On the crest, there were two gold lines and a star insignia .
Ye Xicheng’s little hands held the crest and looked at the person inside .
“Xicheng, return it to Grandpa,” Gu Juexi said in a deep voice .
Ye Xicheng ran over to the officer . “Grandpa, here you go . ”
The old senior officer lowered his gaze to Ye Xicheng’s tiny face, smiled and squatted down . He placed his hands on Ye Xicheng’s small shoulders . “Do you know what this is?”
“Major general’s insignia,” Ye Xicheng answered earnestly .
The old senior officer laughed heartily . “Do you want it then? Grandpa will give it to you . ”
“Mummy said if I want something, I must earn it with my own strength and capabilities . I will not take this,” Ye Xicheng replied, “Grandpa, I will return this to you . ”
“This belongs to your dad, you keep it for him . ” The senior officer stroked Ye Xicheng’s head . “You keep it on your dad’s behalf . When you’re older, Grandpa will give one to you . ”
Ye Xicheng turned and looked at Gu Juexi who was lying on the bed before lowering his head and looked at the crest and raised his hands again . “He doesn’t want it . ”
The corners of Gu Juexi’s lips curved upwards . This was his son indeed .
“Brother, brother, give it to me, give it to me . ” Xixi loved shiny golden things and she reached out to take the crest .
Gu Juexi smacked his forehead . Ye Yuwei looked at the man behind her and smirked . This was his lover in his previous life, his darling in this life . This little girl could get him to do things that even she couldn’t get him to do .
“Xixi, don’t take it, Daddy will buy you another one,” Gu Juexi spoke hastily .
“I want it, I want it,” Xixi shrieked and gripped her brother’s arm in an attempt to take the crest . “Brother, please give it to me . ”
The senior officer stood up, smiled at the ruckus, then turned to look at Gu Juexi . He was determined to give the crest to him .
“I’m a handicapped person . You intend to waste those wages on a useless person like me?” Gu Juexi asked indifferently .
The senior officer’s expression changed slightly .
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze to Gu Juexi . Although Gu Juexi’s right hand could perform daily functions normally, it couldn’t return to its previous state . For Gu Juexi, it was as good as useless .
“Your contribution cannot be brushed aside . The organization is recommending your name regarding the Bai family’s matter . I know you have some objections regarding the army, but the credit belongs to you . Gu Juexi, your name has been recommended for a special award, whether or not you return to the army . ” The senior officer turned around and left .
During peaceful times, recommendations for second-ranked awards were difficult enough, what more a special award .
Gu Juexi furrowed his brows at the man who had just walked out of the room and turned to look at his daughter who was grinning from getting the crest . That darling of his could not be reprimanded or punished . No matter how he looked at her, she was truly adorable .
Butler Kim placed the food container on the table . He knew the temperament of his young master . “I haven’t dared bring up the thing that Mistress asked this morning . ”
“Thank you, Butler Kim,” Ye Yuwei said gratefully . “I will be able to return tomorrow . Did we have any visitors recently?”
“No,” Butler Kim sighed, “But Old Master Wen called a few times looking for Mistress, and from her expression, I think Old Master Wen wasn’t bringing good news . ”
As Butler Kim spoke, Gu Juexi embraced his daughter who had climbed onto the bed, his expression dark .
