Gu Juexi walked up to Ye Yuwei and put the slippers down beside her feet before going into the bathroom.
“Why would you hire an interpreter when you speak the language?” asked Ye Yuwei as the person in charge of the interpreter’s salary of over twenty thousand.
The amount was almost her salary for a year.
Gu Juexi was washing his face in the bathroom. He came out from the bathroom after he finished, wiping his face with a towel, then leaned against the bathroom door to look at Ye Yuwei who was sitting on the bed.
“Do I look like I can’t afford to hire an interpreter? What can you do if I insist on speaking only Mandarin on important occasions like this?” asked Gu Juexi casually but scornfully.
Ye Yuwei heard the reason that Gu Juexi gave and realized that there was nothing she could say in return.
Gu Juexi put the towel casually on the bathroom counter before walking to the side of the bed where Ye Yuwei was. He leaned towards her and planted his hands beside her head.
They were so close to each other that they could feel each other’s breath against their skin.
Ye Yuwei got so shy that she began to blush, and her gaze wandered. She couldn’t look Gu Juexi in the eye.
It was so weird. They had already had two kids together, so why did she get so nervous every time things became intimate between them?
Ye Yuwei’s reaction was a sort of confirmation to Gu Juexi though, especially when it came to how Ye Yuwei felt towards him.
“So does Mrs. Gu still insist that the twenty thousand was wasted?” Gu Juexi whispered in Ye Yuwei’s ear. He was so close to her that she could feel his warm breath against her neck.
Ye Yuwei pushed the man away suddenly and let out a soft cough.
“Can I go and look for Yaojing? It is not every day that we get to travel abroad at the cost of the company. Also, I need to find a gift for her wedding.”
Gu Juexi sat down on the bed heavily, and was amused to see Ye Yuwei so shy that she fled the room.
Having spring all year-round, the scenery in U State was breath-taking. Although it was a small country, U State had its own charms to attract tourists and because of that, tourism was the main source of income for U State. Being a coastal country, they could smell the sea anywhere in the country.
Ye Yuwei and Xiao Yaojing changed into Bohemian dresses and started roaming around the country without the two men.
The cost of living in U State was relatively low even though their handmade goods were high quality, making the prices unsuitable considering the quality of the products.
“We have been wanting to travel together since our university times and we’re finally doing it, and at the cost of the company too! How amazing!” Xiao Yaojing cheered happily while choosing some accessories at one of the stalls.
Ye Yuwei glanced at Xiao Yaojing out of the corner of her eye as she picked up one of the diamond necklaces. She looked at the price tag and whipped out her phone to show Xiao Yaojing her calculation. “It’s less than one-fifth of how much it would be in our country.”
“This is exactly why procurement services are trending now,” Xiao Yaojing nodded and agreed, and decided to buy as much as she could since she would need them for the wedding.
Gu Juexi and PA Wen were not wearing suits but casual attire, and were following the women who were enjoying their shopping spree.
“Let’s find a place to sit, Mr. Gu,” suggested PA Wen. PA Wen had gone shopping with Xiao Yaojing whenever he wasn’t doing his work and had already gotten used to doing this.
Gu Juexi looked at PA Wen with a meaningful expression before sitting down on the leather sofa in the shop.
PA Wen silently heaved a sigh of relief. He used to accompany only one person to do shopping but now he had to do it with three of them, and one of them was his boss.
