chapter-1362
“You should get going. Gu Juexi might start calling if he doesn’t see you at home,” said Nalan Chunbo while gesturing for Ye Yuwei to get into the car.
Ye Yuwei sighed deeply, got into the car and closed the door.
“Missing something or someone might become the regret of a lifetime,” Ye Yuwei wound down the window and said to Nalan Chunbo before the car drove away.
Nalan Chunbo waved at her and watched as the car drove away.
Some wounds would never heal. Nalan Chunbo stood there and went into the house only after the car disappeared from his sight.Ye Yuwei glanced at Xixi, who was still carrying the doll in her arms, then turned to look in Nalan Chunbo’s direction only to find that he was gone. What could she say to straighten Nalan Chunbo out?
Xixi was playing with the doll’s arm. She tilted her head, then broke the doll’s arm deliberately. She blinked and looked at her mother.
“Why did it break?” Ye Yuwei took the broken doll and asked.
“It just broke,” Xixi answered her mother, still holding the doll’s arm. She stared at it for a while longer, then tossed the broken arm away carelessly.
Ye Yuwei looked on in shock.
Xixi was looking outside the window while swinging her legs, not looking sorry at all.
That was not how she used to be.Xixi used to get angry at Ye Xicheng even when he pulled out a few strands of her doll’s hair.
Ye Yuwei looked at the doll’s broken arm. It was clear that it had been broken with force.
“Why did you break the doll, Xixi?” Ye Yuwei tried to sound as normal and gentle as possible when she asked.
“I don’t know,” Xixi turned to look at her mother and answered.
Ye Yuwei gasped softly, her heart feeling heavy.
Xixi was acting violently without her knowing.
Looks like Xixi’s condition was worse than they had imagined.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Xixi grabbed Ye Yuwei’s hand and asked curiously.
“Mommy’s fine,” Ye Yuwei regained focus and answered, forcing a smile onto her face.
Xixi made sure that her mother was alright then started singing happily while looking outside the window.
Ye Yuwei carried Xixi into the house after they arrived at Gu Mansion, where Gu Juexi was waiting and pointing at his watch.
Ye Yuwei ignored Gu Juexi and told Xixi to play on her own. Ye Xicheng was at school so Xixi was the only child now at home.
Ye Yuwei showed the broken doll to Gu Juexi when Xixi went to look for her toys.
“What is it?” Gu Juexi took the doll and asked while frowning.
“Xixi broke the arm and threw it away.”
Gu Juexi’s face turned ashen. He looked at his daughter, who was sitting on the carpet playing with her dolls, then looked at Ye Yuwei.
“It is probably not as serious as we think. Don’t worry, it is normal for her behaviour to change after what she witnessed. She should get better as time goes,” Gu Juexi reached out to hold Ye Yuwei’s hand and said.
Ye Yuwei nodded. She hoped that Xixi’s abnormal behaviour was only temporary too.
“By the way, I told my brother to collect his best man’s suit tomorrow,” Ye Yuwei said while looking at the time, “I told Brother Qian about it too, and he said he is okay with it.”
Gu Juexi was speechless. He was serious when he said that he didn’t need a best man for the wedding. Why did everyone think that a best man was necessary for the wedding?
