Soon, it was approaching noon.
Gu Chenan, who had been mindlessly scrolling through his phone, checked the time and sat up from his bed.
"It's about time to welcome the next female lead."
Just then, a bright light appeared, and a slender figure emerged within it.
Gu Chenan, in a moment of dramatic flair, suddenly spread his arms and shouted: "Appear, my love!"
The slender figure paused briefly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Young Master Gu!"
Hearing this delicate voice, Gu Chenan knew who it was before even seeing her face: "Yutian."
In the next second, the bright light vanished, and Bai Yutian, dressed in a maid outfit, rushed forward and threw herself into Gu Chenan's arms.
"I... I... *sob sob* I thought I'd never see Young Master Gu again."
Gu Chenan stroked her head and smiled, "There, there, don't cry. I'm right here."
"Mm."
Bai Yutian let out a soft whimper, wiped her tears with her arm, and then looked around at her surroundings, slightly puzzled.
"Wasn't I just seeing Young Master Gu off in the main hall? How did we end up in this room?"
"Well, about that..."
Gu Chenan scratched the back of his head and, like an NPC in a game, explained to Bai Yutian the whole situation and how this world differed from the novel's world.
Bai Yutian's small head was filled with big questions after listening.
"Young Master Gu, so you're wealthy in the real world too?"
"Well, I am now, but I wasn't before," Gu Chenan explained.
"Huh?"
Bai Yutian didn't quite understand but nodded anyway. Then, suddenly remembering something, she asked, "So I'm the fourth person to arrive in this world?"
"That's right," Gu Chenan nodded.
"Ah~"
Bai Yutian pouted unhappily, "Why am I fourth? Not fair! I was supposed to be the second female lead in your inner thoughts, so I should have been the second to arrive!"
Gu Chenan playfully smacked her bottom and pulled her into his embrace, "What does it matter? You were bound to come anyway."
"It matters a lot!" Bai Yutian said with an air of wisdom, "Think about it, Young Master Gu. Coming to this world earlier means being with you earlier. Even though in my mind it feels like I came here right after saying goodbye to you, in reality, Miss Su and Miss Liu got here so much earlier than me."
"How do you expect me, the second female lead, to feel about that?"
"Uh..."
Seeing Bai Yutian putting herself in the position of a mistress, Gu Chenan said helplessly, "Alright, alright, just tell me what you want."
"Hehe."
Bai Yutian gave a mischievous smile, then bumped her hip against Gu Chenan, "Young Master Gu, shouldn't you make it up to me?"
"What kind of compensation do you want?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Well..."
Bai Yutian put her finger to her lips, looked up at the ceiling, thought for a long time, and then said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I figure it out."
"OK."
Gu Chenan nodded and said, "I'm going out with Mingrui this afternoon, so you stay home."
"What?"
Bai Yutian shook her head, "I don't want to stay home alone. That's so boring."
"Uh..."
Gu Chenan was in a dilemma.
Logically, since Bai Yutian had just arrived, he should take her out to have some fun. But he had just promised Liu Mingrui last night, and if he took Bai Yutian out while Liu Mingrui was asleep, who knows what she would think.
"Perhaps you could go find Qianmo and Kannon," Gu Chenan suggested tentatively.
"Miss Su and Miss Hoshino?" Bai Yutian thought for a moment, then shook her head, "But, but we're not very close."
"That's fine, it doesn't matter if you're not close. I'll take you to Qianmo's company now, and you can chat with them."
"Sigh~"
Bai Yutian sighed, looking resigned, and nodded, "Fine, fine."
...
At Caiying.
The criticism of Gu Chenan was still ongoing, with many people planning to follow him and Hoshino Kannon one day to capture decisive evidence to show Su Qianmo, making her fully understand Gu Chenan's true character.
"Good idea, let's do it!"
"If we can really capture decisive evidence of Mr. Gu with that young lady, Ms. Su will definitely leave Mr. Gu!"
"Great! Let's create a group chat. Anyone who sees Mr. Gu with Hoshino Kannon should post about it in the group immediately!"
"Come on, let's start a face-to-face group chat."
Just as everyone was enthusiastically creating the group, Gu Chenan and Bai Yutian walked in.
Bai Yutian, being somewhat socially anxious due to her regular role as a maid in the Gu household, instinctively clung to Gu Chenan's arm when she saw so many people at Caiying.
"Don't be afraid, these are just Caiying employees, not monsters," Gu Chenan reassured her.
Bai Yutian nodded but still wouldn't let go of Gu Chenan's arm.
"Sigh."
Seeing Bai Yutian like this, Gu Chenan shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Gu Chenan noticed these employees gathered together as if discussing something important.
"What's going on here?" Gu Chenan asked.
Someone in the crowd replied without even turning their head, "Operation Protect President Su!"
Gu Chenan: ?
He took a couple of steps forward to see what these people were up to, but just then someone turned around, saw him, and was startled.
"Mr... Mr. Gu."
Hearing this, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet Gu Chenan.
"What did you just say? What protection operation? I didn't hear clearly," Gu Chenan asked curiously.
"Ah... it's nothing, nothing, we were talking about something else," someone said awkwardly.
"Oh."
Gu Chenan was confused but waved his hand and said, "Get back to work, don't crowd around."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
"Mm."
Gu Chenan nodded and led Bai Yutian into the elevator.
After the elevator doors closed, everyone exchanged glances, all wearing expressions of surprise and anger.
"Did you see that? You all saw it, right? Mr. Gu brought another young lady!"
"He said the previous girl was his sister, but how will he explain this one?"
"This is too much, brazenly bringing another girl to President Su's office. Does he think President Su won't notice anything unusual?"
"This girl looks so young, barely of age. How could Mr. Gu do such a thing!"
"Scoundrel!"
"Degenerate!"
"We must make President Su see Mr. Gu's true colors!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, their faces burning with anger.
