Chapter 1025 - Are You Stupid?
If not for her, Gu Juexi would have been in the helicopter and they wouldn’t have ended up here.
“Well, we could be dead in the explosion if not for you,” Gu Juexi remarked casually while turning the stick using his left hand.
Ye Yuwei sat down beside him, and pulled the shirt to cover her thighs. Even though there was nobody else around, she still felt insecure.
Gu Juexi noticed her action and his stare became intense.
‘This place is not suitable. Not suitable at all…’
Ye Yuwei averted her gaze. She looked at the stones and fire, then leaned on Gu Juexi’s right arm. “Is there anything that you are unable to do?” She murmured in admiration.
Gu Juexi raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming in delight. Nothing was better than being admired by his loved one.
“Oh, didn’t you ask me to leave earlier?” Ye Yuwei suddenly remembered and quickly moved away.
Gu Juexi took the roasted pheasant and stuck the stick into the ground. He tore off a thigh and handed it to Ye Yuwei. “Do you want to eat?”
“Yes, I do,” Ye Yuwei’s temper was gone in seconds. She took the roasted thigh with a big smile on her face.
Gu Juexi chuckled and tore the other thigh, handing it to Ye Yuwei. Then he began to eat the remaining parts of the roasted pheasant.
“I thought letting you go was the best way to keep you safe. Who knew that I still needed to worry about you. I think I had better keep you at my side,” uttered Gu Juexi as he ate. He shot her a glare. “Are you stupid?”
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes. “Don’t try to act innocent. When you almost blew up in rage at the Wen family’s residence, you wanted to strangle me, didn’t you?” Ye Yuwei muttered crossly as she chewed on the pheasant meat. The pheasant did not taste good without any spices but she could not ask for more in their current situation.
Gu Juexi could not argue. He admitted that he had been a bit emotional and had lost control at back then. However, he had managed to control his feelings after getting out of the house. By that time, it had been too late for him to return.
“I understand your feelings. If I were you, I would lose my mind and go mad instead of just getting angry. Nevertheless, it was my aunt who made Mother suffer,” said Ye Yuwei while staring at her food. She added, “No matter if my aunt was influenced by Wen Lan or not, what she did was wrong.”
Gu Juexi spun the stick on the ground using one hand as he listened to Ye Yuwei.
“How did you know about the imposter who impersonated your father?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly. She just could not figure it out.
“You told me before. You kept emphasizing how Gu Tianmu was innocent. You claimed that Gu Tianmu did not know your aunt at all but how did they have Nalan Chunbo together? I just put the two together and made a logical guess but I never thought they would not refute my claim.” Gu Juexi explained to Ye Yuwei. He stopped spinning the stick and raised his head to look at her. “I still have no idea who it is.”
Ye Yuwei was not hungry anymore. If she had not been starving earlier, she would not have taken even one bite of it.
“My father is no longer here,” Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze and muttered in a low voice. She was waiting for her father to appear but she suddenly got this unexpected news. She thought of arguing with her father about taking advantage of them. She had been thinking a lot about possibilities but only the beginnings. She never considered the outcomes.
