Ye Yuwei turned and looked at the man sitting on the bed. “What does this incident have to do with him?”

Gu Juexi raised his head upon hearing Ye Yuwei’s words. “You still lack understanding of your son.” Gu Juexi sighed as he shut his laptop loudly. Ye Xicheng shuddered at Gu Juexi’s sudden movement.

Ye Yuwei turned around and looked at Ye Xicheng.

Gu Juexi stood up and walked over to Ye Xicheng, placing his hands on Ye Xicheng’s shoulders. “As my son you should do things openly. A different outcome of your expectations should not be an excuse for your actions. You can’t say it wasn’t intentional when the results are different.”

Ye Xicheng’s body tensed and his hands clenched into fists. His hatred for Gu Juexi remained, but he couldn’t deny that Gu Juexi was teaching him something his mummy couldn’t.

Gu Juexi had stated it clearly. It was impossible for Ye Yuwei to not understand.

“Gu Juexi, he is still a child.”

“Ye Yuwei, you will ruin him one day with those words.” Gu Juexi straightened himself and looked at Ye Yuwei. “All his wrongdoings should be forgiven just because he is a child?”

Gu Juexi’s words were sharp and piercing. This was the first time he had spoken to her this way since Ye Yuwei’s return.

Gu Juexi’s sharpness had made an appearance during their disagreement on their child’s upbringing.

Gu Juexi lowered his head and looked at his trembling son. He would be lying if he said his heart didn’t ache for him. This was his biological son after all.

“You can decide whether you want to continue standing or become your mommy’s boy.” Gu Juexi turned and left the room.

“Gu—” Ye Yuwei gritted her teeth. After Gu Juexi left, she looked at her son.

“Mummy, it is my fault. I didn’t like him so I didn’t tell him he could trip, but I really didn’t expect he would be injured so badly because I fell too and didn’t get injured. I didn’t know he would sprain his ankle.” Tears trickled down Ye Xicheng’s face.

“Why didn’t you explain it to Daddy?” Ye Yuwei asked softly.

“Because it really was my fault,” Ye Xicheng whispered.

Ye Yuwei felt sad, unsure if it was because of her son’s mature thinking or because of Gu Juexi’s strict teaching.

He had stumbled and wasn’t hurt so he didn’t tell Yuan Mo since he thought letting Yuan Mo trip wouldn’t be so bad.

Ye Yuwei stroked her son’s head gently and didn’t know what to say.

“But you should have told Daddy. You made a mistake in comparing yourself to him. You didn’t do it on purpose.” Ye Yuwei squatted next to her son.

Ye Xicheng was silent even though his legs were hurting from standing too long.

Ye Yuwei carried Ye Xicheng and placed him on the bed but he jumped off immediately and stood beside the wall.

Ye Yuwei looked at Ye Xicheng and could only sigh as she turned to leave the room.

Meanwhile, Gu Juexi was leisurely sipping tea at the round table outside.

“Gu Juexi, he is your biological son.” Ye Yuwei grabbed the cup in Gu Juexi’s hand, showing her displeasure.

Gu Juexi raised his head and looked at Ye Yuwei. “I wouldn’t be bothered if he was someone else’s son.”

Ye Yuwei was stunned by his comeback. Gu Juexi retrieved his cup from Ye Yuwei. “Certain things have to be taught while he is young. It will be harder to teach him when he is older.”
