When Ye Yuwei reached the lobby, she pa.s.sed the room card to the counter before adding, “Have someone clean up CEO Qian’s room later.”
“Yes, Director Nalan.” The receptionist bowed politely and stared at the receding figures of Ye Yuwei and Lu Qichuan.
“We’re all women, but look at her.” The receptionist sighed.
“Yeah, she’s treasured by our CEO Qian and she’s CEO Gu’s darling. Even Lawyer Lu was rumored to have fallen out with CEO Gu over her,” another front desk lady added. “We’d better get back to our work. We are not blessed with such fortune.”
After Ye Yuwei and Lu Qichuan left Qian Feng Hotel, Lu Qichuan leaned against the car and looked at Ye Yuwei. “You’ve really decided?”
“The matter can be solved by you, there’s no need for me here.” Ye Yuwei leaned on the side of the car, waiting for Bai Yuyan to escape.
“Gu wouldn’t like the decision you’ve made.” Lu Qichuan frowned.
Ye Yuwei nodded. She knew Gu Juexi wouldn’t like the decision she had made. Six years ago, he didn’t like it when she was involved in the Cheng Jie affair either.
But Ye Yuwei knew that even if he disapproved, she would still do it. After all, she didn’t want to sit back and wait for something with a slim chance to happen.
Besides, this was related to her.
“Brother Lu, no matter what, Sichen needs a mother. How are things between you and her mom?” Ye Yuwei asked something that she had been curious about.
Lu Qichuan raised his brows. “There’s nothing to talk about. I’m not what she wanted, and she’s not what I wanted. She wanted freedom. Having Sichen is enough for me.”
Hearing Lu Qichuan’s words, Ye Yuwei felt that perhaps Lu Qichuan was not what everybody thought, seemingly with no feelings for Sichen’s mother.
Otherwise, why would the child be named Sichen?
“No woman would want freedom for no reason. Brother Lu, if you put in effort, I feel –”
“Wei wei, sometimes effort can only be invested once. To acc.u.mulate the effort to be invested again requires a long, long time,” Lu Qichuan interrupted Ye Yuwei.
Hearing Lu Qichuan’s explanation, Ye Yuwei suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
What else could Ye Yuwei say?
“Weiwei, I’ve been wanting to ask you a question,” Lu Qichuan murmured.
Ye Yuwei raised her head and look at Lu Qichuan. “Why the need to ask when Brother Lu already knows the answer?” Ye Yuwei replied bluntly. She didn’t want to face the question that was coming.
Lu Qichuan’s hand stopped midway. He put his hand down and laughed. “You’re right. Since the answer is already known, there is no need to ask.” Lu Qichuan did not pursue the answer to the question.
Ye Yuwei stared blankly. She was antic.i.p.ating the time, unsure whether Bai Yuyan had made her escape.
“If this time we fail to defeat Bai family, you might end up as the second Bai Ying; being held captive for life,” Lu Qichuan reminded.
Ye Yuwei laughed. If she was truly afraid, she wouldn’t have gone through with the plan today.
“I’m curious to know what the person would do if Gu Juexi fails this time.” Ye Yuwei sounded intrigued, seemingly talking to herself.
