But things had escalated to this point. If he admitted it now, wouldn’t it be even more embarra.s.sing?

Did that woman have to keep standing there? Could she not just be cold about it and walk away?

At that moment, Ye Yuwei really did not intend to leave because she wanted to see how Gu Juexi planned on continuing this.

This was a Gu Juexi that she had never seen before. A Gu Juexi like this was no longer that unreachable G.o.dly person. In fact, he was more like a human being.

A childish human being.

This sort of childishness somehow made her feel secure, because the current him was someone she could reach.

“Am I really that bad?”

The sound of flowing water continued but Gu Juexi’s voice rang clear. His voice carried a slight hoa.r.s.eness from the alcohol.

Ye Yuwei who originally wanted to quietly watch his act was slightly startled, surprised by his calm and sober voice.

“I tried so hard to do my best in everything, I tried so hard to make everyone like me. But he doesn’t. He doesn’t come home either. Even when I left the US and came back to this country, he had no idea. From the start, I thought that he didn’t like children. Now it’s clear that he just didn’t like me.”

Ye Yuwei opened her mouth but did not know what to say to comfort him, to make his voice not sound so cold.

‘Gu Juexi, if it were possible, I wish I had known about this earlier. If it were that way, would you not turn out like how you were last time?’ Ye Yuwei thought.

“Maybe I’m just that irksome to others. Isn’t it the same for you?” Gu Juexi said, voice full of self-loathing.

Ye Yuwei’s eyes widened when she heard herself being mentioned.

She hated him because of how much of an a.s.shole he was to her in the past, but he was a different type of person from Gu Tianmu altogether.

Ye Yuwei watched Gu Juexi turn around. She looked at the heartbreaking grief in his eyes and protested, “Gu Juexi, you’re so much better than him. You’re even living better than him right now. Why do you need to take him to heart? He wasn’t there in your past, why does he need to be in your future?”

Ye Yuwei’s voice was loud from her building emotions.

Gu Juexi’s steps halted. He had already walked past Ye Yuwei, but then s.h.i.+fted himself to look straight at her. Ye Yuwei was also looking back at him.

“Gu Zhenjiang or even Gu Tianmu has nothing to do with you. You’re different from them. Gu Juexi, you are you.”

Ye Yuwei slowly walked towards Gu Juexi.

“Aren’t you haughty? Isn’t no one in your eyes? How important are they and what capabilities do they have for you be this way for them—”

“Only you.”

Before Ye Yuwei could finish, she was suddenly embraced tightly by Gu Juexi.

Ye Yuwei was stunned. The hand which she raised earlier remained in midair. She did not catch what Gu Juexi said.

Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei tightly and spoke softly into her ear, “Only you, Ye Yuwei. On this earth, only your hatred scares me.”

Gu Juexi’s voice went on beside Ye Yuwei’s ear. It was like he was emphasizing on it, yet he also sounded like a mumbling child. This made Ye Yuwei’s hand rest on his slouched back.

“Gu Juexi, you’re very good. You’re not like them. You really dote on Xicheng and Xixi. You’re a very good father. You’re Xixi’s most loved daddy and Xicheng’s most respected daddy. You’re their—Wu—”

Gu Juexi pressed Ye Yuwei against the bathroom door before she could finish speaking. The faint scent of alcohol landed on her lips.
