Chapter 1609: Something Bad Was About To Happen

Ye Yuwei retrieved the first-aid kit and approached Nalan Chunbo, helping him to put some medicine on his wound.

“Wen Shan still cares about you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called me. She even emphasized that you should remember to eat,” Ye Yuwei said with a smile. “So, you should give her more time.”

“I know.” Nalan Chunbo looked down at his wrist that getting bandaged. He was not surprised by Wen Shan’s reaction. She had already made it very obvious in the car.

On this eleven-eleven Singles’ Day, Nalan Chunbo was left at Gu Mansion because Xi Xi said that she missed her uncle. Furthermore, their house was empty anyway, and he was used to having Wen Shan at home.

Therefore, Nalan Chunbo did not refuse to stay.

After coaxing her daughter to sleep, Ye Yuwei went to the kids’ room to take a look at Ye Xicheng, who was already asleep. Her son was so obedient she never had to worry about him. If she did not have her daughter, she might not be able to experience what it truly felt like to be a mother.

Ye Yuwei went out to find Nalan Chunbo still awake. He sat in the living room on the second floor in a daze.

Ye Yuwei sat across him. “I’ve always thought of my brother as a banished immortal; that there isn’t a single woman in this world who can touch your heart.”

Nalan Chunbo turned around. Similarly, Nalan Chunbo leaned against the sofa as he looked at Ye Yuwei across him. “So, are you disappointed?”

Ye Yuwei shook her head. “I’m glad.”

Ye Yuwei spoke in a serious tone, but Nalan Chunbo laughed. “In the past, I never understood why a man like Gu Juexi would be willing to change for a woman.”

“Can I think of that as my brother landing a personal blow on me?” Ye Yuwei retorted. This brother of hers was really not adorable, at all.

Nalan Chunbo laughed softly. “The truth is, no one could’ve imagined what kind of woman a man like Gu Juexi would fall in love with. Not even yourself…”

There seemed to be no way to refute that.

“So, if a relations.h.i.+p can be explained clearly, then it’s not a relations.h.i.+p. You don’t need a reason to fall in love with someone.” Nalan Chunbo was still unable to figure out what exactly it was about Wen Shan that he had fallen in love with.

However, he knew she was the one.

Ye Yuwei stood up and took a few steps before turning to look at Nalan Chunbo. “But I still think he chose me because I’m worth it.”

After saying that, Ye Yuwei turned around and left. Nalan Chunbo reached out to pinch his forehead. He did not deny that, did he?

Ye Yuwei returned to the bedroom. As a young lady, Xi Xi definitely slept more unrestrainedly than her brother. The blanket that Ye Yuwei covered Xi Xi with before she left had already gotten kicked away, and half of Xi Xi’s body was now in a different direction.

Ye Yuwei sat by the bed and straightened her daughter’s small body. Then, she pulled the blanket over her and tucked her in. However, before she could get up, someone had already wrapped a pair of arms around her.

A familiar smell enshrouded her. She did not scream; she was not afraid. There was even a sense of calmness that even she found rather strange.

“Your calmness makes me think that you don’t really want me to come back.” Gu Juexi had already finished showering and he came straight in through the window.

However, Mr. Gu was quite unhappy at the moment because his wife’s reaction was not what he wanted.

Gu Juexi turned Ye Yuwei around to his side only to see Ye Yuwei’s expressionless face.

“…” Gu Juexi did not say anything.

He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

“What’s wrong? ” Gu Juexi asked uneasily. When he saw his daughter in their room, he knew instantly that the kid was not feeling well. However, after checking and knowing that she had a normal temperature, Gu Juexi felt relieved enough to go for a shower. However, when he came out, he sensed that something was not quite right.
