After PA Wen heard that request, he looked down. His eyes had an unnamed emotion in them. It felt like he was smiling, but inside, he felt something he could not explain.
While Gu Juexi drove back to Gu Mansion, Ye Yuwei observed Lu Sichen who had her head down. The little girl did not speak, she just kept tugging at own clothes.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi. “What is Brother Lu up to?”
“There’s a court case at A City, so he went there,” Gu Juexi answered quietly. He then looked at Lu Sichen from the rearview mirror.
Ye Yuwei’s gaze returned to Lu Sichen. “Sichen, will you speak to me?”
“I hate you,” Lu Sichen said.
“Sichen,” Gu Juexi groaned with a hint of warning.
Lu Sichen raised her head and pursed her little mouth. Her face was full of hate for Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei was not angry. She gazed down at her instead and asked gently, “You hate me because you think that your mommy won’t come back because of me?”
“Because daddy likes you, that’s why he doesn’t want mommy.” Lu Sichen clenched her fists and spoke like she was about to cry.
Ye Yuwei felt the mood in the car become weird, especially the cold aura emanating from Gu Juexi.
The thing between her and Lu Qichuan had always been a knot in Gu Juexi’s heart, although in reality there was nothing between Lu Qichuan and her.
“Where’s your mommy then?” Ye Yuwei asked again.
“My mommy’s a painter, an incredible painter,” Lu Sichen declared, proudly lifting her head. Even if her mommy never came home, even though her mommy did not like her, she still felt proud of her mommy.
“Painter?” Ye Yuwei was startled. She did know a painter who was almost her age. Moreover, that painter looked quite similar to her.
Thinking about it, the knot in Ye Yuwei’s heart tightened again.
‘Lu Qichuan, what’s the meaning of this?’
“That’s right, my mommy’s beautiful. She’s even a great painter,” Lu Sichen continued proudly.
Ye Yuwei watched and felt really sorry for her. All a young child like this wanted was probably some attention from her mother.
Ye Yuwei reached out to stroke her head, but the little girl quickly dodged.
Ye Yuwei was not angry. She watched the small body retreat to a corner. Compared to Xixi and Xicheng, this child was far more pitiful.
After Gu Juexi brought them back to Gu Mansion, Gu Juexi did not arrange for the Lu Family’s servants to take Lu Sichen but brought her into his home instead.
Xixi was happy when she saw her mommy and daddy coming back together, but when she saw Lu Sichen, her face turned glum. She did not like that little girl who was hostile to her.
Ye Xicheng also had his guard up around Lu Sichen, but did not display it as obviously as Xixi.
“Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and eat up,” Wen Jie said from the living room. “Sichen, come to grandma.”
“I want Grandma to carry me,” little Xixi hurriedly said.
“Xixi,” Ye Yuwei admonished as she reached out for Xixi and carried her. “Grandma took care of you the entire day already. Also, little Sichen is still young. Grandma needs to take care of little Sichen.”
“But she’s my grandma,” Xixi said softly.
Kids would always claim what belongs to them.
