Ye Xicheng looked at his sister crying and felt pity and annoyance at the same time.
Ye Yuwei reached out to hold Xixi’s hands and tried to convince her. “Mommy will send you here first thing in the morning, how about that? Come on, uncle is waiting for us.”
“I don’t want uncle, I don’t want uncle, I want daddy…” Xixi yelled and began to struggle even harder to get out of Ye Yuwei’s arms.
Xixi had a bad temper like Gu Juexi, but she seldom found things unsatisfying and hardly threw tantrums for no reason. That being said, no one could convince Xixi when she wanted something.
Xixi was crying so hard that her breathing was ragged.
Gu Juexi couldn’t bear seeing Xixi cry and took her from Ye Yuwei’s arms. “Is your heart made of stone? Do you not care that your daughter is crying so hard?”
How could Ye Yuwei not care? She would have just carried Xixi in her arms and left if she really didn’t care.
But what right did Gu Juexi have to say that to her?
“So what if my heart is made of stone? Your entire body is made of stone,” Ye Yuwei snapped angrily as she held Ye Xicheng’s hand. “You are a good father, Mr. Gu. Take good care of her since you care so much about her,” said Ye Yuwei as she left holding Ye Xicheng’s hand.
Ye Xicheng stumbled as Ye Yuwei marched out and was immediately picked up by his mother on their way out.
“Mommy, mommy!” Xixi cried even more hysterically after Ye Yuwei left.
“Weiwei…” Wen Jie called out quickly as she kicked her son. “Can’t you talk nicely? She could have just taken Xixi and left if she didn’t care,” scolded Wen Jie as she went after Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi didn’t know what to say. He carried Xixi who was still crying and kissed her on her rosy cheeks. “Daddy promises that mommy will be back in no time, okay?” Gu Juexi comforted his daughter gently.
“I want both mommy and daddy, why can’t daddy and mommy stay together?” Xixi continued to cry loudly with her little hands sticking out.
Gu Juexi held his daughter tightly but didn’t go after Ye Yuwei.
“Mommy will be back for sure. And daddy promises Xixi that daddy won’t leave all of you ever again.” Worrying that crying too much would be bad for her throat, Gu Juexi continued to comfort Xixi patiently.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei who had stormed out of Gu Mansion tucked Ye Xicheng in the back seat and got inside the car. To her surprise, a large group of journalists approached right after she started her car engine. She tried to drive off but realized immediately that something was amiss – the car was slanting towards the right.
Ye Yuwei had been extra careful with her car now that she had children. She got out of her car and tried to check what was wrong.
“Are you the mysterious girlfriend of Mr. Gu?”
“Did you know that Mr. Gu had a wife who he loved with all his heart?”
Ye Yuwei couldn’t be bothered to listen to them. She focused on checking her car and was furious when she saw the punctured tyre. Feeling her rage boil, she began to take deep breaths with her hands on her waist to calm herself down.
