Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes at him. Without saying anything else, she reached over for her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth too.
Gu Juexi hovered behind Xi Xi to prevent her from falling.
“Mo Fei has returned,” Gu Juexi said while assisting Xi Xi in brushing her teeth.
Ye Yuwei froze halfway brushing her teeth. With a mouthful of foam, she turned around to look at Gu Juexi.
“However, she’s gravely injured this time. When I found her, she had already fallen into a coma from her severe injuries and she hasn’t woken up since.” Gu Juexi reached for the cup and put it to Xi Xi’s mouth, making it easier to rinse her mouth. His words, though, were directed at Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei rushed through the brushing and quickly rinsed her mouth. She waited until a part of the foam in her mouth was gone before she asked, “How did things get so severe?”
“She offended someone. She’s now at Qian Yikun’s place. I’ll bring you over to see her after breakfast,” Gu Juexi continued as he washed Xi Xi’s face. He then lifted her and placed her on the ground. “But even if you see her now, she might not wake up immediately.”
Ye Yuwei’s heart was aflame with worry. She had always been on good terms with Mo Fei. In Ye Yuwei’s heart, she had always looked up to Mo Fei. She was free and unrestrained. The things that she had experienced—the life she lived—was something that some might aspire to but could never attain. Every woman dreams of becoming a queen, and she was living a life that every woman wanted to live.
Therefore, Ye Yuwei remained distraught until it was time for breakfast.
Other than having his eyes lit up a little knowing that his daddy returned, Ye Xicheng did not express any other explicit forms of welcome. Gu Juexi knew his son too well, therefore, he did not mind.
“Brother, you’re going to Wen Shan’s house today, right?” Ye Yuwei suddenly recalled. Nalan Chunbo mentioned that today was the day that he would visit the Wen family officially.
Nalan Chunbo nodded. “Don’t mind me. I can go there myself.”
“Aren’t you single already? Why are you still going? Ouch—” The moment the words came out of Gu Juexi’s mouth, he was forced to shut up by Ye Yuwei’s sudden stomp on his foot.
Nalan Chunbo remained calm. He turned a deaf ear to Gu Juexi’s words and continued eating slowly.
Ye Yuwei raised her head and glared at Gu Juexi, signaling at him to shut up now.
“Visiting the girl’s family is a grand occasion. How can you go alone? Your uncle and I will go with you later. Your mother is no longer around, but that doesn’t mean we should brush your affair of a lifetime aside just like that,” Wen Jie said gently. She said this from the perspective of a mother.
The expression on Gu Tianmu’s face darkened. Why should he accompany someone else’s son to his marriage proposal?
At that instant, the atmosphere at the dining table turned somewhat awkward. Xi Xi was the only person who was unaffected by what happened. She was just excited because her daddy had returned.
Ye Xicheng’s large eyes darted around the crowd. In the end, he decided to lower his head and eat. However, he said something during the meal.
“Mommy, there will be an event meant for parents and kids in school next Tuesday. Will you come?” said Ye Xicheng as he looked up at his mommy.
“Of course I’ll attend the parent-child event.” Ye Yuwei’s curiosity was piqued as to why her son would ask this question.
Ye Xicheng was very pleased. With a smiling face, he continued eating with his head lowered.
Gu Juexi was speechless. “…”
Did the parent-child event have nothing to do with him? Why did he not ask him?
Ye Yuwei peered at Gu Juexi from the corner of her eyes and instantly understood what her son implied. With that realization in mind, she intentionally asked, “Did your teacher mention that Daddy and Mommy should go together, or should just one of us go?”
Ye Xicheng chomped on a mouthful of rice and looked up at Ye Yuwei. “I didn’t ask. Just one should be enough.”
“…” Gu Juexi said nothing.
