Nalan Chunbo’s face darkened when he heard what Gu Juexi said.
It was impossible for them now; Nalan Chunbo could never be with Wen Shan. Moreover, he himself was the one who had brought this upon himself.
He could no longer hold onto her since he was the one who had pushed her away first.
Gu Juexi was right. He had no way out now.
Ye Yuwei’s voice was soft, but she said every word clearly so Nalan Chubo would listen.
She told Nalan Chunbo everything she knew.
Although Nalan Chunbo did not respond, Ye Yuwei could see that his body was tense.
Telling Nalan Chunbo the truth now was like crucifying his previous actions. He drove Wen Shan away because of his birth and background, but in the end, he realized that the truth was not what he thought it was.
Nalan Chunbo did not say anything after Ye Yuwei finished her story, but it was clear from his lowered gaze that he was suppressing his emotions. He was the only one who knew what he was feeling.
Nalan Chunbo was unwilling to go to Gu Mansion. Luckily, Gu Juexi possessed ample houses, so Nalan Chunbo chose one in the city and planned to stay there.
It was fully furnished so he could go and stay there anytime.
The rain poured down heavily. Nalan Chunbo had not recovered completely, so he went straight to the bedroom to rest when they reached the apartment.
Ye Yuwei lowered her voice and told Gu Juexi when she saw that Nalan Chunbo had closed the bedroom door behind him, “I’ve never seen him so sad before.”
Gu Juexi sneered and looked at the time. “If he gives up this time, he will never come back here. He was brought up by your mother, and there’s no place safer for him than staying with your mother. Since he chose to come back, it’s clear that he’s choosing to face all these challenges and troubles. Why are you worrying so much?”
“Gu Juexi, don’t you ever worry about anyone?” asked Ye Yuwei angrily.
“You. I only worry about you.”
Ye Yuwei’s words died in her throat after hearing that. He won again this time.
Frustrated, she pushed Gu Juexi away then went over to the kitchen. She realized that there was nothing in the refrigerator and thought for a while. Eventually, she decided to go downstairs and buy something for him in the market. She did not want him to go hungry.
Gu Juexi called out to her. Ye Yuwei looked at him with a threatening look that said she could go out by herself even if Gu Juexi did not accompany her. Gu Juexi had no choice but to go to the market with her.
He realized now that his wife had changed. She was more daring than ever now.
The market was just downstairs, so they didn’t need to go out or take an umbrella.
Ye Yuwei mostly bought ingredients for Nalan Chunbo, along with mineral water and fruits.
Gu Juexi frowned at the ingredients. Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi as she was paying the bill. “My brother knows how to cook.”
Gu Juexi was speechless.
‘What’s the big deal about being able to cook?’
Ye Yuwei added casually, “He never sets the kitchen on fire.” Gu Juexi took the plastic bags and walked away.
Who was she blaming now?
Why did he set the kitchen on fire in the first place?
That woman had no conscience at all. He did not have to think much. She was indeed ungrateful.
Ye Yuwei followed Gu Juexi slowly. She could talk about the incident of him setting the kitchen on fire for the rest of their lives. Gu Juexi did it for Ye Yuwei’s sake although she had never tasted anything he cooked.
