After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 328

A video of Gu Yan Sheng voluntarily withdrawing from the election was exposed all over the internet.

For a time, it caused shock across the whole country.

It was unexpected that Gu Yan Sheng would suddenly announce his withdrawal when the votes had not yet come out and Gu Yan Sheng was still leading in the polls.

The reason for his withdrawal was also very simple. He personally felt that Ye Jinghuai was more suitable for the position of Director of Affairs. Ye Jinghuai's capabilities and courage in this election made Gu Yan Sheng admire Ye Jinghuai. Gu Yan Sheng was ashamed of his own inferiority, so he voluntarily withdrew from the election.

With just a few simple words of withdrawal, he showed his approval of Ye Jinghuai and at the same time demonstrated his own broad mindset.

Indeed, it earned him a wave of goodwill.

At a time when everyone on the internet was scolding Gu Yan Sheng for being useless in front of Ye Jinghuai, some people began to speak up in support of Gu Yan Sheng, feeling that his approach was very manly and deserved respect.

Of course, there was still a small portion of people with extreme biases against Gu Yan Sheng who continued to maliciously attack him.

Terms like "male green tea bitch" began to spread on the internet.

They said Gu Yan Sheng was typical green tea behavior by staging this whole stunt despite knowing full well he had no election advantage, just to gain public favor.

Debates raged on the internet.

But there was no denying that overall, the way Gu Yan Sheng chose benefited him more than it hurt him.

At least it avoided a miserable defeat without a good reputation at the end.

When An Nuan saw this news, her whole body fell silent for a long time.

She really was surprised by Gu Yan Sheng's sudden behavior.

From her understanding of Gu Yan Sheng, even if he was scolded to the point of being treated like shit, he would absolutely never voluntarily hand over power. That man's pursuit of power and ambition exceeded most people's imagination.

The only explanation for him to voluntarily give up was that someone had put pressure on him.

Who was that person?!!

Actually, An Nuan knew very clearly.

Back when people were saying Gu Yan Sheng had colluded with Princess Dizi Yao...now when thinking back, how could Gu Yan Sheng have had the capability to collude with an imperial princess of the Di family? It was more likely the Di family people who took the initiative to find Gu Yan Sheng, also seeing his abilities, but who knew Gu Yan Sheng was all empty show.

But in the previous life, with her by Gu Yan Sheng's side providing strategies for him, Gu Yan Sheng would not have lost so miserably. However this life clearly exposed all of Gu Yan Sheng's shortcomings.

Yet the other side had already invested so much into Gu Yan Sheng, they would not possibly just easily give up like this.

So in the end they would still let Gu Yan Sheng develop in the noble families, trying every means to help him maintain his image first.

An Nuan watched somewhat engrossed.

She kept feeling like Gu Yan Sheng would not compromise so easily despite this latest move.

"You're awake so early?" Suddenly, a low male voice sounded by her ear.

An Nuan's body moved slightly.

She just felt someone's body pressing rather close to her.

She turned her head to look at the sleepy-looking man behind her.

She also wondered if it was her imagination.

Earlier on when she was in the same bed as Ye Jinghuai, she always felt this man slept very lightly, like if she moved even a little he would wake up. But now it seemed that when by her side he was clearly sleeping very soundly. Even when she had woken up and read the news for half an hour, it took this man lazily and very satisfyingly waking up before he was alert, giving off a feeling that his body had gotten extreme rest.

"Gu Yan Sheng announced his withdrawal from the election." An Nuan said directly.

Ye Jinghuai was clearly still somewhat shocked.

Two seconds later, he said, "He got smarter."

So Ye Jinghuai actually looked down on Gu Yan Sheng?!

Otherwise he would not have used that tone to evaluate.

"I feel like someone must have pressured him. A person like him would find it very difficult to give up power." An Nuan said frankly.

"Around that." Ye Jinghuai agreed.

"I'm thinking, even if he gave up, he probably wouldn't just accept your success like this. Gu Yan Sheng's villainy is really despicable to an unimaginable degree."

"So why did you fall for him back then?" Ye Jinghuai asked her seriously, propping himself up with his uninjured hand.

An Nuan was a bit speechless.

This was really poking a sore spot.

She was already regretting to the point her guts were turning green over how blind she had been back then, and now she still had to admit her own foolishness from that time?!

An Nuan directly changed the topic. "The main point right now is that Gu Yan Sheng might still be making trouble in the shadows."

"Then just let him make trouble." Ye Jinghuai had an unconcerned expression. "No matter how nasty, what more can he do? It will still be...a complete defeat."

An Nuan was left unable to say anything, shut down by Ye Jinghuai.

In front of Ye Jinghuai, Gu Yan Sheng was really not worth a blow.

All his little tricks were just the jumps of a clown, every time only bringing humiliation onto himself.

"Speaking of which, Miss An." Ye Jinghuai suddenly moved closer to An Nuan.

An Nuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Being suddenly approached so closely by Ye Jinghuai like this, she felt it did not bode well.

"Now Gu Yan Sheng has voluntarily withdrawn from the election. In other words, it means my election success. You could say I've become the first man in North Wen Country's history to take on the Director of Affairs position at such a young age." The corners of Ye Jinghuai's mouth raised up.

An Nuan looked at him, feeling this guy was truly getting a bit too smug.

Although it really was impressive, but come on, at least rein yourself in a little and be more modest!

"So shouldn't Miss An be keeping her promise?"

"......" An Nuan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

What did his promotion and getting rich have to do with her needing to keep her promise or not?

"Didn't we agree that when I have a promising future ahead, you'd truly marry me?" Ye Jinghuai asked her very seriously. "Your so-called 'truly', didn't you mean giving yourself to me?"

No mistake in understanding.

However.

"Ye Jinghuai, is this the extent of your courtship? Just becoming Director of Affairs and you feel like you already have a promising future?" An Nuan raised her brow.

"Just how high are Miss An's demands of me?" Ye Jinghuai asked.

She felt like this guy was sounding her out about something.

An Nuan said, "As high as what you envision in your heart."

Ye Jinghuai's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Since you're awake just get up. I feel the noble families will soon announce your appointment. You should get ready early." An Nuan did not want to discuss this kind of sensitive topic with Ye Jinghuai, so she wanted to get up from bed.

Just as she had this intention.

Ye Jinghuai fiercely grabbed ahold of her all of a sudden.

His entire body swiftly pressed An Nuan down beneath him.

As An Nuan instinctively wanted to resist, she heard Ye Jinghuai say by her ear, "You might bump my wound."

Damn it!

If that's the case, shouldn't you be keeping your hands to yourself?!

Yet in that moment, An Nuan somehow, settled down.

This man seemed to always be able to know her weakness!

"Miss An, do you know the meaning of promising future?" Ye Jinghuai asked solemnly.

What other trick was Ye Jinghuai trying to pull?!
