Chapter 65 Stomach upset
Chapter 65 Stomach upset
"You stinky man, you're so extravagant and wasteful, you don't know how to be frugal at all," Chu Xinglan cursed.
"Exactly!" Ye Xiaoxiao agreed wholeheartedly. "How about we have a big meal while we drink?"
Ye Xiaoxiao offered a suggestion.
"Alcohol?" Chu Xinglan hesitated, as she was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol. "I don't drink alcohol."
Chu Xinglan lied.
"It's nothing, I'm used to drinking." Ye Xiaoxiao said, referring to the red wine that was included in the takeout bag.
"I'll just have a beverage!" Chu Xinglan saw the pure fruit juice inside and quickly took it out.
Holding the juice, she couldn't help but recall the scenes she shared with Gu Ye in the office:
"Have a drink."
Chu Xinglan, who was eating, glanced at the liquid and shook her head: "It has artificial coloring, I won't drink it!"
"This is fruit juice, it's natural and harmless!" Gu Ye said gently.
"He remembers!" Chu Xinglan gripped the juice tightly, smiling sweetly.
"Who remembers anything?" Ye Xiaoxiao heard Chu Xinglan's mutterings, but she was puzzled by Chu Xinglan's seemingly random words.
"It's nothing," Chu Xinglan smiled.
So the two of them enjoyed a lavish meal and drinks, having a wonderful time, but then the next day...
"Xiaoxiao, I can't take it anymore, hurry up, I'm about to poop."
Chu Xinglan stood trembling at the bathroom door.
It took Ye Xiaoxiao quite a while to come out of the bathroom.
"I ate too much and too many different things yesterday, my stomach can't handle it." Ye Xiaoxiao looked pained.
"Stop talking, I need to take care of this first." Chu Xinglan rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.
Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao, weakly supporting each other, arrived at the company entrance, just as Gu Ye and Xue Bai also arrived.
"What are you doing here?" Xue Bai asked, pointing at them with a puzzled look.
"Lanlan, why do you look so pale?" Gu Ye asked with concern.
"It's all your fault." Chu Xinglan glared at Gu Ye, annoyed.
"How did I hurt you?" Gu Ye asked, puzzled.
"Yes, the boss went back with me. When we left, you were all fine. How did things turn out like this?" Xue Bai was also confused.
"It's all because of those takeout meals you left behind. We thought it was a waste to throw them away, so we... ate them as a late-night snack, and ended up getting stomach problems..." Ye Xiaoxiao glared at Xue Bai with a resentful expression.
"You ate it all?" Xue Bai was incredulous. That was a portion for four people, and the two of them had actually eaten it all?
"I'm just afraid of wasting food," Chu Xinglan said, sticking out her tongue.
If they had known that their gluttony would have resulted in this, they would never have forced themselves to eat it all.
“Those foods weren’t stored properly, and they’ll spoil if left out for too long, not to mention you forced so much into them.” Gu Ye felt heartbroken looking at Chu Xinglan, who seemed to have lost several pounds overnight.
"I'm not... afraid of wasting such good food," Chu Xinglan muttered softly.
"I'll take you to the hospital right now." Gu Ye grabbed Chu Xinglan's hand and was about to take her to the hospital.
"No, it's just that I keep going to the toilet, it's nothing serious." Chu Xinglan hurriedly pushed Gu Ye away before anyone could see her. "Stay away from me."
Seeing her nervous expression, Gu Ye had no choice but to take a step back.
"Let me take you to the hospital," Xue Bai quickly offered.
"No need." Ye Xiaoxiao spoke to Xue Bai in a genuinely angry tone.
"I'm giving you a day off. You can rest at home today," Gu Ye said to Chu Xinglan.
"Alright, thank you, boss. We'll head back now." Upon hearing Gu Ye's words, Chu Xinglan immediately pulled Ye Xiaoxiao and turned to leave.
"Hey, Xinglan, are we really leaving like this?" Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't even reacted yet.
Xue Bai watched Ye Xiaoxiao's retreating figure, his heart filled with worry.
Is she alright? But she doesn't look alright at all.
"Go buy them some medicine and send it over," Gu Ye instructed Xue Bai.
"Okay, boss, I'm going right now." Xue Bai immediately agreed, disappearing in the blink of an eye as if the wind was blowing beneath his feet.
Gu Ye rubbed his forehead, shook his head, and chuckled. What a greedy little cat!
Around noon, Gu Ye called Xue Bai into his office.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
"Order them lunch and have a delivery person bring it over." Gu Ye raised his head slightly.
"I already had it delivered to them," Xue Bai said with a smile.
“They have an upset stomach and need to eat some light food…” Gu Ye added.
"Don't worry, boss. You're not the only good man. I've already thought of that, so this time I ordered all kinds of food that are good for their stomachs and intestines." Xue Bai said smugly.
Gu Ye looked at him, and after a long while, slowly said, "Well done!"
"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now?" Xue Bai whispered.
Why does the boss seem unhappy? Is it because he stole the opportunity for the boss to shine?
Gu Ye didn't say anything, he just nodded.
Xue Bai was about to leave when he heard Gu Ye say, "Call and order some high-end ingredients to be air-freighted over."
"Boss, you mean...?" Xue Bai looked at Gu Ye strangely. He truly lived up to his reputation as Gu Ye's lackey, immediately understanding what Gu Ye was planning.
"uh-huh!"
"I'll get on it right away!" Xue Bai was overjoyed.
Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao watched TV while eating fruit and fries, enjoying a truly pleasant day.
"You deserve such good treatment, so why am I also enjoying a comfortable life with paid leave?" Ye Xiaoxiao said, stuffing a potato chip into her mouth.
"What do you mean I'm entitled to such good treatment?" Chu Xinglan, who was half-lying down and happily eating fresh imported cherries, said indignantly.
"Because you're Gu Ye's girlfriend!" Ye Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly.
"Who's Gu Ye's girlfriend? Don't talk nonsense." Chu Xinglan refused to admit it.
"They've slept together, and she's still not his girlfriend." Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Xinglan with disdain.
"I...we only did it once, and it was just an accident," Chu Xinglan stammered.
"Oh, do you want to do it a few more times? You've been playing kissing and hugging games when no one's around, and you still won't admit it." Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Why are you looking down on me and rolling your eyes?" Chu Xinglan jumped up.
"You're so stubborn, refusing to admit it no matter what. I despise you, I roll my eyes at you, so what? Who told you to act innocent after getting the benefit?" Ye Xiaoxiao became happier as she spoke, continuing to despise and roll her eyes at Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan's face puffed up with anger, but she couldn't do anything about Ye Xiaoxiao.
They made fun of her, huh? Very well, she'll remember that. Revenge is her motto.
"Didn't you know? This takeout was delivered by Assistant Xue."
"Assistant Xue is just Gu Ye's lackey!" Ye Xiaoxiao said dismissively.
