Chapter 1687: Marry Me, Please? (Part Seventeen)

Ye Yuwei pressed her hands on her knees. She had thought that there would be a car coming up the mountain. She expected too much.

Now, both her arms had turned into jelly. She honestly thought that her daughter needed to lose some weight.

“I thought there would be cars going up the mountain.” Ye Yuwei wanted to cry, but no tears came out. When she came over, Gu Juexi had asked her to wait for him and that he would go with them once he was done with work. Yet, Ye Yuwei insisted that it was fine.

Now, she would have to suffer this alone.

Mo Fei smiled happily. Ye Yuwei held Ye Xicheng’s hand and followed after Mo Fei.

“How have you been?” Ye Yuwei asked as they walked.

“Buddha’s mercy had enlightened me.” Mo Fei turned around to look at Ye Yuwei and smiled somewhat elegantly.

Ye Yuwei paused and her heart skipped a beat. “Are you planning to be a nun? Do you have the academic qualifications for that?”

Ye Xicheng raised his head and looked at his mommy. He found the topic that his mommy brought up rather refres.h.i.+ng.

Mo Fei’s smile widened even more. She truly did not have this thing called academic qualification.

Mo Fei’s breath remained steady throughout the entire journey. She carried Xi Xi in one hand and their luggage with the other all the way to the homestay.

Ye Yuwei was at a loss for words. “…”

This disparity was a little hurtful to her ego.

Bai Ying was already waiting for them in the courtyard of the homestay. Although Ye Xicheng was not close to his grandmother, he still greeted her with a joyful tone, “Grandma.”

Bai Ying nodded her head slightly. Xi Xi knew how to seek attention the way young children would. She extended her small hands to her grandmother, asking for a hug.

Bai Ying reached out and lifted Xi Xi into her arms. “Why didn’t Gu Yuexi come with you?”

Ye Yuwei helped Ye Xicheng take off his down jacket as she explained, “Before we left, Gu Juexi’s old comrade had some problems. Gu Juexi went to handle some matters and will be here tomorrow or the day after.”

When the owner of the homestay saw Xi Xi and Ye Xicheng, he showered the two children with praises. He even prepared a lot of sweets for them.

When children were praised, the happiest people would be their parents. Therefore, Ye Yuwei remained in a good mood for the whole day.

Bai Ying had booked the room the day before their arrival, so she led the two children there.

Ye Yuwei put her arm around Mo Fei’s shoulders and went upstairs. “Tell me how you were enlightened by Buddha.”

Mo Fei peered at Ye Yuwei. “I suddenly realize how gossipy you are.”

“This isn’t gossiping. I’m just concerned about you,” Ye Yuwei said with a straight face.” You know Big Brother Qian—”

“Right, I forgot to ask you. How’s Xin Ya now? When I was injured, she was the one who took care of me. I haven’t contacted her since I came here.” Mo Fei suddenly interrupted Ye Yuwei.

Between the two people who took care of her, Mo Fei brought up only one.

Ye Yuwei paused and slowed down her footsteps as she looked at the girl who had hastily interrupted her.

Mo Fei’s gaze changed so fast that Ye Yuwei nearly missed the sorrow that flashed across her eyes.

Ye Yuwei felt as if someone had tugged at her heart. It was as though Mo Fei had descended from the heavens the first time she had appeared in front of Ye Yuwei. Although she did not have this face back then, at that time, she had looked down on the world with disdain. Yet now, there was a pain in her eyes.

Was it because of Qian Yikun?

Because Qian Yikun was about to get married?

Did that mean that she had fallen for him?

Ye Yuwei did not continue talking about Qian Yikun. She knew better than anyone else that if she continued the topic, she would be pa.s.sing a knife over Mo Fei’s heart.

“Xin Ya is doing very well. Gu Juexi has decided to let her play the female lead in a movie. This way, when the shooting’s done, Xin Ya will be able to earn quite a bit of money.”

Hearing Ye Yuwei’s words, Mo Fei felt much more relieved.
