“Alright, the rabbit is yours if you finish your medicine,” said Gu Juexi.
Ye Xicheng was holding a cup and gargling. What was so great about giving someone a rabbit?
But it looked like Xixi had taken her medicine, how annoying!
Gu Juexi used Xixi’s interest in the rabbit to make her finish her medicine and heaved a sigh of relief when she actually did.
“Sweets, Mommy,” said Xixi as she fanned her mouth with her little hand, as if trying to fan all bitterness away.
Ye Yuwei found it funny and annoying at the same time. Her anger at Ye Xixi was of no use at all because much like Gu Juexi, Xixi just didn’t feel anything when Ye Yuwei got angry.
Ye Yuwei took out some sweets and gave them to Ye Xicheng, who quickly removed the wrapper and put the sweet into his sister’s mouth.
His sister had all her attention on the rabbit now.
Gu Juexi turned to look at his wife silently when he thought about how many more sessions like this they had to face.
As a reward for finishing her medicine, Yuan Mo gave the rabbit to Xixi.
Xixi was very excited about getting a rabbit and wouldn’t stop talking to it.
Gu Juexi put down the bowl and walked to Ye Yuwei to massage her shoulders. “You were too uptight.”
How could she not be uptight? Xixi’s condition had been on and off for the past ten days. What if even Master Yao Lao couldn’t save her one day?
“Your dad was here, by the way,” said Ye Yuwei suddenly.
Gu Juexi’s face turned ashen. Ye Yuwei was not surprised; Gu Tianmu had always been a thorn in Gu Juexi’s side and he would never be able to face that man if he didn’t let go of his grudge against him.
“Why did he come?” asked Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei looked at the three children playing at the side and thought for a while before answering Gu Juexi. “I might have heard something I shouldn’t have.”
“Like what?”
“Your father said that he knows the guy who your mother eloped with, and he also knows that your mother…” Ye Yuwei pursed her lips halfway through the sentence and grabbed Gu Juexi’s wrist. “Can you promise not to be angry?”
But Gu Juexi’s face had already turned pale after he heard the word “elope”.
“What about my mother?” Gu Juexi suppressed his anger and asked.
Ye Yuwei looked at the children and got up from the sofa. “Can you take care of Xicheng and Xixi for me, Yuan Mo? I will be right back.”
“Sure,” said Yuan Mo.
Ye Yuwei led Gu Juexi out of the house. The summer sky was bright even after 6pm. Ye Yuwei took Gu Juexi all the way to the main road where only very few people were. She chose this place so that Gu Juexi could lash out without anyone looking at him like he was a freak.
Ye Yuwei let go of Gu Juexi’s wrist and took a deep breath. “I heard your father say that he knows that your mother only gave birth to his child to protect the man who she eloped with.” Ye Yuwei said carefully then looked at Gu Juexi, hoping that he wouldn’t flip out.
After all, this could be the reason why Gu Tianmu never liked him.
But Gu Juexi was calm. There were no emotions on his face, and it felt like the calm before the storm to Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi lifted his hand slightly and said, “Go on in. I will be back in a bit.”
Ye Yuwei opened her mouth slightly but eventually turned around and left. She turned to look at Gu Juexi when she reached the door and saw him punching the wall.
Ye Yuwei didn’t know if this was a good time to tell Gu Juexi about it, but she was sure that it would be much worse if Gu Juexi heard about it from Gu Tianmu himself. She was worried that Gu Juexi might not be able to accept it.
