Gu Juexi sat across from her. Ye Yuwei slapped her face to refocus and forced a smile on her face. “You—”

“Such an ugly smile.” Gu Juexi laughed it off.

The smile that Ye Yuwei tried to put on her face vanished in a split second. She even thought that she had overreacted and attempted to forget the earlier incident.

However—

She had overestimated this man.

Ye Yuwei raised to her feet, threw the heart at him and groaned, “I curse you to be forever alone.” She turned around and left.

Gu Juexi reached over to pick up the origami heart that he had folded. He was pretty adept at folding them now.

Gu Juexi gazed at the heart on his palm and said mischievously, “I’m just telling the truth. I sense shame and anger there.”

Ye Yuwei was stunned and she froze upon the remark. Agitated, she turned around and glared at the man who remained seated. “Yes, I’m ashamed and angry, so what?”

“Nothing. In fact, it’s very good, very realistic and genuine—it shows that my dear wife is different from those glamorous and cheap ladies outside,” Gu Juexi said in a gentle tone. He stood up and walked toward Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei watched him approaching her with caution.

When Gu Juexi was finally in front of her, he placed the heart back in her hand and said, “Take it, you can’t find it if you lose it.”

“Then I want it to be lost,” Ye Yuwei grunted, gritting her teeth.

Gu Juexi looked at her angry face and listened to her furious remark. He grabbed her into his embrace and said, “Never mind, if you lose it, I’ll search for it by myself.”

Ye Yuwei was dumbfounded. Mr. Gu, are you sweet-talking me?

Such a swift and unpredictable sweet-talk.

Gu Juexi rested his chin on her shoulder as he held her tightly in his embrace. He only needed a little more time, and then he would give her an unforgettable proposal.

Ye Yuwei was confused by Gu Juexi’s embrace. Since when did this man make such proactive approaches? Shouldn’t he tease her sarcastically as usual?

“What possessed you?” Ye Yuwei struggled out of his embrace and touched his forehead.

Gu Juexi stared at her in disbelief. He pushed her further away and exclaimed, “You are jealous of other people’s romance, but when I am being romantic with you, you say I’m possessed. Ye Yuwei, I won’t say I told you so, but look at yourself! The words ‘I don’t understand romance’ are written in large bold font all over your body.”

Ye Yuwei stared at him as he walked away. A bunch of sarcastic responses for a single sentence of remark from her?

“Gu Juexi, I don’t understand romance because no one has ever shown it to me. Can you blame me? Can you be romantic with a pot of cactus?” Ye Yuwei shouted loudly, exasperated.

Gu Juexi paused at her remark and looked back at his wife who was two steps away from him. “Even you can’t do it. You’re making it difficult for me.” Gu Juexi sprinted off afterward.

Ye Yuwei was stunned. What did he mean by that?

Making it difficult for him?

A sudden thought struck her and she understood it immediately.

Gu Juexi was implying she was a cactus!

Ye Yuwei felt her blood boiling. Didn’t he say that he was going to treat her like a baby?

Gu Juexi was in a much better mood after returning to the restaurant. Teasing his wife was great for his physical and mental health.

Gu Juexi informed the chef of Ye Yuwei’s favorite dishes and planned to take them back to their room. At this moment, he received a call from the person who was helping him make the engagement ring.
