“Of course not.” Ye Yuwei quickly denied. “I have to get back to my job there, that is why—”
“Who are you lying to? After Miss Ouyang resigned from Gu Bank, Gu Juexi had not given her position to anyone else. Every discerning person knows that he is keeping that position for you,” Xiao Yaojing out her hand around Ye Yuwei’s shoulders and continued walking together with her.
Ye Yuwei frowned. “It has been impossible for Gu Juexi and me since a long time ago.”
“If it was impossible for the both of you, then why did you give birth to the two children?” Xiao Yaojing’s questions were getting sharper and sharper. “I can see through your lies. If you did not care about him, then why would you pick a fight with him today for no apparent reason?”
Ye Yuwei bit her lips lightly. “How did you find out?”
“Wen Tao told me,” Xiao Yaojing said. “Actually, you still mind what he did to you in the past. That is why you wanted to pick a fight with him.”
“I—”
“Listen to what I have to say first,” Xiao Yaojing interrupted Ye Yuwei directly. “I am not speaking up for that scumbag because he deserves whatever you are doing to him now anyway. All I want to say is, why is it that you did not have any emotions before this but then now there is a sudden change in your attitude? Is it because you are afraid that you are going to fall for him again or is it because he did something that touched your heart?”
Ye Yuwei was amazed at Xiao Yaojing’s excellent observation abilities.
She had only begun to act differently after Gu Juexi started to childishly seek her praise. Her attitude only changed further when her cousin brother warned her to focus on what she had come here more.
She was afraid that she would fall for him once again.
“The fact that Gu Juexi and I are not enemies already shows my generosity towards him,” Ye Yuwei smiled and said. “Which shop should we go to? It looks like a lot of those shops that we used to go to have already closed down.” Ye Yuwei immediately changed the topic.
Xiao Yaojing wanted to speak further but when she saw Ye Yuwei trying hard to change the topic of the conversation, she decided not to continue talking about it either.
“The hotpot place that we used to go to is still there,” Xiao Yaojing said as she pulled Ye Yuwei towards the other side of the mall.
“You want to have hotpot, in May?” Ye Yuwei asked. She thought that she might have heard her wrongly.
“The spicy one!” Xiao Yaojing replied in a serious tone.
Ye Yuwei was speechless.
Because the number of people who would eat hotpot in May was lesser than the number of people who would have hotpot during winter, there was still a lot of empty tables when they entered the shop.
The both of them sat down at a table by the window. The store was still the same as the good old days, but the staffs are completely different now.
Xiao Yaojing ordered the spiciest soup base for the hotpot and she also ordered plenty of dishes and meat.
Ye Yuwei watched as Xiao Yaojing ordered the food but she did not say anything. Ye Yuwei did not comment either when Xiao Yaojing ordered two bottles of liquor.
Xiao Yaojing was trying to keep a brave front, but Ye Yuwei knew that she was extremely upset.
When the hotpot arrived, Ye Yuwei and Xiao Yaojing began cooking and eating their food. Xiao Yaojing opened the bottle of liquor and started filling up their cups.
The hotpot was very spicy and in a short time, tears began falling down Xiao Yaojing’s face.
Ye Yuwei looked at Xiao Yaojing who was binging on the food opposite her. “If it is impossible for you to get together, this can only mean that the both of you are not meant to be.”
“Yezi, do you know? I have wanted to give up on him since a long time ago, but I was always afraid. I was afraid that no one would cry with me when I decided to give up on him.” Xiao Yaojing was already a little tipsy and when she said that sentence, her words were all jumbled up.
Ye Yuwei listened carefully to what Xiao Yaojing had just said and clenched the glass tightly in her hand. In the next second, she had already filled up her glass with liquor, and downed the entire glass together with Xiao Yaojing.
