Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"What! She is living at his place?", Gu Layue ripped the papers in her hands when she heard her assistant tell her that Yu Tian was housing that lowly commoner at his place.

Even she had not seen his home, how did she manage to step in there? What tricks did she use?

"I… I have also heard that… that she is going to join Elite Eagles today. They are visiting the gym for her induction. Young Master Yu has personally called all of the team." Her assistant knew the temper of her master and told her the whole information he had gained from his sources.

And he also knew that this news would be a devastating blow to his master for she had been obsessed the main character of this story since he remembered.

Now that he thought about it, he had been in this school since he was abandoned by his parents when he was just five years old. His looks and intelligence were both above average, so he was chosen as a servant for his master after three years of training. Even at 8 years old, he had to act as her servant rather than a companion. She was just 6 years old then.

His young lady had a temper since the beginning. As the heir of Gu family, she was taught haughtiness and etiquette since early on. She had to walk a certain way and talk a certain way. If one was to analyze, wasn't she another caged bird too?

She was to have the world as the person to own Gu empire in the future, but she still did not have any freedom in anything she did. Even her falling for Yu Tian was orc.h.e.s.trated by her parents. They had put in her head since her childhood that she was to be Yu Tian's bride. They did not even focus on Su Lang or Feng Yue, it had to be Yu Tian because everyone was aware of his family situation.

Yu empire was going to be Yu Tian's sooner or later and his dad had almost given up on his fortune at one time. How long would Yu Rong have handled Yu wealth if the empire were to collapse some day? It would have ultimately been shouldered by Yu Tian. Thinking till here, the Gu parents put this idea in her head that she was the most deserving person for Yu Tian.

Now, Gu Layue was stubborn to begin with and her parents pampered her like anything, so she had already weaved her fantasy around Yu Tian. She was so much obsessed with him that she would stalk him at a very young age. She had driven a lot of girls around Yu Tian away through her tactics. For her, Yu Tian was already hers.

Unfortunately, she forgot to take into account in her calculations that Yu Tian had his own mind and feelings. He had always shrugged her away for he did not like her at all. Gu Layue was so blinded by her own ideas that she never saw his acute coldness towards her.

He, as her assistant, tried, tried hard to make her realize that Yu Tian had no interest in her, many a times getting punished for the same. In the end, he gave up and went along the flow.

Since they had been together since childhood, he was pretty okay with his lady's shenanigans too. He would comply whenever she required his 'services'. He enjoyed it too, to be honest. But of course, he was just a lowly commoner, just like Mei Qingyang. He could have his lady's body but never her heart.

Now he also resented Mei Qingyang. That girl, how could she seduce Yu Tian, despite her poor background? What right did she have while he was always treated as a pathetic dog? His resentment towards Mei Qingyang came out as exaggerated descriptions of Yu Tian's and Mei Qingyang's interactions, just like today.

"Yes, my lady. They were seen walking hand in hand, whole campus is in uproar. It… it seems that the intel that master Yu has haphephobia is wrong after all.", he continued to exaggerate. Well, it was not false that they were walking quite close together but it did not mean he could not add a few spicy details.

"How? How did that b*tch manage to do this? That all should have been mine.", Gu Layue took the tablet she had just bought in her hand and shattered it away on the window of her own penthouse. It startled the maids that were working in the house but they were also used to it, so they immediately went back to work.

"I need to do something about her. Gu Chang, let's go we need to meet Principal Yu." Gu chang was her assistant's name.

Gu Layue wanted to apply the same tactic she had applied before the hospital incident. She needed to rile that lady up because she had a good idea what was going on between her and her nephew.

That lady was a pervert through and through. She had had countless men till now but the one she could not get over was her own nephew Yu Tian. And so, Gu Layue was always looking for opportunities to eliminate both the girls around Yu Tian and that other wench too.

It was the best to keep both Yu Rong and Mei Qingyang engaged with each other while she thought of schemes to get close to Yu Tian.

"My lady, let's not go to Principal Yu again.", Gu Chang pleaded.

"Why do you say so?", Gu Layue was interrupted in her thoughts by her assistant. What the hell was this guy thinking about?

"I mean to say, Principal Yu has been furious with us for taking action on our own during hospital incident anyway. And she would already know all the information I gave you. If you go now, you will probably only irritate her more." Gu Chang was a broad-minded person, he always looked at the bigger picture.

It would not be far fetched to say that most of Gu Layue's schemes were successful because of Gu Chang's intelligence.

Gu Layue always got filtered information but he was the one who knew how much she had offended Yu Rong because she was hasty. It was not wise to go that person right now. Unless, she was able to do something on her own and prove her worth.

"Hmph! Who cares about that s.l.u.t anyway? She doesn't care about anyone and is only interested in her own nephew. She disgusts me to the core. Whenever I see her make-up laden face, I feel like puking." Gu Layue lamented.

"So, then what should we do?", Gu Layue looked to her assistant who was observing his lady's reaction and was waiting for her to ask this question.

"If you give this servant of yours a chance, I would like to make a very bold suggestion.", Gu Chang lowered his head because he was going to propose a very outrageous idea to Gu Layue, one which would take too much patience for him to convince her to follow.

"Gu Chang, when have I ever not let you present your thoughts? You ought to know how much I value you.", seeing such obedience from her servant, Gu Layue's stance softened. She was quite pleased with this guy's demeanor.

This was the reason he had won her heart and she had forgiven his countless mistakes again and again. He was also pleasing to look at and p.l.e.a.s.u.r.ed her well too. She felt pity for him a bit since whenever they did it, she only thought about how Yu Tian would be in bed instead. She always ended up uttering Yu Tian's name during their 'dual cultivation'.

But why should she feel remorse over it? He was her servant, she could do anything with him. Alas, she never told him that apart from his looks and intelligence, there was one other reason she had chosen him and never let go.

His voice was very similar to Yu Tian's. So whenever he called her 'my lady' she felt utter bliss because it felt like her Yu Tian was right there, calling her with affection. Gu Layue got aroused once again so she got up from her seat and headed towards her assistant, with her eyes full of l.u.s.t.

Gu Chang understood what was coming so he prepared himself for it. At least, his lady didn't beat him. How would he know that was because she could never bear to beat Yu Tian for whom he was a substitute?

He cleared his throat and as Gu Layue arrived near him and started unbuttoning him, he dropped the bomb in his s.e.xy voice in her ear, "We should change our camps from Yu Rong's to Mei Qingyang's."
