The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 164 It turns out there was more to the story.

"Shy, Daddy's such a grown-up, and you're still crying." The little baby scratched his face with his chubby pink hands, looking incredibly cute.

Chu Xinglan chuckled, her eyes filled with tears, but her face still held a smile.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ye asked.

"Baby, you're so shy, crying at such a big age," Chu Xinglan laughed.

"How dare you laugh at your father? I'll give you a good beating when I catch you!" Gu Ye feigned anger.

The baby shrank back in fright upon hearing this.

"Waaah, Daddy's so mean, I don't want Daddy anymore."

"Don't scare her!" Chu Xinglan said with a laugh.

"Was she really scared?" Gu Ye's voice softened a bit.

Chu Xinglan nodded.

"Daddy was just teasing you. How could Daddy bear to hit you?" Gu Ye's tone was unusually gentle.

Seeing Gu Ye's loving expression, the little baby giggled again.

"She smiled." Chu Xinglan told Gu Ye about the baby's mood.

Gu Ye felt a pang of regret that he couldn't see his daughter's smile.

"Does she resemble you or me?" Gu Ye asked softly, holding Chu Xinglan in his arms.

"Hmm... he looks more like you!" Chu Xinglan compared Gu Ye's face with the baby's.

"Her smile must be very beautiful," Gu Ye said softly.

"Okay!" Chu Xinglan nodded.

"I really want to see what she looks like," Gu Ye said sincerely.

"It'll be soon, around six or seven months. You'll be able to see her then. She'll be chubby, with delicate features, and incredibly cute. When you see her, your heart will melt."

Chu Xinglan said with a smile.

He gently touched Chu Xinglan's belly, his heart softening even more. At the same time, he felt a strong sense of mission and said firmly, "Lanlan, I will never let anything happen to you and the baby again."

Chu Xinglan smiled, then suddenly remembered something. She turned around but didn't see Shu Weiting. She then ran to another room, but still didn't see Shu Weiting. Chu Xinglan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Tingting is missing."

She was so engrossed in her own affairs that she forgot about Shu Weiting.

"Lanlan, don't worry..." Gu Ye wanted to comfort her.

But at this moment, Chu Xinglan couldn't care less about her husband and children. She rushed out, wanting to find Shu Weiting.

Gu Ye, fearing something might happen to her, also went after her.

Chu Xinglan chased after Shu Weiting all the way to the outside of the residential area, but still couldn't find her. Her worries grew stronger, and she quickly took out her phone to call Shu Weiting, but no one answered.

“Tingting…”

"Lanlan!"

Gu Ye ran over and was very worried about Chu Xinglan, who looked somewhat lost and disoriented.

"Don't get agitated, I think she'll be fine."

“How could nothing have happened? Jackson has been looking for her.”

Chu Xinglan was worried, so she prepared to call the Shu family.

Gu Ye held her hand.

"Lanlan, believe me, your friend will be fine."

"Gu Ye, stop trying to comfort me. You've seen what kind of person Jackson is. He's so terrifying. Tingting will never have a good ending if she falls into his hands."

Despite Gu Ye's confident tone, Chu Xinglan was still uneasy.

“Lanlan, I know Jackson better than you do. If he didn’t care, he would never have chased after a woman thousands of miles away.”

"You mean..." Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye with suspicion.

“I admit that Jackson is a wolf, but also a lonely wolf. He uses ruthlessness and arrogance to mask his loneliness. Once he falls in love, he will do anything. Although his methods are a bit extreme, he knows his limits. Since he is also a reborn person, I believe this is a warning given to him by fate. I know you are doing this for your friend's good, but we should not interfere in their affairs.”

Gu Ye gazed intently at Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan knew the weight of Gu Ye's words; she should believe him.

"Gu Ye, I feel like I'm an idiot. I should have realized what Tingting was up to. She didn't want to drag me down, that's why she said those hurtful things. We're both actors, and I didn't even realize that this was her good intention."

At this point, Chu Xinglan couldn't help but cry.

They are best friends who grew up together, and always have been!

Gu Ye held her in his arms and gently stroked her head with his hand.

In fact, he had already seen through it. The relationship between Chu Xinglan and Shu Weiting couldn't have changed so easily. But since she wanted what was best for Chu Xinglan, how could he expose her? Besides, he didn't want anything to happen to Chu Xinglan. He just didn't expect Shu Weiting to reveal such a big secret to him. If it weren't for her, he was afraid he would have been deceived by this little fool until she faced all the bad things and dangers alone.

He would never allow Chu Xinglan to be in any danger again.

Since the existence of the child was exposed, Chu Xinglan no longer hesitated to enjoy sweets in front of Gu Ye.

"So it's not that you're greedy, but that our little baby wants to eat?"

Gu Ye affectionately wiped the cream off Chu Xinglan's lips with his hand.

Chu Xinglan nodded repeatedly as she ate her cake.

"There's no way around it, this little one has such a big appetite. If I don't eat, she'll make a fuss, so I have to eat a lot of sweets every day. Look at me, I've gained weight."

Chu Xinglan looked helpless as she touched her waist.

"Oh, let me see." Gu Ye touched her waist with a serious expression, taking the opportunity to grope her. "It seems to have gotten a bit rounder."

At first, Chu Xinglan didn't realize it, but when Gu Ye's hand remained on her waist, she suddenly realized it and her face instantly turned red.

"You, you let go." She looked at the little baby next to her, embarrassed.

The little baby's attention was focused on the cake, and he didn't notice anything amiss.

Gu Ye brazenly pulled Chu Xinglan into his arms, gently nibbling her earlobe, making Chu Xinglan's heart flutter.

Since he started eating meat, Gu Ye has become unrestrained and has the urge to eat meat at any time. He had restrained himself for a long time before because Shu Weiting was present, but now he has no worries and can eat meat without restraint.

"No, the little guy is here." Chu Xinglan's voice trembled slightly as he was teased.

Hearing Chu Xinglan's panting, Gu Ye's lust intensified, but when he heard Chu Xinglan say that the little guy was there, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

If I had known there would be such concerns, I would have preferred not to have known about this little guy's existence.

Gu Ye frowned, suppressing his desire, and gently touched Chu Xinglan's lower abdomen.

"Is the little one causing you trouble?"

Chu Xinglan shook her head.

"She's very well-behaved and never makes me uncomfortable. She sleeps most of the time and never bothers me." Chu Xinglan was filled with happiness when talking about the baby.

Gu Ye was relieved to hear her say that, and seeing the natural happiness radiating from her face, he was even more gratified.
