“Nosey. What could there possibly be between me and her? I only came here to witness your marriage proposal, I am leaving tomorrow,” Nalan Chunbo looked at Ye Yuwei smilingly and said as she pulled him downstairs.
“Leave? So soon?” Ye Yuwei turned around in shock. Nalan Chunbo quickly reached out to grab her arm when she almost tripped on the stairs.
“How old are you, don’t you know how to watch your step?” Nalan Chunbo pretended to scold Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei blinked at Nalan Chunbo in surprise.
“Someone would not be happy if I continue to stay. Also, Gu Tianmu will be discharged soon so I don’t think it would be appropriate to stay here,” said Nalan Chunbo, his voice full of bitterness.
Ye Yuwei opened her mouth but no words came out.
Gu Tianmu hated her, but he especially hated her brother.
Although all of this had nothing to do with him.
Wen Jie was still out when Ye Yuwei and Nalan Chunbo went downstairs, and only the three of them joined the table for dinner. Ye Yuwei focused only on her dinner, keeping quiet throughout the meal, while Gu Juexi couldn’t be bothered to talk.
The atmosphere was becoming more tense. Ye Yuwei tried to start a conversation but was stopped by Gu Juexi who kept kicking her leg.
So instead of starting a conversation, Ye Yuwei ended up glaring at Gu Juexi throughout dinner.
“I am still here, so stop making eyes at each other,” said Nalan Chunbo smilingly as if he was in a good mood.
“Where are you going this time?” Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes at Gu Juexi one last time before she looked at Nalan Chunbo and asked.
“Why? Still trying to be a spy?” Nalan Chunbo raised a brow and asked, “she is a good girl, stop wasting her time.”
“But my brother is not bad either,” Ye Yuwei insisted stubbornly.
Nalan Chunbo fell silent for a second, then continued with his dinner.
“I will visit Auntie before making a decision,” said Nalan Chunbo finally.
“Then let me—ouch!” Gu Juexi kicked Ye Yuwei again before she could finish her sentence.
“When are you leaving?” asked Gu Juexi blankly when Nalan Chunbo looked at them curiously.
“Why? Planning to let her go home?” Nalan Chunbo challenged.
“This is her home. She doesn’t have any other home,” said Gu Juexi coldly.
“Gu Juexi, not only is your brother-in-law still around but your mother-in-law is too,” Nalan Chunbo scoffed.
“And so what?” asked Gu Juexi carelessly, “did you raise her?”
Nalan Chunbo was speechless. This man was sharp!
Ye Yuwei was speechless too. She wondered how Gu Juexi had the cheek to say that since he hadn’t raised her either.
Nalan Chunbo decided to end the conversation when he noticed how shameless Gu Juexi was. “Don’t ever bring this man home, I am certain Auntie would not approve of him.”
Bai Ying’s attitude towards Gu Juexi was indeed unclear. She recognized Gu Juexi’s ability, but she most certainly did not recognize him as her son-in-law.
It was obvious by the way she had moved out from B City, and how she told Ye Yuwei not to visit simply because she knew Gu Juexi would definitely tag along if she did.
Gu Juexi knew Bai Ying wouldn’t want him to visit and had been tactful enough to not ask about it.
What happened with the Bai Family was not pretty and the fact that Gu Juexi was her son-in-law was a sensitive topic.
Ye Yuwei continued with her dinner sulkily. She felt like she should visit Bai Ying at least once. After all, she had not seen her since the mystery surrounding her father was solved.
