Chapter 273 Yaoyao wants to persuade Gu Yuchen to let go

There is no doubt that under Ye Xingyao's instigation, Gu Yuchen was completely ordered by his grandfather not to step out of the house.

He also assigned Ye Xingyao a difficult task: to keep him under control.

"You are either in the same group as Jin Ran or with grandpa, but never with me." Gu Yuchen said in a low and soft voice, a little unhappy.

At this time, he had been "forced" to lie on the bed and had an IV drip.

"I'm just describing the facts. I haven't even mentioned that you were in so much pain last night that you lost consciousness!"

Gu Yuchen was speechless and stopped trying to argue. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed, as if thinking about something.

At this time, Ye Xingyao received news on her mobile phone that Ji Group’s stock price plummeted 10% overnight.

She clicked on the page and finished browsing, then realized what her grandfather meant when he said at the dinner table that Gu Yuchen had skipped other people’s contracts…

"The stock price of Ji Group plummeted... Was it you who did it yesterday..." Ye Xingyao looked at Gu Yuchen and asked slowly.

She had a blank expression on her face, but it made Gu Yuchen feel a little depressed.

"Ah."

Hearing Gu Yuchen's affirmative answer, Ye Xingyao's eyes dodged.

"Is it... because of me..."

"Yes."

Ye Xingyao suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She knew that Ji Yan and Gu Yuchen had been fighting overtly and covertly, and could not tolerate each other. But Gu Yuchen had never done such a big thing to Ji Yan, and it was even because of her.

She suddenly felt an invisible pressure and guilt.

A feeling of being caught between them.

Ye Xingyao didn't know whether she should persuade him to let go.

However, Gu Yuchen could see her concern in her eyes.

"So... you don't want to?" Gu Yuchen pressed the painful spot under the quilt, his calm eyes fell on her, his tone slightly cold.

"I..." Ye Xingyao didn't say anything. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly.

"So even though he did that to you, forced you and used you, and used Su Mo to drug me and sow discord between us, and even almost killed me, are you still going to stand on his side..." Gu Yuchen's tone became cold.

Ye Xingyao was stunned for a moment, and her chest began to feel stuffy.

"I... I'm not on his side. I also hate his behavior towards you and the demands he made on me... But Ji Yan..."

"Ye Xingyao, do you love me?"

Gu Yuchen interrupted her and looked at her with deep, misty eyes.

The pain in his hands became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but breathe heavier. The sweat on his forehead became more dense, and even the hands hidden under the quilt began to exert force secretly.

"I love you, Yuchen, I love you... I just feel that I will feel guilty about this... I don't want him to..." Ye Xingyao sobbed, her voice hoarse.

This made the pain in Gu Yuchen's stomach even more severe.

She actually cried. She actually cried because of Ji Yan.

"Okay, I understand." Gu Yuchen said and closed his eyes to rest, but the curve between his brows became more and more furrowed.

Seeing that he just buried himself in his quilt at home and didn't want to talk anymore after he finished speaking, Ye Xingyao felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She saw that he seemed to be shivering from the cold, or from the pain, but she hesitated and couldn't move forward.

"Yuchen...I..."

"I want to be quiet."

Ye Xingyao was petrified again.

She stared at Gu Yuchen, feeling distressed, yet she also felt as if there was an invisible barrier between them, making both of them feel distant.

"What do you need me to do..."

"Need not."

Ye Xingyao was suddenly disappointed after being interrupted. She was just about to go back to the next room, but before she took two steps, she heard the person behind her suppressing a groan.

Gu Yuchen's hand, which was still receiving an IV drip, was gripping the corner of the quilt because of the pain. The blood was already coming out. He curled up in the quilt.

He kept groaning in pain, and even the blue veins on his temples and neck were throbbing.

Ye Xingyao instantly became anxious, and moved closer to him to hold his hand that was receiving an IV, hoping that he would relax. Unexpectedly, the man in front of her suddenly retracted his hand and grabbed it with another quilt.

"I don't need it. Go find...your...Ji Yan..."

"Your hand is bleeding, let go!"

"..."

"Gu Yuchen! Let go! Did you hear me?"

"Do you still...care...about me..."

When Gu Yuchen spoke, his tone was very weak. Tears in the corners of his eyes slid down his cheeks. He didn't understand why Ye Xingyao would defend Ji Yan so much.

He nearly lost his life twice because of her.

But now, she wanted herself to let Ji Yan go.

Ye Xingyao was stunned by his reaction, but seeing that more and more blood was flowing up through the infusion tube, she anxiously began to pry his hands apart.

"Yuchen, let go first... your hand is recovering blood..."

Ye Xingyao was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes as she couldn't move his hands, but Gu Yuchen didn't care at all about his blood recovery.

"Please...can you please let go first..."

Her voice was trembling with tears, which made him stunned for a moment. Then he endured the severe pain in his abdomen and slowly loosened his grip.

As soon as he let go, Ye Xingyao leaned down and kissed him.

Ye Xingyao kissed him lightly, and Gu Yuchen did not resist her, but he did not have the strength to respond to her.

"Uh uh..."

Two minutes later, Gu Yuchen finally couldn't bear the pain anymore. He tilted his head slightly and buried it in his arms.

But he gently grabbed Ye Xingyao's arm without using any strength.
