Chapter 1273: CEO Gu, Could Your Words Be Any More Direct?

She should not get hurt by someone like him.

He wanted to see her smiling. Her smile was like a ray of sunlight in the dark, but he was scared that that sunlight would reveal his filthy self to her.

Thus, he could only hide from her.

He had no other choice.

Ye Yuwei wanted to find the answer as soon as possible because she knew if she could not discover the truth, her brother and Wen Shan’s relations.h.i.+p might really come to an end.

When Gu Juexi came to fetch Ye Yuwei in the evening, she told him about her concern.

Gu Juexi glanced at his wife while driving. “It’s been so many years, and now we have another Nalan Jing, so it’s impossible for us to solve this immediately. If both of them cannot handle it, then it means it isn’t true love. It’s better for them to take separate paths then.”

Ye Yuwei was speechless.

CEO Gu, could your words be any more direct?

Didn’t he know that there was a type of love that developed gradually? A love that grew with time?

Fine. This straightforward guy would definitely not admit it even if he understood.

By the time he figured out what love was, he had already fallen deeply. Hence, according to Gu Juexi’s knowledge, only a deep, loyal love could be considered affection in this world.

“Brother has feelings for Wen Shan, and that’s why he is scared to reveal his past to her. Do you understand?” Ye Yuwei explained to him angrily.

“I don’t know. Why would a girl fall for him?” Gu Juexi’s remarks were getting more blunt.

Ye Yuwei clenched her fists in annoyance. She was trying to suppress her anger and prevent herself from strangling him.

“How could you say something like that?” Ye Yuwei exclaimed furiously. “Don’t you have moments when you’re scared as well?” she asked him.

“Yes, I do. That’s why I did not let you out of my sight,” Gu Juexi declared arrogantly.

Ye Yuwei lost her words.

“So you refused to divorce me last time because you were scared?” Ye Yuwei managed to get his point.

Gu Juexi shot her a cold glare before picking up his ringing phone. Xixi and Xicheng had already been picked up by Wen Jie and Gu Tianmu so there was no need for them to go there anymore.

Gu Juexi tossed his phone aside and responded to Ye Yuwei’s question, “Don’t you think it’s a bit too late to ask this question after a hundred years?”

“A hundred years? Only you are the hundred-year-old monster here, I am not one,” Ye Yuwei denied and laughed out loud. It had only been six or seven years since the incident.

Gu Juexi glared at her again. “It is if you add up all the incidents. If that person is really Wen Lan, then she’ll make a move very soon. As long as she makes a move, we’ll have a new breakthrough for this case.”

Indeed, so many years had pa.s.sed and yet Gu Juexi had never seen Wen Lan before. It was understandable if he did not know the truth.

However, the email sent by Gu Juexi was a stepping stone. Now, they just had to wait and see whether that stepping stone could make the water ripple.

Since Gu Juexi had already given his word, Ye Yuwei knew she had better keep quiet. She was aware that the case needed time. Continuous probing would only rile Gu Juexi up.

The seafood festival was more happening and merrier than previous celebrations in the village.

Wen Shan had already hung up the lights that she bought with Nalan Chunbo from town earlier. Nalan Chunbo felt the lights looked childish, but Wen Shan liked them.

The villagers brought their own tables and stools and arranged them in two rows. There was a barbecue set near the entrance and a big wok for cooking. All of these were Wen Shan’s ideas which were supported by the villagers.

Wen Shan went to help the villagers cook the dishes. She wanted to learn a few authentic seafood porridge recipes from them.

Uncle He looked at Nalan Chunbo, who was helping him clean the seafood, and suddenly blurted out, “It’s such a rare opportunity to find a charming girl like her.”
