One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

She and Pei Yue might never see each other again, and Ye Bingtong’s voice carried a trace of gentleness.

She did have feelings for Pei Yue.

It’s just that.

No matter how deep the feelings, they can’t overcome reality.

Pei Yue, don’t blame me, I’m just choosing to make life a little more comfortable for myself.

Pei Yue narrowed his eyes at Ye Bingtong, suddenly saying, “I remember, it has been quite a while since I’ve spent a whole day with you. Today I’m already late. I might as well take a leave and stay at home to accompany you all day.”

“No!” Ye Bingtong was startled and blurted out reflexively.

“Hmm?” Pei Yue looked at her with some confusion.

Ye Bingtong began to panic and tried to think of an excuse, “You… you said you wanted to work hard to give me a wonderful future. How can you slack off.”

Pei Yue’s lips curved slightly, “You are more important than work. As for work, I can start trying hard again tomorrow.”

Ye Bingtong became even more panicked.

If Pei Yue stayed home all day, how would she go to meet Gu Cheng?

This was a chance she had finally managed to get!

Ye Bingtong tried every means to persuade Pei Yue to go to work, but Pei Yue, pretending to be unaware, just sat there, not moving an inch.

Ye Xiao watched the two of them tug-of-war, seemingly quite entertained.

Indeed, Pei Yue asked for a day off just to stay with Ye Bingtong. However, after dinner, he probably found an excuse to leave, allowing Ye Bingtong to meet with Gu Cheng. In fact, Pei Yue followed secretly all the way there.

On Gu Cheng’s side, he had also let the servant take him out for a breather, but when the time was almost up, he dismissed the servant.

Gu Cheng and Ye Bingtong finally met.

The story stops here.

The following part is still being input.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but snort coldly.

The book is just afraid that she would prepare in advance and ruin this meeting, right?

Rest assured. As long as she knows the plot in advance, even just a minute ahead, she can make timely adjustments!

She still has that typing speed!

Ye Xiao took out her phone and sent Gu Yan a message.

“What is Gu Cheng most afraid of?”

Almost at the same time.

Gu Yan also sent a message over.

“Gu Cheng and Ye Bingtong have arranged a meeting.”

Ye Xiao was startled.

She had the book and could always watch the plot unfold.

Gu Yan had also noticed immediately, indicating he had many eyes and ears around Gu Cheng.

The next moment.

Ye Xiao and Gu Yan, again, sent messages at the same time.

“Gu Cheng’s weakness is that he’s afraid of ghosts.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Ye Xiao blinked.

Gu Cheng’s weakness is… fear of ghosts?

That direction is pretty clear then!

Gu Yan faltered for a moment, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He made a direct call.

Ye Xiao answered the call.

“Hello,” the man’s voice was deep and powerful.

Ye Xiao felt an inexplicable itch in her throat and coughed lightly before responding.

Gu Yan spoke gently, “They have arranged to meet tonight in front of the fountain in Central Park. Do you have any plans?”

Ye Xiao hesitated.

Of course, she had plans.

But she couldn’t reveal to others that she could modify the plot.

Ye Xiao just said, “Not really. Perhaps, after they meet, Gu Cheng will discover Ye Bingtong’s true character on his own?”

From the incident on the basketball court earlier, Gu Yan had vaguely guessed that Ye Xiao had some unique way to interfere with the plot, but he didn’t speak or ask about it, merely saying, “I just think that Central Park has a rather nice view at night. How about we both go for a stroll in the park tonight? Maybe, we will just happen to bump into Gu Cheng and Ye Bingtong.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up.

In the dead of night, her parents definitely wouldn’t feel at ease letting her go out.

Originally, she was prepared to only remotely control the situation, unable to watch the live drama unfold.

But now, has there been a turn of events?

If Gu Yan was involved, he should be able to put her parents at ease!

Ye Xiao agreed without hesitation, “Okay. Then you come to the Ye Family to pick me up tonight.”

Gu Yan knew Ye Xiao was only interested in the excitement, but the feeling of what seemed like a date still brought a slight smile to his lips.

His voice became even gentler, “Alright. I’ll come pick you up tonight.”

Ye Xiao nodded happily.

As expected of her!

She always managed to be at the forefront of the action!

Truly a chosen one when it came to watching dramas unfold!

Night fell quickly.

As the arranged time drew closer, Gu Cheng began to feel somewhat anxious.

He didn’t know why he had impulsively agreed to Ye Bingtong’s request to meet.

Clearly, he had thought it through before, that under no circumstances should he get involved with Ye Bingtong again, but the moment she cried, it was like his brain was controlled, and he inexplicably said yes.

After the call ended.

Gu Cheng started to regret it.

He clearly had no intention of reconciling with Ye Bingtong, but wouldn’t this agreement lead to misunderstandings?

It wouldn’t be serious if Ye Bingtong misunderstood, but if his older brother misunderstood, he would be done for, he really would be done for!

Gu Cheng couldn’t help but clench his teeth.

Maybe, just stand her up?

But he had a feeling that if he stood her up this time, there would be a next time, and this issue would never be completely resolved.

Then… go meet Ye Bingtong once, and then, make everything clear with her.

If she kept contacting him like this, she might not suffer any consequences, but he would definitely get his legs broken by his older brother.

Oh, his legs were already broken.

This was even more dangerous.

What if his third leg was broken!

Gu Cheng shivered, feeling utterly terrible.

“Second Young Master. The First Young Master said he needs to go out for a walk after dinner. May I take you out?” The servant walked in tiptoeing.

Gu Cheng’s expression stiffened for a moment, and he responded softly, “Where’s Big Brother?”

“The First Young Master has gone out. It seems he went to the Ye Family,” the servant said.

Gu Cheng let out a sigh of relief.

The Ye Family.

Big Brother must have gone to find Ye Xiao.

That means Big Brother definitely won’t be back for a while.

“What about Mother?” Gu Cheng asked again.

“Madam is waiting downstairs, said she would like to go for a walk with you,” the servant replied.

Gu Cheng started to feel nervous again.

Mother is coming along too…

However, compared to Big Brother, his mother, Ya Huijun, was still much easier to deal with.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and finally agreed, “Okay.”

He went downstairs.

Ya Huijun was indeed waiting.

She waved at Gu Cheng, a smile appearing on her face, “I don’t have anything in particular to do tonight, so it’s perfect for accompanying you for a walk.”

Gu Cheng, wheeling his chair over, said, “Mother, I’d like to go somewhere farther away tonight, how about Central Park?”

A look of surprise appeared on Ya Huijun’s face, “Xiao Cheng, are you finally willing to get out and about? That’s wonderful! If you could move on from your previous shadows earlier, nothing would make me happier.”

Gu Cheng felt somewhat guilty, but he still managed a strained smile, “Mother, don’t worry, I have already let go.”

Tonight, he wasn’t looking to rekindle old flames with Ye Bingtong, he just wanted to make things clear.

Their previous goodbye had been too hasty.

This time, let it be a thorough farewell between them.
