Chapter 1689: Marry Me, Please? (Part Nineteen)

Mo Fei stood up and shook her hand in front of her face. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry, I still want to be alive.”
Ye Yuwei looked at Mo Fei suspiciously. She could not shake off the feeling that Mo Fei was planning something.
In the afternoon, snow started to fall on the mountain. Mrs. Ding had not returned.
Ye Yuwei was on the phone with Gu Juexi. Gu Juexi had just solved the issue of the retired soldier. However, his flight was delayed due to the heavy snow, so he was still waiting in the VIP lounge.
The two children were still with Grandma while Ye Yuwei was complaining to Gu Juexi in the room.
Gu Juexi looked down at the document in his hand. Ye Yuwei’s dissatisfied words tinged with grievance rang in his ears.
“Wait for me. I’ll deal with that brat,” Gu Juexi said, not hesitating to betray his own son in his efforts to comfort his wife.
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes internally. She got up and walked to the window to see Mo Fei outside.
“What are you doing?” Ye Yuwei opened the window and shouted. The moment she opened the window, the cold wind breezed in and hit her in the face.
Mo Fei turned to look at Ye Yuwei who called out to her on the second floor. “I’m going to check on why Mrs. Ding isn’t back yet. I’ll be back soon.” said Mo Fei as she waved her hand and left.
Ye Yuwei closed the window and continued talking to Gu Juexi. “I heard that today is Mrs. Ding’s daughter’s death anniversary cum birthday, but Mr. Ding is not here.”
“It’s normal,” Gu Juexi replied as he put the document away into his briefcase. He then informed PA Wen to come over to retrieve the document. However, when he exited the message interface, he saw a message.
“Where is Mo Fei?” Gu Juexi suddenly asked.
“She went to look for Mrs. Ding. Didn’t I just tell you?” said Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi suddenly stood up and placed a hand on his waist. “Watch over Xi Xi and Ye Xicheng closely. Don’t leave the homestay. I’ll be there as soon as possible.”
Ye Yuwei could hear the urgency in Gu Juexi’s voice. She paused. “Ye Cong is here?” Ye Yuwei said as she looked around. Even though she knew that Ye Cong would not appear in her room, she was still scared.
While Ye Yuwei was feeling nervous, she suddenly thought of something.
‘Yes, he’s still looking for me. So, it’s time.’
It was time. It was time!
Ye Yuwei seemed to have understood something. “What is Mo Fei trying to do?”
Gu Juexi strode out and asked Lu Qichuan to fly the helicopter over. He needed to rush over immediately.
“I’ll be there in two hours. Keep an eye on Xi Xi and Ye Xicheng. Don’t leave the homestay.”
“But Mo Fei—”
“I’ll be there soon,” Gu Yuexi said, ending the call.
As Ye Yuwei listened to the beeping sound on the phone, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She twisted her fingers on the phone. The uneasiness that she felt during the conversation with Mo Fei had exploded.
Mo Fei had gone up the mountain to look for Mrs. Ding. In the past, Mrs. Ding would have returned by now, but she had not returned today.
When Mo Fei left the homestay, she felt someone following her. Even though the person hid well, she still felt it.
Mo Fei was betting on whether Gu Juexi would be able to receive her message or whether he would be able to save her a second time.
She was gambling on whether she would die in front of Ye Cong. Only then would she be truly free. Only then would she not need the protection of that hypocrite.
There was only one path up the mountain. There was no one in the darkness. Mo Fei’s footsteps were very fast, and the person following behind her went at a steady pace.
When Mo Fei reached the mountain, the Venerable One was leading his disciples for a late class in the temple hall. Mrs. Ding was still kneeling in the middle of the hall, and the prayer beads in her hands slid beneath her hands one by one.
