Chapter 1054 - His Only Family Member
Panda Novel
Ye Yuwei turned and walked out but paused after a few steps. She suddenly thought of something, returned to Aunty Qian and said, “Prepare dinner like usual. Adding a few light dishes will do.”
Aunty Qian was stunned for a few seconds. “But Little Young Master…”
“It is alright. Just do what I said. Xixi has been craving crayfish recently so prepare that dish for her as well. That kid likes it spicy.” Ye Yuwei left the house after giving the instructions.
Aunty Qian went to prepare dinner, confused. She could not understand Young Mistress’s motive. The injured Young Master should not consume spicy food, especially seafood. Crayfish was an irritant which could cause inflammation.
What a strange Young Mistress.
Ye Yuwei definitely knew that Gu Juexi needed to avoid those kinds of food. However, she would like to see how Ye Xicheng would react in front of Gu Juexi later.
Ye Xicheng would never expect his mother play a prank on him.
Ye Yuwei went to look for Nalan Chunbo at the hotel. When Nalan Chunbo opened the door for her, Ye Yuwei was relieved to see him looking alright.
“You are back. I knew Gu Juexi wouldn’t give up so easily,” Nalan Chunbo said and let Ye Yuwei enter the room. He closed the door and poured a glass of water for her.
Ye Yuwei saw a laptop on the table with an opened email on the screen. She was shocked after reading its content. “Brother, have you just resigned from your post as the Asia Pacific representative?”
Nalan Chunbo put down the glass and closed the laptop. He sat opposite Ye Yuwei, flashed her a warm smile and said, “I’ve been so busy these past few years, so I’m planning to take one or two years off before focusing on my career again.”
Ye Yuwei knew that Nalan Chunbo was never short of money. Even if he did not work for more than ten years, he could still survive with his fortune.
However, Ye Yuwei still felt very sorry for him.
“Brother, are you really okay?” Ye Yuwei moved to sit beside Nalan Chunbo. “No matter who you are, you are definitely my older brother. That will never change.”
Nalan Chunbo raised his hand to caress Ye Yuwei’s cheek and assured her, “Don’t worry, I will not commit suicide.”
“How about Gu Juexi’s grandmother?” asked Ye Yuwei carefully in a soft voice.
Nalan Chunbo clenched his fists. No words came out of his mouth.
Ye Yuwei grabbed Nalan Chunbo’s hand and held it tightly. “Brother, her time is running out. Let time decide her fate. Gu Juexi already disowned his grandmother so her life is miserable now. Perhaps that is her karma, so you—”
“Don’t worry, I won’t destroy my life for her,” Nalan Chunbo interrupted Ye Yuwei and said reassuringly.
Ye Yuwei was not sure if she should feel relieved or worried after listening to Nalan Chunbo’s promise.
“So don’t you want to look for your father?”
“Why should I look for a criminal?” Nalan Chunbo snarled coldly but softened his expression when he looked back at Ye Yuwei. He squeezed her hand gently and said, “Don’t worry about me. Since you have Gu Juexi to take care of you now, I feel relieved.”
Ye Yuwei’s eyes filled with tears. How could she not worry about him? Ye Yuwei reached out and hugged Nalan Chunbo, “Brother, you still have me in this world. Even though Father is no longer here, you still have me.”
Nalan Chunbo patted Ye Yuwei’s back and smiled warmly.
She was right. In this world, his younger sister was his only family member left.
In the past, he thought he still had an uncle and aunt who treated him well but they were not blood-related to him. Now, he had only one younger sister.
