Homecoming.
Gu Chenan was awakened from his sleep by an inexplicable restlessness.
He sat up in bed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What the heck is this strange restlessness about?" he wondered.
"I've already dealt with Liu Mingrui, and Su Qianmo probably won't bother me for a while. So what's causing this restlessness?"
"Could someone be harboring a grudge against me behind my back?"
"Damn, who is it?"
Gu Chenan had no idea where this restlessness was coming from.
Nor did he know that the roses and vows that Lin Yu gave to Su Qianmo were mistaken as gifts from him.
If Gu Chenan found out, he would probably be furious.
He thought he had completely gotten rid of Liu Mingrui yesterday, and from now on, he wouldn't be entangled with her or have anything to do with her.
So he was in a great mood and had a good drink with Ma Bing and a few other servants after returning home last night.
The feeling of a hangover was not pleasant. His head was buzzing, and it felt like it could explode at any moment.
Ding, ding, ding~
Just then, someone knocked on his door.
"The door isn't locked, come in," Gu Chenan said, shaking his head and adjusting his posture.
Click~
The door slowly opened, revealing Bai Yutian in a waist-hugging short dress and a pair of white cotton leggings with floral patterns.
She held a tray in her hand with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup on it.
She shyly pursed her lips and walked to Gu Chenan's bedside, saying, "Young Master Gu, I heard you drank a lot of alcohol last night, so I specially made a bowl of chicken soup for you."
"?" Gu Chenan was taken aback, and suddenly his headache disappeared.
"What's going on? Am I still asleep?"
"Bai... Bai Yutian made chicken soup for me?"
"I'll be damned! After how I treated her, she still made soup for me?"
"Did she poison the soup? Come on, is it a love potion?"
Gu Chenan looked at Bai Yutian suspiciously. He had to admit that he really liked Bai Yutian's style.
Not only was she cute, but she also liked to wear white stockings.
Look, Bai Yutian had a pair of food-grade little feet, and Gu Chenan happened to have a mouth.
Isn't that a perfect match?
"Cough, cough."
Gu Chenan cleared his throat and got into character.
He glanced at Bai Yutian disdainfully and snorted, "Do I need a little cleaning girl like you to make soup for me when my family's chefs aren't available?!"
"Hahaha, here comes the chicken soup!"
"I really want to drink it. Little Sweetie personally made the soup, and I wish I could finish it in one gulp."
"It would be even better if Little Sweetie added her own white stockings to the soup. That would be delicious!"
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner thoughts, Bai Yutian's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and couldn't dare to look at Gu Chenan.
She felt shy and embarrassed, and her toes involuntarily exerted force.
"Young Master Gu, among the people who drank last night, there were the chefs from your family, and they haven't woken up yet..." Bai Yutian said softly.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Bai Yutian's words, Gu Chenan finally remembered.
Last night, Gu Chenan was proudly drinking with the family chefs until one o'clock, and during that time, he managed to knock them all out.
Thinking about this, Gu Chenan felt a sense of satisfaction.
As the son of a wealthy family, he had attended countless extravagant gatherings, naturally honing his drinking skills.
Dealing with a few family chefs was a piece of cake!
But at the moment, Gu Chenan couldn't help but feel a creeping unease about the current situation.
Bai Yutian, the second female lead, actually took the initiative to make chicken soup for him!
In the original plot, not only did Bai Yutian not make him chicken soup, she didn't even pour him a glass of water personally.
This... Could it be that Bai Yutian's character has also collapsed?
No way!
The plot between me and Bai Yutian is supposed to happen later, so why would her character collapse?
Gu Chenan sighed and rubbed his forehead.
He went through the interactions he had with Bai Yutian during this performance from beginning to end.
[Something's not right!]
[I barely exchanged five sentences with Bai Yutian this time, so how did her character collapse?]
[Damn it, something is definitely off!]
[Doesn't she only have Lin Yu in her heart? According to the current timeline, she should have already met Lin Yu, right? Isn't she supposed to be throwing herself at him?]
[Why would she make chicken soup for me?!]
His head was throbbing. He couldn't figure out why.
He looked up and peeked at Bai Yutian through his fingers, only to see her standing there as timidly as ever.
Suddenly, he felt relieved.
[It's alright, it's just a bowl of chicken soup. Shouldn't be a big problem.]
[Little sweetheart is naturally a kind and good-hearted girl. She probably saw how drunk I was last night, and with the family chefs also being drunk, that's why she made me soup.]
[After all, I'm her boss. If I ended up drinking myself to death, who would pay her salary?]
[Besides, she was able to save Lin Yu, whom she had never met before, so making me chicken soup shouldn't be a big deal, right?]
[Yes, that's it. Gu Chenan, you have to have faith in Dragon King Lin Yu. Bai Yutian definitely loves the Dragon King!]
Gu Chenan comforted himself in his mind.
Hearing Gu Chenan's thoughts, Bai Yutian's delicate body trembled slightly.
She looked somewhat sorrowful, her throat moved slightly as she bit her lip with force.
Young Master Gu...
Why do you still think I like Lin Yu?
Do you know how early I woke up and how much effort it took me to make this chicken soup for you?
In your eyes, is my current behavior as effortless as when I saved Lin Yu?
No, it's not like that!
I don't like Lin Yu, and I have no connection with him.
When I see Lin Yu again, I will prove it to Young Master Gu!
Bai Yutian firmly held the tray, her fair fingers turning red from the force.
"Alright, put the chicken soup here and you can go downstairs for now," Gu Chenan spoke up.
Although Gu Chenan's character in Bai Yutian's eyes was that of an arrogant and irritable second-generation rich man, the problem was that the chicken soup was personally made by Little Sweetheart!
Who could resist chicken soup made by Little Sweetheart?
Well, Gu Chenan certainly couldn't resist. (〃ω〃)
"Yes, Young Master Gu."
Bai Yutian nodded sweetly and placed the tray on the bedside table before bowing to Gu Chenan. "Young Master Gu, I'll go now."
[Bai Yutian is such an adorable little girl.]
[I really want to hold her in my arms and cuddle her~]
[Sigh, if only she wasn't Lin Yu's woman, I would definitely make a move on her.]
[They say lolis have three qualities: a soft voice, a gentle figure, and they're easy to conquer! (/▽＼)]
Upon hearing these comments, Bai Yutian's cheeks flushed red once again, and she quickly walked out of Gu Chenan's room.
Once she reached her own room, she clenched her fist and struck the bed.
Young Master Gu, I will definitely prove myself to you!
"I! Don't! Like! Lin! Yu!" She gritted her teeth and enunciated each word, full of hatred.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
