Often?

Her son’s remark had caught her unawares!

“Mommy, please don’t lie, I’ve seen it many times,” Ye Xicheng said stubbornly.

Her face turned an even darker shade of red.

“One day, when you grow up and meet someone you like, you’ll understand.” There was no other explanation that she could give but this.

She put two bowls of medication on the tray and said, “Be a dear and pick up that name card on the floor and put it in my pocket.”

Ye Xicheng bent over swiftly to pick up the name card and shoved it into his mother’s pocket. “Mommy, let me help you with the tray.”

“It’s ok, my dear, I can do it myself. Go to the front and see if Grandma and Granny Yao need any a.s.sistance, would you?” Ye Yuwei took the tray and lowered her gaze to her son who was looking back at her enthusiastically.

Although a little disappointed, Ye Xicheng nodded and went to look for his grandmother.

Ye Yuwei entered their room with the tray in her hands. Both father and daughter bore the same terrified expression on their faces upon her appearance.

Ye Yuwei put down the tray and placed the two bowls of medication on the table.

Witnessing the process, Xixi and Gu Juexi looked at each other pitifully. This moment was the most bitter one in their lives.

“Since none of you have ever succeeded in resisting, why don’t you start picking your companion now? Do you want your rabbit or your pet rat?” asked Ye Yuwei in a rather threatening tone while searching for her ‘toys’ at the corner of the room—the little pet farm that Gu Juexi set up for the animals he forbade to wander inside the room.

“The little hedgehog,” pouted Xixi who had given up struggling.

Ye Yuwei frowned at her request, looked around her little pet farm and eventually found it. Yuan Mo was truly a genius, where had he got the hedgehog for her?

Ye Yuwei picked the cage up and put it beside her legs.

Gu Juexi had already drunk his big bowl of medicine in one shot. He took a deep breath with his hand on his waist and complained, “You and Yao Lao must be partners in crime in making me take this, I’m totally fine now!”

“Like it or not, I think you are fully aware of your own condition,” Ye Yuwei smirked. She let Xixi sit on her lap and held the bowl up. “A few more days of this, my dear, I promise you. A few more days and we don’t have to take such bitter medication anymore.”

Xixi pouted her lips in dismay, her delicate face crumpling.

Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to the hedgehog on the floor, “Where did that kid get all of this from?”

“At least he can bring something over, what about you?” Ye Yuwei grumbled. Gu Juexi pa.s.sed her a tissue to wipe the spilled medicine on Xixi’s face. “Since Xixi’s condition has improved and stabilized, I think it’s better for you to head back to B City now. You’ve been away for too long; first the Bai family issue, and now my aunt’s issue. If you continue to be absent, G.o.d knows how many of them will be waiting in the dark to attack you.”

Gu Juexi held his daughter’s hands, heartbroken to see her in misery. “I can take a break for a moment, it’s nothing urgent.”

“Nothing urgent? Your company is falling apart!” Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi, astounded.

Gu Juexi ignored her and wiped his daughter’s mouth. “Have you heard about Bo Jue Heavy Industry?”

Ye Yuwei shook her head and patted her daughter’s back when she choked on the medicine. “I’ve never heard anything about them before.”

Gu Juexi nodded. “What is it about them that they have to come out with some sort of enterprise or company to take me down? I’m flattered, really!”

Ye Yuwei fought the urge to roll her eyes.

‘You’re a big shot, you can’t be taken down with an ordinary scale attack,’ Ye Yuwei thought in a backhanded compliment.

“They can afford to tender big projects in B City. For a company this big, it is impossible to have been established in such a short time if they don’t have a ma.s.sive capital to begin with,” Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi and said in a rather suspicious tone.

“Maybe he has a bank in his pocket,” Gu Juexi pondered. He pa.s.sed the bottle of milk to his daughter who had finally finished her medicine and put her on the floor so she could play with the hedgehog.

Ye Yuwei was concerned listening to Gu Juexi’s comment. “You’re suspecting my brother.”
