Xixi pouted and quickly walked over and climbed onto Gu Juexi’s lap. She then whispered, “I don’t like her.”
She did not like anyone who did not like her mother.
“I don’t like you either,” Sichen said loudly when she heard Xixi whispering to her father. Sichen’s expression was full of grievances when she saw that Xixi had both her mother and father by her side.
Gu Juexi carried Xixi in his arms and placed her head on his shoulder. He patted her back gently.
“A little girl should not be so fierce,” Ye Xicheng suddenly said. “If you are so fierce, nobody will like you.”
Ye Yuwei looked down at her son and nudged his arm so that he would stop speaking.
Lu Sichen widened her eyes as she glared at Ye Xicheng.
“Sichen is still young, so you should not speak to her like that,” Ye Yuwei tried to educate Ye Xicheng.
“I am speaking the truth. My younger sister would never be as fierce as her,” Ye Xicheng said as a matter of fact.
When she saw that the three children were about to start a war, Ye Yuwei quickly said, “Children will always have the instinct to protect their own mothers. You are also doing the same thing as her, so how can you say that she is wrong?”
Ye Xicheng wanted to say something else but then finally decided against it. He had not wanted to pick a fight with her, but that little girl started it when she bullied his younger sister.
But what his mother had just said was very true. If someone was bullying his mother, he would not let them off either.
Forget it, he was just going to ignore her.
Gu Juexi kissed Xixi gently on her cheek to coax her and calm her down.
Lu Sichen looked at the interaction between Gu Juexi and his daughter and then she lowered her head sadly. Her father had never given her so much affection before.
When Ye Yuwei came out of the washroom, she saw Lu Qichuan who was standing just outside the washroom.
Ye Yuwei started washing her hands as she stared at Lu Qichuan who was standing near her.
“Don’t take what Sichen said earlier to heart,” Lu Qichuan suddenly said.
Ye Yuwei proceeded to dry her hands as she listened to Lu Qichuan speak. She then smiled at Lu Qichuan and said, “How could I blame a child for something that she says?”
Lu Qichuan heaved a huge sigh of relief as soon as he heard Ye Yuwei’s words.
Ye Yuwei walked towards Lu Qichuan and stopped right beside him. “Brother Lu, Sichen is so sensitive because she cares about you. It might also be because you do not spend enough time together with her.”
Lu Qichuan leaned against the window as he lowered his head and stared at his shoes. “I don’t even know how to interact with her. Every time I spend time with her, she would always ask me about her mother. I do not know how to answer her when she brings that up.”
Ye Yuwei opened her mouth slightly. She was also curious and wanted to ask Lu Qichuan where Sichen’s mother was.
“I can tell that Sichen really cares about you,” Ye Yuwei said as she placed her hand on the railing and looked at Lu Qichuan. “If it weren’t for you, I would have been burned to death a long time ago in that fire. You have always believed that I was the one who saved you, but in actual fact, the one who saved you was Gu Juexi and the one who saved me, was you.”
“But the person that you fell in love with, is still him,” Lu Qichuan said as he looked up at Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei could not help but loosen her hand that was holding tightly onto the railing. She did not know how to answer Lu Qichuan.
It was perhaps because once Gu Juexi appeared, he brought them out of danger, maybe that was why—
“I was young. Maybe I was blind in the past,” Ye Yuwei finally replied. This was the only answer that she could think of.
Lu Qichuan laughed as he looked at Ye Yuwei who had already let go of the railing. “Anyway, don’t take what Sichen said to heart. Whatever that is going on between her mother and I, is not related to you at all.”
Ye Yuwei nodded slightly before asking, “Then, can I ask you a question? When will you finally introduce us to Sichen’s mother?”
