Chapter 604 - Her Dad Was Quite A Wuss
Gu Juexi made another two attempts to call Ye Yuwei, but the results were the same—no one picked up. Provoked by Ye Yuwei’s attitude, Gu Juexi called Ye Yuwei’s number repeatedly. The more she refused to pick up her phone, the more Gu Juexi was determined to call her.
By the time Ye Yuwei was done unpacking and looked at her phone, she had tons of missed calls and a phone battery of 10%.
Ye Yuwei put one hand on her waist and felt like cursing but burst out laughing instead when she noticed how childish that man that was almost half a century old was.
Did it mean that she had never called him this persistently then? She was sure that Gu Juexi would have already blocked her number permanently if she had. Knowing him, he would probably have blocked her number when she called for the second time.
She was such a saint compared to Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei got her phone charger and charged her phone before going out for dinner. If Gu Juexi liked to call people, he could call all he wanted.
No one could stop Gu Juexi when he was acting childish, even at the dining table.
Wen Jie was helping Ye Xicheng with dinner and kept stealing glances at Gu Juexi who was feeding Xixi with one hand and holding his phone in the other.
“Are you busy with work?” Wen Jie asked.
“I want to eat that, daddy.” Xixi pointed at one of the dishes with her pudgy little finger.
Gu Juexi put down his phone and helped his daughter with her food, then answered his mother’s question. “It’s nothing.” Just that that woman was not picking up his calls.
Ye Xicheng had been keeping an eye on his little sister to make sure that she didn’t eat any heaty foods. Xixi had tried to go against her brother once because she thought her father would back her up, but she realized that her dad was quite a wuss and would listen to her brother every time on things like this.
Meanwhile at Qianfeng Hotel, Ye Yuwei and Nalan Chunbo were going for dinner when they bumped into Qian Feng and Mrs. Qian who happened to be at the hotel too.
Mrs. Qian was quite happy to see Ye Yuwei and kept talking to her while holding her hands.
“Why don’t you join us if you have not eaten, Mr. and Mrs. Qian?” Nalan Chunbo asked out of courtesy. The two of them accepted his offer and joined their table.
“Yikun was telling me that you probably wouldn’t be back anytime soon and I was so disappointed. Where are your two kids?” Mrs. Qian had always liked Ye Yuwei, and thought it was such a pity that Ye Yuwei and her son didn’t have feelings for each other.
“The children followed their father back to Gu Mansion,” Ye Yuwei said politely while taking a glass from Nalan Chunbo and giving it to Mrs. Qian. “I will bring them to visit you one day. I should have visited earlier, it’s just that I was busy with so many things since I got back.”
“It is normal that you young people are busy with your own things. Yikun is hardly at home too,” Mrs. Qian sighed.
Nalan Chunbo who was talking to Qian Feng when he heard Mrs. Qian and looked at her. “Has Mr. Qian always been this busy?”
“I have no idea what he was busy with. Qian Feng was never this busy when he ran the hotel,” Mrs. Qian sighed again.
“Isn’t it normal for a young man to build his career?” Qian Feng stared at his wife as he defended his son.
“Build his career? Look at how old he is now, and he doesn’t even have a girlfriend!” Mrs. Qian grumbled.
“I am sure that it is only because Mr. Qian dedicates all his time to his work,” Ye Yuwei comforted Mrs. Qian smilingly.
“What are you complaining to Ye Yuwei about, Mom?” Qian Yikun turned up at the dining table and asked, amusement in his husky voice.
Nalan Chunbo raised his brows—Qian Yikun had come at the right time.
