It was children’s nature to run around and create trouble, but because of physical problems, Xixi never had the chance to do that.
When Xiao Yaojing entered, she saw PA Wen and Lu Qichuan who were seated together. Xiao Yaojing smiled back awkwardly at Lu Qichuan who smiled and waved at her, but when she looked at PA Wen, her expression changed immediately and she quickly chose a seat that was furthest away from PA Wen.
PA Wen: “…”
What had he done wrong?
Yu Jiangqing walked directly over to Lu Qichuan and sat down beside him. He could sense the strange atmosphere almost immediately and he nudged Lu Qichuan and asked him, “What is going on?”
“We are celebrating the resurrection of Ye Yuwei, but it seems like there is more to just Ye Yuwei now,” Lu Qichuan replied.
Ye Yuwei carried Ye Xicheng up and went over to sit down next to Xiao Yaojing. There was a certain amount of distance between Gu Juexi and herself.
“Mommy—” Xixi called out as she reached out her hand, disgruntled because her mother sat so far away from her.
Ye Yuwei put Ye Xicheng down and walked over to carry Xixi but unfortunately, someone was unwilling to let go of her.
Ye Yuwei frowned as she glared at Gu Juexi.
Gu Juexi continued carrying Xixi in his arms as he leaned back against the sofa and smiled at Ye Yuwei.
Although the situation was awkward, nobody felt anything because every one of them were busy watching the scene between Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei.
It was as if they were watching a scene from a movie.
After all, Captain Gu was now afraid to go all out against Ye Yuwei. Therefore, Gu Juexi’s comrades were all enjoying the interesting showdown between the both of them.
After all, Gu Juexi was the one in power in the past.
“CEO Gu, please let go,” Ye Yuwei suddenly said.
Gu Juexi ignored her words and continued leaning back against the sofa as he held tightly onto Xixi. Xixi looked at both her mother and father with her bright and shiny eyes and then leaned her head on her father’s shoulder. She liked that her father and mother were both close to her.
“CEO Gu, was the cactus useless to you? Is your brain not functioning yet?” Ye Yuwei said.
Lu Qichuan and Yu Jiangqing exchanged confused glances with one another. “What did she mean?”
PA Wen then explained to them about the cactus incident and how Ye Yuwei threw the cactus back at Gu Juexi.
Lu Qichuan and Yu Jiangqing looked at one another before bursting out into laughter after listening to the story.
This was amazing. They had known Gu Juexi for more than twenty years but this was the first time that they had known that there was a soft side to him.
“Cactus? Was his brain shaped like a labyrinth?” Lu Qichuan said as he laughed. The more he thought about it, the funnier he thought it was.
Xiao Yaojing leaned against the back of the sofa directly opposite Lu Qichuan as she looked at Lu Qichuan who was laughing happily with Yu Jiangqing. She suddenly felt gloomy for a moment.
For the past six years, Lu Qichuan had always treated her as a friend. He knew how she felt about him, and he knew very well that she liked him, but he had always pretended not to know.
Initially, PA Wen was laughing together with Lu Qichuan and Yu Jiangqing but when he saw Xiao Yaojing staring at Lu Qichuan, he could not help but stare at her. Although he wanted to, he simply could not take his gaze away from her.
Xiao Yaojing was in love with Lu Qichuan. This was something that he had already known since a few years back.
But—
PA Wen forced himself to turn his gaze away. He then lowered his head and downed the entire glass of wine. He felt that this was the only way that he could suppress whatever feelings that he was not supposed to have.
