1047: The Watch

The Watch

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei who was glaring and asked silently, 'Wasn't it you who wanted to find out?'1

Ye Yuwei was already on the verge of breaking down at how naïve this man was. 'I didn't want you to ask so straightforwardly!'

Gu Juexi wore a cold smile. 'It's because you are such a hypocrite.'

Ye Yuwei gave up communicating with Gu Juexi. This man wasn't just an ordinary man that anyone could see through. 

Wen Jie looked awkward. "You two should go home and get some rest. Xixi and Xicheng are at Yaojing's place, pick them up only after you have had plenty of rest."

Wen Jie was obviously trying to avoid the question. 

Gu Juexi was going to say something else, but Ye Yuwei pinched his arm and dragged him to the door. "We will get going now then, Mother." 

Gu Juexi followed reluctantly, and Ye Yuwei turned to look at Wen Jie at the door and said, "He isn't out of danger yet, Mother." 

Ye Yuwei left together with Gu Juexi, while Wen Jie's face had turned ashen. 

It had been three days and he was still not out of danger.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi bumped into PA Wen on their way out. Ye Yuwei felt like PA Wen was going to burst into tears when he saw Gu Juexi. 

Ye Yuwei's lips twitched and she felt that she should give the two of them some space. 

"You are back, Mr. Gu," said PA Wen excitedly while passing the shoes to Gu Juexi. 

Ye Yuwei was speechless. She felt like the third wheel here. 

PA Wen noticed Ye Yuwei's face and asked silently, 'What are you thinking, Mistress?'

He only felt excited because he was finally free! 

Gu Juexi didn't care at all about Ye Yuwei and PA Wen communicating silently. He bent over and helped Ye Yuwei with her shoes. 

Not believing what he saw, PA Wen gaped at Gu Juexi. 

Ye Yuwei was speechless too. If only the words that came out of this man's mouth were as romantic as his actions. 

Gu Juexi didn't feel like his behavior was odd and stood up after putting the shoes on Ye Yuwei. 

"What is the time now?" Gu Juexi asked PA Wen. 

"7.30," PA Wen said and was surprised to see Gu Juexi's unadorned wrist. "Mr. Gu, your watch…" 

But Gu Juexi was not bothered at all and walked towards the exit with Ye Yuwei. 

'What about the watch?' Ye Yuwei looked at PA Wen and wondered. 

Wasn't it just a normal watch? Why was PA Wen looking so surprised? 

They left the hospital and got into the car. Gu Juexi closed his eyes to rest, his face looking arrogant as always. Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and looked at PA Wen who was driving. 

PA Wen noticed Ye Yuwei looking at him from the rear mirror and mouthed the words: It was a birthday gift from President Gu, Mr. Gu has never taken it off. 

Ye Yuwei was surprised. The watch didn't seem that important to Gu Juexi when he took it off in the forest to show off his skill of sending a signal. 

But she did remember Gu Juexi wearing it all the time. 

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi, whose face was practically saying 'please don't talk to me'. 

It was no wonder that Gu Juexi was wearing an almost ten-year-old watch — it had been a gift from Gu Tianmu. 

He didn't want to admit that he cared, but his expression said otherwise. 

But it looked like Gu Tianmu had saved their lives again. 

The car drove all the way to Gu Mansion. Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi both needed to shower. Because of the wounds on Gu Juexi's back, he needed to be extra careful to make sure that they didn't come in contact with water. He had worn a jacket earlier so that Wen Jie wouldn't see the wounds on his back and get worried. 

So… 

Ye Yuwei blinked and looked at Gu Juexi who was leaning against the bathroom door.
