“The whole world doesn’t know, right? Doesn’t he have a guilty conscience for taking up the slots reserved for the two major heartthrobs in the Mathematics world?” Wen Shan thought that if she was a goldfish now, she should be on the brink of an explosion.
Ye Yuwei replied, “I thought everyone knew.”
“Sister-in-law.” Wen Shan’s voice sounded even more depressed.
Ye Yuwei carried Xi Xi in her arms and sat by the bed. She looked down at her daughter and cooed, “Mommy is tired. Can you lie down with mommy for a while?” Ye Yuwei had held her daughter for the entire morning. She felt as though her arms no longer belonged to her. Since Gu Juexi was not around, she could not afford a change of arms.
“Sister-in-law, are you alright? Am I disturbing you?” Wen Shan asked hurriedly.
“It’s nothing. Xi Xi’s down with a fever and she’s quite clingy now,” Ye Yuwei said as she rested her forehead on her daughter’s head. She frowned when she realized her daughter’s forehead was still warm. “Honestly, though, does it matter whether he’s Nalan Chunbo or If? As long as he treats you well, isn’t that good enough?”
“This is different. This is clearly a lie.” Wen Shan kicked off some pebbles on the road. “Sister-in-law, why don’t you take Xi Xi to the hospital and let them have a look?”
“It’s fine. She’s just slightly feverish. Now that she has taken her medicine, she’s just whining because she wants her daddy. She is in a bad mood, too.”
“Big Brother Gu isn’t back yet?” asked Wen Shan. She had only taken a few steps outside the school compound when she saw police cars turning into the school. Wen Shan could not help but tiptoe to take a look, wondering what had happened.
“No, I can’t contact him either. Think about how my brother is still with you, and look at your Big Brother Gu. It’s normal for me to not be able to see him.” Ye Yuwei said. When she saw that Xi Xi was about to cry again, she picked Xi Xi up again. “Yes, you are my precious darling princess. Shan Shan, I’ll talk to you later. Xi Xi is making a scene.”
“Alright, you should take care of Xi Xi first.” Wen Shan hurriedly agreed. She could not wait to return and see what the police were doing there despite herself.
Ye Yuwei put down her phone and stood up with Xi Xi in her arms. “You are definitely my precious darling princess. Let us see if your elder brother has returned from school?”
Xi Xi hugged Ye Yuwei’s neck and rested her small chin on her mother’s shoulder. “I haven’t seen daddy many days now. If I don’t see daddy now, imma die.”
Ye Yuwei carried Xi Xi out of the room. “Daddy is busy with work. He’ll come back when he’s done. You should be a good girl when daddy’s out so that he can feel assured. Otherwise, won’t daddy be very tired if he has to worry about you when he’s working?”
“Then, daddy should just stop working.”
Ye Yuwei was suddenly at a loss for words. ” … ”
Xi Xi was definitely Ye Yuwei’s daughter.
“Xi Xi, your mommy has carried you for so long. Let Grandma carry you for a while, okay?” asked Wen Jie when she could not stand seeing Ye Yuwei like that anymore. She felt sorry for Ye Yuwei.
Xi Xi quickly turned her head away and pouted; she would only let her mommy hug her.
“It’s okay, Mom. Let me hold her.” Ye Yuwei carried Xi Xi to the kitchen. She took Xi Xi’s milk bottle and tested the temperature. Their servant had just made the baby bottle and the temperature was just right. Ye Yuwei reached out and passed the bottle to Xi Xi. “Mom, I will bring her to pick up Xicheng. At least, I can still sit in the car for a while.” Ye Yuwei said that out of extreme exhaustion. Xi Xi was almost six years old now. Gu Juexi might not feel anything when he held Xi Xi for a whole day, but Ye Yuwei could barely make it past an hour.
Xi Xi, their precious little darling, had always been born delicate. Now, she was even more so with Gu Juexi spoiling her.
Ye Yuwei brought Xi Xi out of the House. Gu Tianmu frowned as he watched her. “This kid will be spoiled sooner or later. ”
“Isn’t it normal for kids to cling to their mothers when they’re sick? Besides, my granddaughter is faring much better than other kids,” Wen Jie replied in disagreement. “You just dislike Weiwei.”
“I—” Gu Tianmu was rendered speechless by Wen Jie’s words. With a flick of his arm, he returned to his room.
