“Mom, actually—”
‘You know the name that Gu Tianmu paid billions to know, don’t you?
‘It was Ye Shu.’
Somehow, he couldn’t say the words.
“Go to rest, please. I know what I’m doing, and I know what I should do. No matter what happens, hurting her is the last thing I want to do,” Gu Juexi promised.
Wen Jie was relieved. She nodded and walked back to her room, accompanied by her son.
The sun had only begun to slip out to paint the sky bright but PA Wen was already wide awake. He prepared a simple breakfast and called the staff in the resort to inform them about the postponed opening ceremony.
He finished his breakfast in an orderly manner. Before he stepped out of the house, he scanned the spotless house thoroughly and found an odd spot in the tidiness. He went back inside to shift the position of a pillow on the clean sofa to another angle. Now it was perfect.
He really was a typical Virgo.
He grabbed the car keys and went out after that. Just as he drove his car out of the garage, he received a call from Gu Juexi. ‘I thought we made it clear that today is my holiday too,’ PA Wen thought in bewilderment.
“Hello, CEO—”
“Go to Feng County now and check if there’s anyone at Ye Shu’s old place,” ordered Gu Juexi.
‘Now?’
PA Wen took a deep breath, “Okay, I’ll head there now.”
PA Wen understood the reason Gu Juexi gave him this urgent order. He was the person Gu Juexi most trusted and therefore, he could not refuse. PA Wen booked a flight ticket as soon as the call ended. He estimated the time, bought breakfast and brought it to Xiao Yaojing’s house. Mr. Xiao had already woken up, and he was the one who opened the door for him.
“Good morning, Uncle. You are up so early, I am worried I’ll be a bother,” said PA Wen politely. He went inside after Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao observed him, pleased.
“Uncle, I am so sorry. I have a last-minute outstation trip to attend to and the flight is in an hour. I can’t take you and Aunt for lunch today. This breakfast is a small token of my regret but I promise I’ll take you and Aunt out to eat when I return.”
“Young man, work is more important. Go. Don’t worry.” Obviously, Mr. Xiao was appeased by PA Wen’s attitude and actions.
PA Wen apologized again and nodded lightly. Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Yaojing came out from her room. “Why are you here so early?”
“A trip to Feng County,” explained PA Wen. He narrowed his eyes at the woman who had casually walked out from her room in her skimpy nightwear.
“Aren’t you on holiday now? Gu Juexi is so tyrannical that he can’t leave you alone?” Xiao Yaojing scoffed, raising her eyebrows.
“It’s personal. I am going off now,” said PA Wen while opening the door.
“Eh, was he having an affair outside?” Xiao Yaojing exclaimed and leaned against the door, looking at PA Wen who was heading out.
PA Wen stumbled. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yaojing seriously. “That mouth of yours will get you in trouble one day.”
Xiao Yaojing snorted. Only after she saw PA Wen into the elevator did she go into the house.
“Xiao Wen has a very nice personality,” stated Mr. Xiao, subtly hinting his approval of PA Wen.
“Dad, you’ve only met him twice, how can you know if he’s nice?” Xiao Yaojing rolled her eyes. She had absolutely no idea what kind of ‘nice personality’ he had.
‘Wait, Feng County?’
Xiao Yaojing pondered the name. Why did it sound so familiar?
Although she couldn’t recall where she had heard it, she was pretty sure she had heard the name before.
