You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 142

Chapter 142: I’ll Manage the Inside, You Manage the Outside

Gu Huaiye had been lectured by Father Gu for several hours, so the moment he hit the bed, he slept soundly, almost unable to get up.

The moment he was dragged up by Xie Miaohan and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, he thought about how miserable he was. To think he had been reborn several times, only to repeatedly experience the pain of 8 AM university classes.

Seeing Gu Huaiye brushing his teeth with his eyes closed, a smile appeared in Xie Miaohan’s eyes.

He turned to pick up a towel and wiped Gu Huaiye’s face.

“Huaiye, hold on a little longer. Tomorrow is the weekend; you can sleep until noon.”

Gu Huaiye spit out the toothpaste foam, rinsed his mouth, and lifted his face, signaling for Xie Miaohan to wipe his mouth.

He hugged Xie Miaohan’s waist. “Miaomiao, stop working part-time jobs. Spend the weekend with me; I’ll give you money.”

Xie Miaohan’s hand paused while wiping Gu Huaiye’s face. After a moment of silence, he said, “I don’t want to rely on you to support me.”

That would make him seem useless.

Gu Huaiye looked up and saw the dim look on Xie Miaohan’s face, immediately realizing he had said the wrong thing.

“Those part-time jobs are too hard, and they don’t earn much money.” Gu Huaiye thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to join the Gu Group? I’ll have to go work at the company in a while too. Do you want to come and help me?”

He had been thinking about how to arrange things for Xie Miaohan these past few days.

After experiencing the cruelty of the battlefield once, Gu Huaiye refused to let Xie Miaohan join the military again, no matter what.

“Commander” sounded majestic, but without powerful backing, Xie Miaohan had to constantly fight on the battlefield to maintain his status.

He couldn’t bear to let Xie Miaohan get hurt again.

After thinking for a long time, he felt that letting Xie Miaohan enter the Gu Group was the best arrangement.

Xie Miaohan was already strong at everything. In the first life, he had developed the Gu Group very well, making it a formidable enterprise in District A.

“Aren’t you afraid of me?” Xie Miaohan lowered his eyes to stare at Gu Huaiye, his voice strained. “I made your Gu family go bankrupt before.”

“That was because there was a misunderstanding between us. I treated you so poorly and even took you for artificial gland surgery; it was normal for you to want revenge.”

After so many lifetimes, Gu Huaiye could face the issue of bankruptcy with peace of mind.

“Actually, it wasn’t revenge…” Xie Miaohan shook his head, seeming to find it hard to speak. It took a long time before he continued, “I wanted to possess you completely. I thought that with power, I could keep your heart.”

“That’s too extreme.” Gu Huaiye laughed involuntarily. “Miaomiao, don’t do that in the future, okay? If I go bankrupt, I can’t give you a good life. We are a married couple; we have to work together to manage the company.”

Xie Miaohan’s breath hitched, and he looked at Gu Huaiye in disbelief.

“I’ve already canceled the engagement with the Chen family, and I convinced Xialin too. From now on, he and I will just be friends.” The more Gu Huaiye spoke, the more embarrassed he felt; his ears began to turn red. “Wife, let’s get married after graduation. I’ll leave the company to you to manage. I want to spend time with Dad. In the future, I’ll manage the inside, and you manage the outside.”

He had learned these words from Chen Xialin; saying them out loud felt strangely embarrassing.

Seeing Xie Miaohan not answering, Gu Huaiye got anxious, his eyes widening.

“You can’t refuse. This is the first time I’ve proposed to someone like this. I haven’t prepared a ring yet, but I’ve already…”

Xie Miaohan suddenly leaned down, kissing Gu Huaiye’s lips and blocking the rest of his words.

Gu Huaiye’s heart beat fast, almost drowning in this gentle yet passionate kiss.

When Gu Huaiye was about to run out of breath, Xie Miaohan finally released him, lifting his cold fingertips to wipe Gu Huaiye’s lips.

“Huaiye, this time you don’t need to use shares of the Gu Group as a betrothal gift. Having your words is enough for me.”

“How can we do that? It can’t be worse than the first life,” Gu Huaiye disagreed.

“You can pay me a salary. Any amount is fine.”

Gu Huaiye thought about it and felt that could work; at worst, he’d just pay a very high salary.

On their wedding anniversary, he would gift Xie Miaohan some shares.

Gu Huaiye lifted his face, wanting to kiss Xie Miaohan again.

Lu Zishi knocked on the door at the most inopportune time, shouting with his booming voice, “Young Master, we’re going to be late! Are you not ready yet?”

Gu Huaiye: “……”

He hated 8 AM classes.

Chen Zirui stood at the school gate, waiting for Gu Huaiye’s car to arrive.

This time, he absolutely had to catch the person Gu Huaiye was hiding. He had to see exactly what they looked like to have charmed his Brother Gu so thoroughly.

Gu Huaiye was truly amazing. He didn’t know what he had said to Chen Xialin, but unexpectedly, there were no tears or tantrums; Xialin had calmly accepted the broken engagement.

Originally, Father Chen had come up with a dirty trick, telling Chen Xialin to take his luggage and go live directly at the Gu house. As long as news of their cohabitation got out, Gu Huaiye would have to marry Chen Xialin no matter what he said.

But Chen Xialin refused and planned to look forward, telling Father Chen to stop obsessing over the marriage alliance with the Gu family.

So cool.

Chen Zirui dared not look down on his little brother ever again.

Gu Huaiye’s car finally arrived. Chen Zirui’s eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over to the rear passenger side.

Xie Miaohan happened to be sitting on the side where Chen Zirui was standing. He turned his head, seeking Gu Huaiye’s permission.

“Can I appear in front of him?”

Gu Huaiye hadn’t expected the extent of Chen Zirui’s nosiness, waiting here so early in the morning.

“It’s fine. We have to go public sooner or later. Let’s get out.”

Xie Miaohan responded with an “Mn,” and opened the car door to step out.

Chen Zirui finally saw Xie Miaohan’s face, and a trace of awe appeared in his eyes. That was until Xie Miaohan emerged completely from the car, straightening his two long legs.

Fck, he’s too tall.*

Chen Zirui looked up at Xie Miaohan, the corners of his mouth twitching.

It was actually an Alpha.

His Brother Gu couldn’t be…

Chen Zirui didn’t dare to continue that thought and hurriedly shook his head.

No way.

His Brother Gu was strong; conquering an Alpha was a piece of cake for him.

“You’re quite nosy, aren’t you?” Gu Huaiye came to Chen Zirui’s side and mocked, “You should become a reporter after graduation, responsible for the entertainment section.”

Hearing this, Chen Zirui gave him a resentful look. “Who told you to hide it so deep? I’m your childhood friend, and you wouldn’t even let me meet him.”

“Alright, as if I don’t know your little thoughts.” Gu Huaiye pointed at Xie Miaohan and continued, “His name is Xie Miaohan. He’s our senior.”

Chen Zirui quickly greeted Xie Miaohan. “Hi, I’m Chen Zirui, Brother Gu’s childhood friend.”

Xie Miaohan nodded at him. “Hello.”

After entering the school and parting ways with Xie Miaohan, Gu Huaiye spoke to Chen Zirui with a boastful tone.

“He is an SSS-level Alpha. Envious?”

Chen Zirui: “……”

That ass must really hurt.
