Chapter 755: 755
Gu Juexi frowned, still grieving over the news of Auntie Mao’s passing .
Ye Yuwei watched him, not saying anything . Finally, she turned to look at her son on the other side of the bed . She hopped over on one leg and sat down at the edge of the bed, then bent over to kiss her son’s forehead .
“Xicheng, it’s time to get up and go back,” Ye Yuwei whispered and gently stroked her son’s head .
Ye Xicheng squirmed . Having just woken up, he wasn’t fully conscious as he reached out to grip his mother’s blouse, not wanting to wake up just yet .
Ye Yuwei gently stroked his small frame and waited .
Ye Xicheng groaned and reluctantly opened his eyes . He instinctively moved towards Ye Yuwei and fell into her arms drowsily . “Mommy . ”
Ye Yuwei kissed his head . “Get up, Grandma is still waiting for both of you at home . Uncle Kim will be here shortly, it’s time for you to go back with him . ”
Ye Xicheng took a deep breath and nodded in response .
When Xixi woke up, she whined incessantly while Gu Juexi patiently coaxed her . By the time Ye Yuwei finished helping Ye Xicheng wash his face and change his clothes, the little girl was still whimpering in Gu Juexi’s arms .
Gu Juexi really could not bear to see his own daughter cry . Since he was still comforting his precious little girl, Ye Yuwei simply wasn’t inclined to bother with them . She helped her son put on his backpack and asked him to take good of his grandmother .
Ye Xicheng listened carefully to everything Ye Yuwei said and nodded in response .
When Butler Kim arrived, Xixi was still sobbing pitifully . Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes at her daughter . “Are you done crying?”
Xixi pouted and she sniffled . “No, I am not done crying . ”

Ye Yuwei stared at her daughter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry . She sat down on the bed and took her daughter from her husband’s arms . Ye Xicheng helped bring over his sister’s coat and passed it to Ye Yuwei, who helped her daughter put in on .
“Then go home and cry; cry to your brother . ” After helping her daughter put on her coat, Ye Yuwei wiped Xixi’s nose with a tissue and said, “Enough with the crocodile tears, my cunning little devil . Hurry and go back with Uncle Kim . ”
The cunning little devil was indignant; she wasn’t even done crying but was already being driven away by Mommy .
Ye Xicheng took hold of his sister’s hand and after bidding goodbye to Mommy, both of them left with Uncle Kim .
The cunning little devil glanced back with every step she took, still pouting as if she would cry at any moment . She had just woken up but was already being sent away by Mommy .
“We will only be a burden to Mommy by being here . When Mommy returns home, she will be able to accompany you every day,” Ye Xicheng comforted his sister .

Ye Yuwei listened to her son’s voice getting fainter and felt touched . Her son could always warm her heart .
After Ye Yuwei saw the two kids off, she turned to the man who still looked dejected .
“We shall make preparations for Auntie Mao’s funeral,” Gu Juexi said abruptly .
Ye Yuwei hesitated for a moment . “Now?”
“Yes, so that Auntie Mao will be able to rest in peace sooner . ” Gu Juexi’s voice was rough, suppressing the sorrow that he couldn’t express .
Ye Yuwei nodded . Silently, she sat down at the edge of the bed and reached out to pull him into her embrace .

No matter how strong Gu Juexi appeared to be, he was still a human being .
Gu Juexi rested his forehead on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and did not speak . Neither did Ye Yuwei . The ward descended into complete silence .
Sometimes, the existence of language was truly meaningless .
Silence was perhaps the best form of interaction .
His sorrow–he did not say, but she understood .
Her distress–she did not say, but he knew .
At that moment, language would only be bothersome .
