“Besides, Daddy didn’t mean any harm. He doesn’t know the importance of these toys to you, that’s why he spoke so carelessly.” Ye Yuwei pulled Ye Xicheng into her arms and hugged him tightly.
Gu Juexi walked to the door with Xixi in his arms and turned around to look at the sad little meatball. He was certain he had said the wrong thing.
Xixi leaned on her daddy’s shoulder as she looked at her mommy and brother in the playroom. “Is Brother angry with me?” Xixi whispered. “I won’t take Brother’s toys then.”
After Ye Yuwei tucked Ye Xicheng in bed, she went back to her room and saw Gu Juexi standing by the window, looking outside. She walked quietly towards him and hugged him from behind.
“Do you still remember what I said? When Xixi and Xicheng were about one or two years old, I had to entertain my clients and take them out for drinks quite often. Ever since then, Xicheng got upset whenever I went drinking. At the time, I had just joined Qian Feng Enterprise and was penniless. Xicheng was and still is very mature and sensible for his age. He never ever asked me for toys. He would only request a toy on his birthday every year, one that he probably had his eye on for a very long time as his birthday present,” Ye Yuwei explained softly without any condemnation in her voice.
Gu Juexi listened quietly. The heartache inside him was slowly intensifying.
Ye Yuwei continued, “As the days went by, I had more money in my pocket and I could buy him toys any time, but still he would only ask for a present on his birthday. He would always tell me that we should not spend our money thoughtlessly, because what if we didn’t have any money later? What would we do then?” She rested her forehead against his back, hiding her tears.
His grief grew and pierced his heart mercilessly.
He could imagine Ye Xicheng’s excitement and happiness on the day he received the birthday present that he had looked forward to for so long. What did he say just now? Just let her do what she wanted?
He lacked patience for his own son, after all.
He always felt that his son was mature and wise, but he forgot that he was still a child.
It was all his fault. It was because of his irresponsibility as a father that they were forced to lead such a miserable life. It was because of him that the young boy could only watch his mother get drunk helplessly—
The whole evening, the boy had been keeping an eye on his father’s every move just in case he ate or drank something that he shouldn’t. Yet, he had hurt his son with his heartless words.
Gu Juexi grabbed Ye Yuwei’s arms that were circling his waist. He remained quiet, but only he knew the stinging pain in his heart.
He was very familiar with the feeling of being hurt by his own father. Hadn’t Gu Tianmu hurt him enough already?
Right now though, he was worse than Gu Tianmu.
“So, Gu Juexi, no matter what, apologize to him first thing in the morning,” Ye Yuwei said quietly.
Gu Juexi swallowed, then muttered, “Okay.”
He had yearned for Gu Tianmu’s apology when he was younger, and he would not repeat the same mistake with his son.
Ye Yuwei lifted her head when she heard Gu Juexi’s reply. At the same time, he turned around and pulled her into his embrace. “It’s all my fault, I’m sorry.”
Ye Yuwei stretched her arms around his waist, raised her head and gazed at Gu Juexi. “Even if you can’t shower him with hugs and kisses, can you at least be nicer to him, please?”
