The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 93: ...I Don't Want to Talk About It Now...

Chapter 93: …I Don’t Want to Talk About It Now…

Let’s go, Li Ge.

As soon as she got in the car, Ye Jin sent the destination to Li Yong.

Li Yong opened the navigation and replied, Alright.

Ye Jin was in a good mood.

She tilted her head to glance at Gu Chenxi.

Since they weren’t going to the company today, Gu Chenxi was unusually not wearing formal attire but rather light, casual long clothes and pants. He leaned back in his seat with his eyes slightly closed, his expression calm, yet he still carried the imposing aura of a powerful figure.

Noticing Ye Jin looking at him, Gu Chenxi lowered his gaze and glanced at her as well.

He still remembered the rule about not looking at her and faithfully adhered to it, covering most of his pupils with his thick eyelashes.

Where are we going? he asked.

Ye Jin hummed in response, To the square to feed the pigeons?

It sounded quite leisurely.

It would have been even better without the third wheel in front.

Gu Chenxi lazily withdrew his gaze.

–

Last night, many people came across content they had never seen before on their feeds.

The video platform’s explanation was that they had changed the algorithm for big data, breaking the information cocoon, which led to this situation.

Ye Jin successfully searched for herself using this world’s internet.

In just one night, her account gained four million followers and was still growing at a terrifying rate.

The engagement on each of her videos had also increased significantly.

Yet, Ye Jin couldn’t feel happy about it at all.

She now felt as if she had been exposed to the whole world, repeatedly embarrassing herself in front of colleagues, friends, and everyone else she had interacted with.

Looking back now, Gu Chenxi’s reaction yesterday had been quite gentle.

After all, he had been publicly rumored to be impotent in front of the entire nation.

Ah, what a mess this was.

Ye Jin quietly digested these thoughts for a while alone when she suddenly realized that Gu Chenxi seemed unusually quiet.

So, she tilted her head to look at him.

Gu Chenxi was wearing clip-on earphones and holding his phone with one hand, watching a video.

A bad premonition struck Ye Jin, and she asked, What are you watching?

Gu Chenxi casually tilted the phone toward her.

Sure enough, it was one of her videos.

After one video finished, Gu Chenxi tapped the screen twice, sending out special effect hearts, then swiped to the next one.

…He even liked it!

Ye Jin leaned over, took Gu Chenxi’s phone, closed the video, and said in embarrassment, Stop watching.

Gu Chenxi’s hand was now empty.

So, he casually pulled Ye Jin over and held her in his arms, lowering his head to whisper in her ear, Call me husband.

Husband, my foot.

Ye Jin pushed Gu Chenxi away forcefully and tossed his phone back to him.

He caught the phone steadily.

Gu Chenxi let out a soft chuckle, unbothered by her rejection.

–

Ye Jin had already done her research beforehand. As soon as they got out of the car, she went to buy pigeon feed.

Li Yong locked the car and followed them.

He walked half a step behind Gu Chenxi.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yong finally spoke up, President Gu, this really isn’t appropriate.

Things had finally developed into what Li Yong dreaded the most.

President Gu, unable to win Ye Assistant’s affection, had resorted to forced love now that they had fallen out.

Assistant Ye had suddenly resigned and disappeared, only to reappear by President Gu’s side, stripped of her job position.

She must have suffered a lot during this time.

At this thought, Li Yong mustered his courage again to speak impartially: If you truly like Assistant Ye, please let her go.

Gu Chenxi was unjustly accused out of nowhere.

He couldn’t be bothered to explain, only saying indifferently: No.

Li Yong was left speechless.

Ye Jin walked over holding three portions of pigeon feed, curious: What are you talking about?

It was rare to see Gu Chenxi chatting with someone.

Discussing viruses, Gu Chenxi explained without changing expression. Pigeons can carry over fifty types of viruses.

He tossed the pigeon feed from Ye Jin’s hands to Li Yong, telling him: You feed them.

Ye Jin:…

How rude of him.

Sorry, sorry.

After Gu Chenxi turned and left, Ye Jin retrieved one portion of the pigeon feed from Li Yong, pointed to her own head, and whispered: There’s something wrong with his head, Li Ge, don’t be angry.

Li Yong, being very good-natured, waved it off: It’s fine, it’s my fault.

After all, he’d said something that made President Gu angry.

Li Yong thought for a moment, then said: If you encounter any difficulties needing help in the future, tell me promptly, especially regarding President Gu…

Halfway through hearing this, Gu Chenxi suddenly returned and led Ye Jin away.

What are you doing?

She hadn’t heard the second half.

Gu Chenxi held Ye Jin’s hand, This place is unstable, don’t wander around.

Truly worthy of being the male lead, his perception is so sharp.

Ye Jin pressed her lips together and didn’t speak.

This morning, the system had briefly appeared and told her some news: because the story progression had been completely disrupted, the stability of the novel world was continuously weakening and had completely lost its uniqueness.

Moreover, the barrier between Ye Jin’s original world and this world was inherently fragile.

So they were inevitably merging.

In about two days, the two worlds would completely merge into one, and Ye Jin wouldn’t need to time-travel to see her mother.

[I’m just giving you a heads-up.]

The world merger had practically driven the system crazy.

It needed to rationalize all abnormalities caused by the world merger, handling every minute detail and regulation.

It had barely squeezed out time to notify Ye Jin.

After quickly explaining the whole story without waiting for Ye Jin to respond, the system directly vanished.

Gu Chenxi still didn’t know about this.

I have good news to tell you, Ye Jin said mysteriously. Do you want to hear it?

Gu Chenxi glanced at her with a faint expression, asking: You’re not going home?

…No.

The expected answer.

Gu Chenxi smiled, his tone cool: Then I don’t want to hear it.

He would only accept that one specific answer.

You.

Ye Jin’s fists clenched. You’re simply impossible to communicate with.

Then let’s not communicate, Gu Chenxi lowered his gaze, his eyes settling on her lips. Kiss me instead.

Just listen.

What kind of outrageous things is he saying.

That underdeveloped nerve in Ye Jin’s brain kept being plucked by him.

You have just over sixty hours before you leave.

Gu Chenxi could guess what she was thinking. Rather than spending time arguing, we should kiss more times.

…In such a public place.

He’s simply outrageous.

Ye Jin was both annoyed and angry, stopping him: Don’t say anymore.

Gu Chenxi proposed a condition: One kiss.

Ye Jin gritted her teeth: Impossible.

She didn’t have the habit of kissing in public.

So Gu Chenxi changed to another: Then call me husband.

…Call you my foot!

Ye Jin was thoroughly provoked, gritting her teeth as she said, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.

The two worlds had merged; they would no longer be separated.

But the thought of being in a relationship with someone like him filled Ye Jin with despair.

Perhaps she didn’t actually like Gu Chenxi that much after all.

Maybe she was just like Lord Ye who claimed to love dragons but feared the real thing.

And so
Let’s break up, Ye Jin said to him with sincerity.

Fine, Gu Chenxi agreed easily, taking her hand as he added, Let’s get married instead.

He toyed with the diamond ring on Ye Jin’s finger, lifting his gaze to ask, Do you need me to get down on one knee right now?

…

Gu Chenxi had a particular talent for giving absurd replies.

Ye Jin snatched her hand back abruptly. You’ve lost your mind.

Of course.

He had already lost it long ago.

Gu Chenxi let out a soft laugh.

Suddenly, the idea of marriage seemed quite appealing to him. Let’s go get our marriage certificate this afternoon.

Truthfully, Gu Chenxi had never considered what he would do if Ye Jin left.

For now, he was just taking things one day at a time.

Ye Jin took a fearful step back. …I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

She had assumed that if she left this time, Gu Chenxi would at most be resentful but would otherwise remain rational and sane.

But reality seemed to be the complete opposite.

He retained only the outer shell of rationality—inside, he was utterly broken.

This time, Ye Jin was genuinely frightened by him.

Let’s break up. I mean it, she insisted, unwilling to let this mistake continue.

Just as Ye Jin was about to say more, a sudden exclamation came from the distance: The sky has cleared!

The hazy sky brightened in an instant.

The sun emerged from behind the clouds, parting the layers of mist and casting golden rays across the ground.

The surface of the nearby lake shimmered with sparkling ripples.

Once again, the worlds were merging.

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Ye Jin’s eyes lit up.

Several months earlier
Ye Jin had come here feeling disheartened, hoping to clear her mind. While petting a dog’s head, she and the Border Collie had been swept away into Gu Chenxi’s world.

Now, overjoyed, she ran forward, finally feeling the tangible sense of returning home.

None of the passersby or tourists around seemed to notice anything amiss.

It was as if the lake had always been there.

Gu Chenxi stood frozen.

He had instinctively reached out to grab Ye Jin, but a sudden sensation of weightlessness made him miss.

When the dizziness subsided
An unfamiliar environment surrounded him.

He closed his eyes, slowly processing the abrupt changes.

Standing by the lake, Ye Jin contemplated where to go next.

Her home had been renovated but was still airing out, and she had sent Cheng Jinhua to a convalescent home in Hainan for a recuperative vacation.

Maybe she could buy a plane ticket and fly to Hainan.

Ye Jin felt a slight headache coming on.

Not far away, Gu Chenxi had taken down a flyer from under a streetlight and was staring at it intently.

It was a worn, nearly decayed missing dog notice:

Heavy reward offered for a female Border Collie named Lucky, under two years old. Generous compensation for any useful information.

Ye Jin walked over and saw the flyer in Gu Chenxi’s hand.

Do you understand now what I was trying to tell you?

With Gu Chenxi’s intelligence
A single old missing dog notice was enough for him to connect the clues and reach a conclusion.

Gu Chenxi stared blankly at Ye Jin, his eyes reddening as overwhelming emotions surged within him.

He was too moved to speak.

But it’s also true that I want to break up with you.

She lowered her head apologetically and said, It seems we’re not really compatible.

Too out of sync, and far from harmonious.

She still didn’t like someone as domineering as Gu Chenxi.
