624: The Feeling of Being Protected

The Feeling of Being Protected

Someone knocked on the hotel door when Ye Yuwei was deep in thought. Gu Juexi looked up and exchanged looks with her. 0

Ye Yuwei tutted and did not move from her seat. 

Gu Juexi wanted to say something but swallowed his words when he saw Ye Yuwei looking at him with her head propped up on her hand. He stood up to get the door while reminding himself that the first rule in courting a woman was to do whatever she said. 

Fine, he would answer the door for her. 

Ye Yuwei looked at the person who went to answer the door and smiled happily. This was actually not bad!

Her smile faded when she saw the person standing outside after Gu Juexi answered the door, and got up from her seat, looking panicked. 

Before the visitor could say anything, Ye Yuwei had pushed Gu Juexi into the house before she closed the door. She stared at the two women in front of her after making sure that the door was closed properly. 

Gu Juexi frowned at Ye Yuwei's behaviour and wanted to open the door, only to find that Ye Yuwei was pulling the door from the outside. Ye Yuwei was no match for him if he wanted to open the door forcefully, but he didn't do that. 

The way Ye Yuwei pushed him into the house reminded him of back then when his mother pulled him behind her. 

It was the feeling of being protected. 

Gu Juexi gripped the doorknob tightly without using any force to open the door. 

He had been the one who had protected the others and this nation all this while. Everyone thought of him as an almighty soldier, but nobody had thought that he might need protection too. 

How was he supposed to let go of a woman like Ye Yuwei? 

Ye Yuwei stood at the door and looked at Aunt Gu and Gu Tianxin. "Didn't I tell you not to come here?" 

Gu Tianxin was wearing heels, but it didn't make her taller than Ye Yuwei who was only wearing the slippers that the hotel provided. 

"I am here to tell you to take good care of your son," Gu Tianxin said arrogantly. 

Ye Yuwei leaned against the wall and looked at Gu Tianxin with a fake smile. Looks like the old Mr. Gu really wouldn't be around for long, or this woman wouldn't have shown up here to warn her. 

Before Ye Yuwei could say anything, she saw someone who had also come to visit her. 

Ye Yuwei let out a cold smile. This family really was willing to do anything for money. 

Mother had always said that she didn't do enough to make Gu Juexi what he was today. To her, mother had been the saint in Gu Juexi's life. She can't imagine Gu Juexi ending up like Gu Mutian or Gu Zhengjiang. 

Gu Tianxin took a step back when she saw Gu Tianmu. After all, she was frightened of this big brother of hers. 

Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei noticed how Aunt Gu's facial expressions changed when she saw Gu Tianmu. 

Gu Tianmu didn't look at the mother and daughter at all but stared directly at Ye Yuwei. "I know Gu Juexi is here." 

"So what if he's here?" Ye Yuwei asked unflinchingly. 

"Make him come out and see me. It is for the business of the Gu family and I don't see what it has to do with an outsider like you," Gu Tianmu said harshly. 

Ye Yuwei merely chuckled as if what Gu Tianmu said was the joke of the day.
