The moonlight had painted the night bright with a hint of cold in the wind .
Ye Yuwei sat on the stairs and rested her head on Gu Juexi’s shoulder . “In the earlier days, you were scared that you would harm me when you lost control . That’s why you drove me away from you, wasn’t it?”
Gu Juexi remained silent .
“Your mother eloped with my father, that’s why Gu Tianmu neglected you . It all happened because of my father,” Ye Yuwei uttered softly .
Gu Juexi remained silent .
When he first learned about the incident, he thought about rage, he thought about cutting ties with Ye Yuwei, he even thought about shifting his hatred onto Ye Yuwei .
He would have pushed her completely out of his sight if he did not experience the six years of despair and misery .
Six years . The kind of despair that made you lose all hope to live and kicked you when you fell . The kind of despair that no one would understand unless they experienced it first-hand .
He could not go through the despair of losing Ye Yuwei for the second time, so the only thing that he could do was let her go .
“You are too sensitive, you would tell the world that I bullied you if I said something harsh . Your heart is so fragile it’s like it’s made of glass,” Gu Juexi sighed, enduring the pinching pain on his shoulder .
She turned her head so that her forehead was on his shoulder and pulled his sleeve to wipe away her tears . “You don’t sound like a bossy CEO right now,” said Ye Yuwei in a hoarse tone .
“What is a bossy CEO? Do I have to blame it all on you and hurt you until there isn’t one piece of skin left whole? Is that what you mean by being a bossy CEO?” Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to Ye Yuwei and reached out to hold her hand . “I can’t say it’s not possible if those six years never happened . But it did, and if I still behave so childishly after that, that’s not being a bossy CEO— that’s pure stupidity . ”
Ye Yuwei agreed . It was still acceptable to be with a man who had learned from his mistakes and was willing to mend things; the most horrifying kind of men were the ones with a short memory .
“I think the best thing that we can do now is to let your parents confront each other . ” Ye Yuwei sat upright and looked at Gu Juexi .
“Mom wouldn’t have waited until today if she intended to talk things out . I think it’s better if we contact Nalan Chunbo first, he must have known something about this matter,” Gu Juexi said .
“But—” Gu Juexi reached over to hold Ye Yuwei’s hands . “We have to make a consensus between us before we proceed . ”
Ye Yuwei was confused .
“Number one: regarding this matter, our objectives are to investigate and clear things, it is not for us to turn into enemies . So no matter what happens, we cannot go off the rails and have a fallout . ”
Ye Yuwei pondered, “Sometimes, we can’t control the emotions . ”
Gu Juexi suggested, “When you think it’s out of your hands, take time for yourself . That’s what I do and it works . ”
Ye Yuwei acknowledged his suggestion with a nod .
“Number two: no matter what happens, we have to trust each other wholeheartedly . When we hear something from someone else, we discuss it and decide its credibility . ”
Ye Yuwei nodded despite feeling skeptical .
“Number three, and also the most important: please don’t run away and vanish no matter how difficult things have become,” said Gu Juexi in a serious tone . He could not bear the emotional distraught ever again .
Upon hearing the remark, Ye Yuwei felt like her heart was being squeezed painfully .
“I have only one request: no matter what happens, I want you to stay alive,” Ye Yuwei said it word-by-word while looking deep into Gu Juexi’s e
