very calm. In the past twenty years of her life, she seemed to have never been so clear-headed.

"He is my sex partner."

An angry voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

Gu Yuqing handed the phone back to Liu Ting and said, "I'm done asking."

Her expression suggested that nothing had happened.

Liu Ting took the phone with trembling hands, held it up to her ear, and heard Jiang Xinhai's furious voice, like a lioness, quickly reaching her ears.

"How dare he do this! Where's Liu Ting! Find him right now, nail him to this spot, and don't let him go anywhere. I'm coming to settle accounts with him right now!!"

Gu Yuqing calmly turned to Gu Zongyan, whose face was filled with astonishment. Behind him, Wen Shujing stared at her with an unpleasant expression.

"You have disgraced the Gu family and utterly ruined the family's reputation."

Gu Yuqing didn't say anything, and even wanted to laugh.

“For what happened today, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to kick you out,” Wen Shujing said. “You’re not worthy of the surname Gu.”

"It doesn't matter," Gu Yuqing shrugged. "Whatever."

Just then, Chen Ya walked over from not far away, apparently having finished getting some fresh air.

Seeing everyone looking at him with strange expressions, Chen Ya felt a little odd.

Gu Yuqing, in particular, had eyes as deep as a crater lake.

"I just spoke to Jiang Xinhai on the phone," Gu Yuqing said to him, emphasizing each word. "I heard you're her first love?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chengxi and the others standing to the side all held their breath.

Chen Ya paused for a moment, then nodded, a little guilty, and said, "Yes..."

"Then why did you say you liked me?" Gu Yuqing tilted her head, a smile on her face that was somewhat frightening.

"Can't I like you if I like her?" Chen Ya casually uttered a very scummy remark.

"Come here." Gu Yuqing beckoned with her finger, then put her arm around his neck.

"As an original shareholder of Beichen, I remember that in addition to the shares, I had another privilege: I could order you around ten times at will. You still have eight chances left, right?"

Chen Ya nodded, his nose filled with her fragrance: "That's right."

"Okay, take me away from here quickly," Gu Yuqing said. "I don't want to stay here anymore."

“Okay.” Chen Ya didn’t waste any words, which made Gu Yuqing very happy.

“I really like these high heels,” Gu Yuqing whispered in his ear, “They’ll definitely break if I run in them, so you can’t let them break.”

"Gu Yuqing," Wen Shujing said, "what exactly do you want to do!"

"Quick! Run!" Gu Yuqing slapped Chen Ya on the back, and he bent down, picked her up, and ran away.

Chen Ya carrying Gu Yuqing and running away became the most memorable scene of the entire coming-of-age ceremony, and the guests all stood up to watch.

Unfortunately, it ran too fast and disappeared in no time, leaving many people disappointed that they didn't get to see it.

"Don't ever come back to this house if you leave!" Wen Shujing shouted shrilly at the other end of the line.

After shouting, she returned to Gu Zongyan, whose expression was slightly dejected, and frowned, saying:

"Honey, say something!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from the other end of the crowd.

Everyone turned around and saw Ge Dongzhen from the pearl factory shoving Cai Zhenyi (or rather, Gu Zhenyi) out, shouting:

"You've ruined me! You bastard, go to hell!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he punched Cai Zhenyi, who fell to the ground, knocking over a crystal table and scattering glass everywhere, causing the guests to scream.

Gu Zongyan stared blankly at the farce, his mind completely blank, and simply chuckled twice before saying:

"Haha, whatever!"

Is Chapter 401 coming to an end?

The pale moon in the sky indiscriminately cast its gentle light upon the world, just as it had at this time a few years ago, just as it had at that banquet.

Qin Yunchu and Liu Ruying listened intently to Gu Yuqing's story, somewhat lost in thought.

They had never imagined that Chen Ya and Gu Yuqing had such a past.

"So that's how 'friends with benefits' come about," Lu Qingxuan exclaimed. "At first, it sounded quite horrifying, but now it feels rather exhilarating..."

“But I still don’t quite understand,” Qin Yun Chu said. “If it’s clearly not that kind of relationship, why say it like that? Wouldn’t that cause others to…misunderstanding?”

Gu Yuqing looked at Qin Yunchu with amusement and said, "My darling, your family must treat you very well."

Qin Yun Chu blushed and said, "Yes, it's fine. What's wrong?"

“So you can’t understand that feeling,” Gu Yuqing shrugged. “I just don’t want to be a good girl anymore. Although I wasn’t a good girl to begin with.”

Qin Yun Chu's face turned even redder. She secretly wondered to herself, was Gu Yu Qing implying that she was a good girl?

Liu Ruying could understand Gu Yuqing quite well.

She empathized with Gu Yuqing, and even felt that her own experience was extremely similar to Gu Yuqing's.

Both were in awkward positions at home, both met Chen Ya, and both had the opportunity to escape their families...

Listening to stories from the past from the present moment feels like stepping into another world.

I always feel that the people in the story don't quite match the people in front of me now.

But it's true that both Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya have grown from their naive selves back then into who they are today.

Even Gu Yuqing, the CEO of Yunshan, the pinnacle of a powerful woman, must have grown up from a little girl like this back then.

Beichen Corporation, a giant company spanning the internet, entertainment, technology, energy, logistics, infrastructure, automobiles and other fields, once grew from a small company that was looked down upon to what it is today.

However, both Bei Chen and Gu Yuqing are now too powerful, which makes it seem unbelievable that they were treated that way back then.

"Um..."

Xia You, lying on the bed, mumbled something and turned over.

She didn't seem very interested in Gu Yuqing's story and fell asleep halfway through; she's probably still dreaming now.

“By the way,” Lu Qingxuan suddenly said, “Xia Longju’s daughter, that hacker genius, is she… Xia You?”

Gu Yuqing glanced at Xia You on the bed and said, "Yes, but I still don't know how Chen Ya managed to abduct her."

Lu Qingxuan looked somewhat dazed: "Back then, she was only in junior high school, right?"

Liu Ruying turned her back and chuckled to herself.

So, the same way they lured Gu Yuqing away, they lured Xia You away.

Xia You, lying on the bed, quietly opened one eye, then quickly closed it again, making two or three murmurs as she continued to pretend to be asleep.

The banquet that day was held at Jiang Xinhai's family estate... She went there too.

I even ran into Chen Ya.

That day, she was dressed up as a cute girl in a princess-style dress and was even mocked by Chen Ya.

So she plans to seal this memory away and never let anyone know about it in her lifetime.

"And then what happened?" Liu Ruying asked somewhat anxiously. "Later, how did you establish the Yunshan Group, and why didn't you stay with Chen Ya afterward?"

Liu Ruying was particularly concerned about what would happen next, because she felt that Gu Yuqing's experience would be very helpful for her own future path in life.

"And then..."

Gu Yuqing drawled out her words, crossed her legs, and gazed at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Her smooth, long legs beneath the bathrobe gleamed white under the light.

"later……"

……

Gu Yuqing felt warm and safe in Chen Ya's arms.

She hooked her arms around his neck, hanging on him like a child, her eyes fixed on his face.

"What did you do?" Chen Ya asked as he ran. "Their expressions were like they'd seen a ghost."

"I didn't do anything?" Gu Yuqing said.

"Are you being chased?" Chen Ya asked. "Otherwise, why would you be running?"

"I just made a phone call to Jiang Xinhai."

Chen Ya stumbled and almost fell.

"What did you say?" Chen Ya asked, feeling a little guilty.

“She didn’t say anything, just greeted her,” Gu Yuqing said. “She said she was your first love.”

Chen Ya's expression turned serious.

"Jiang Xinhai and I...we did indeed date. I admit, my relationship with her wasn't explained clearly, but what I'm telling you..."

"You don't need to explain anything to me." Gu Yuqing pressed her finger to his lips. "I don't want to hear it, at least not today. You can tell me later."

"Well……"

Gu Yuqing is truly a person who is very true to herself.

She likes the current atmosphere very much, and even though she knows the truth will ruin it, she would rather not have the truth.

"She asked me what our relationship was," Gu Yuqing said.

"What did you say?" Chen Ya asked nervously.

“I told her, you’re my sex partner,” Gu Yuqing said.

Chen Ya stumbled and almost knocked Gu Yuqing to the ground.

Gu Yuqing giggled.

Not wanting the truth doesn't mean I won't play a prank on him.

Otherwise, I'd be too unhappy.

“She believed it,” Gu Yuqing said. “Besides, my family was there at the time, and now everyone knows you’re my one-night stand.”

Gu Yuqing laughed heartily, and Chen Ya felt that there was a hint of madness in her laughter.

"What should we do then? Where do we go next?" Chen Ya asked.

Chen Ya slowed his pace; he felt it was pointless to run anymore.

He's already socially dead, what's the point of running away? Tomorrow morning when he wakes up, he'll have to live with the tragic reputation of being "Gu Yuqing's casual sex partner."

"Whatever," Gu Yuqing waved her hand dismissively. "It's all the same wherever I go."

After a pause, she added, "However, I suggest you find a hotel."

"why?"

Gu Yuqing blinked: "Now everyone thinks we have this kind of relationship, but we don't. Don't you think it's a loss?"

Chen Ya glanced at her, and in that one glance, he was captivated.

……

The next day, Chen Ya woke up in the hotel bed, the sheets had rolled off him, and he was still a little dazed.

I haven't slept this soundly in many days.

He got up, boiled a kettle of water, and after brushing his teeth, he saw Gu Yuqing lying on the bed, staring at him with curious eyes.
