When the elevator reached the first floor, Mo Fei sprinted out dramatically. She held the door and exclaimed in a sarcastic voice, “Mr. Gu, you’d better be careful. Mrs. Gu saw you pulling me into the elevator just now, tut-tut.”
“Get lost—” Crossing his arms, Gu Juexi growled like a predator.
Mo Fei let go of her hand and watched the elevator door shut. What did Ye Yuwei see in that arrogant and temperamental person?
Gu Juexi went upstairs again. On his way to Ye Yuwei’s office, several employees were whispering and looking at him as if expecting mayhem to ensue, but he gave them the cold shoulder. Gu Juexi pushed the office door open and entered. Ye Yuwei kept her gaze on the documents and did not react to his arrival.
He closed the door and asked, “Did anything strange happen today?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact. I witnessed the father of my children pulling a woman into the elevator in a very romantic way,” Ye Yuwei scoffed in a jealous voice. She raised her gaze, cupping her chin in her hand and glaring the man who was slowly closing in on her.
Gu Juexi walked up to the desk, put both hands on the table and bent over. He was only inches away from her as he said teasingly, “Are you jealous?”
Ye Yuwei leaned back in her chair, keeping her distance from the man with her arms crossed.
“Gu Juexi, you owe me an explanation. Who is she?” Ye Yuwei interrogated in a cold and tense tone. She could have a calm conversation with him on all topics except when it involved women.
Gu Juexi was amused and raised his eyebrows at the woman who was obviously enraged. “Mo Fei.”
“I know what her name is,” Ye Yuwei snapped bitterly.
“She is one of the top five hitmen in the world,” Gu Juexi said simply. He stood and watched as the blood drained from Ye Yuwei’s face.
Ye Yuwei rubbed her neck unconsciously. She felt that the whole thing had taken a wild turn to horror, considering the fact that an elite hitman was by her side.
“Is she here to kill me?” Ye Yuwei asked in a frightened tone, getting to her feet.
“She won’t dare to even if I give her a head start,” Gu Juexi sneered. He advanced slowly toward Ye Yuwei, grabbed her by her waist and wrapped her in his embrace. He asked gently, “So tell me, has anything strange happened today?”
“I heard about a woman frequenting your office last year, does that count?” Ye Yuwei asked in a threatening voice.
Gu Juexi narrowed his eyes upon the remark, lowering his head to nip her lips and said, “No.”
Ye Yuwei pondered and replied, “Then no, nothing unusual today.”
Gu Juexi decided not to give his wife the benefit of the doubt as her lacking intelligence might miss seeing or sensing something dangerous.
Anyhow, he was reassured of her safety since she had him at home and Mo Fei at the office.
He was curious as to who targeted Ye Yuwei.
“What are you doing here?” Ye Yuwei raised her gaze and met his eyes. It was only 4.30 pm, still early by office standards.
Gu Juexi pressed another kiss to her cheek then let her go. Still the same old bad boy behind closed doors.
“I came over to give you a ride home. Where are the roses I gave you this morning?” Gu Juexi scanned the room but failed to find the bouquet in her office. He pursed his lips in disappointment.
She rolled her eyes at him in disgust when he mentioned the bouquet and snapped, “Mr. Gu, please knock some sense into yourself. Don’t do something if you don’t mean it.”
“I never thought that I would have to use my intelligence on a woman. You are the first one, you should feel honored.” Gu Juexi glared at her for disregarding his efforts.
Ye Yuwei smiled fakely and exclaimed in irritation, “Gu Juexi, if not for the fact that I don’t want my children to be fatherless, I would have killed you by now. Get out of my sight!”
