Ye Yuwei sat at Gu Juexi’s side and placed her hand on his forehead again. It was still scorching hot. Gu Juexi was not talking so Ye Yuwei did not ask. It was not something she could simply question.
“After you’re discharged, I’ll take Xixi to visit Master Yao Lao.” Ye Yuwei changed the subject entirely, having no interest in asking him about the discussion.
Gu Juexi reacted but his expression wasn’t particularly friendly.
The captain definitely went and visited Chu Ningyi today. He probably gave him a scolding too before he came here to chastise Gu Juexi. She could only say that Chu Ningyi was not that good at doing his business.
“Yeah, bring Mom along with you,” Gu Juexi answered heavily.
Ye Yuwei hesitated; she knew he was suspecting something when she heard him mutter quietly.
“What did that old geezer say to you?” Gu Juexi calmed himself and tilted his head back to stare at Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei thought for a while and answered truthfully, “He asked if my father was still alive and talked about North Chu South Gu.”
“Chu Ningyi?”
Ye Yuwei nodded. “What kind of person is Chu Ningyi?”
“A City has two Chus: One is Chu Ningyi and the other is Chu Lingfeng. You’ve heard of both of them.” Gu Juexi had no intention of hiding the information. He just said what he knew, seeing as Ye Yuwei wanted to know.
Ye Yuwei did know about those two since they were both geniuses in the business industry. They had a presence that could rival Gu Juexi’s.
“Chu Ningyi retired from the forces years ago. Rumors are that he’s divorced, but who knows,” Gu Juexi said daintily.
“Rich people like you do love to play divorce games,” Ye Yuwei huffed.
Gu Juexi let out a cold chuckle. He was not the same as Chu Ningyi. Both of them had children, but what about Chu Ningyi?
Not at all!
He did not want to have anything to do with Chu Ningyi but reality never seemed to work that way.
Nothing had changed after the captain visited. Ye Yuwei did not know what he said but she did not even want to know. Ye Yuwei was only thinking about Xiao Yaojing’s matter, which was why she told him that she would meet Xiao Yaojing after lunch.
“Ye Yuwei, don’t you feel guilty for leaving me alone?” Gu Juexi asked disapprovingly.
Ye Yuwei chuckled and continued to pack her stuff. “Definitely not, just stay here on your own.” When she finished packing, she faced Gu Juexi who was scowling. “Your daughter will arrive shortly, don’t you adore your daughter? Let her stay with you then.”
As soon as he thought about his daughter, his face brightened.
Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes at him, her expression immediately changing. She grabbed her handbag and hurled it at Gu Juexi. It landed on his bed, missing him. “Go and live your destined lonesome life with your daughter.”
Gu Juexi raised his eyebrows and stared at the woman who had just turned her back on him and left. So what if he favored his daughter? At least in his daughter’s heart, her father would always be the only one. In that woman’s heart, it was like everyone else was more important than him.
It made him so mad!
Back then, Gu Juexi was the only one in Ye Yuwei’s heart but now, it seemed like they would never go back to that time ever again. Gu Juexi stared at his slender fingers, then slowly clasped them together. “Ye Yuwei, you will never know how much I feared losing you again.”
‘It was a fear so great I questioned everything I knew.’
