Chapter 1611 - Daddy Was A Henpecked Man
If Gu Juexi did not come back, Ye Yuwei would grit her teeth and endure every single hardship that came her way no matter what. After all, that was how she lived her life in the past.
However, a person would only need to experience being reliant on someone else once. Once they had someone to rely on, what followed would be grievance—overwhelming grievance, or even, unreasonable grievance.
That was exactly Ye Yuwei’s current state of mind, and Gu Juexi provided her the reliance that made her vulnerable.
Silence engulfed the entire room. No one spoke. There were only the sounds of the trio’s shallow breaths. Perhaps, since Gu Juexi had not had a good rest for a long time now, he was slowly falling asleep as he stared at Ye Yuwei.
In the dead of night, Ye Yuwei opened her eyes, fully awake, and looked at the man right in front of her.
She dared to throw a tantrum at him so heedlessly only because she knew she was loved.
Ye Yuwei reached out her hand across her daughter and touched his face. Yet, the moment she felt Gu Juexi’s face, Gu Juexi suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Let’s sleep. I’ll explain it to you tomorrow.” Gu Juexi did not let go of Ye Yuwei’s hand. Instead, he extended his long arm across his daughter’s neck and enveloped the mother-daughter duo into his protection range.
After a night of silence, Gu Juexi had a good night’s sleep. When he woke up, both mother and daughter were still asleep in his arms.
At this moment, Gu Juexi felt nothing but content in his heart. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Ye Yuwei’s forehead. Xi Xi, still in his embrace, started twisting about. It seemed like she was about to wake up.
Gu Juexi quickly got up and carried Xi Xi to the bathroom.
Xi Xi lay on Gu Juexi’s shoulder and rubbed her eyes with her little hands continuously. She straightened her little head and yawned slightly The corners of her mouth arched slightly to form an adorable smile. Eventually, she went back to lying on her father’s shoulder in her dazed state.
“Daddy—”
Gu Juexi carried her to the bathroom and placed her on the toilet. “Uh-huh, Daddy’s back.”
“Huh?”
Lil Xi Xi jerked awake. In a sudden burst of energy, she pressed on Gu Juexi’s arm and was about to stand up from the toilet. Gu Juexi, who was holding Xi Xi with one hand and her gargling cup with the other, was completely taken aback by her sudden movement.
“Aren’t you precious?” Gu Juexi quickly threw Xi Xi’s small cup aside and lifted her with both hands. He was afraid that she would accidentally slip and fall into the toilet.
“Daddy, Daddy, Xi Xi misses you so much,” Xi Xi called out. Her chubby little limbs nimbly jumped onto Gu Juexi’s body. Then, her chubby little hands held Gu Juexi’s face as she gave him a big kiss.
Gu Juexi let himself be showered with kisses by her own girl. Holding the girl up with one hand, he continued to collect her gargling water. It seemed like Xi Xi would not be asking for a peepee in her current state.
“Daddy misses you too,” Gu Juexi said as he planted a kiss on the girl’s tiny face. Then, he put the cup to her mouth so that she could rinse her mouth first.
Xixi was finally happy. With her daddy back, it meant Xi Xi would have someone to serve her again. After all, her mommy made her brush her teeth on her own.
Pearls of giggles rang from the bathroom from time to time. Ye Yuwei woke up from her dreams and looked at the lights in the bathroom. She had not seen her daughter this happy in the past few days.
Ye Yuwei threw the blanket back, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom. “Let her do it by herself. She’s almost six years old. Why wouldn’t you let her do anything herself?”
Ye Yuwei felt like going mental every time she saw the way that Gu Juexi took care of Xixi. Was this man trying to irritate her to death?
Realizing that his wife got angry again, Gu Juexi quickly put Xi Xi down on the stool below them and handed the toothbrush to Xi Xi.
A slight pout hung on Xi Xi’s small mouth as she reluctantly took the electric toothbrush and brushed her own teeth with it.
Daddy was too scared now. He did not dare to retort after her mommy said a single sentence. Oof, daddy was a henpecked man. Hmph—
