1060: Are You Worried About Your Daddy?

Are You Worried About Your Daddy?

Ye Yuwei watched Gu Juexi crouching on the floor, teasing and comforting his daughter, then peeked at Xiao Lian as she wiped the handrails of the stairs.2

In B City, Gu Juexi held a godlike reputation and everyone looked at him like he was a deity, especially ladies, regardless of their age. Gu Juexi's relationship status didn't matter at all.

Oh, yes—they were divorced. She wondered when that man would inform her of the delightful fact.

In the eyes of his admirers, the image of a family man did not suit Gu Juexi at all; in fact, they were repulsed by it. After all, the best place for a god was the altar to be worshipped by people, not squatting on the floor taming his daughter like a common man.

That was Ye Yuwei's main goal. She wanted the worshippers with unnecessary and irrational thoughts to see for themselves that because of her, Ye Yuwei, Gu Juexi had descended from the altar to become a mortal man.

Gu Juexi successfully tamed his daughter's tantrum with three dolls. Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze at her son and sighed, "That's all it took. Your sister is too easy."

Ye Xicheng nodded, equally dejected. "Xixi, don't you have enough dolls already?"

"Daddy said he'll buy me new dolls." Gu Juexi picked Xixi up from the floor, her little arms immediately hooking around Gu Juexi's neck like a sloth. 

Both mother and son glared at the little girl who was so easily bribed and shook their heads.

Auntie Qian ushered them to the dining hall when she finished setting the dinner table.

Gu Juexi ordered Butler Kim to assign two people to help Auntie Yuan at the hospital. Since Gu Tianmu was out of the woods for now, someone needed to be there to take care of him all the time.

When Ye Xicheng sprinted to the dining hall and saw the dishes on the table, he frowned in dismay and looked at Auntie Qian, confused. Didn't he ask her to leave spices and seafood out of the menu?

Auntie Qian smiled apologetically at the Little Master. This was not her plan, after all.

"Wow! Crayfish!" Xixi's large eyes widened at the sight of crayfish on the table. She sat herself in her baby chair with some effort, swinging her little legs and waiting anxiously for her daddy to serve her the crayfish.

Ye Yuwei helped Ye Xicheng onto his chair and took a seat.

Ye Yuwei put the plate of spicy fried clams in front of Gu Juexi and watched stealthily as her son frowned deeply.

"Mommy, I want to eat that," Ye Xicheng exclaimed nervously as he pointed at the plate of spicy fried clams Ye Yuwei was holding.

"I thought you didn't like this. Never mind, I'll bring you your favorite dishes in a while," Ye Yuwei suggested as she put down the plate.

"But I want to eat it today, Mommy, put it near me," Ye Xicheng blurted out desperately.

Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi and raised her eyebrows gleefully, and Gu Juexi glared at his mischievous wife.

Finally, Ye Yuwei placed the clams next to Ye Xicheng and asked, "Xicheng, are you worried because your daddy cannot eat this?"

"N—No, I'm not!" Ye Xicheng was flabbergasted at his mother's question and immediately denied it. After all, he was too young to realize his mother's scheme.

"Grandpa Kim, can you help Xixi crack open the crayfish, please?" Ye Xicheng requested politely as he turned around to Butler Kim who was standing nearby.

"Little Master, let me do it." Xiao Lian rushed forward and grabbed the bowl of crayfish hastily.

Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, ignoring the maid completely.

Gu Juexi kicked her under the table, making her yelp. 

"What?!"
