The two of them entered the house and slammed the door, keeping the icy cold wind out.
Xi Xi sprawled on her grandmother’s shoulder, sobbing away at the resentment of being wrongly treated. Ye Xicheng was no longer playing with his phone. Instead, he was acpanying his sister.
Gu Juexi turned around and gave Ye Yuwei a knowing glance. Ye Yuwei took a deep breath. She let go of Gu Juexi’s hand and approached Xi Xi. She reached out to hold Xi Xi, but Xixi snorted and turned her back to Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei did not force her. She just reached out and held her little hand. “Mommy misunderstood Xi Xi just now. It’s Mommy’s fault. Can Mommy apologize?”
“Hmph—” Xi Xi snapped her head away again, refusing to look at her mommy.
Wen Jie gently patted Xi Xi’s back. “It’s okay. It’s okay. Your mommy apologized.”
“Mommy, what happened to you just now?” Ye Xicheng asked uneasily as he trailed next to Ye Yuwei. His little hand tugged at his mommy’s clothes.
Ye Yuwei gazed down at her son. Her son had always been attentive, but she could not tell him these things.
Ye Yuwei thought about it and reached out to hold Xi Xi again. “Okay, okay. Mommy’s sorry. Mommy was wrong. I promise that I won’t be so rash next time. Can you forgive Mommy this once?”
An apology was the most important form of respect given to a child.
Even if the child was yours, you would think that everything could be taken for granted. Yet, to the child, your apology to the child after making a mistake was the most important thing.
Xi Xi sniffed and put her small arms around Ye Yuwei’s neck to hug her. “Mommy mustn’t be angry at Xi Xi in the future. If Xi Xi does something wrong, Mommy can tell Xi Xi about it.”
“Okay.” Ye Yuwei kissed her daughter’s little face, blaming herself even more for what she did earlier.
Gu Tianmu, who watched everything from the side, did not relax his tightly knitted eyebrows. He had never liked Ye Yuwei, but Wen Jie and Gu Juexi—the mother and son—treated her like an apple in their eyes, which made Gu Tianmu very unhappy.
After successfully coaxing her daughter, Ye Yuwei watched as Xi Xi went to play with her brother again. Ye Yuwei was finally relieved.
“Children are so kind.” Ye Yuwei sighed. They forgave so easily now. Yet, the older they grew, they would find it harder to forgive someone.
Gu Juexi put his arm around Ye Yuwei’s shoulders. “It’ll get better.”
Ye Yuwei turned around and peered at Gu Juexi. “We didn’t fight this time. Does that count as an improvement?”
Gu Juexi raised his eyebrows slightly. This was, of course, an improvement. If it was in the past, Ye Yuwei would not let him off before having a hysterical argument with him.
After gaining insight into what was going to happen next, Ye Yuwei had a clear goal of what she was going to.
In spite of Ye Cong’s defiant nature, it was fortunate that Gu Juexi understood Ye Cong—he was not someone who would harm innocent people. In other words, his targets were only Gu Juexi and Mo Fei.
If Ye Yuwei was right, Ye Cong would be ing to B City.
The man who was said to be on par with Gu Yuexi was ing to B City.
The first person to receive news of Ye Cong’s arrival was Qian Yikun. Mo Fei had not woken up yet when that happened.
When Qian Yikun received the news, he was on duty at the police station. He immediately made a call home only to have Xin Ya telling him that Mo Fei was still unconscious and that nothing happened at home.
“Brother Qian, let’s go and eat. You’ve called home a few times. Are you hiding someone at home or what?” His colleague joked.
He was hiding someone—an impressive someone at that.
