She should know, right?
Nalan Chunbo looked at the girl next to him skeptically. He could usually calculate an unexpected outcome but he was unable to predict her answer.
By the time Nalan Chunbo had brought Wen Shan back, the maids had finished tidying the house and had gone back to Gu Mansion already.
Nalan Chunbo placed Wen Shan on his bed carefully, then went to the bathroom to get warm water to wipe her face.
At that very moment, all the suffering and pain and unexpected troubles seem to dissolve into nothingness.
It all became clear to him. All this while, all he needed to do was to make a decision. There were no other options, just a single answer and he would only choose that path.
Nalan Chunbo touched Wen Shan’s face, saying softly, “We no longer have an option. Since we’re already here, let’s walk down this path together.”
Sadly, the person who was fast asleep couldn’t hear or reply.
Due to fear, the maid told Ye Yuwei of what happened in Nalan Chunbo’s apartment. This was because Ye Yuwei was easier to approach compared to Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei was in the study, listening to the maid’s trembling voice as she explained the situation to her. At that moment, she felt that Mr. Gu’s plans seemed to have gone a bit awry.
“Madam, I didn’t mean to do it on purpose. I didn’t know that the young miss was heading there. Can I go back to her and apologize? I beg you, please don’t fire me,” the young maid said, tears streaming down her face.
Ye Yuwei looked at the maid who started working there at the same time as Bai Xiaolian. The only difference was that Bai Xiaolian was a university graduate and this girl hadn’t even finished middle school. She was just a simple little girl.
“I won’t fire you and it is not your fault. Don’t worry about it, just continue your work.”
The maid was still quite young, and Ye Yuwei felt the need to take care of her.
The young girl nodded, eyes red, then turned around and walked out of the room.
The maid was about to reach the front door when Gu Juexi walked in. She was afraid to even make eye contact with him. She just greeted him respectfully in a soft voice before hastily walking away.
“What happened?” Gu Juexi asked while turning around to glance at the maid.
Ye Yuwei frowned and decided to call Nalan Chunbo and ask about his whereabouts.
“Are you alright?” Ye Yuwei asked when he picked up the call.
Nalan Chunbo sat at the bedside looking at Wen Shan who was still fast asleep.
“Wei Wei, I’ve decided. If I forced myself to let it go, it would only hurt me even more. Why should I do this to myself?”
Ye Yuwei wanted to comfort him but after hearing those words, she felt angry as she glanced up at Gu Juexi. What did he think this was? His method was inappropriate but he still got the results he desired… Did he think that he would always be that lucky?
“Alright, I wish you all the best. Quickly fulfil her wish to be the dean’s wife.” Ye Yuwei immediately cut the call and looked at Gu Juexi.
“No problem at all.”
Going through this problem would allow Nalan Chunbo to think more clearly. It was more meaningful than Wen Shan just sending him medicine, right?
Gu Juexi’s plan wasn’t foiled, but had instead accomplished something they hadn’t expected.
Gu Juexi walked towards a book shelf and took out a journal regarding army matters. He frowned then walked out.
“Why are you taking that?”
“Your son wants it.”
In the apartment, Nalan Chunbo kept the lights off. The only source of light came from the moon which shone directly through the window and onto the woman who was asleep in bed. Once she woke up, what should he tell her?
