The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 49: So Easygoing He Started Calling Her Baby...

Chapter 49: So Easygoing He Started Calling Her Baby…

As soon as she returned to her workstation, Ye Jin began composing an email while working up her emotions.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Finally finished with the urgent matters.

Darling, thank you for listening to my complaints during this time and giving me so much comfort.

Ill definitely repay you properly in the future.

When writing the part about repaying properly, Ye Jin almost failed to suppress her overwhelming murderous intent.

So she cut her losses in time and sent the email.

Not long after, she received a response.

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

No trouble.

Ye Jin had been waiting all along.

The moment she received the email, she immediately picked up the prepared documents and pushed open the door to Gu Chenxis office.

Inside the office.

Gu Chenxi was in the middle of a video conference, his slender fingers interlaced, clearly fully immersed.

Noticing Ye Jins entrance, he gave her a questioning look.

Ye Jin placed the documents on his desk, silently indicating they needed signatures.

Gu Chenxi took them, signed casually, closed them, and handed them back to her.

Ye Jin received them with both hands and left the office.

This isnt right.

Holding the documents, Ye Jin felt puzzled. Based on her understanding of Gu Chenxi, he would absolutely never do other things while working.

Moreover, observing Gu Chenxis state, he was clearly focused on the meeting and wasnt doing anything else.

And before, when she and Gu Chenxi were in the same space, Gu Chenxi clearly hadnt been typing, yet she had received emails from Yan Rong.

Ye Jin suddenly thought of something and went to check the sending times in her mailbox.

They were scattered.

Even the last digits of the seconds were completely random.

Ye Jin unconsciously gritted her teeth.

Well done, Gu Chenxi.

Hiding your alternate identity so thoroughly – even setting random times for scheduled sending, leaving no loopholes at all.

Using all your cunning tricks for this.

Ye Jins fists clenched again.

So she began writing an email furiously, yet started with a coquettish tone.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

So cold, only three words in reply.

And not even a pet name.

I should have known earlier that youre tired of me…

Considering the overly emotional emails she had previously sent to Yan Rong, Ye Jin naturally established herself as a drama queen persona.

So its a dating game.

Then shed play along with him, to see how many days Gu Chenxi could last.

The video conference ended.

Gu Chenxi subconsciously reached for his phone.

Seeing the new email from Assistant Ye, his entire body stiffened before gradually relaxing.

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

Not tired of you, baby.

He felt inexplicably warm in the face.

Just because he hadnt called her baby, Assistant Ye would actually think so much.

Is dating really this troublesome?

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

Baby, I wont do it again.

Blushing, he typed this additional sentence.

Because his emotions were fluctuating too intensely, Gu Chenxi didnt even set up scheduled sending, but directly sent the email out.

But fortunately.

Just earlier, without his knowledge, Ye Jin had already tested him once, so she wouldnt suddenly push the door open now.

Otherwise, with just a door between them, if Ye Jin saw his current expression, everything would be over.

After receiving the email, Ye Jin immediately took a screenshot and saved it.

Then she placed the screenshot in a folder named Dating Diary.

For now, its called Daily Romance, but in the future, it could also be called Leverage or Survival Guide.

If things ever came to light and Gu Chenxi tried to sabotage her, she would definitely compile these screenshots into an extra-long PDF and send it to the entire company with one click.

Shed make sure he lost all face and suffered social death.

Go ahead, send more—the more, the better.

Ye Jin smiled with satisfaction.

No matter what, at least she had secured her own survival first.

In the afternoon, Ye Jin received the itinerary for the second half of the month from Gu Chenxi.

It was mostly fieldwork and business trips, with very little time spent in the office.

Ye Jin knew this meant things were about to get busy again. Vastness was an established industrial group.

Apart from major areas like sales and production, most other tasks were minor and didnt require much effort.

So, after struggling for a while, Ye Jin had adapted.

Now, her work focus was gradually shifting beyond Vastness.

Ye Jin replied as usual to confirm receipt.

Then, she turned to writing an email to Yan Rong.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Darling, I cant help but feel somethings off. Are you and President Gu… Ah, never mind, maybe Im overthinking.

Send.

Ye Jin listened carefully for any movement in the office.

The office door had good soundproofing, but she had deliberately left a small crack earlier.

Tap.

Something seemed to have fallen to the ground.

She pursed her lips and smiled, typing cheerfully to smooth things over.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Leaving things half-said doesnt feel right, so Ill just say it all.

I wanted to ask, do you and President Gu communicate often?

Last time, I complained to you about the extended business trip without prior notice, and this time, President Gu actually sent me a detailed itinerary.

Come clean—did you have anything to do with this?

The last business trip felt like a distant memory, and Ye Jin had never mentioned it directly to Gu Chenxi.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Chenxi had let his guard down.

If she didnt raise the question now, it might seem suspicious.

Leave no room for doubt—just something she learned from Gu Chenxi.

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

Actually, I did mention it to President Gu.

President Gu isnt as intimidating as you think. Hes always easygoing when it comes to work-related matters.

So, dont be afraid.

After Ye Jin sent her email, it took quite a while before she received a reply from Yan Rong. Gu Chenxi had probably set a delayed send to avoid exposing himself.

Easygoing?

Ye Jin sneered inwardly.

Sure, hes easygoing.

To keep her working at Vastness, hed been easygoing enough to start calling her baby.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Is that so? Well, that puts my mind at ease.

Hehe, thanks, baby Love you

Sweet and coquettish, complete with a tilde.

Ye Jin silently repeated the words to herself and shuddered, feeling goosebumps rise.

In the office.

When Gu Chenxi saw the email, a blush spread from his neck all the way to his ears.

He tilted his head back and downed his already cold coffee in one gulp, barely managing to compose himself.

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

Mm.

Love you too.

Ye Jin: …

He certainly took it well.

Expressionless, Ye Jin took a screenshot with one click and saved the email in a folder.

In some ways, Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi had similar personalities.

For instance, they both kept work and personal emotions strictly separate.

After reviewing the itinerary sent by Gu Chenxi, Ye Jin immediately booked her flight and hotel for that same night. She finished up her work at Vastness, then went straight home to pack.

Having experienced several such sudden business trips before, Ye Jin had become quite adept at handling them.

The only thing she was concerned about was the System and Border Collie.

So she enrolled them in a dog school with dedicated staff to take them for walks morning and evening.

Dragging her luggage, Ye Jin bid them farewell: Have fun, Im heading out now.

Border Collie accompanied Ye Jin all the way to the door.

The System remained silent the entire time.

It felt somewhat uneasy inside.

Looking across the entire transmigration community, there wasnt any precedent where the host went out to work hard while the System stayed home enjoying leisure.

The door closed, leaving the room in silence.

The System began regretting not saying goodbye to Ye Jin.

Suddenly, the electronic lock beeped several times.

The door pushed open.

Ye Jin muttered: I think I forgot something.

She searched around the room for a while.

Ah, found it.

Ye Jin knelt on one knee to hug Border Collie, patting its head with a gentle smile, Dont fight with Border Collie at home, okay?

Ye Jins sudden return made the System feel all emotional inside.

Got it. The System turned away, not wanting to look at Ye Jin, Border Collie and I get along really well now.

Leaving now, bye-bye.

This time, Ye Jin really left.

Using Border Collies sensitive ears, the System could hear the gradually fading sound of suitcase wheels.

No, we cant just sit around doing nothing.

The System analyzed professionally, With Ye Jin, our mouthpiece, gone, theres no one to monitor the plot.

System: We need to help keep an eye on it for her.

Border Collie barked in response.

It didnt understand what this voice was saying, but it definitely meant no harm.

The System fell into thought.

Border Collie! Ive got an idea.

The System said excitedly, Didnt Guan Yan just get a dog? Lets go make friends with that Samoyed puppy.

Simple enough, right? The System asked.

Woof!

Border Collie continued responding without understanding anything.

Ye Jin pulled her suitcase out of the residential complex.

The pitch-black Bentley was quietly parked in its usual spot.

Li Ge came down to help with her luggage, arranging three suitcases neatly side by side in the trunk.

During the drive to the airport, Ye Jin remained quiet – either resting with her eyes closed or reviewing materials on her tablet, appearing completely normal.

After observing her several times, Gu Chenxi gradually relaxed his worried heart.

This continued until they boarded the plane.

Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi were in first class, while Li Yong was in business class.

Their seats were side by side.

The moment Gu Chenxi sat down,

he turned to find Assistant Ye already typing away on her phone, not even having taken her bag off her shoulder.

His heart tightened, almost making him jump up from his seat again.

No need to guess.

Assistant Ye must be emailing Yan Rong.

Gu Chenxi lowered his gaze, nervously swallowing as he adjusted his posture with feigned calmness and took out his phone.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Boarded the plane, going on a business trip with President Gu.

Just remembered – the Double-color ball lottery I bought draws at 8pm tonight.

Honey, Ill have poor signal on the plane. Could you please record the winning numbers and email them to me? Pretty please, I want to see the results as soon as possible.

Thanks thanks, love you, baby.

Reading this email made Gu Chenxi break out in a cold sweat.

Not far away, Ye Jin was scanning the code to connect to the airplanes Wi-Fi, completely unaware of the changes on his side.

Gu Chenxi pretended to remain calm and also began scanning the code to connect to the wireless network.

He could only hope that the airplanes signal would be stable enough at eight oclock for him to check the Double-color ball lottery numbers.

Otherwise, he would be exposed in front of Assistant Ye.

Gu Chenxi was accustomed to having everything under control, but now he was suddenly forced to leave his fate in the hands of chance.

The feeling was unbearable.

His fingers even went numb.

The flight lasted five hours.

For the first three and a half hours, Gu Chenxi remained restless and uneasy.

Ye Jin sneered inwardly, pretending not to notice Gu Chenxis unusual behavior.

But after all, Gu Chenxi was the male lead, favored by fate.

After the lottery results page spun for a full three minutes, the complete winning numbers finally appeared.

Gu Chenxi sent the numbers to Ye Jin, feeling a wave of relief.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Got it, but unfortunately, we didn’t win. What a pity

It’s so boring on the plane—there’s nothing to do. What are you up to now, sweetheart? Send me a photo so I can see

After sending the email, Ye Jin discreetly glanced toward Gu Chenxi.

He noticed him holding his phone motionless, as if frozen in place.
