Ye Xicheng carefully climbed down from the sofa and walked towards Gu Juexi. He then bit on Gu Juexi’s wrist without any hesitation.

“Ouch!”

When Gu Juexi released his grip out of pain, Ye Yuwei quickly carried Xixi up from his lap.

“Hahaha—” Ye Xicheng made a monkey face at Gu Juexi who was slightly annoyed as he followed his mother back to his godmother’s side.

The atmosphere in the room was silent once again until Yu Jiangqing suddenly laughed and said, “Good job, boy. I think you are the only person in the world who would dare to treat him that way.”

Ye Xicheng quickly sat down beside his mother as he stared at the man who was dressed in the military wear. He wondered who that was.

“Say hello to uncle,” Ye Yuwei said as she patted Ye Xicheng on his head lightly. She did not make any detailed introduction, but then added, “The one sitting on the right is Uncle Lu and the one sitting on the left is Uncle Yu.”

“Hello, uncles,” Ye Xicheng obediently said without giving Ye Yuwei any trouble. Xixi giggled as she followed after her brother’s actions and greeted both of them too.

“You are a smart boy. Would you like to go to the army with uncle?” Yu Jiangqing asked with a smile.

“What are you talking about?” Gu Juexi quickly interrupted Yu Jiangqing’s words. He obviously did not want his son to join the military.

Yu Jiangqing ignored Gu Juexi and continued talking. “Your father used to be in the military. He was one of the best soldiers that we had ever had, and he was a hero.”

“Whoever invited him here can get lost now,” Gu Juexi said, his voice filled with anger and frustration.

He was a soldier before and therefore, he knew how difficult it was to walk the path of a soldier.

So, how could he let his son walk the same path as he did before?

Ye Xicheng looked slyly at Yu Jiangqing who was smiling widely and then looked at the old meatball who had a gloomy look on his face.

His mother had also told him before that the old meatball used to a soldier and that he was a hero. Only the most powerful and brave soldiers could be called heroes.

Was the old meatball really that powerful?

Yu Jiangqing could feel the anger in Gu Juexi’s voice and therefore, he decided to stop talking. However, he continued staring at Ye Xicheng with a smile on his face.

Ye Xicheng quickly held onto his mother’s clothes as he saw the look on Yu Jiangqing’s face. This man was the real fox.

Gu Juexi’s mood was not as good as before as he no longer had his little puffball in his arms. His hand was still hurting because the little meatball had really bitten him with all of his might.

“Weiwei, have you tried bringing your daughter to any doctors in the West?” Lu Qichuan suddenly asked as he pointed at the little puffball who was sitting on Ye Yuwei’s lap. Even as an outsider, he felt distressed when he saw the little puffball restraining herself from running towards her mother earlier.

Ye Yuwei lowered her head and kissed her daughter’s cheek. “I have already brought her to many different doctors but it seems like they could not diagnose anything. Maybe, there is no cure for her disease. I think her illness might be because I was unconscious for a long time after the accident six years ago. Furthermore, both of them were born prematurely.”

Gu Juexi frowned as he listened to Ye Yuwei’s words but he did not say anything.

Yu Jiangqing laughed and said, “It is all Bai Yuyan’s fault again. Are you guys done with her after putting her in prison?”

“Things will not end so easily for her,” Gu Juexi suddenly replied coldly.

Ye Yuwei knitted her brows together as she patted her daughter’s head gently.

Lu Qichuan leaned against the back of the sofa. His expression had also gotten uglier. He twirled the wine in his glass as he said, “Bai Yuyan is in prison right now. She does not have any family or relatives, so if anything were to happen to her, no one would know anyway.”

Ye Yuwei lifted her head and looked at Gu Juexi who was in deep thoughts. He was clearly thinking about what Lu Qichuan had just said.
