Chapter 830 - The Battle of Verbal Taunts Between Husband and Wife
The figure had gone far away. Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to check on Ye Yuwei who was still shaken by the incident. He pulled her and started to walk away from the alley. “How many times do I have to tell you? Don’t go to crowded places! Do you just use your ears to put on earrings?”
Ye Yuwei staggered as Gu Juexi pulled her. She had to adjust her posture to keep up with his pace.
But when did he say such a thing?
“Your ears are for earrings,” Ye Yuwei grumbled.
Gu Juexi stopped at once, turned around and pinched her ear. “Your ears are bigger than mine, you can wear more earrings than I do.”
“You are so annoying!” Ye Yuwei struggled to push his hands away. “What just happened?”
“What happened? Someone wants you dead, that’s what.” The fear still lingered in Gu Juexi’s mind. When he thought it through, Ye Yuwei was not the type of person who would make enemies.
“Someone wants me dead? Impossible! I’m not you,” Ye Yuwei exclaimed in surprise. Then, she glanced at Gu Juexi’s face that had slowly turned dark.
The battle of verbal taunts between husband and wife. Neither was willing to give in to their opponent.
Gu Juexi leaned on the chair and looked at Ye Yuwei with a devious smile. “So? Do you covet Zhen’s 1 empire?
Ye Yuwei laughed at the comment. She swirled the glass in her hand playfully and said, “Your empire will eventually go to your son. There were empress dowagers in each and every dynasty and generations, but not for Taishang Huang 1 . So eventually, this empire will be in Ai Jia’s 2 hand.”
