Ye Yuwei was once again charmed by Gu Juexi’s sweet-talking. She leaned back in her seat and felt that she needed time to adapt to this new Gu Juexi.
“How are you so good at sweet-talking now?” Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi and asked.
Gu Juexi glanced at Ye Yuwei and put away his phone after deliberating. “I spent those six years reading all the stupid novels that you read in hopes that I could use it one day when you came back to me,” Gu Juexi admitted, reaching out to hold Ye Yuwei’s hand.
Ye Yuwei was stunned at what Gu Juexi said. Her eyes began to burn as she fought back tears.
Gu Juexi might have said it casually, but the truth was that he had read every single novel that Ye Yuwei had read, though he had no idea if she was ever going to come back to him.
“And you read all of them even though they were stupid,” Ye Yuwei scoffed, lowering her gaze to hide her emotions from Gu Juexi.
Gu Juexi gave the driver an address and pulled up the divider in the car for more privacy. He had never been into public display of affections after all.
Gu Juexi pulled Ye Yuwei into his arms and said, “Xiao Yaojing gave me more than a hundred of them. I didn’t know you like those kinds of novels, turns out you actually have a dirty mind.”
“Yaojing gave novels to you? What did she give you?” asked Ye Yuwei in shock as Gu Juexi hugged her tightly. Ye Yuwei recalled the kind of novels that she liked and the kind that Xiao Yaojing liked and became uneasy.
Gu Juexi lifted Ye Yuwei’s chin and murmured, “I really wouldn’t have expected you to like novels like that. When you read them alone, do you…”
“Oh be quiet!” Ye Yuwei reached out to cover Gu Juexi’s mouth quickly, her face turning red.
Why would Xiao Yaojing sabotage her like this?
Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei blushing and felt his mood lift.
He had put what he learned from the novels to good use after all.
“Where are we going?” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi and asked quickly. She would die of embarrassment if they continued their conversation about the novels.
Gu Juexi gave Ye Yuwei a knowing look for trying to avoid the conversation but let her be.
“We are going to see Ma Zhong,” Gu Juexi answered.
Ye Yuwei wasn’t surprised. A man like Gu Juexi would never sit on what he thought needed to be done.
“I would very much be doing charity if I do this. It would cost me a lot and I think you ought to know,” said Gu Juexi seriously.
Ye Yuwei continued to lie in his arms and scoffed when she heard what he said. “Would you not do it just because I said so? And it is not like you don’t have the money.”
Gu Juexi chuckled and patted Ye Yuwei’s shoulder gently while she snuggled in his arms. Who else would know him so well?
Ma Zhong lived in a village near the resort.
Gu Juexi made the driver stop near the village so that he and Ye Yuwei could walk to Ma Zhong’s house.
Ye Yuwei knew that Gu Juexi was trying not to stress Ma Zhong out.
Ma Zhong was watering the plants in his farm when Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei finally found him. He was quite immobile and could barely lift the buckets, so all he did was water the plants while his sister Ma Mei lifted the buckets.
“Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu,” Ma Mei called out the moment she saw them. She quickly put down the buckets and looked at Ma Zhong who was watering the plants.
“Mr. Gu is here, brother.”
