517: Chicken Soup for the Soul

Chicken Soup for the Soul

Gu Juexi knitted his brows together as he stared at the cactus that was laying on the ground.2

Had he sent her the wrong type of flowers?

Wasn't Ye Yuwei a cactus herself?

Gu Juexi lifted his leg, wanting to kick the cactus away but then decided against it. He bent over and slowly picked up the pot of cactus.

Ye Xicheng leaned against the back seat as he looked out the back window and suddenly felt that he was in a better mood as he observed the old meatball who was getting further and further away. 

Qian Yikun looked at the emotional Ye Yuwei who was sitting quietly in the passenger seat beside him, and then looked at the man who was left behind through his rear-view mirror.

She obviously could not let go off him.

Otherwise, she would not have been so affected by what Gu Juexi said.

"Actually, I feel that CEO Gu really cares about you," Qian Yikun suddenly said, breaking the silence in the car. "Furthermore, I feel that you don't hate him as much as you say you do."

"Maybe it is because his reasons are so great that I can't bring myself to hate him, but that does not mean that I am able to forgive him either," Ye Yuwei replied as she heard Qian Yikun's words.

Qian Yikun listened to Ye Yuwei's explanation and subconsciously clenched the steering wheel tighter. "What do you mean?"

"He was once a soldier, and therefore, he would always be a soldier," Ye Yuwei replied bitterly. "Everything that he does, he always does for the good of others. As for me, I can only try to do whatever I can to protect myself. I could never be the same as him. The both of us belong to two completely different worlds."

Ye Xicheng frowned as he listened to the conversation between his mother and Qian Yikun. So, the old meatball used to be a soldier.

Therefore, when his mother said that his father had sacrificed his life for his country, she was not lying to him.

"In this world, it is already very difficult just to have a clear conscience," Qian Yikun said. "From my perspective as a man, I can see that CEO Gu has really repented for your sake."

Ye Yuwei leaned back against the passenger seat and suddenly let out a laugh.

"I suddenly realized that I am really unattractive. Shouldn't I have a few pursuers loyally chasing after me?" Ye Yuwei jokingly said. 

Lu Qichuan had indeed confessed his feelings for her in the past, but he had given up on her before even taking any action.

Qian Yikun had helped her so much and stayed by her side throughout the past few years, but now, he was telling her how much Gu Juexi loved her.

Was she destined not to be loved by anyone else in this lifetime?

"It is not that you do not have any charms. Yuwei, do you realize that you are always giving out a signal to everyone who tries to get close to you. It is as though you are telling them not to get close to you because your heart is already occupied by someone that you love very much. Furthermore, the person who has already occupied your heart seems to have a very strong standing and even if anyone is in love with you, they would get discouraged," Qian Yikun said with a smile on his face. "For the past few years, there were countless number of men who had tried to go after you. However, they always give up before they even took any action. They did not give up because they felt inferior to you, but they gave up because they could see in your eyes, the feelings that you hold for that man in your heart."

Ye Yuwei remained silent after listening to Qian Yikun's words.

Initially, Ye Xicheng was playing on his cell phone on the back seat of the car. However, he frowned as soon as he heard Qian Yikun's words before carefully observing his mother.

'Is Mommy still in love with that old meatball?'

But Ye Xicheng did not understand. What was so good about that old meatball?
