The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 66: The Paper Window Is Already This Thin, Yet

Chapter 66: The Paper Window Is Already This Thin, Yet

Ye Jin glanced at her phone.

Spam message. Ye Jin chuckled awkwardly and put away her phone as if nothing had happened. Mr. Gu, are you here to wake me up?

She answered her own question: Then let’s go downstairs quickly.

Without waiting for Gu Chenxi’s response, Ye Jin directly walked past him and headed downstairs.

Border Collie immediately followed.

But in reality, Ye Jin wasn’t nearly as calm as she appeared.

She asked the system with deep regret in her heart: Where did you two go last night? You could have at least warned me if you were nearby.

I watched you all night. The system’s voice sounded somewhat resentful. But who knew you would start harassing the male lead from zero frames.

Moreover, from the moment Ye Jin took advantage by touching his face, the work records had triggered privacy protection.

The system’s side was completely pixelated, with no idea what had happened.

It wasn’t until Gu Chenxi left that the system’s work records returned to normal.

Alright

This was ultimately her own fault.

Ye Jin felt anxious: So what should we do now? Can we still complete our mission?

The system remained silent for a moment: Are you that eager to go home?

Of course I am.

Hadn’t she been working so hard all this time just to go home?

Ye Jin grew nervous: I’m not going to be stuck here, am I?

You can go back. The system reassured her. Our mission is already 80% complete. No matter how things develop in the end, I will definitely find a way for you and Border Collie to return home.

I feel relieved hearing that. Ye Jin was touched. Don’t worry, I will seriously work on bringing the male and female leads together from now on.

Even after being exposed, was Ye Jin still not giving up?

The system felt somewhat embarrassed.

It had thought that after last night’s events, Ye Jin would choose to try dating Gu Chenxi.

After all, the atmosphere had been built up to that point.

The system gently reminded her: Actually, there’s nothing wrong with you dating the male lead.

After all, the male lead had already been unilaterally dating for so long, and it hadn’t affected their mission progress.

By this time, Ye Jin had reached downstairs.

She stopped communicating with the system, greeted Guan Yan, and the two sat down to have breakfast together.

Not long after they sat down, Gu Chenxi came down as well.

He was wearing old clothes from his younger days – gray, with good design that still looked fashionable today.

Instead, they made him appear younger, reducing much of the authoritative aura he had during work.

Gu Chenxi sat beside Ye Jin and glanced at her again.

The latter remained expressionless, eating her sandwich with single-minded focus.

After breakfast, Ye Jin announced her departure, calmly telling Guan Yan: I’m going back to check on the child. Not seeing them for a night, the child must be missing me.

Gu Chenxi:

Hearing this, Guan Yan naturally agreed immediately.

Fortunately, she had already prepared everything in advance.

Guan Yan: Take these things back with you.

Guan Yan had prepared a large bag full of items – red wine, ham, cheese, and other things they had discussed while drinking last night.

Ye Jin didn’t refuse and said sweetly: Thank you, Godmother.

Then, Gu Chenxi helped her put the things in the trunk.

Thank you, Mr. Gu. We’ll see each other at the company on Monday. Ye Jin closed the trunk and continued with polite farewells.

Gu Chenxi stared at her lips.

Compared to President Gu, he actually preferred to hear some other form of address.

The truth was indeed hard to accept, and he could give her time to gradually adapt.

But now it was too late for regrets.

Ye Jin felt extremely guilty inside. She instinctively stepped back, forcing an awkward smile. Um, President Gu, I still need to go home to nurse the child, so I’ll be leaving now.

After saying this, she immediately got into the car.

Only then did she let out a sigh of relief, rolled down the window, and prepared to reverse and leave.

Seatbelt, Gu Chenxi reminded as he approached.

Perhaps because he didn’t speak often, Gu Chenxi’s voice was clear and smooth, especially when he spoke in a low tone—it made one’s ears tingle.

Ye Jin released the accelerator and lowered her head to fasten her seatbelt.

Then I’m off.

Ye Jin smiled brightly as she bid him farewell again.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Chenxi suddenly smile as well.

A bad premonition abruptly arose in Ye Jin’s heart.

And then her premonition came true.

Taking advantage of his height, Gu Chenxi leaned in through the car window and pressed her engine shut-off button.

Ye Jin subtly tried to lean away, but with the seatback right behind her, she had no choice but to hold her breath and cautiously shift to the right.

Gu Chenxi cupped her cheeks, drew her back, and then leaned in to give her a light kiss.

He chuckled, his voice deep as he said, Go ahead.

Ye Jin: …………

Gu Chenxi withdrew from the car window, in high spirits.

He was curious to see how long his girlfriend could keep up her stubborn act.

His smile was so sinister.

Ye Jin silently started the Land Rover, then, right in front of Gu Chenxi, wiped her lips with clear disdain.

Gu Chenxi’s expression shifted slightly but soon returned to a smile.

On the way home.

The Border Collie leaned forward from the back seat, and the system asked incredulously: And you’re still not going to date him?

Ye Jin’s work records had privacy protection, so the system didn’t know what had happened yesterday.

But this time, it had witnessed the entire scene through the Border Collie’s eyes.

Ye Jin: Even a dog wouldn’t date him!

System: …

Be careful not to curse yourself in the future.

The system was actually quite optimistic about the two of them and tried to play matchmaker: But you’ve already kissed.

And not just once, but twice.

So what if we kissed? Ye Jin said. Who says kissing means you have to date? Besides, those were all accidents—they don’t count.

After spending so many days together, Ye Jin had now figured out the pattern of when Gu Chenxi would speak.

His tight-lipped setting mainly applied to the main storyline, and the bigger the issue or conflict, the less Gu Chenxi, as the male lead, could communicate openly.

The romance line was part of the main storyline.

And it accounted for a significant portion.

That’s why, even though Gu Chenxi had been in a one-sided relationship for so long, he had never formally acknowledged it—all because of this reason.

Gu Chenxi is bound by his settings; it’s simply impossible for him to say it out loud.

Ye Jin gripped the steering wheel calmly and said, So as long as I don’t take the initiative to bring it up, no matter how thin this window paper gets, it won’t break.

Thinking of this, Ye Jin finally felt a bit more at ease.

Gu Chenxi can only resort to these little moves. She snorted lightly, mocking him. So beneath dignity.

System: …

Let’s just say, if the window paper is already transparent, does it really still need to exist?

But it must be admitted that the system was quite impressed by Ye Jin.

Impressed by her mental victory strategy.
