Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 429 The Beginning of Everything 20

Cen Yubai came out drying his hair and, seeing that Gu Yao was alone, casually asked, "Where are the others?"

Gu Yao was sitting on the bed with her laptop, looking at the stocks she had bought. Hearing this, she looked up, closed the laptop on her lap, and said, "They went to the supermarket. If you need anything, you can message them."

Cen Yubai hummed in response, but Gu Yao did not look away, observing the person in front of him with great interest.

This partner was much younger than he remembered.

Cen Yubai looked at him with a puzzled expression as he dried his hair. Without his glasses to conceal his eyes, his beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of green, but instead of giving people a sense of life revival, they had a sharp edge, like a lone wolf walking in the dark.

It possesses a sharp, almost edgy beauty, so stunning it's breathtaking.

It's so captivating that you can't help but like it at first glance.

Those eyes never brought Cen Yubai any affection; in Cen Yubai's memory, the only adjectives associated with them were insults.

"Cen Yubai," Gu Yao called out.

"Ok?"

Gu Yao smiled. "Your glasses aren't prescription, are they?"

Cen Yubai was taken aback, not expecting Gu Yao to ask this question, but he didn't intend to hide anything and nodded, "Yes."

Gu Yao continued, "Is it because of these eyes?"

Cen Yubai dried his hair and then replied, "Because my eye color is a bit unusual, and I don't dare to wear colored contact lenses, I can only use these specially made glasses to cover it up."

The words that came out unconsciously were fluent and natural, without the slightest pause, as if they had been practiced countless times.

Gu Yao chuckled softly at his half-truthful words, easily seizing on the question in his reply, "Then why don't you dare wear colored contact lenses?"

"Besides, your eyes are very beautiful, why are you covering them up?"

Gu Yao didn't point it out directly, but asked casually.

Cen Yubai smiled, his expression flawless, and shrugged. "I just don't want to attract attention. I think wearing colored contact lenses is a bit scary. Putting something on your eyeballs wouldn't be pleasant, would it?"

Even the reason is so perfect.

Gu Yao, however, seemed to see right through him. He leaned forward, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Cen Yubai, are you afraid? Or are you still haunted by something?"

Cen Yubai's brows furrowed, and his gaze toward Gu Yao changed, revealing obvious coldness and wariness.

"What on earth do you know?"

Gu Yao pondered for a moment with an innocent expression, "Are you referring to the fact that you are an illegitimate child of the Cen family, or something else?"

Before Cen Yubai could react, Gu Yao delivered a fatal blow, "No matter what it is, I know it."

Gu Yao's voice was clear and melodious, but to Cen Yubai it sounded like the whisper of a demon. His hands, which were resting on the table, clenched into fists, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Yao smiled enticingly, "Don't you want to avenge your mother? To trample all those who look down on you underfoot."

Cen Yubai stiffened, turning his head rigidly to look at Gu Yao, his expression chillingly cold. "What exactly do you mean?"

He tried his best to support his back, but he couldn't stop trembling, as if trying to hold onto the last bit of his dignity.

Gu Yao, however, seemed like a demon who wanted to exchange souls for someone else, and whispered, "You should have guessed Brother Xie's identity by now, right? Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Gu Yao doesn't have enough capital right now, so if he wants Cen Yubai to believe him, he can only rely on Xie Gui's influence.

Gu Yao silently apologized in his heart.

Cen Yubai looked at the confident young man in front of him, and after a long while, he finally let out a sigh of frustration. His gaze fell on Gu Yao, with an undisguised stare.

"So what is your relationship with Xie Gui?"

Gu Yao chuckled softly, deciding to give Cen Yubai a little shock.

He said softly, "We're going to get married someday."

Gu Yao looked serious, while Cen Yubai was taken aback, but looked at Gu Yao with an expression as if he were an idiot.

Are you okay?

He seemed to have been tricked, his voice tinged with annoyance, but with a seemingly benevolent smile, he reminded her, "Xie Gui is the only heir of the Xie family."

Gu Yao looked completely innocent. "I know."

But what does this have to do with him?

Seeing Gu Yao's clueless expression, Cen Yubai's temple throbbed with anger. "You think you can marry Xie Gui?! No matter how you look at it, he'll marry a rich girl from a similar social class."

Gu Yao smiled, but the smile in his eyes faded. "He won't."

Cen Yubai scoffed, thinking Gu Yao was utterly ignorant and arrogant. "Where do you get your confidence from?"

Gu Yao silently curled his lips, leaning against the headboard with a bright smile, "You figured it out, didn't you?"

Cen Yubai choked.

He couldn't argue.

Indeed, Xie Gui showed no restraint today, appearing to be asserting his dominance.

It was as if he couldn't wait to tell everyone that Gu Yao was his.

Gu Yao pressed her advantage, "Besides, whether or not I can marry Xie Gui doesn't seem to affect our cooperation. At least, I can still use Xie Gui's resources now, can't I?"

Cen Yubai was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a smile.

Yes, he's obsessed.

Whether or not they can get together, at least for now, Xie Gui can definitely help.

Everything will go much more smoothly then.

Cen Yubai didn't want to miss this opportunity; he had originally planned to take advantage of Gu Yao as well.

However, Gu Yao gave him such a strange feeling that he had to give up the idea.

Now this person has come to us on their own initiative.

Should he still refuse?

Cen Yubai lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and looked up at Gu Yao, "Okay, I agree!"
