Gu Juexi stroked his wife's head lovingly . He surveyed their surroundings again, estimating how long they would take to cross this forest to their next destination .
"I'm worried about Mom . Xixi and Xicheng too, do you think they're okay? We've been away for too long," Ye Yuwei muttered in dismay as she lowered her gaze .
Gu Juexi was more concerned about Gu Tianmu . He could see how seriously injured Gu Tianmu was despite only glancing at his injury .
"There will be people there once we cross this forest, we'll get in touch with them once we're there," Gu Juexi remarked and planted a kiss on her forehead .
"Gu Juexi, are you really not going back?" Ye Yuwei asked suddenly .
Gu Juexi could tell what she meant .
He sat next to her and leaned against a big tree . "Sometimes it's not up to me to make that call . "
Ye Yuwei tilted her head and gazed at him . "You've never forgotten any of these skills . Although you are very successful in the business sector, you mostly command while PA Wen executes all your plans . "
Gu Juexi played with the branches on the ground silently and ignored her .
"Whether it was the Bai family matters, or the Gu family, or Cheng Jie's, you're always getting involved and putting yourself on the frontline . You are behind the scenes doing business, but on the battlefield, you're always the first to charge to the frontline . Do you still not get it?"

Deep down, he loved the place and the status; his actions and agility said it all .
Gu Juexi continued fiddling with the branches . His head hung low, indicating his repulsion towards the question .
Ye Yuwei had said everything she could . She knew how much those people valued him, but the thing he could not relinquish was the gossip and the looks people gave him after the incident .
There were no other noises besides the sweet sounds of nature in the forest . It was such a rare and precious opportunity for them to sit down and talk heart-to-heart in this beautiful and serene place .
Despite the dangers lurking in every corner, they felt at ease and safe . Sometimes, natural disasters were simpler and more benevolent than man-made fiascos .

Gu Juexi looked up, rested his head against the tree trunk and said faintly, "That place is just a form of sustenance . Even if I can't go back, I'm still me . "
The soul of a soldier was far more important than the uniform .
"Ready to be called in for duty in national emergencies," Ye Yuwei muttered under her breath . It was the regulations and motto that every veteran adhered to .
Upon the remark, Gu Juexi stroked her hair and looked at her tenderly . "Which is why it's not necessary for me to wear the uniform to realize my dream . I won't go back; that is a fact, so you can stop lobbying for them . "
Ye Yuwei leaned on his shoulder . Nothing needed to be said as she already knew the answer .

Gu Juexi stretched out his arm to embrace her . He looked up at the sunshine penetrating through the leaves and suggested, "Are you hungry? I'll find something to eat . "
Looking at the trees, Ye Yuwei shook her head and said, "It's really beautiful here . It's a mysterious beauty that is filled with unknown dangers . "
There was no deception, no conspiracy; even the danger was straightforward and natural without any mind games .
"Do you want me to buy it for you?" Gu Juexi arched an eyebrow and asked in an intrigued tone .
Ye Yuwei was dumbstruck as the bossy CEO character appeared out of the blue .
