Ye Yuwei looked like there was nothing worth living for anymore and wanted nothing more than to dig a hole to hide in.
“Mommy is the happiest when you and your sister are healthy and well.” Ye Yuwei tried her best to maintain a smile as she explained to her son.
“Oh, that means you don’t need him to do anything else either,” Ye Xicheng said as he shot a disdainful glance at Gu Juexi as if to say, ‘It’s not something you can achieve anyway!’
Ye Yuwei leaned against the sofa and tried not to die. Could this man retain some sense of dignity for himself in front of his own child?
Gu Juexi was in an extremely good mood as he watched Ye Yuwei struggle to explain herself. Internally, he despised the other men. Why would they offer to cook for no damn reason?
Cooking was Mr. Gu’s lifelong pain.
Even the six-year-old Ye Xicheng could cook a simple meal, but he could not.
Yes, Mr. Gu knew nothing else than making porridge!
Ye Yuwei remained leaning against the sofa as her thoughts trailed over to Mo Fei’s birthmark. She had wanted to tell Gu Juexi about it, but when she remembered where Mo Fei’s birthmark was—and the fact that Gu Juexi was a man—she really could not bring herself to say it.
Regardless, she still felt that the birthmark was quite familiar, although she was not sure if she had seen it or heard about it before.
“Can’t you do anything about that man named Ye Cong?” Ye Yuwei asked worriedly.
Gu Yuexi leaned against the sofa and caught his daughter, who had crawled over to him. He placed her on his lap and said, “Mo Fei has truly gotten herself in hot water this time. Like I said before, this unrestrained personality of hers will harm her sooner or later.”
Hearing Gu Juexi’s words, Ye Yuwei felt even more uneasy. If Gu Juexi could say that, there was no doubt that Mo Fei had really offended someone she should not have.
“If that’s the case, will Big Brother Qian be able to protect her? Or let her apologize after she recovers?” Ye Yuwei asked tentatively.
Gu Juexi raised his head to look at his wife. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. If this was something that could be resolved with an apology, they would not have needed to go to such great lengths to bring Mo Fei back.
“Mo Fei killed Ye Cong’s father. Do you think this is something that can be resolved with an apology?” Gu Juexi replied.
Ye Yuwei was at a loss for words. “…”
Alright, alright. She took back her words, alright?
Gu Juexi was amused by Ye Yuwei’s expression. He put his daughter down so that she could head over to Ye Xicheng who was still playing his game. “This isn’t something that can be solved with an apology. Ye Cong has always had a defiant disposition. He might not want to kill Mo Fei, but he enjoys games between prey and predator.”
“Or rather, Ye Cong’s coming for you because he knows you rescued Mo Fei?” Ye Yuwei learned her lesson this time and asked the most crucial question.
Gu Juexi paused. He did not expect Ye Yuwei to react so quickly this time.
Seeing Gu Juexi’s reaction, Ye Yuwei knew that her guess was right. “Gu Juexi, Brother Gu, Mr. Gu, Master Gu, what happened to ‘living a normal life’?”
Gu Juexi thought about it for a moment before speaking in an extremely severe tone, “It’s just a personal grudge. No large-scale assassinations are involved. Promise.”
Ye Yuwei was so angry that her breath was lodged at the back of her throat. She did not know what else to say.
“So, she’s safe with Big Brother Qian, right?” Ye Yuwei only managed to squeeze a line out after a long pause.
Yet, it was precisely this question that made Gu Yuexi unhappy. His wife should be more concerned about him, should she not?
Why was his wife more concerned about Mo Fei?
