Chapter 1132: The Cat-and-Mouse Show Was Better
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shopping was a great way to spend her abundance of free time, Ye Yuwei figured. It was just about time to buy some summer clothes for Gu Juexi and the children as well.
Ye Yuwei proposed the idea to Wen Jie, to which she didn’t object.
Hence, Ye Yuwei called the driver. Their shopping trip would take about two to three hours.
The mall was quite vacant on weekday afternoons, so they could take their own sweet time to shop. Ye Yuwei had managed to pick out two sets of clothes for each of her children, yet she spent a long time finding clothes for Gu Juexi as she couldn’t find items that were to her liking.
Ye Yuwei was getting frustrated until she saw a light-colored windbreaker. Considering most of Gu Juexi’s wardrobe was dark-colored, she figured that adding in a light color would be good. However, as she reached for it, someone moved faster than she did.
“Hey, I want to try this,” the woman said, her voice shrill and piercing.
Ye Yuwei raised her head to look at her. The woman looked slightly younger than her, though she dressed rather maturely.
Since the woman took the windbreaker, she had to look for another one.
“Qian Yikun, try this.”
Qian Yikun?
The name caught Ye Yuwei by surprise. She automatically looked back and saw Qian Yikun who was standing a distance away, impatience and frustration written across his face. He was still donning his police uniform, indicating that he had come from the police station.
Was the woman his girlfriend?
What about Mo Fei?
At the same time, Qian Yikun spotted Ye Yuwei and they exchanged glances. He pushed the woman aside and walked toward her. “Yuwei, such a coincidence.”
“Brother Qian, yes, such a coincidence.” Ye Yuwei nodded at him and smiled.
The woman dashed toward them. She linked arms with Qian Yikun and looked at Ye Yuwei alarmingly.
“Yikun, who’s this?” the woman asked in a flirtatious and kittenish voice.
Ye Yuwei was taken aback. She would rather see Mo Fei standing next to Qian Yikun.
“Girlfriend?” Ye Yuwei asked.
Just as Qian Yikun was about to speak, the woman interjected, “Yes, who are you?”
What a sardonic woman. Ye Yuwei felt Mo Fei was a much better match for Qian Yikun.
Qian Yikun flung the woman’s hand off his arm in irritation, with awkwardness written all over his face. “Are you alone? Is Mr. Gu not with you?”
“He’s at the office. It seems I’ll receive good news from Brother Qian soon,” Ye Yuwei said in a teasing tone and glanced at the woman again. She bet Qian Yikun wanted to strangle her now.
“Yes, his good news is around the corner. He’s almost forty soon, it’s about time for him to get married.” Mo Fei’s voice amplified from a distance away, her tone full of mockery and sarcasm.
Mo Fei?
Qian Yikun raised his head abruptly and quickly sprinted toward the direction of the voice in a swift motion.
Ye Yuwei looked back at the empty mall as if nothing happened. Sure enough, the cat-and-mouse show was better.
“Qian Yikun, Qian Yikun—” the woman cried out indignantly.
Ye Yuwei walked leisurely to the woman and said, “Miss, Brother Qian is just doing his official duty to catch a criminal. I hope you don’t mind. My mother-in-law is waiting for me, bye.”
The woman furiously looked towards the direction where Ye Yuwei left to and stomped her feet.
Wen Jie was looking at her phone when Ye Yuwei came up to her. She put away her phone and asked, “What was going on there? Have you bought any clothes?”
“No, I didn’t find anything that suits him. I’ll come with Gu Juexi next time,” Ye Yuwei said and helped Wen Jie stand. “I saw Brother Qian just now, so we talked for a while.”
Wen Jie nodded at her remark.
Holding Wen Jie’s hand to walk to the door, Ye Yuwei turned around and looked back all of a sudden in confusion. Wen Jie looked back too and asked, “What’s wrong?”
