The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 10: Acting Coquettishly

Chapter 10: Acting Coquettishly

This old fox actually circled back to check on them.

Ye Jin glanced around calmly before responding, As you can see, the two brothers are having a disagreement.

Gu Chenxi…

She could even explain this away.

A disagreement? Lu Tianlang questioned, It doesn’t look like that to me.

Things had escalated to this point how could it just be a simple disagreement?

Ever since returning from her business trip to another province last time, Ye Jin had obtained the relevant plot information about Lu Tianlang from the system.

He was a typical fencesitter. On the surface, he only supported Gu Qingyang, but privately he also passed information to Gu Chenxi, skillfully avoiding offending either side.

But precisely because he played both sides, he kept the stalemate between the brothers going, causing the female lead who would appear later to suffer greatly.

Today was a good opportunity.

If she could prove in front of Lu Tianlang that the two brothers actually had a good relationship in private, then future events would be much easier to handle.

Thinking this, Ye Jin actually became calmer.

Beside them, Gu Qingyang completely ignored everyone’s expressions and said to Ye Jin, That’s disgusting to say. What disagreement? I want nothing to do with him for the rest of my life.

Then he said rudely to Gu Chenxi, Get lost, stop being an eyesore here.

Gu Chenxi didn’t speak, but stared down at Gu Qingyang with an icy gaze, looking equally unfriendly.

Watching the two brothers confront each other again,

Lu Tianlang looked at Ye Jin with even more skeptical eyes.

But Ye Jin just shrugged helplessly at him, neither explaining nor defending herself.

Lu Tianlang could only try to mediate himself: Let’s talk this out properly. Everything can be resolved. Don’t create conflicts.

But it was completely useless.

Lu Tianlang could only turn to Ye Jin for help: Assistant Ye, stop just watching from there. Come and help mediate.

When pushed into a corner, people lose their ability to make rational judgments.

This lifeline that Ye Jin represented, whether real or fake, he had to grab onto it.

Ye Jin said unhurriedly, President Lu, don’t worry. Let me talk with Young Master Gu first.

Gu Chenxi was difficult to deal with, so it was better to continue looking for a breakthrough through Gu Qingyang.

Ye Jin added, I’ll definitely return to you a pair of loving brothers who care for each other.

Gu Chenxi heard this: ……..

Assistant Ye was perfect in every way, except her problemsolving methods gave him headaches.

In an unnoticed corner, Gu Chenxi rubbed his temples in distress.

Ye Jin pulled Gu Qingyang to a quiet corner.

Gu Qingyang said, equally confused, Ye Jin, why did you say that earlier? It was completely baffling.

Although he didn’t understand Ye Jin’s actions, he had politely waited until they were alone to object, clearly treating Ye Jin as one of his own.

This made Ye Jin’s heart soften slightly.

But to complete her mission and return home sooner, she still had to set him up when necessary.

So Ye Jin began digging the pit with full remorse.

Ye Jin asked seriously, Do you still not understand your own situation?

Gu Qingyang: What situation?

Ye Jin repeated what she had told the police earlier, then said, Right now, only Mr. Gu and I can save you.

Gu Qingyang was shocked.

He had guessed that there were many complications behind this, but he hadn’t expected it to be this many or this serious.

Then, Ye Jin smoothly set the stage: You always say President Gu is out to get you, but this time he did everything he could to protect you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you even told him to get lost in front of the elders—how heartless is that?

Gu Qingyang sneered, Him? Protect me? Impossible.

…Then just wait to be sued.

With those words, Ye Jin turned and walked away.

Wait, wait, wait! Gu Qingyang immediately pulled her back. I was wrong, sis. Please don’t abandon me.

He had finally grasped the severity of the situation.

He also realized that this time, Lu Tianlang couldn’t save him—the only ones who could pull him through were Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi.

Sis, I still don’t get it, Gu Qingyang said, puzzled. Since when has Gu Chenxi been so good to me? …You’re not setting me up again, are you?

Ye Jin had expected this question.

She glanced at Gu Qingyang, hesitating as if holding back. Haven’t you sensed President Gu’s feelings for you yet?

…

Gu Qingyang felt his hair stand on end under her gaze.

What feelings? he said, horrified. What feelings could he possibly have for me?!

Ye Jin didn’t pursue the topic.

She knew well that such exaggerated hints should be left at that.

Ye Jin: Actually, President Gu has his own reasons for doing this. He hopes you can help him with something.

This statement aligned much better with Gu Qingyang’s expectations.

Gu Qingyang relaxed a little. What does he want?

If Gu Chenxi had helped him this time, then as an exchange, he wouldn’t mind agreeing to one request from him.

Ye Jin: It’s that phrase you sent President Gu before. He wants to hear you say it to his face.

What phrase?

Besides, when had he ever sent Gu Chenxi a message? Never.

Ye Jin hinted subtly, You know the one.

That one…

Gu Qingyang lowered his head in thought, then suddenly remembered something.

His face instantly turned pale.

Don’t tell me Gu Chenxi wants to hear… Gu Qingyang said in an utterly absurd tone, Brother, you’re bad, carry???

Ye Jin nodded sincerely. So, do you feel President Gu’s burning affection for you now?

Gu Qingyang: ………

Gu Chenxi, you damn pervert.

Ye Jin brought Gu Qingyang back.

Walking ahead, Ye Jin noticed Gu Chenxi’s gaze and flashed him a smile.
Gu Chenxi: …

This doesn’t look good.

Lu Tianlang also cast an expectant and relieved look at Ye Jin.

Ye Jin pulled Gu Qingyang forward. Come on, don’t be shy.

Gu Qingyang’s expression was foul. Suppressing shame and anger, he walked up to Gu Chenxi.

His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched so tightly they turned white. His face was grim, and his voice was low, as if forced through gritted teeth.

Brother, you’re bad, carry, Gu Qingyang said, enduring the humiliation through clenched teeth. Are you satisfied now?!

Gu Chenxi: ……… Satisfied, my foot.

He looked at Ye Jin with deep confusion.

When Gu Qingyang said Brother, you’re bad, carry, Ye Jin had managed not to laugh.

But under Gu Chenxi’s gaze, she suddenly found it hard to hold back.

Ye Jin looked up at the sky to compose herself, then turned to Lu Tianlang to discuss serious matters. See, he’s even acting coquettishly with his brother now. Isn’t their bond strong enough?

Acting… coquettishly…

Gu Qingyang nearly blacked out upon hearing those two words, barely managing not to faint from Ye Jin’s provocation.

Gu Chenxi also turned his head away, unable to bear the sight.

…Acting cute.

Lu Tianlang looked equally dazed, as if he’d witnessed a scene from a scifi movie.

They say seeing is believing, but now he had both heard and seen it with his own eyes—there was no longer any room for disbelief.

Ye Jin continued asking: President Lu, do you have any other questions?

If so, now was the time to address them all at once.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Tianlang instinctively gave a thumbsup and praised: Assistant Ye, your insight is truly remarkable!

Even when the brothers were so confrontational with each other, Assistant Ye had managed to perceive the underlying fraternal bond.

Ye Jin smiled faintly: You flatter me.

I have no further issues, please carry on. Lu Tianlang gestured. Don’t let me interfere with you brothers connecting emotionally.

After speaking, Lu Tianlang opened the door and left.

Hey, honey… let me tell you about today…

The moment he stepped out, Lu Tianlang immediately made a phone call, walking away while talking.
