Gu Juexi didn’t rush him. He waited patiently for Lu Qichuan to start talking.

Ye Yuwei went over to ask him to come for dinner, but she was pulled right into his embrace. The harder she tried to struggle out of his arms, the tighter he hugged her. He pressed a kiss to her neck.

This action that should be considered normal between lovebirds earned Gu Juexi a cold stare from Ye Yuwei instead. It didn’t scare Gu Juexi off though and on the contrary, he thought it was cute.

“Boss, I advise you to remain calm when you hear the news, there might be some other situation involved in it.” After he reorganized his thoughts, Lu Qichuan conveyed this statement cautiously.

His teasing of Ye Yuwei stopped for a second. The emotionless expression came back onto his face. “Talk.”

“It was rumored that Aunt eloped once during the few years of being married to Uncle.”

“Ah! Gu Juexi! What are you doing?”

Lu Qichuan’s voice ended abruptly when he heard Ye Yuwei yell.

The reason Ye Yuwei shrieked so suddenly was because Gu Juexi’s grip on Ye Yuwei had grown immensely tighter.

Lu Qichuan was hesitant because of the unexpected surprise, but he quickly composed himself. “That is what I got from my side, but I think it is better for you to ask Aunt about this because no one knows better than her about the things that happened in the past.”

Lu Qichuan spoke very fast but Gu Juexi seemed to isolate himself from the conversation.

Elope.

It was that word that had deafened his ears and shaken his mind.

That word. How was that word associated with his mother?

Ye Yuwei was shocked by Gu Juexi’s strong grip, but she also sensed his peculiarity. She couldn’t hear anything that was said on the phone, but she could see that Gu Juexi’s expression had turned horrid.

“Gu—”

Before she could finish, Gu Juexi turned his sharp gaze toward her. Startled, she swallowed and kept quiet.

Gu Juexi tried to compose himself again when he saw the panic in Ye Yuwei’s eyes. He took a deep breath and grabbed her shoulders lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m alright. I’m going to go for a stroll outside, you have your dinner first.”

Gu Juexi controlled his tone to be as gentle as he could muster. He wouldn’t hurt this woman anymore, that was his demand for himself.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi’s back that was walking away. She could sense his restraint.

Who was on the phone? What were they talking about?

Ye Yuwei walked back into the house. Master Yao Lao watched her take a seat. “Where is that kid?”

“He went out, I’m not sure what happened to him,” said Ye Yuwei, sounding restless.

“He has a load on his shoulders that affects his physical and emotional state. This, plus the previous injury, will get to him before the problem is settled,” Master Yao Lao said faintly.

Ye Yuwei looked down subtly and mumbled, “It’s just that there is a lot going on in the family right now. You know him; he always keeps everything to himself.”

However, Ye Yuwei knew that the load on Gu Juexi’s shoulder was intrinsically the knot in his heart, the knot that had been tied since childhood. She couldn’t understand it. He was obedient, well-behaved and sensible; why wasn’t Gu Tianmu fond of him?

That knot had remained in Gu Juexi’s heart for a few decades.

The knot of He Liao and his comrades was easy to untie. On the contrary, it wasn’t as easy to untie a knot with sentimental and emotional attachment.

Ye Yuwei took a few bites of her dinner then went out to search for Gu Juexi.

The moonlight was brighter on the hill than in the city. It soothed the mind and soul.

However, Ye Yuwei was in no mood to indulge in it.

When she finally found Gu Juexi, he was standing alone by the river, looking at the fishes drowsing in the moonlight.

It was heartbreaking to look at his lonesome and forlorn figure.

Ye Yuwei walked quietly towards him and stood behind him, still as a mouse.
