747: This Was Unacceptable

This Was Unacceptable

When Ye Yuwei's son approached her, she carried him. Seeing Gu Juexi's dark expression, she had a hunch that this time, Gu Juexi would not only deal with the Gu family, but the Wen family would not be able to escape his clutches too.1

Xixi was in Gu Juexi's embrace, grinning from ear to ear while fiddling with the crest in her hands. She was elated at getting what she wanted. 

"Ask Wen Tao to come over." Gu Juexi broke the silence.

"Gu Juexi, your health—" Ye Yuwei was interrupted when Gu Juexi shot her a look, thus she could only nod. "Alright."

When Wen Tao rushed over, Gu Juexi had just finished his meal and wasn't in his best state, and yet he insisted on going through all the documents Wen Tao brought.

Knowing Gu Juexi's temper, Ye Yuwei kept her thoughts to herself.

"Mr. Nalan is handling the tin market, it should be done by today afternoon," PA Wen explained.

"Should be?" Gu Juexi looked up from the documents. 

PA Wen was rendered speechless. Even when he was unwell, he remained sharp.

"It will be done." PA Wen rephrased his sentence.

While he browsed through the documents, Ye Yuwei looked at the trembling PA Wen with sympathy. 

Ye Yuwei: He's unwell now. You can always bash him up.

PA Wen: I wouldn't dare to. When he recovers, I'll be done for. 

With a sleeping daughter in his embrace and his gaze on the documents, Gu Juexi could still sense something was going on. "What's with the exchanged looks? What are the both of you planning?"

PA Wen's eyes darted back.

Ye Yuwei kept quiet.

'How terrifying!'

PA Wen was helpless. He couldn't help but feel terrified. 

Ye Yuwei retracted her gaze. She had comrade-in-arms everywhere but none could take up the challenge.

When the nurse came in to change Gu Juexi's dressing, he had just finished with the documents.

"Gu, you haven't recovered fully. It would be best for you to rest," the nurse reminded.

PA Wen wanted to say the same thing as well. He would rather work with Ye Yuwei.

Gu Juexi passed the documents to Ye Yuwei and let the nurse change his dressing. The wounds on his body were numerous. 

Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes as the nurse removed Gu Juexi's gown. Even though his body was covered with bandages, the sight was still unbearable.

From the corner of his eye, Gu Juexi kept his gaze on Ye Yuwei, hence he had noticed the change in her expression.

Despite disliking letting other women seeing him in this state, he decided to keep quiet out of spite as she was exchanging looks with PA Wen earlier. 

"You can leave it. I will change the dressing for him later," Ye Yuwei spoke up just as the nurse was about to untie Gu Juexi's bandage. 

To untie the bandage, the nurse would have to climb on top of Gu Juexi.

This was unacceptable. 

Gu Juexi was about to say something when Ye Yuwei spoke up, so he quickly returned to his composed self and pretended he wasn't bothered.

The nurse was taken aback by the sudden request and her cheeks turned red.

PA Wen turned away quietly. 'Could he act more naturally?'

Even though Gu Juexi was married with kids, he still had his charms. Therefore, it came as no surprise that the nurse would blush.

The nurse cheeks turned redder when Ye Yuwei spoke up, therefore she hurriedly got off Gu Juexi and spoke softly, "Then, I will go to carry out other tasks first. I will come back in awhile."

As the nurse rushed out, Gu Juexi grinned.
