The car went all the way to the foot of the hill but had to stop there. The villagers told them to follow the road that led to the village, and that the person they were looking for was an eccentric, grumpy old man. Many came to see him but many had to leave untreated.
“It’s rumored that Master Yao Lao 1 refused to treat certain patients because he could tell by just looking at them that they were beyond cure. In other words, the ones who left untreated were all beyond cure. Good luck.”
Gu Juexi’s face turned pale at what the villagers said and quickly followed the road with Xixi in his arms.
Ye Yuwei thanked the villagers and followed Gu Juexi together with their son.
Xixi rested her head on Gu Juexi’s shoulder and looked at her mother and brother following behind. “Mommy, is Xixi beyond cure too?”
“Shush, don’t say things like that,” said Ye Yuwei quickly after sensing her daughter’s disappointment.
It was a rather steep hill and Ye Xicheng was already exhausted after one third of their journey. Being the proud child he was, Ye Xicheng did not say a word until Gu Juexi noticed and carried him too.
Ye Yuwei watched Gu Juexi climbing the hill without getting winded and had to admit that his reputation for being the best soldier in their camp was well-deserved.
“You okay?” Gu Juexi asked, one child in each arm as he looked at Ye Yuwei panting disdainfully.
Why was it so hard to expect something nice from this man?
“Just be single forever, Gu Juexi. I am serious,” gasped Ye Yuwei who then took a deep breath and resumed climbing.
“Ye Yuwei.” Gu Juexi’s face turned sullen.
“Walk faster, Mr. Gu. We want to leave before it gets dark, don’t we?” Ye Yuwei said with a fake smile on her face, which made Gu Juexi’s face even gloomier.
Ye Xicheng looked the old meatball smilingly while teasing his little sister. He loved seeing the old meatball become speechless because of his mommy.
Ye Yuwei was exhausted when the group finally reached the village and Gu Juexi looked at her scornfully for the second time. Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes at him, and began to look around to ask about Master Yao Lao. She couldn’t expect Gu Juexi to do that because she knew that he would rather die.
Thinking of it, Ye Yuwei stopped walking and looked at the man who had put down his son and carried only his daughter in his arms. “Gu Juexi, ask someone where Master Yao Lao stays.”
“Why can’t you ask?” Gu Juexi stared at Ye Yuwei with obvious reluctance.
“It’s for your daughter, are you so reluctant to do even this one small thing for her?” Ye Yuwei asked as she stood in front of Gu Juexi, staring at him.
Gu Juexi found himself speechless when he tried to argue with Ye Yuwei. All he could do was stare at Ye Yuwei—the woman who made him do things on purpose.
Ye Xicheng stood beside his mother and looked at Gu Juexi smilingly.
Gu Juexi was so used to having PA Wen for almost everything, especially when it came to interactions with people. In other words, Gu Juexi was as an extremely antisocial person, and Ye Yuwei knew that very well.
She knew everything about Gu Juexi, so why shouldn’t she use that to her advantage?
“Enough is enough, Ye Yuwei,” Gu Juexi warned, getting p.i.s.sed off at Ye Yuwei as she stared at him with a fake smile on her face.
Xixi blinked and wrapped her arms around her father’s neck. “Xixi can ask, Xixi knows how to.”
