577: Gu Juexi, Kneeling? VI

Gu Juexi, Kneeling? VI

Gu Juexi slid his hands into his pockets and childishly retorted, "You're still young so behave like a child. Don't keep thinking about protecting Mommy and your sister. That is Daddy's job."2

"Old meatball, don't flatter yourself. I never acknowledged you as my daddy," Ye Xicheng scoffed and rolled around in bed.

"Also, old meatball, I still remember how you used me."

Gu Juexi was speechless. He walked to the bedside and wanted to squeeze there but after much thought, he grabbed Ye Xicheng's tiny shoulders and had him sit up.

"Little punk, remember this. In every matter, there will be areas that you can make use of. It all depends on how well you find the value of its use. Also, even if you have a temporary victory, you must be aware that as long as your enemy is smart, he can find a loophole in your victory and defeat you."

Ye Xicheng pursed his lips thoughtfully. Those words may be a little difficult for him to understand, but he carefully listened to them anyway.

Ye Yuwei heard Gu Juexi when she came out of the bathroom.

She was a little curious about what they were discussing, but never did she expect Gu Juexi to tell Ye Xicheng such things since he was just a child.

Gu Juexi reached out and tapped Ye Xicheng's tiny head, pushing him down onto the bed. Then he said, "Little punk, remember this: On this earth, there is no such thing as certain victory or certain defeat."

Ye Yuwei did not stop Gu Juexi from talking and went to tidy up her luggage instead.

Some things should be taught by fathers; this was something Ye Yuwei could not deny.

"Hey!" Ye Xicheng cried out but quickly crawled back up. He wanted to reach out and kick Gu Juexi who was standing at his bedside, but cursed his own legs for being too short.

Gu Juexi raised a brow. Wrestling with his son could make him forget his surroundings.

"You're the one who's an old fox," Ye Xicheng accused loudly.

"You're a little fox," Gu Juexi returned, but there was pride for his son in his tone.

Ye Xicheng quietly scoffed at him. Ye Yuwei looked back at him as she could hear her son's joy. The joy of a father's approval was a joy she could never give him.

Ye Xicheng lifted his legs to continue kicking Gu Juexi but Gu Juexi grabbed his feet and flipped him over onto the bed. Ye Yuwei looked up with a frown. As for his daughter, he would carry her all the time and constantly fear that others would hurt her but as for his son, he treated him as if he had been picked up from somewhere.

"Don't break his leg."

Ye Yuwei raised her leg and kicked Gu Juexi. Then, she took out their cups and placed them onto the bedside table.

Gu Juexi swung around to glare at Ye Yuwei after being kicked but she did not even look at him.

"Ye Yuwei, are you really a woman? You weren't like this last time," he said in disbelief.

Ye Yuwei put down the cups and turned around to look at Gu Juexi.

"Apologies, the old Ye Yuwei is long dead. If I'm not a woman, then go find yourself a woman," Ye Yuwei replied while picking up the two mineral water bottles from the table. She then went to find a kettle to boil water.

Gu Juexi choked at Ye Yuwei's words. He started to long for the old Ye Yuwei.

Ye Xicheng laid on the bed with his tiny feet still in Gu Juexi's grasp. He scoffed. "Go ahead and look for your mini celebrity."

Gu Juexi had no words.

Had both mother and son planned to disrespect him in advance?
