Ye Yuwei raised her head and looked at Madam Zhou. “He treats me very well now. We’ve put the past behind us.”

“It’s obvious. Otherwise, why would a man like Gu Juexi agree to visit your teacher?” Madam Zhou smiled and got up to wash the vegetables. “So many people tried to meet him but to no avail. If it wasn’t for you, he wouldn’t have come here.”

Ye Yuwei remembered something PA Wen had said. People from various trades had tried to visit Gu Juexi but he was out of their league. The people on par with him were not commoners.

For example, those who frequently appeared on the television.

Therefore, Gu Juexi had come here for her.

R University may be a famous institution, but it paled in comparison to B University. The chancellor was someone extraordinary as well, that was why Gu Juexi had gone there to give a speech.

And that was the only speech he had ever given.

In the study, the game of chess was in progress.

Ye Xicheng placed his arm on Gu Juexi’s thigh and leaned his body against Gu Juexi’s torso while watching the game.

Xixi couldn’t appreciate the game. She folded her legs and sat on a stool next to Gu Juexi, happily munching on the snacks.

“It must be a lie that CEO Gu has heard of me. How could you have heard my name?” Professor Zhou asked bluntly.

Gu Juexi had intentionally given the man a few chances in the game as this was Ye Yuwei’s teacher he was playing against.

Professor Zhou could see the moves Gu Juexi had purposely made.

“Weiwei had mentioned you before our trip, so I have heard of you,” Gu Juexi stated frankly.

Professor Zhou let out a dissatisfied groan and continued with the game. “Little Yezi had a bright future ahead of her, but she gave up everything for you.”

“Her achievements now aren’t that mediocre too.” Gu Juexi remained expressionless and glanced at the stunned Professor Zhou. “It’s your turn”.

Mrs Gu; it was a position many could not reach. Wasn’t it an admirable achievement?

“I’ve heard unpleasant rumors of you both,” Professor Zhou muttered while making his move.

“Then perhaps the news you’ve heard is rather outdated.” Gu Juexi could hear the dissatisfaction in Professor Zhou’s tone but he regarded this as protectiveness for his wife, so he clarified it politely.

Professor Zhou looked at Gu Juexi. This man was merely a young buck to him. He had heard uncountable things about Gu Juexi. The older he got, the shrewder he got.

And yet every word Gu Juexi had spoken was courteous and it was obvious that it was because he was Gu Juexi’s wife’s teacher and thus he had to be respected.

Therefore, Professor Zhou could see that his disciple had chosen someone that she could entrust herself to for the rest of her life.

Ye Xicheng looked at the chessboard, unconsciously tracing Gu Juexi’s thigh.

Gu Juexi lowered his head and looked at his son. He carried Ye Xicheng onto his lap and placed the chess piece in his son’s hand.

Ye Xicheng bit his lip and looked at Gu Juexi. He had not forgiven his father, but he was tempted to play.

Gu Juexi gestured for Ye Xicheng to place the chess piece on the board while talking to Professor Zhou. “Weiwei mentioned that you helped her immensely back then, thus I will answer any questions that Professor Zhou wishes to ask.”

Gu Juexi was alarmingly straightforward. Professor Zhou looked at the move Ye Xicheng had made and let out a laugh.

Ye Xicheng turned around and looked at Gu Juexi with wide eyes, seemingly to ask if he had made the right move.

It wasn’t against the rules, but it wasn’t a great move.

Gu Juexi stroked his son’s head, a gesture to encourage Ye Xicheng to play.
