1302: You’re the Boss

You’re the Boss

Ye Yuwei arranged everything nicely for Nalan Chunbo when they returned to the apartment. She then knocked on the door before entering his room. "Brother, I've stocked the fridge with ingredients. The fruits are on the table, and there's mineral water on the kitchen counter," Ye Yuwei explained everything gently.0

Nalan Chunbo made a soft reply but did not get up from the bed. 

Ye Yuwei was still standing at the door. "If you really do like her, it's still possible between the two of you if you go and meet her now."

"Weiwei," Nalan Chunbo said suddenly. He still did not get up from the bed though. "I'm very happy that you told me the truth, but how can I go and look for her when everything is still in the dark?"

He did not even have a reason to apologize to her. 

How could he go and look for her?

Ye Yuwei opened her mouth to say something more but was pulled back by Gu Juexi. She turned and saw that Gu Juexi was gesturing for her to leave. 

Ye Yuwei turned back to look into the room again after sighing deeply. "Father will go and meet Nalan Jing this afternoon. He might be your father."

A heavy silence lingered in the room. 

Gu Juexi pulled her away. What Nalan Chunbo needed now was peace.

They went downstairs and got into the car to leave.

Ye Yuwei gazed at the torrential rain through the window as they drove away from the underground car park.

Gu Juexi reached out and pressed her shoulder, and Ye Yuwei leaned against his shoulder and continued to gaze at the heavy rain.

"Where are we going now?" asked Ye Yuwei.

"We're going to meet them." Gu Juexi did not have to explain who they were. Ye Yuwei knew perfectly well who they were going to meet later.

Gu Juexi would never let it be although he did ask Gu Tianmu to go and meet Nalan Jing by himself. In fact, they could still get the news they wanted from Nalan Jing.

Gu Juexi could get what he wanted, to be more precise.

Gu Tianmu and Nalan Jing had planned to meet at a Chinese restaurant somewhere near Gu Mansion.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi arrived earlier than them so that they could hide their presence more easily. 

The restaurant was renovated in a traditional Chinese style. The desserts sold there were Chinese desserts too. However, the drinks were scarce. The restaurant did not provide any other kind of drinks.

"It's the perfect place for old gentlemen." Gu Juexi was making Chinese tea for Ye Yuwei. She rested her chin on her hand and looked around the restaurant.

"You're the kind who will meet people in cafés, right?" Gu Juexi commented on Ye Yuwei's preferences.

"What could happen if you don't argue with me?" 

"I might have a shorter lifespan, then I could not live longer by your side. Don't you think that you're quite useful?" Gu Juexi asked with a mischievous smile. 

Ye Yuwei was lost for words.

She just wanted to smack his smiling face, which was more annoying than ever. 

Gu Juexi was good at making Chinese tea. Ye Yuwei thought that he was just fooling around, but every step was precise. 

"Oh, did you learn how to make this?" Ye Yuwei took the small teacup from him and took a sip. It was perfect.

Gu Juexi could almost guess her response. He held up his cup. "I once took on a mission of being a spy for a boss who was a tea fanatic. I learnt some of it, but that was more than ten years ago. I haven't made tea since then."

Ye Yuwei choked on her tea. 'He had only learnt the basics, and he had not made it for more than ten years now, but he could still do it so well.

'Yes, you're indeed the boss. Who are you trying to irritate?'
