Ye Yuwei tossed her phone aside after complaining about Xiao Yaojing choosing dates over mates then rested her head on Gu Juexi’s chest.

“Did Aunt Gu get killed for lying?” asked Ye Yuwei when Gu Juexi looked at her.

“Do you remember what Aunt Gu did that day?” Gu Juexi wrapped an arm around Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and asked.

Ye Yuwei was hiding behind the curtain that day, and she had arrived there slightly earlier than Gu Juexi.

Aunt Gu was present throughout the incident, and all she did was say something and link the stories when they were stuck.

“Wen Lan used Aunt Gu, so Aunt Gu wanted her to die. We deduced the whole thing smoothly because Aunt Gu filled in some details to link the stories. Did she lie to get Wen Lan killed?” Ye Yuwei was just making a wild guess. She couldn’t tell what was right or wrong, but that was the only reason that she could think of, and the only reason that explained things.

Gu Juexi listened to Ye Yuwei while reaching out to switch off the lights.

“She deserved to be killed if that was the case,” said Gu Juexi emotionlessly.

Ye Yuwei lowered her eyes and kept quiet. All she wanted now was to find out the truth, because only then would her brother be able to face himself and everyone else.

At a small fis.h.i.+ng village in a town towards the south, there were fishermen who were sailing to or returning from the sea even at night.

Bai Ying lived in an isolated chalet some distance away from the fis.h.i.+ng village. When the fishermen couldn’t send their catches from the sea home, they left it in Bai Ying’s chalet. For that reason, Bai Ying had a rather harmonious relations.h.i.+p with the villagers.

Nalan Chunbo was standing at the balcony and looking at the fishermen pa.s.sing by. On the table were some seafood delicacies including slipper lobsters, crayfish, crabs and more from the villagers living nearby.

“Why did you resign all of a sudden?” Bai Ying, who was sitting facing the sea with a quilt on her legs, asked.

She had stopped following the news after the Bai Family collapsed and had no idea about what had happened recently.

“I got bored doing the same thing over and over again. Travelling around was nice, though I might trouble you by staying here for a little longer,” said Nalan Chunbo smilingly. His phone on the table was playing a video of Gu Juexi’s marriage proposal, but Bai Ying didn’t seem interested at all.

“Wei Wei sends her regards, Auntie. I can tell that she cares about you,” Nalan Chunbo said as he looked at Bai Ying.

“Gu Juexi being nice to her is all I can ask for,” Bai Ying replied softly. Her beautiful face was emotionless, and her eyes remained focused on the peaceful sea.

Nalan Chunbo kept quiet for a second before digging into the feast. He grabbed one of the crabs and started sh.e.l.ling it. “This place seems nice. I would love to live with you here.”

“To run away from a debt of love?” Bai Ying finally looked away from the sea and asked while looking at Nalan Chunbo who was eating a crab.

“Let’s not go into that, Auntie,” Nalan Chunbo laughed and said, “why would I have any debt of love? I am just tired and want to live a quiet life with you here.”

“It sure sounds like it was because of a woman,” said Bai Ying bluntly.

Nalan Chunbo blinked at her, speechless.

It wasn’t because of Wen Shan, but if he hadn’t left, he might have ended up actually falling for her.

She was like a beam of light that made him want to get closer and closer.

But that light was only going to put all his scars on display, and he didn’t want that to happen.
