Finally, when the sky was painted with the pink and purple hues of twilight, Gu Juexi found a book lying in the corner of a bookstore at the South Gate with Ye Yuwei’s name written on it. At the back of the book, Gu Juexi’s name was there, a red heart drawn around it.
Wow, so this was what foolish youth looked like.
Ye Yuwei buried her face in her hands. This was so embarrassing. Her reputation was at stake.
But in her defense, it had happened way back when she was a college student. That was youth. Everyone must have done something foolish in their youth, right?
The trade-in value for this kind of second-hand book was about three or four dollars, but the bookstores would resell them at about ten dollars. Therefore, second-hand textbooks were the most valuable in bookstores around the universities since they could generate massive revenue with their transactions.
The book that Ye Yuwei sold cheaply years ago was bought for almost three times the trade-in price.
Gu Juexi was crazy, and she was the one accompanying him.
Gu Juexi’s usual character of the bossy and overbearing CEO disappeared. He held the book in his hands like he was cuddling a priceless diamond, then wiggled the book in front of Ye Yuwei. This was his final prop.
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes in disdain.
With the book in his hands, Gu Juexi left the South Gate bookstore with Ye Yuwei. They had to cross the entire campus to the North Gate where they parked their car.
“Ye Yuwei, I didn’t know you were that foolish and naive.” Gu Juexi stared at his name in the book smugly. He was on cloud nine.
Ye Yuwei wanted to snatch the book from him, but Gu Juexi curled one arm around her neck and held the book high out of her reach with the other.
“Everyone had their youthful moments, okay?” Ye Yuwei gritted her teeth in agitation. She remembered how much she adored him back then. When the lecture bored her, she would be happy by simply looking at his name.
Now, Ye Yuwei’s love for him seemed more firm and sturdy. His name in her book further proved that her feelings for him were not as simple as redemption and gratitude. He would never doubt her love ever again.
“I think the naive and foolish vibe is much more lovely than this one, so you should retain that youthful spirit.” Gu Juexi patted Ye Yuwei’s head as if there was a switch there that could transform her back into her youthful self.
At 7 p.m., the campus started to get crowded as the students were heading to the lecture halls for the attendance agenda.
Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei were walking against the flow. Gu Juexi’s presence had always attracted a lot of unwanted attention, so a lot of students were taking a second look at them as they walked by.
He, on the other hand, didn’t have a care in the world. He kept walking with his wife in his embrace.
Hmm—
It wasn’t so bad.
On their way back, Ye Yuwei was still confused. She turned to the man driving the car and asked, “What do you want the book for?”
Was the sole purpose of this college visit to search for this book?
Of course, who was she kidding? Mr. Gu wouldn’t go to her school for nostalgic reasons.
Gu Juexi didn’t answer her question, just glanced at her briefly.
Ye Yuwei was taken aback by the glance. Did he have some devilish plan in his mind again?
“My dear Gu Juexi, the proposal will commence in two days time so may I request that you don’t start any trouble now?” Ye Yuwei asked sweetly. “Or you can propose to me now, I don’t mind if we don’t have an audience.”
Gu Juexi glared at Ye Yuwei’s hand that was pressing gently on his arm. He held her hand up and pressed a kiss to it before saying, “I beg your pardon, no audience? My proposal? Are you kidding me?”
