PA Wen was startled by the unexpected invitation. He cleared his throat with a smile and said, “Madam, thank you for your generous offer but I’ll have a bite on my way back.”
After PA Wen left, Ye Yuwei sensed a rather dark aura emanating from Gu Juexi.
“Seems like you have a lot of concern for him, huh?” Gu Juexi drawled mockingly, narrowing his eyes at her.
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes and fell back onto the sofa.
After a while, she sat upright and asked, “Gu Juexi, your father can have his hands on the inheritance if he takes Xicheng away by his father’s deathbed. Do you think your father is incapable of snatching your son away? Is he so incapable that he won’t even bother to try?”
Ye Yuwei ignored the cold stare aimed at her. She was convinced that she was heading in the right direction.
“Are you seriously trying to find excuses for him? What else? He has feelings for my mother?” Gu Juexi probed angrily.
“Gu Juexi, can you please act maturely for a minute? You go crazy every time we talk about your father. Can we handle this matter sensibly, please?”
“No,” Gu Juexi objected instantly.
Ye Yuwei lifted her hand then decided against it.
This was a young man who was badly hurt by his father.
Ye Yuwei pondered, then got to her feet. Supported by the cane, she walked over and sat by the bed. He was lying on his side, his back facing her.
Was he upset?
Quietly, Ye Yuwei rested her head on his shoulder. She reached out to touch his face but her hand was pushed away. She looked at him and chuckled. Yes, the childish Gu Juexi was more appealing and lovable.
“Gu Juexi, you have to control your emotions whenever his name is mentioned. Freaking out will only affect your judgment. You have always been the rational one, haven’t you?” Ye Yuwei consoled. Her tone was gentle and motherly, the harshness earlier all gone.
Gu Juexi still ignored her. It was not easy to soothe a big baby.
“Still, you cannot deny what I say.” Ye Yuwei raised her hand again to touch his handsome face, a face so delicate even hers could not compare. She mused that God was being unfairly good to him.
“Ye Yuwei, I am your man. Why do you take another man’s side?” Gu Juexi complained childishly.
Another man?
Her has-been father-in-law?
He was jealous—it was absolutely adorable!
“You’re being so defensive about this is because you still care about him.”
“Ye Yuwei, before I crush you like an ant, get out!” Gu Juexi commanded furiously, bristling like an angry cat.
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes frustratedly and sat upright. “You know, you and your son have the same attitude. Luckily, that was the only thing he got from you and his good temperament is from me, otherwise he would be so annoying to deal with.”
“Ye Yuwei,” Gu Juexi growled in warning. What did she mean by that?
Ye Yuwei was in a tremendously good mood. Getting him agitated was her favorite thing to do because it made him more—human. He no longer had that numbingly cold expression and showed her so many emotions. It was less heartbreaking to see Gu Juexi like this.
Mother once told her: she could tell the whole world how much she loved Gu Juexi but she hadn’t even tried to understand his misery and past.
She saw it now, finally. She wanted to become a big part of his life. She wanted to love him all over again, seriously and wholeheartedly.
She would not just love his fame as she used to.
All she wanted to do was to love this man; his whole life, his good, his bad, all of it.
