When Ye Cong mentioned that there were only the two of them left from the orphanage, Ye Yuwei felt a sting on her nose. It was cruel, but it was also the truth. They could no longer find the children who had been adopted in the past unless they returned on their own.
“Ye Cong, you haven’t returned for so many years. So, why are you back now?” Ye Yuwei still did not give Ye Cong the reaction he wanted. Instead, she expressed her unhappiness at his return.
“For a matter. A matter that your man knows,” Ye Cong said with a smile.
Ye Yuwei frowned. This might be the reason why Ye Yuwei did not like Ye Cong. He was always so cunning. She had already labeled him as a cunning one when he snatched her snacks from her when they were young. She could never know which sentence he said was an entrapment.
“If he knows about it, you should’ve gone to see him. Why are you here?” Now that she knew his identity, Ye Yuwei was no longer as polite as before.
“Lil Wei’er, you’re still angry at me.” Ye Cong sighed.
Angry? Not quite.
It was an injustice that Ye Yuwei had on Mama Ye’s behalf. The person whom Mama Ye had been thinking about for so many years reappeared, but it felt like he had nothing to do with everything.
At half-past five, Gu Juexi opened the car door and took off immediately.
Ye Yuwei recomposed herself and said indifferently, “No, so many years have passed, after all.”
Ye Cong nodded. Just as he was about to say something, a voice greeting the CEO sounded from outside. Ah, it was Gu Juexi who had arrived.
Ye Cong retracted what he wanted to say. Seeing the office door being pushed open, Ye Yuwei maintained her composure but internally, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Yuwei stood up. “Why are you here?” She asked innocently.
“To pick you up from work,” Gu Juexi replied matter-of-factly. However, when he saw Ye Cong, his expression changed immediately. “Why are you here?”
Ye Cong stood up with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips. He did not answer Gu Juexi but looked at Ye Yuwei as if he was waiting for her to answer the question on his behalf.
Ye Yuwei raised her hand slightly and walked to Gu Juexi’s side. She reached out to hold his arm. “This is Ye Cong. We spent time together in the orphanage when we were young.”
Gu Juexi was not surprised to hear this. Instead, he said disdainfully, “You’re rather unlucky, aren’t you?”
Ye Yuwei, “…”
Mr. Gu truly had a sharper tongue than her. Must he be so direct all the time?
Ye Cong did not mind. After all, he knew Gu Juexi very well. It was only normal for Gu Juexi to say that.
“Mr. Gu, do you have time? Why don’t we have dinner together? I still remember a lot of things about Lil Wei’er when she was young. I can share them with you.”
Ye Yuwei was speechless. “…”
Ye Yuwei suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Gu Juexi. Her eyes were clearly trying to prove something.
Gu Yuexi peered at his wife. “She’ll tell me about her childhood. What makes you think I’ll have to hear it from you?”
“Then, you might miss out on her first kiss,” Ye Cong said regretfully.
“Hey, stop it with the nonsense!” Ye Yuwei suddenly screamed. Her scream was more horrifying than an encounter with the devil.
Gu Juexi lowered his head to look at his wife who had lost control of herself. He then raised his head to look at Ye Cong. “A kiss shared between children isn’t the same as a kiss shared by adults. I know very well when Mrs. Gu’s first kiss was.”
It was their wedding night.
Although it was not as perfect as one would expect, he was sure that it was Mrs. Gu’s first kiss.
Ye Cong did not feel defeated when he failed to sow discord between the two. After all, it was impossible for Ye Cong to win just like that.
After all, Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei had been through life and death together.
