Chapter 859: 859
The moonlight shone on the two of them, casting two long shadows on the ground .
One shadow in the front and one behind .
“Do you hate him?” Gu Juexi asked suddenly, breaking the silence .
Ye Yuwei was startled but answered, “Yes . ”
She didn’t need Gu Juexi to mention the name as she knew exactly who he was talking about .
Ye Yuwei took a few steps forward and sat on the stone by the river . “In the beginning, I hated him because he put you and your comrades in jeopardy . Back then, I felt that I couldn’t redeem myself even if I gave up my life for it . ”
Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei who was sitting on the stone .
“So, you decided to kill yourself,” said Gu Juexi distantly .
Ye Yuwei cupped her chin in her hands and chuckled . “Back then, Bai Yuyan told me that it was my father who took advantage of you and your team to defeat Cheng Jie and it resulted in your team’s wipeout . Do you know what was in my mind then, when I heard the news?”
As she was talking, she lifted her head to look at Gu Juexi . Her eyes were bright with a hint of amusement .
“I was thinking that they were so malicious . Surely they had never apologized for what they did, nor did they even have a sense of guilt . And I was certain that Bai Yuyan was, as a matter of fact, their daughter . ” As she reminisced, she realized how ridiculous she sounded .
“Later, they donned a marvelous honor on my abandonment; they called it ‘motherly love’,” Ye Yuwei said and let out a sudden laugh, “I couldn’t blame them, I owed that to you . ”
Gu Juexi remained standing . He looked at Ye Yuwei who was looking down and fiddling with the stones .

“What about now? It has been proven that your father had nothing to do with that incident, and your mother had distanced herself from all that . For you, all that is left from them is paternal love . You don’t owe me anything now . ”
Ye Yuwei threw the stone into the river . She hugged her knees while looking at the ripples in the water, as though the same rippling effect was in her heart .
“It is so ironically funny . Just when I thought the hatred, hostility, and resentment between us was finally over, there he was, resurfaced out of nowhere . ” Ye Yuwei rested her cheek on her arm and watched the ripples slowly subsiding . “I am starting to fear that he is a part of the other knot that is in your heart . ”
Gu Juexi clenched his fist tightly as he listened to Ye Yuwei .
Ye Yuwei stood up slowly . She turned around and stood in front of Gu Juexi . She reached out and caressed his delicate and handsome face .
“Gu Juexi, I am so scared . I fear that at the end of the day, you will still hate me . ”

Gu Juexi held up his hand to envelope Ye Yuwei’s . “No, I won’t . ”
He said so firmly, it made Ye Yuwei laugh .
She retracted her hand and wiped the tears in her eyes . “I’m just kidding . How can there be so many coincidences? Master asked you to go and eat, she said that your current condition is really bad . ”
Gu Juexi was astonished by the smile on Ye Yuwei’s face . He quietly cursed himself in his mind, how could he let himself get confused when things hadn’t even been clarified yet .
As for what Lu Qichuan found out, he would go to his mother to look for answers .
It was better to take the easiest way out than to continue stumbling for the truth .

Ye Yuwei tilted her head slightly and looked at Gu Juexi . “Sometimes, obsession can be a dangerous thing . The biggest obsession for Xicheng is that you had once abandoned us . You are the only one that can untie this knot in his heart . ”
He? Abandoned them?
Gu Juexi looked at her with a wicked smile . His eyes made her feel a little guilty .
“Ye Yuwei, do you not have any conscience?” Gu Juexi sneered .
