When Gu Juexi returned, Ye Xicheng frowned when he didn’t see his mommy behind him.
Xixi had already thrown herself into Gu Juexi’s arms and called out that she missed her daddy.
Gu Juexi’s mood improved. His daughter loved him more.
“Where’s my mommy?” Ye Xicheng was harder to coax. His temperament changed when he didn’t see his mother.
Gu Juexi narrowed his eyes at his son. “She went back to the hotel.”
Ye Xicheng was skeptical. He picked up his phone and scrolled to look for his mommy’s number before calling it.
Gu Juexi was rendered speechless.
‘Is this kid doing it intentionally? Why would I, his father, lie to him?’
Ye Xicheng’s eyes carried a sense of distrust.
Gu Juexi carried his daughter and sat down on the sofa. He felt as if his heart was being stabbed by his own son again. This son of his seemed to exist to take his life.
“Mommy, Mommy—” Ye Xicheng hurriedly spoke when the call got through.
Ye Yuwei had just returned to the hotel and was planning to pack in awhile. She had lost her appetite after the fight with Gu Juexi.
“What is it? Have you eaten?” Ye Yuwei laid on the bed, back to her calm self.
“Not yet. Grandma said to wait for Mommy,” Ye Xicheng said meekly, a total contrast to his tone when speaking to Gu Juexi earlier.
“Help me tell Grandma that Mommy won’t be going over today,” Ye Yuwei spoke hastily.
“Okay. Mommy must remember to eat too,” Ye Xicheng asserted.
Ye Yuwei laughed. Her young son knew how to show her concern, and yet that Gu Juexi…
She fumed just thinking about it.
“Okay, Mommy will eat in awhile. You must take good care of your sister. Go and have your meal first, and remember to tell Grandma,” Ye Yuwei laughed. She picked up her watch and noticed it was already past six o’clock. It was indeed time for dinner.
Ye Xicheng worriedly reminded his mommy about a few more things before he ended the call. “Grandma, Mommy said she won’t be coming over for dinner.” Ye Xicheng looked at Wen Jie.
Wen Jie hugged Ye Xicheng. She had observed him throughout the call. Her grandson was really sensible, even more sensible than her own son.
“Alright, let us have our dinner. If your dad had even half the intelligence you have, your Mommy would have returned long ago,” Wen Jie sighed and held Ye Xicheng’s hand as they walked to the dining hall.
Gu Juexi didn’t say a word.
‘What is wrong with him?’
‘I’ve given in to Ye Yuwei but it’s still not enough?’
Xixi pursed her lips, unsure of what was going on. ‘Why is Mommy not coming home?’
Gu Juexi carried Xixi to wash her hands before putting her on her chair.
While helping Ye Xicheng have his meal, Wen Jie looked at her son. Seeing that Ye Yuwei didn’t return, she had guessed that they both argued again.
Wen Jie glanced at Gu Juexi before turning away. “Women need to be pampered. You can’t go wrong being more thoughtful.”
Gu Juexi frowned and wanted to say something but kept quiet after remembering his argument with Ye Yuwei.
He didn’t have the time to spend more thoughts on Ye Yuwei. He could only do so after he had settled the business with the Bai family.
