Ye Yuwei finally wore her coat with Gu Juexi’s help.

“Bear in mind, Weiwei: My life depends on you now. It depends on you whether we end up fighting or grieving.”

“I don’t want to do this, Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei whimpered, clinging to Gu Juexi’s arm. She knew that the people from the Bai family would not let Gu Juexi off the hook if the Bai family’s bases were all destroyed and she wasn’t at the fortress.

It was Gu Juexi alone against thousands from the Bai family.

Gu Juexi kissed her tears away and embraced her. “I owe you a wedding ceremony, Weiwei, I won’t let anything happen to me,” Gu Juexi chuckled and added, “and my son said he would wait for me to come back.”

Ye Yuwei genuinely hated Gu Juexi’s plan and her entire body was shaking in fear.

“You don’t have much time left, go look for Bai Ying.”

Ye Yuwei clenched her phone tightly as she looked at Gu Juexi getting up and knew that this was not the time for her to be willful.

As Gu Juexi’s wife, she didn’t have the right to be willful.

Ye Yuwei got up too and hugged Gu Juexi suddenly. “Promise me that you will stay safe. I will never forgive you if you don’t keep this promise,” said Ye Yuwei through clenched teeth before she let go of Gu Juexi and was about to go to Bai Ying’s room.

“Weiwei,” Gu Juexi called out suddenly and walked quickly towards Ye Yuwei, and as she turned, he kissed her.

Ye Yuwei did not reject the kiss this time and wrapped her arms around Gu Juexi’s neck to kiss him back pa.s.sionately.

Ye Yuwei’s tears had stained her cheeks by the time the kiss ended.

“I will always owe you this, Weiwei. I…”

“Don’t say it now,” Ye Yuwei covered Gu Juexi’s mouth with her hand and said hoa.r.s.ely, “say it when you come home safely.”

She would wait for him. She would wait for him to come back and tell her what she had always wanted to hear.

Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s hands and looked at her smilingly. This was the woman that he had fallen for—soft on the outside and tough on the inside.

Ye Yuwei took a deep breath and forced herself to let go of Gu Juexi as she said, “it really is quite tiring to be taking care of two children on my own, Gu Juexi.”

“I know,” Gu Juexi said softly, reaching out to caress Ye Yuwei’s cheek. He understood what Ye Yuwei was trying to say but he couldn’t make any promises.

Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s hand tightly. She never thought that she would have to experience the feeling of being a soldier’s wife.

Ye Yuwei let go of Gu Juexi before he reminded her that time was ticking and entered Bai Ying’s room.

Gu Juexi’s hand was left hanging mid-air. He clenched his fists as he watched the door close behind Ye Yuwei and left Bai Ying’s fortress.

Ye Yuwei leaned against the door and listened to Gu Juexi’s footsteps fading. She wiped her tears away, took a deep breath and looked at Bai Ying who was standing by the window.

“How do I leave the Bai family’s fortress?” asked Ye Yuwei straightforwardly.

Bai Ying was looking at the moon from the window. She did not turn back to look at Ye Yuwei when she heard her, but asked, “Are you sure you are willing to do this for Gu Juexi?”

“I asked you how to leave the Bai family’s fortress,” repeated Ye Yuwei quickly.

“n.o.body knows what was at the other end of the underpa.s.s. Two of my maids took you to the underpa.s.s back then but only one of them lived,” Bai Ying turned back to look at Ye Yuwei as she asked, “Do you still want to know where the underpa.s.s is, knowing this?”
