Chapter 712 - Let’s Be Reasonable, Gu Juexi
The servants were busy with their chores when Gu Juexi took Ye Yuwei to Bai Ying’s fortress. Ye Yuwei had only been to this place once and had a very vague impression of it.
The servants quickly arranged themselves into two rows by her side and bowed to Ye Yuwei as she entered.
Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Juexi who was leading the way, then looked away quietly.
What a petty man! The Bai family would realize that he was not in B City in no time if it weren’t for her, and he would be doomed!
Gu Juexi brought Ye Yuwei upstairs. He was not familiar with the upper floors of the castle and found Bai Ying’s room with the help of one of the servants.
Ye Yuwei entered the room and was immediately shoved against the door.
“Damn it, what are you doing here?” Gu Juexi’s facial expression was visible even with the mask on.
Gu Juexi gripped Ye Yuwei’s wrist so tightly that it began to hurt. “You can’t blame me for Bai Yuyan running away. What could I do when she wanted the both of us to perish together?”
Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei coldly. Did this woman really think that he didn’t know how Bai Yuyan escaped?
Ye Yuwei stood there confidently. She would insist that she didn’t know how Bai Yuyan got away. What could Gu Juexi do about it?
Gu Juexi lowered his head to bite Ye Yuwei’s lips sharply. That woman had no idea how afraid he was when he heard that she was coming.
Everyone knew that she was his weakness, and she actually sent herself to the doorstep of their worst enemy?
Ye Yuwei’s lips stung and she wanted to push Gu Juexi away but Gu Juexi was way stronger than she was and had pulled her to the bed before she realized it.
Ye Yuwei was speechless. How could he be doing this when there were a bunch of people down there waiting to take his life?
It was an awkward scene, especially since Gu Juexi was wearing a mask of someone else’s face.
Gu Juexi kissed Ye Yuwei’s neck, his lips cold against her skin. Ye Yuwei put her hands on Gu Juexi’s shoulders to maintain some distance between them, then reached for his face.
“No. Take off the mask, Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s face and murmured, “take it off.”
“Stop it,” Gu Juexi growled as he caught her hands.
“Then who am I kissing right now? Gu Juexi or this man that I don’t even know?” Ye Yuwei demanded and kicked Gu Juexi viciously.
Gu Juexi blinked at her in shock, then reached out and smacked Ye Yuwei’s head. “You will only be kissed by me for the rest of your life. Don’t even dream about being kissed by someone else.”
Ye Yuwei began to feel suffocated by Gu Juexi’s body on hers but she continued to cradle his face. “Let’s be reasonable, Gu Juexi.”
“Nope. You are leaving tonight with Nalan Chunbo,” Gu Juexi said determinedly.
Ye Yuwei opened her mouth angrily but did not say anything. How could this man be so stubborn?
“Do you think it is easy to leave when I am already here? What about you and my mothe— Bai Ying if I left?” Ye Yuwei demanded angrily. “Can you have some faith in me just this once, Gu Juexi? I am not being wilful, I know what I am doing.”
Gu Juexi looked at the woman under him who was struggling to get up and gripped her chin. “I always thought you don’t have a brain, but it seems like even your skull was made out of paper.”
