Gu Juexi dragged Ye Yuwei to the bed while covering her mouth when he heard footsteps outside the room. He made her sit down at the side of the bed and let go of her only after hearing the door outside close.
“Things have gotten out of hand and nobody saw it coming. How sure are you that the information is real this time? Are you sure that it won’t be twisted again? What if it turns out to be a lie after you told him? Don’t you think it would kill him?” Gu Juexi put his hands on Ye Yuwei’s shoulders and asked seriously.
Gu Juexi actually made a point. After all, the story of what really happened back then had been twisted a few times, and none of them knew which version was the truth.
“Don’t forget that you are Ye Di’s niece. I am sure he won’t harm you if his love for Ye Di was real. In fact, he should be up to something else by threatening and taking revenge against me. Whatever reason it is, it can’t be because I made Ye Di look bad in my deductions,” said Gu Juexi with his hands still on Ye Yuwei’s shoulders to calm her down.
Ye Yuwei looked up at Gu Juexi, her eyes filled with tears.
“But this is unfair to my brother,” protested Ye Yuwei softly. She had seen Nalan Chunbo change into what he was today and felt genuinely sorry for him.
“I will give him the justice that he deserves, but not now,” Gu Juexi said and let go of Ye Yuwei’s shoulders before sitting down beside her.
Ye Yuwei had calmed down considerably by now. She lowered her gaze, realizing she was just being unreasonable by rebelling against Gu Juexi. The whole Ye Family saga had nothing to do with Gu Juexi from the start, and Gu Juexi would just be collateral damage if it ever did.
Gu Juexi would have no mercy for Ye Family if it wasn’t for her.
“Sorry,” mumbled Ye Yuwei unhappily, playing with her hands.
“Looks like it takes a lot to marry a daughter of the Ye Family, and I am only at the proposal stage. I suppose we could get married only after finding the truth,” said Gu Juexi softly. He reached out to stroke Ye Yuwei’s hair then rested her head on his shoulder.
“It’s too late to regret it now. The registry said that the cost of printing the certificates is not cheap, so I am sure they won’t allow you to get a fourth one,” Ye Yuwei said cheekily, looking at Gu Juexi with bright eyes.
Gu Juexi smiled and kissed her forehead though his mind was not at ease.
It was obvious that the man was after him. He chose to follow the clues that Ye Shu left behind when he did his last deduction, and he was not going to follow anyone’s lead this time. Also, rather than dealing with them step by step, he wanted to be more aggressive this time.
Xixi, who played with Gu Juexi outside the whole day without taking her afternoon nap, fell asleep before their dinner.
The kids were asleep when Ye Yuwei went to their room. According to the maid on duty, they had both fallen asleep at around 5pm and had slept for around half an hour.
Ye Yuwei sat down beside the bed and looked at her daughter who was sleeping while holding a doll. “Don’t worry. You can do your own things while they sleep,” said Ye Yuwei after bending over to kiss her daughter’s forehead.
The maid nodded and left the room as Ye Yuwei tucked in the blanket properly for her kids. Knowing that the man was seeking justice for Ye Di and would not harm her children, Ye Yuwei felt a bit at ease.
As Ye Yuwei left the kids’ room, Nalan Chunbo was coming out from his room to have dinner.
“Are the kids still asleep?” Nalan Chunbo asked casually. Even the way he looked at Ye Yuwei was normal.
Ye Yuwei adjusted her emotions and swallowed the words that she was going to blurt out. “Yes, they had a lot of fun today. I saw you and Wen Shan together today, where did you go?” Ye Yuwei pretended to be nosey and asked.
