She sort of felt his statement made sense.

No wonder he settled her mother’s matter from the beginning and tried not to get her to interfere. Mr. Gu made incredible plans. That was his real intention.

A sinister intention.

Gu Juexi got up and left the room to bring her breakfast—or was it lunch? She wasn’t sure so she’d call it brunch—in bed.

Ye Yuwei was still lying in bed, zoning out. The school celebration was the day after tomorrow, but Gu Juexi hadn’t said a thing about the proposal. How did he keep it in?

If it was her, she would definitely find someone to spill the beans when she was up to something.

Gu Juexi never contacted Wen Shan. Ye Yuwei had the urge to tell her, but Gu Juexi tossed her phone aside, not letting her touch it.

“It is up to fate if they can meet coincidentally, there’s nothing you can do anyway,” Gu Juexi said.

Easier said than done. B City was so big, how fateful could they be to bump into each other?

Gu Department Store.

Nalan Chunbo cuddled Xixi, who was holding a doll that her uncle had bought her. She smiled contentedly.

Ye Xicheng was still picking a toy for Yuan Mo. Earlier, Yuan Mo had given him a limited edition replica of a gun. He too wanted to pick something that Yuan Mo loved.

Yuan Mo loved ships. There were a lot of warship models in this high-end model shop, but most of them were discontinued or limited edition models. There weren’t many children in the store because not many people would spend tens of thousands of dollars on toys for children.

Ye Xicheng scrutinized the models. He spoke like he was an expert in warships despite his miniature size. The staff’s eyes widened when he asked about a certain model number.

“You are a warship enthusiast, I’m impressed. That is the latest warship model but unfortunately, we don’t have any in our store and the shipment will only be here tomorrow. If you want, I can reserve it for you. We only ordered one,” the staff spoke softly, she could not resist such an adorable boy.

Ye Xicheng arched his little eyebrows. Tomorrow? But Yuan Mo would be coming to his house later in the evening, and school would start tomorrow.

Ye Xicheng looked back at Nalan Chunbo with a frown.

Nalan Chunbo reached over and patted his head. He turned to the staff and asked, “Is it on the way or still at the factory?”

“It’s still in the making. It’s a tedious task as it is fully handmade and because it’s an original scaled-down model, it’s also time-consuming. I guess it will be ready by tomorrow,” the staff explained seriously. “But if you are in a hurry, I can give you the address of the workshop. She said that it will be completed today but she isn’t sure about the time. You can check it out yourself.”

“Uncle.” Ye Xicheng’s big eyes sparkled instantly as he looked up at his uncle.

Nalan Chunbo figured he didn’t have much to do anyway, so he agreed to his little nephew’s anxious plea.

He took the address from the staff and said, “Please issue the invoice under Gu Juexi’s name. When he inquires about it, tell him that his son bought a warship model. Remember to issue the invoice.” It wasn’t because Nalan Chunbo was too petty to buy his nephew toys, rather, he didn’t want Gu Juexi to get out of it.

Nalan Chunbo left with the children while the staff gaped in shock.

The tiny adorable boy who spoke like an adult was Gu Enterprise’s CEO’s son?
