Gu Juexi was still standing by the river when Ye Yuwei found him.
Ye Yuwei walked over to Gu Juexi and stood behind him. Gu Juexi bent over to pick up a stone, and ripples expanded across the water when Gu Juexi threw it into the river.
“Do you want to dig into it even more?” asked Ye Yuwei as Gu Juexi picked up another stone. He gripped the stone tightly when he heard the question, and the sharp edges of the stone began to hurt his palm.
The question of whether he should continue looking into it was no longer relevant, because he had no choice but to continue looking into it.
“Mother told me about my father just now. I could tell that her feelings towards my father and my aunt were more to love and affection for siblings, so there must be more about the elopement,” said Ye Yuwei as she walked closer to Gu Juexi, looking at his pale face.
“Hmm,” Gu Juexi hummed and threw another stone into the river, then looked at Ye Yuwei. “So what are you going to do now?”
“Me?” Ye Yuwei asked with her eyes wide. She stared at Gu Juexi in confusion. He had been planning and leading this whole investigation, and all she did was listen to his instructions.
“If you were to do this, what would you do next?” Gu Juexi nodded and said with his hands on Ye Yuwei’s shoulders.
“Look for your father?” Ye Yuwei said whatever was on her mind.
“Let’s go then,” Gu Juexi said and let go of Ye Yuwei’s shoulders. He clapped the dirt off his palms and turned to leave.
Ye Yuwei was even more confused now.
“Where to?” Ye Yuwei felt that she still couldn’t keep up with Gu Juexi’s mind, even after all these years.
“Didn’t you suggest that we look for Gu Tianmu?” Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei and said seriously.
Ye Yuwei was speechless. The way she said it was interrogative, how could he not get it?
Ye Yuwei followed Gu Juexi. She could say that Gu Juexi did it on purpose so that she would take the blame if they couldn’t get anything informative from Gu Tianmu.
This man always wanted someone to take the blame.
Ye Yuwei didn’t know where Gu Tianmu was staying so Gu Juexi had to call him to find out that he was in a hotel in town.
“I think it might be best if I don’t go, you know how much your father hates me,” said Ye Yuwei after Gu Juexi ended the call with Gu Tianmu.
“Why not?” Gu Juexi stuffed Ye Yuwei into his car and then trapped her with his arm against the seat as he fastened the seat belt for her.
Ye Yuwei didn’t say a word.
They were so near to each other that Ye Yuwei’s heart began to pound.
“Good, maintain how you keep falling for your man anytime, anywhere,” said Gu Juexi and touched Ye Yuwei’s face gently before closing the car door and walking towards the driver’s seat.
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes silently. Wasn’t this man just vain?
Gu Juexi got to the driver’s seat and frowned as he started the car engine.
“Stop expecting so much. You should be grateful that someone lent you a car because you would have to walk there otherwise,” said Ye Yuwei quickly before Gu Juexi started complaining about the car.
Gu Juexi kept quiet. How did she know that he was going to complain?
“Has Xixi gotten up?” Gu Juexi asked and looked at the time as he drove.
“Don’t worry, Yuan Mo and Xicheng will look after her.” Ye Yuwei thought about how Ye Xicheng and Yuan Mo had mastered the skill of keeping Xixi happy, so she could be away and deal with something else.
