CHAPTER 193: CHAPTER 193: YE HAO’S CONFUSION

Ever since Ye Hao returned to the military, at first, Yang Lin frequently brought things to visit Ye Hao.

It’s unclear whether Ye Hao feared Gu Yi might have thoughts about this, or if he was cautious about the gossip within the unit.

When Yang Lin came over, Ye Hao rarely paid her any attention.

Gradually, Yang Lin visited less often.

Yet each time Yang Lin came, Chen Jun’s mother would somehow coincidentally pass by their house.

Then she would invite Yang Lin to their house, and the two of them would leave Ye Hao’s place together.

Ye Hao and Gu Yi quietly spent more than a month like this.

One day, Liang Yesheng called to say that their company was about to lay the foundation for a factory on the land they had purchased.

The groundbreaking ceremony would be held the next day, and he wanted Gu Yi to attend.

Gu Yi initially said she wouldn’t go, fearing it might be inconvenient for Ye Hao to be home alone.

"This is the first step in our business journey. Using tomorrow’s ceremony, I plan to present our land to everyone. I’ve invited many friends, and I can introduce them to you. I also invited Li Yitian. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you, as a partner, not to be there? We’re also planning a celebration afterward."

Liang Yesheng said these things over the phone. Seeing Gu Yi’s hesitation, he persuaded her for a while longer.

"Okay, what time tomorrow?"

Gu Yi was finally convinced by Liang Yesheng.

"Ten oh eight, the ceremony officially starts. How about I have Yitian pick you up, or I can send a driver for you?"

Gu Yi mentioned she wasn’t in the city and that the military’s location was diagonally opposite from the east of the city.

It would be difficult for Gu Yi to get there in time.

"I’ll call Yitian and have him pick me up tomorrow."

Gu Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, I’ll head to the site first tomorrow and wait for you there."

Seeing Gu Yi could arrange it herself, Liang Yesheng didn’t insist on picking her up.

After all, he was somewhat of a main character tomorrow, having invited quite a few notable figures in B City to the ceremony.

Even though he had delegated the specific arrangements for the ceremony to his team, he still needed to go to the site early for reception work.

After hanging up, Gu Yi called Li Yitian.

"I knew it was you calling."

Li Yitian said as soon as he answered the phone.

"Brother Liang mentioned attending the ceremony tomorrow. It’s inconvenient for me to go from here, so I thought of having you pick me up. Is that okay?"

Gu Yi couldn’t help but laugh at Li Yitian’s voice.

"Of course, it would be an honor."

Li Yitian also laughed on the other end of the line, and Gu Yi could sense his excitement from his voice.

"What time can you be here?"

Gu Yi thought it best to fix a meeting time, to avoid any mishaps tomorrow.

"Brother Liang mentioned there would be many people tomorrow. Do you need to get styled?"

Instead of saying the meeting time directly, Li Yitian asked Gu Yi a question.

"Styled?"

Gu Yi hadn’t thought of this, but if the event would be grand tomorrow, she should tidy up.

Not only to boost her confidence but also as a sign of respect to others.

"Do you know anyone? Can you take me there tomorrow?"

Gu Yi knew Li Yitian would have some contacts.

"Sure, I’ll pick you up from the military at 6 am, start styling around 7, and we must head to the east of the city by 8:30 at the latest."

Li Yitian calculated the time and set each point clearly.

"Alright, thanks for your trouble tomorrow, I appreciate it."

Gu Yi thought if Li Yitian were to be at the military by 6, he would need to leave the city by 5, getting up around 4 am.

It would indeed be quite tiring.

"No problem, let’s keep it set then. You should rest early, to make sure you approach tomorrow full of energy and leave a good impression."

Li Yitian considered he should also rest early, so he reminded Gu Yi.

"Oh, by the way, tomorrow you should wait for me at the entrance, don’t come into the military. I noticed Ye Hao has been acting strange towards you lately. It’s better to avoid him, so he doesn’t prevent us from going, thus ruining Brother Liang’s goodwill."

Just about to hang up, Gu Yi suddenly stopped Li Yitian.

"Alright, got it."

Li Yitian felt innocent because he hadn’t done anything to upset anyone.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yi went back to tell Ye Hao she was going out the next day.

"Okay, noted."

Ye Hao answered, continuing to read his book.

Seeing he wasn’t interested in asking more, Gu Yi felt a relief.

She turned and went back to her room.

Ye Hao looked at her somewhat excited face, feeling a sense of breathlessness.

She doesn’t think to explain anything after turning around and leaving.

But well, he doesn’t care where she’s going.

Ye Hao turned the pages angrily.

Keep reading, don’t think about her.

Although Ye Hao told himself this, after a while, he was looking towards the door again.

Why isn’t she coming over?

In another room, Gu Yi was completely unaware that Ye Hao had created a scene in his mind.

She was picking out what to wear for the next day.

There would be many people as friends of Liang Yesheng, and certainly all prominent figures.

She shouldn’t be dressed too casually.

The principle is simplicity and elegance.

Should she wear a long dress? It needs high heels to look good, but for a construction site, that would obviously be inappropriate.

After much thought, Gu Yi decided a small blazer would be best, offering a polished appearance suited to the occasion.

However, her wardrobe didn’t have any blazers.

She decided to check the styling place tomorrow.

For now, the most important thing was to rest early for a good spirit.

"Drink some water before continuing, I’m going to bed. Don’t stay up too late."

Gu Yi poured Ye Hao a glass of water, placed it on the bedside table, and reminded him.

Ye Hao replied with just a hum.

Gu Yi was used to this.

She smiled and went back to her room.

After Gu Yi left, Ye Hao touched his face.

He wished to talk more with her, to smile at her more.

But every time they came into contact, he would feel slightly out of control.

He envied people like Ye Honglian.

Whenever they came around, Gu Yi’s smiles were more radiant than usual.

With him, Gu Yi’s smile was gentle.

Yet, he always felt that Gu Yi didn’t seem as happy.

Thinking about this made Ye Hao irritable.

He placed the book on the table and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

He had a nagging feeling lately that he’d forgotten something.

Seeing Gu Yi happy, he felt happy too.

But whenever Gu Yi looked at him, or when they were alone, he instinctively avoided her gaze.

He knew there were times Gu Yi felt lost, but he just couldn’t control himself.

When he thought of getting close to Gu Yi,

a voice in his mind would insist,

"She’s already with Li Yitian, she betrayed you, you saw it with your own eyes. Why hang onto such a woman? Only divorcing her can make you the happy person you once were."

Ye Hao didn’t know what to do while Yang Lin would repeat it every time she came.

He didn’t know what to do, but when it came to divorcing Gu Yi, he could feel he’s unwilling from deep within.
