“Nothing, let’s go.” Ye Yuwei held her mother’s hand and walked outside. Perhaps it was just her unnecessary skepticism.
Now that everything was settled, who would spy on her?
When Ye Yuwei and Wen Jie got back, Gu Juexi was already at home.
Gu Juexi put his daughter down and left his seat as he heard the commotion outside. When he got to the door, he grabbed Ye Yuwei’s bags and asked, “In the mood for shopping, huh?”
Ye Yuwei watched him pick up the shopping bags and pass them to the maid. She didn’t understand what his purpose was—as a middleman, perhaps?
Ye Yuwei glanced slightly to the right and peeked at Bai Xiaolian, who was setting up the table for dinner. When she saw that the girl had no intention to look back at them, she uttered directly, “I have nothing to do at home. Besides, I’m married to a rich guy, shopping is my daily routine. I bought a lot of clothes today, I paid for everything with your card, don’t be surprised when you get the bill.”
Gu Juexi looked at his wife in amusement. He didn’t receive any messages regarding the so-called expenses.
Ye Yuwei never bought her children expensive clothes and shoes, and Gu Juexi knew this very well. She opted for comfortable outfits rather than price and branding.
Wen Jie smiled adoringly at their interaction. Auntie Yuan came to help her watch her hands and get ready for dinner.
Gu Juexi wrapped his arms around Ye Yuwei’s waist mischievously. He tightened his embrace even though Ye Yuwei was glaring threateningly at him. “What’s with the hot temper? Did you eat a firebomb?”
“I met Qian Yikun.”
“What? Why was he there? How did you meet him? Is he out of cases to solve and thieves to catch?” This time, it seemed as if Gu Juexi had eaten a firebomb instead. There were two names that were not to be mentioned in front of Gu Juexi—Lu Qichuan and Qian Yikun.
These two guys had confessed to his wife previously!
Ye Yuwei looked at his enraged face and was satisfied with his reaction. She patted his shoulder and teased, “Calm down, it’s dinner time.”
“Wait. Tell me, how did you meet him and why?” Gu Juexi stubbornly followed Ye Yuwei to the restroom and asked.
Ye Xicheng, who was exiting the restroom with his sister, glared at the old meatball in despise and annoyance. It was just Uncle Qian.
If Mommy and Uncle Qian really did hit it off, he couldn’t do anything about it either.
Ye Xicheng shook his head at his foolish father for not understanding such a simple argument.
Ye Yuwei entered the restroom, turned the faucet on and washed her hands. She looked back at the man who was standing stubbornly beside her. “Mr. Gu, could you go back to being bossy and arrogant, please? How could I have met him intentionally? I was there with Mom!”
Gu Juexi listened to Ye Yuwei’s apparent despising tone and gave it a second thought. He realized he was overwhelmed about this and had overreacted. This was bad.
Hence, Gu Juexi cleared his throat to compose himself. He asked as he washed his hand, “Then?” His nonchalant attitude deserved a thumbs-up.
After Ye Yuwei washed her hands, she grabbed a towel and wiped Gu Juexi’s hands. She didn’t expect that it would be this stubborn young master, and not her children, who was her biggest concern in this life.
“Then I met Mo Fei. Qian Yikun was there with his fiancée, obviously, as arranged by his family. He dumped her to pursue Mo Fei. I’m impressed with his professionalism,” Ye Yuwei said with an ambiguous smile. She hung the towel back on the rack and walked pass Gu Juexi to exit the restroom.
Gu Juexi was stunned by her remark. He didn’t pick up Ye Yuwei’s hidden meaning instantly.
Gu Juexi headed to the dining hall with a gloomy expression and saw Ye Yuwei placing Xixi into her baby chair. Ye Xicheng was a grown-up now and took a seat on the same type of chair as the adults.
Ye Yuwei didn’t object. The boy had the right to make his own decisions. As long as his reasons were justifiable and acceptable, she would agree to his requests.
“Brother Yuan Mo will be here soon. I’m so happy!”
Gu Juexi hadn’t even taken his seat, and his daughter’s remarks made him moody again.
