“I don’t know. I only know what being a husband entails; what being a father entails. I mustn’t let my wife blame herself, and I definitely won’t let my children be in danger. That’s what I intend to do.” Gu Juexi’s voice rang firmly in the cold wind.
Ye Yuwei knew. She had always known that Gu Yuexi was such a person.
“Maybe I’m not good enough,” responded Ye Yuwei as she slowly crouched down, watching the snow gradually melting into the ground.
Gu Juexi followed suit and pulled her into his arms. Her self-reproach made his heart ache.
“I’ve always believed that you can.” He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the crown of her head. “And I know, for sure, that you can.”
Ye Yuwei reached out to hold Gu Juexi’s arm and leaned against the inner part of his curled arms. “What if I disappoint you?”
Gu Juexi smiled unexpectedly and continued to kiss her hair. “My level of satisfaction will always be on par with whatever you can achieve. Therefore, I’ll never be disappointed in you.”
Gu Juexi was not lying.
Ye Yuwei looked up at Gu Juexi. “Gu Juexi, I’m not afraid, but I’m afraid too.”
“I understand.”
She was not afraid to stay by his side, but she was afraid that something would happen to their children.
“I’ll definitely do what I’ve promised you. Ye Yuwei, I won’t give up, so you shouldn’t give up too.” Gu Juexi lowered his head and said in a domineering tone. However, after he finished speaking, he did not look like he was satisfied with his statement and added, “Even if you want to give up, I won’t allow you to.”
All of her fear disappeared at that moment. This man spoke very little normally, but once he opened his mouth, he would make everyone feel like it was wrong to refute him.
“I just can’t control myself all of a sudden. Big Brother Qian said that you and Ye Cong were on par, so I—”
“What does a lousy police officer like him know?” When Gu Juexi heard Ye Yuwei’s words, he despised Qian Yikun even more.
“…” Ye Yuwei did not know what to say.
Forget it. People like Mr. Gu had always despised other people.
Gu Juexi helped Ye Yuwei up and wiped the snow off her shoulders. “Go in and apologize to your daughter. You should say sorry since you made a mistake. You taught them this, no? So, set an example.”
“…” Ye Yuwei found no words in reply.
Ye Yuwei exhaled. “Well, I did that because of you. Why don’t you go and apologize?”
“Because I’m not the one who made my daughter cry,” Gu Juexi said matter-of-factly.
Ye Yuwei took a deep breath. The air and atmosphere were both cold.
“Then tell me, who’s stronger? You or Ye Cong?” Ye Yuwei gripped Gu Juexi’s arm tightly.
Gu Juexi lowered his head to look at her hands which were clenched so tightly that her veins were visibly popping. He thought for a moment before answering, “Me.”
“Really?” Ye Yuwei was doubtful.” But Big Brother Qian—”
“Do you believe him or me?” Gu Juexi was displeased. “He doesn’t even like you. Why do you insist on listening to him?”
Where did this sudden temper come from?
The air was cold, and Gu Juexi’s temper made the surrounding air even colder. Ye Yuwei was still standing, but Gu Juexi had already turned around and left.
“Gu Juexi!” Ye Yuwei suddenly shouted.
Gu Juexi stopped in his tracks and froze for a moment. Then, he turned around, grabbed Ye Yuwei’s wrist, and took her home.
“You nearly left me there,” Ye Yuwei whispered reproachfully as she walked next to him.
Gu Juexi cast her a glare. “You deserve it Try making me angry again in the future.”
Ye Yuwei was speechless. “…”
She merely mentioned Big Brother Qian. ‘Mr. Gu, how narrow-minded are you, really?’
