Gu Juexi leaned on the table. He did not deny her statement.
“He is in charge of the Asia Pacific region of an international bank, he has the capability to do it.” Gu Juexi placed one hand on the table, glancing at Ye Yuwei who was trembling nervously.
She placed the bowl down clumsily. She felt like she was in an abnormal state of mind but did not know how to deal with it.
Gu Juexi pulled her into his embrace and she hugged him back tightly. “No, I hate this, I don’t want anyone to approach me for a purpose.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Juexi felt nothing but grief for her and did not know how to comfort her damaged heart. From the beginning, this was a play orchestrated by someone who intentionally put her at the center of the stage.
“I’m here with you. Just wait patiently for this play to end, then we can start anew again,” Gu Juexi consoled her and kissed her head.
Ye Yuwei took a deep breath to stop herself from crying.
Perhaps there had been so much emotional impact on her lately that she did not feel like this was the last straw.
After composing herself, she raised her head to look at him and said, “The one man who hurt me the most before has now become the only person who has not taken advantage of me.”
Gu Juexi’s expression darkened gloomily upon her remark and he chided, “We made a deal—no personal attacks. It’s been ages ago, can you stop bringing it up again, please?”
Ye Yuwei witnessed his agitated expression and it lifted her mood immensely. She held out her arms and hugged him tightly. “I do it on purpose to make you feel sorry for me and love me more.”
However, it had only made him feel bad and heartbroken. He wanted to tell her that even if she did not mention it, he would love her wholeheartedly for the rest of their lives.
“So everyone is coming for you now.” Ye Yuwei took another deep breath but she could not exhale the residual air inside her.
Gu Juexi laughed at her statement and pinched her cheeks when he saw her pouting. “The only person I care about is you, what do any of them have to do with me?”
The air inside her lungs disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Despite his habit of slaying people with mean and harsh words, he would occasionally say something flirtatious that would make her feel ecstatic!
She was about to respond when she saw her daughter trying to open the hedgehog’s cage door.
“Dear God, what do you think you’re doing?” Ye Yuwei shrieked in horror and bent over to carry Xixi.
The hedgehog rolled out when Gu Juexi kicked the cage away, and they heard Xixi shouting as if she was in pain. Her little finger was pricked by the hedgehog, forming a droplet of blood.
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze to check Xixi’s hand but abruptly looked up in shock when Gu Juexi captured the hedgehog. “Gu Juexi, Gu Juexi—”
Gu Juexi returned the hedgehog to its cage and turned around toward Ye Yuwei’s direction when he heard her terrified shriek.
A droplet of ink-like blood welled up in the spot where Xixi’s fair and plump finger was pricked.
Yes, a droplet of ink-like blood.
Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei looked at each other in tremendous panic. He picked Xixi up swiftly and rushed to the clinic to look for Master Yao Lao. Ye Yuwei followed hurriedly behind them.
Despite the fact that there was a patient in the clinic, Gu Juexi ignored them and quickly put Xixi on the treatment table.
“Master, why is Xixi’s blood black?” Ye Yuwei was panicking and spoke hastily.
Upon hearing this, Wen Jie who was tidying up the prescription files hurried over to them along with Ye Xicheng.
Master Yao Lao was astounded and her expression shifted slightly when she checked the droplet of blood on Xixi’s finger. She asked Gu Juexi to put her down and gripped her wrist.
Xixi blinked curiously at the adults’ reaction and looked at her mother, unable to comprehend the current situation.
