Chapter 97: Really a Proper Male Lead from a Proper Novel

Having me sell with Gu Chenxi

Ye Jin couldn’t help but complain: It doesn’t feel like we’re selling products.

Assistant Ye chuckled: What does it matter what we’re selling? It’s all selling, right?

Surprisingly, this made some sense.

Alright, let’s do the livestream. Ye Jin made her decision.

She needed to learn this shameless spirit from capitalists.

When it comes to making money, no method is beneath dignity.

Great! The assistant said cheerfully, I’ll go arrange the livestream schedule right away.

Livestreaming wasn’t as difficult as Ye Jin had imagined.

At least it was much easier than being Gu Chenxi’s assistant.

After several livestream sessions, the numbers in Ye Jin’s bank account were growing at an astonishing rate.

Setting aside their past romantic relationship, Ye Jin found working with Gu Chenxi quite comfortable because he was excellent at making money – with just a little effort on her part, she could easily ride his coattails to success.

If Ye Jin were to buy those hundred-thousand-yuan dresses now, she could do so without hesitation.

Have dinner together tonight?

After the livestream ended, Gu Chenxi sent an invitation.

Sure.

Ye Jin readily agreed, then said to her assistant and operations staff: Why don’t you join us? My treat.

Dining with Gu Chenxi would definitely not be low-end.

But both of them repeatedly declined:

No, no, I have plans with someone tonight.

I want to go home and play games.

Alright.

Not wanting to eat with the boss was understandable.

Especially when there were two bosses.

Then be careful on your way home. Ye Jin told them.

In the end, only Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi went for dinner together.

They went to an expensive private kitchen – few customers, quiet, perfect for enjoying a good meal amidst their busy schedules.

The system had nearly completed its work.

Returning to see this situation, it couldn’t help but speak up: Aren’t you going to date him again? You could directly cross social classes.

Ye Jin sighed: Although I like money, I’m not about to sell myself for it?

Her current situation was quite comfortable already.

Whatever money Gu Chenxi let slip through his fingers was a considerable fortune for Ye Jin.

With this money, she could live very well even without crossing social classes.

Most importantly, there was no pressure from dating.

Halfway through their meal, two customers from nearby suddenly approached.

Assistant Ye, President Gu, it really is you. The two girls introduced themselves somewhat excitedly, We’re your fans.

Recently, Ye Jin rarely went out in public.

So this was the first time she’d been approached offline.

She put down her chopsticks, slightly flustered: Hello.

The girls carefully kept their voices low, excitedly saying: We watch all your livestreams! Could we take a photo with you?

Gu Chenxi glanced up slightly: Private time, not convenient.

The two girls immediately stiffened, instantly feeling like retreating.

President Gu really was difficult to deal with in private

I bought an Exoskeleton. One girl suddenly remembered, quickly pulling up her phone’s order interface, This is my purchase record.

She cleverly handed her phone to Ye Jin.

Since she bought an Exoskeleton, that made her their customer.

Ye Jin immediately adopted a friendly attitude: Sure, you can take photos with me, okay?

The two girls nodded and took out their phones.

Ye Jin handed her phone to Gu Chenxi and smiled at him. Could you help take a photo?

The previously aloof CEO silently took the phone, lowering his gaze as he seriously helped them take pictures.

He handed the phone back to her.

Ye Jin looked at the photos with the two girls. Are the photos okay?

His attitude clearly implied he would retake them if they weren’t satisfied.

They’re fine, they’re fine.

CEO Gu takes great photos.

So Ye Jin returned the phone to them, already wearing a prepared farewell smile.

Another girl suddenly spoke timidly, I bought the Exoskeleton too. Could I take a photo of both of you together?

Ye Jin’s smile froze.

The young girl, afraid Ye Jin wouldn’t believe her, pulled up her purchase record to show her, then shyly explained, You’ve been making videos for so long, but there isn’t a single real photo of you two together online. All the Shipping photos circulating are photoshopped.

Ye Jin’s breath caught.

She couldn’t help but explain earnestly, It’s all scripted content. You don’t need to take it so seriously.

But Gu Chenxi nodded. We can.

!!

The two girls exchanged glances, seeing excitement in each other’s eyes.

They were Shipping so hard.

CEO Gu is totally in love.

Ye Jin:

He changed his tune so quickly.

Despite her internal complaints, Ye Jin still cooperated with them and took a couple photo with Gu Chenxi.

The two girls contentedly put away their phones and asked, Can we post today’s photos online?

I’m fine with it. Ye Jin turned to Gu Chenxi and asked, What about you?

Gu Chenxi nodded. Approved.

The two girls suppressed their excitement as they bid farewell and left.

Ye Jin felt quite stuffed after this meal.

Since she didn’t have a dog to walk back home now, she suggested taking a walk together after dinner.

Gu Chenxi readily agreed.

The autumn night breeze was cool, but Ye Jin wore a cashmere blazer and didn’t feel cold.

That dinner was truly delicious, Ye Jin couldn’t help remarking. So satisfying.

Ye Jin still had long wavy hair, though over time the curls had loosened considerably, bouncing softly around her shoulders and back, making her appear even more slender and delicate.

But Gu Chenxi knew very well this was just surface appearance.

She was strong – both mentally and spiritually – and had always known exactly what she wanted, neither greedy nor impulsive.

The energy contained within her was formidable.

Gu Chenxi chuckled softly, speaking with double meaning. Me too.

He had experienced it before, knew how it tasted.

So now he wasn’t in a hurry to possess it again.

As long as Ye Jin hadn’t left his world, that was satisfaction enough for him.

Thinking this, Gu Chenxi lowered his head and chuckled again.

Indeed, people only learn their lesson after suffering complete defeat.

Another month passed.

The weather had turned completely cold, yet Cheng Jinhua returned from Hainan instead.

Ye Jin drove to the airport to pick her up.

The system had cured Cheng Jinhua’s illness and, to make the change plausible, had rewritten her life trajectory.

In this merged new world, Cheng Jinhua had fortunately recovered after a serious illness, though her health remained fragile, hence her special trip to a convalescent home in Hainan for recuperation.

Ye Jin met Cheng Jinhua at the airport, laden with numerous bags.

Seeing Cheng Jinhua again after several months, Ye Jin nearly broke down.

Your hair has turned so much whiter.Ye Jin touched her mother’s hair with deep heartache.

Moreover, Cheng Jinhua’s appearance had aged considerably compared to before.

This is the price the system demanded for modifying Cheng Jinhua’s illness.

However, it doesn’t affect her health.

Didn’t it turn white long ago? Cheng Jinhua, in good spirits, said with a smile, It turned white the year I fell ill. Have you forgotten?

Ye Jin nodded: I remember.

Isn’t that what’s his name Cheng Jinhua pointed behind Ye Jin.

Ye Jin turned around.

She discovered Gu Chenxi walking toward them.

He was wearing his usual work suit, carrying himself with excellent posture, yet walking quickly. With his long strides, he soon reached them.

Auntie, Gu Chenxi greeted.

Hello, hello. Cheng Jinhua looked him up and down and couldn’t help but sigh, So handsome.

Gu Chenxi had a reserved demeanor, his suit neat and clean without any unnecessary wrinkles, appearing extremely tidy and fresh.

He was exactly the type elderly people favored the most.

Gu Chenxi took the luggage from Ye Jin’s hands.

Why are you here? Ye Jin asked, puzzled.

Gu Chenxi replied, To pick someone up.

He was sparing with his words, almost as if he couldn’t be bothered to offer more explanation to her, this blockhead.

Ye Jin felt somewhat looked down upon.

—

That evening, Guan Yan invited both families for a casual meal.

After the worlds merged, in Guan Yan’s memory, Ye Jin was no longer an orphan without parents, but she had still taken Ye Jin in as her goddaughter.

I owe you an apology.

Guan Yan raised her glass to toast Cheng Jinhua: I really adore Jinjin, so I couldn’t wait for your return and took her as my goddaughter.

I should thank you for taking care of Ye Jin, Cheng Jinhua replied, holding a glass of juice.

This was Cheng Jinhua’s first meal back, and to show respect, Guan Yan specially reserved a private room in a top-tier hotel. The decor was exquisite and luxurious, making quite a statement.

Yet Guan Yan still felt apologetic.

Even though Ye Jin had explained it to her many times, Guan Yan remained convinced that Gu Chenxi had mistreated her.

And to this day, her second son still showed no remorse.

At the dining table.

After offering her toast, Guan Yan fell silent for a moment before speaking directly: Jinjin, are you thinking about dating lately? Just tell me what kind of guy you like, and I’ll introduce you to someone.

She deliberately said this in front of Cheng Jinhua.

Then she glanced pointedly at Gu Chenxi.

His expression stiffened slightly.

Gu Qingyang, carefree and oblivious, chimed in, rubbing his hands nervously as he volunteered: Sis, how about considering me? Would dating me work?

Don’t cause trouble,

Guan Yan scolded, What does this have to do with you?

Oh.

He wasn’t worthy, he knew it.

In the entire room, Gu Chenxi and Gu Qingyang sat the farthest apart, acting as if the other didn’t exist.

But when Gu Qingyang volunteered himself, a cold glint flashed in Gu Chenxi’s eyes as he shot an icy glance at him.

No need, Godmother, Ye Jin quickly said, I’m not planning on dating anyone recently.

Guan Yan replied, If you’re not thinking about it, then take a couple more years to enjoy yourself. I’m not rushing you to get married.

She just wanted to use the opportunity, with Ye Jin’s mother present, to give her stubborn second son a wake-up call.

Ye Jin said, Okay.

That topic was considered closed.

She secretly glanced sideways at Gu Chenxi.

At the table, Guan Yan and Cheng Jinhua sat together, with Gu Qingyang and Ye Jin on either side of them.

Gu Chenxi sat next to Ye Jin.

Ye Jin was a bit worried that Gu Chenxi might lose his temper, but he appeared calm now, showing no signs of going mad, which relieved her.

Throughout the entire meal, Gu Chenxi remained quiet.

Yet Ye Jin inexplicably felt he was falling apart again.

This made her nervously afraid he might suddenly cause trouble, after all, Gu Chenxi had pulled plenty of outrageous stunts in the past.

We’ll head off first now.

As the gathering dispersed after the meal, Ye Jin helped Cheng Jinhua into the car first.

Guan Yan and Gu Qingyang also walked off in another direction.

Ye Jin.

Gu Chenxi suddenly called her name.

He stood not far away, his face slightly tilted, looking utterly pitiful.

Really don’t want me? he asked.

Ye Jin shook her head: No.

Couldn’t afford to.

Don’t be afraid of me, Gu Chenxi murmured softly with downcast eyes. I accept you dating others.

Huh? Ye Jin instinctively voiced her confusion.

What did he mean by accepting her dating others?

It didn’t sound like he was giving up.

Mhm.

He responded with a faint smile.

Exactly as she thought.

Ye Jin: …………

He really was both perverted and insane.

Was Gu Chenxi truly the proper male lead of a proper novel?
