“I will bring ten of them,” Ma Zhong declared as Gu Juexi was leaving with Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi turned to look at his still-seated comrade and smiled slowly as he said, “alright then. I guess I will see you and the ten others next week.”
Gu Juexi then left with Ye Yuwei.
“Gu Juexi,” Ma Zhong called out suddenly while trying to get up from his stool with his crutches, “will you go back?”
“No, and it is not because of you,” Gu Juexi stopped and said without looking back.
Ma Zhong gripped his crutches tightly as he watched them leave.
“Brother…” Ma Mei looked at her brother in confusion and mumbled, “was he really your comrade?”
She used to think that retired soldiers were all like her brother, and never would have expected someone as great as Gu Juexi to be one of them.
“He might be the one that your brother owes the most in this whole world,” Ma Zhong admitted quietly as he watched Gu Juexi’s receding figure.
“Why didn’t you tell him about the medical benefits for his parents?” asked Ye Yuwei in bewilderment when they got into the car.
“It is part of the benefits given to the employees of Gu Enterprise. Why would I purposely bring it up?” Gu Juexi asked bluntly.
“Are you sure it was not because you were afraid of being turned down?” Ye Yuwei chuckled, and Gu Juexi knocked her head with his knuckles gently in reply.
“Aren’t you smart?” Gu Juexi asked, then reached out to flick Ye Yuwei’s forehead with his finger. Ye Yuwei dodged it and rested her head on his shoulder, sticking out her right hand. “Let’s get to know each other again. Nice to meet you, Mr. Gu, my name is Ye Yuwei.”
Gu Juexi lowered his head to look at his wife who was acting silly then stroked her hair. “Could you actually be an idiot? Is it too late to back out now?”
Ye Yuwei head-b.u.t.ted Gu Juexi’s forehead and Gu Juexi laughed even louder.
Gu Juexi continued to hold Ye Yuwei’s hand when the driver started the car. From now on, this woman would be there in every part of his life.
It starts now.
While Gu Juexi was cracking his head thinking of the perfect way to propose to Ye Yuwei, Wen Shan was stalking Nalan Chunbo carefully.
This was the fourth city that Wen Shan had followed Nalan Chunbo to. She had no idea where the place was, but was determined to explore the city at night. After all, she had to know the place well enough to pretend to b.u.mp into Nalan Chunbo by coincidence, and then continue to follow him by offering to be his tour guide.
Wen Shan followed Nalan Chunbo into a hotel and booked herself a room right after Nalan Chunbo did. She acted so suspiciously that the receptionist at the hotel almost called the police. She booked a hotel room right next to Nalan Chunbo’s and then made a phone call when she entered the lift.
“Can you transfer some money to my account, brother?” asked Wen Shan pitifully while leaning against the inside of the lift. She was so focused on her phone that she didn’t notice Nalan Chunbo was actually in the same lift.
Then again, Nalan Chunbo did enter the lift before Wen Shan, and it was reasonable for her to think that he had already gone to his room, not to mention that she was too depressed to notice anything at all.
“Aren’t you spending too much just going after the guy, Shan Shan?” asked PA Wen while transferring money to Wen Shan’s account.
“What else can I do? He only stays at five-star hotels. I can barely afford to eat nowadays. Can’t you lend some money to me first, Brother? I promise to pay you back later,” said Wen Shan pitifully without noticing the man behind her staring at her.
