Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, Gu Juexi made a call to the hospital. At the other end of the line, Auntie Yuan reported that Wen Jie had fallen asleep after her dinner. Gu Juexi mumbled an okay and was about to end the call.
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes in frustration and quickly snatched the phone off his hand. “Auntie Yuan, how is my father?”
This guy was as awkward as his son.
“They said he is out of the critical condition today, but we are not allowed to visit just yet. Don’t worry, Madam went to see him this evening, he was doing fine,” Auntie Yuan continued with a tender smile, “You can rest assured, I’ll make sure everything is fine here, take care of Young Master, I heard that his injury was very serious.”
Ye Yuwei nodded as she replied and ended the call.
Throughout the phone conversation, Gu Juexi kept his glance at Ye Yuwei up until the call ended, but she decided to ignore him. Instead, she turned around and went upstairs.
Gu Juexi followed her while glaring at her, albeit maintaining his arrogant and cold outlook.
“Xixi, Xicheng, playtime is over.” Ye Yuwei entered the playroom to look for her two children. Xixi was scavenging her brother’s toys, creating a big mess in the room. Ye Yuwei frowned upon the scene and asked patiently, “Xixi, what are you doing?”
Ye Xicheng sat helplessly at the other end of the rug. After seeing Ye Yuwei, he got to his feet and hugged his mother’s legs tightly.
Ye Yuwei stroked her son’s head gently as she watched her daughter pulling the toys out of the toy boxes.
“When Brother Yuan Mo comes, I’ll give these toys to him. His mommy and daddy are very busy, so busy that they can’t buy him toys,” Xixi uttered as she retrieved Ye Xicheng’s tank from the box.
“But, those are your brother’s toys,” Ye Yuwei prompted.
“I know, but I am a girl, Brother Yuan Mo doesn’t play with girls’ toys,” Xixi blurted without a doubt as she continued scavenging among the pile of toys.
Ye Yuwei pursed her lips. What she meant was, you shouldn’t give your brother’s toys away.
“Xixi, why don’t I bring all of you to buy new toys when Brother Yuan Mo arrives? Your brother loves his toys.” Ye Yuwei tried to reason with her daughter.
“Just let her do whatever she likes, I’ll get the little meatball some new toys later,” Gu Juexi said as he leaned against the door.
Ye Yuwei glared at Gu Juexi indignantly. As for Ye Xicheng, he turned around to look at Gu Juexi and pouted with sad and downcast eyes.
Gu Juexi was stunned in shock when he saw his son’s sorrowful expression.
“Xixi, have you forgotten that these toys are your brother’s birthday presents? Your brother will be very sad if you give away your brother’s birthday presents, am I right?”
As Ye Yuwei was talking sense into her daughter, Gu Juexi froze like a log as he looked at his dispirited son with his head hanging low. It was like someone clutched his heart tightly.
He had said the wrong thing.
Xixi scratched her little head as she listened to her mommy. She was in the middle of her tiny crossroads. She felt that Brother Yuan Mo would love these toys, but it seemed that her brother would be very sad.
Gu Juexi walked in big strides and picked Xixi up from the floor. “When Yuan Mo is here, Daddy will bring all of you to buy new toys in the mall, he can pick whatever he likes.”
Xixi was still disgruntled by the options but she was carried away by her daddy.
Dejectedly, Ye Xicheng walked to the big pile of toy mess and slowly picked up his toys. Ye Yuwei went over and crouched beside him. “Your sister is still young, her mind is not as mature as you are, but if you tell her what is bothering you, she will understand.”
“But I don’t want her to be sad,” Ye Xicheng mumbled quietly.
In fact, he was bothered by Gu Juexi’s statement: Just let her do whatever she likes. These were his toys, the presents that he would ask his mommy to buy only on his birthday.
The old meatball had no idea at all how important these toys were to him.
