Gu Juexi felt the tension in the air when he went to fetch Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei had remained silent ever since she got into the car. Gu Juexi started the car then asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Yuwei leaned back in the chair and glanced at Gu Juexi. She seemed annoyed. “My brother knows that Nalan Jing is alive, and he is devastated because of that. Moreover, Wen Shan is on her way back home. She might reach home tonight.”
Gu Juexi was not surprised at all. He did not approve of hiding the truth from Nalan Chunbo. It was what Ye Yuwei had insisted, and he dared not oppose her decision.
“It’s fine now. Your wish is granted. Wen Shan is coming back, and she’s leaving my brother for real this time,” Ye Yuwei sighed.
Gu Juexi sneered. He had only told her the truth and gave her a warning in advance. It was impossible for Nalan Chunbo to be with Wen Shan the way he was now.
“So, what is your plan now?” asked Ye Yuwei angrily.
“Your wedding dress will be ready the day after tomorrow, so maybe we can go and take the wedding photos together then. I’ve booked three places.”
Ye Yuwei was speechless.
‘Excuse me? Are we actually talking about that right now?’
“I’ve been planning it for a while now, but you were the one who wanted to go and help Nalan Chunbo resolve this issue. Well, it’s settled now. You don’t have to help them anymore,” said Gu Juexi smilingly.
Ye Yuwei did not respond.
‘So it was me who troubled you before?’
“Are you sure that the one who threatened me is Nalan Jing? Are you sure that it has nothing to do with the both of us?” Ye Yuwei laughed coldly.
Gu Juexi was stunned.
It was a good question.
“I just don’t understand. Why do you keep bringing up Lin Ximei? Why do you keep holding onto that issue so stubbornly?” asked Gu Juexi with a frown.
“It’s what we call a woman’s instinct.”
“You don’t have that,” Gu Juexi scoffed and glanced at Ye Yuwei coldly, then looked back at the road.
Ye Yuwei raised her hand and smacked him. “Is there any news about Wen Lan?”
“Speaking of Wen Lan, I have something to tell you. Nalan Jing is protecting Mom. What do you think it means?”
“Nalan Jing is protecting Mom?” Ye Yuwei straightened her body, and looked at Gu Juexi eagerly. “What do you mean?”
“If you’re Wen Lan and you know that your identity is revealed, what would you do if you’re facing an unbeatable enemy?” asked Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei thought for a while. “I’ll risk everything I have. Even if I have to die, I’ll take my enemy down with me. So do you mean Wen Lan is trying to kill my mom?”
Ye Yuwei’s voice had risen in panic, and she forced herself to calm down.
“My people found out that Nalan Jing’s people are always around Mom, which means that he’s actually protecting her secretly. The question is, why?” Gu Juexi glanced at Ye Yuwei briefly as he spoke.
Ye Yuwei rubbed her chin absently. She was thinking about Gu Juexi’s question.
“It’s because Mom is the only one who believed in my aunt from the beginning until the end.” Ye Yuwei looked up suddenly.
Ye Yuwei’s heart was beating fast. ‘Is this our first inference?’
‘My aunt is innocent. Our Ye family never harmed the Gu family.’
“I’ve told Nalan Jing that Wen Lan is still alive, so what happens next depends on the both of them. It has nothing to do with us now.”
