Chapter 831 - Don't Expect Me To Call You a Young Lady Even If You Call Me a Young Man

Panda Novel

Ai Jia ¹ , Zhen ² .

When their relationship changed, Ye Yuwei gained the upper hand over Gu Juexi.

Ai Jia was the empress. Zhen was the emperor.

Undoubtedly, Ye Yuwei had won this round.

Ye Yuwei was grabbed her chopsticks and started eating when the food was served. Gu Juexi glanced at Ye Yuwei who had her mouth full. She had leveled up in her debating.

“So the person who wanted to kill me but not you, could it be the work of that lady who admired you?” Ye Yuwei asked with food in her mouth.

“How so?” Gu Juexi picked up his chopsticks too. He decided to take a rain check on their banter and talked about this matter seriously.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Those guys from last night were obviously not aiming for your life, but today someone was trying to push me into a fire,” Ye Yuwei said coldly.

Gu Juexi shared the same thoughts. What’s more, the skill was not top-notch, it showed that the person behind it was subpar. It could be that the person coincidentally obtained information about Ye Shu and decided to join the killing spree.

Initially, Gu Juexi intended to leave this matter behind him but the person didn’t seem to be stopping, so he had to get involved.

“I hope you learn your lesson. Be with me 24/7 and don’t go anywhere by yourself,” Gu Juexi chided, seizing his chance.

Ye Yuwei used her chopsticks to knock Gu Juexi’s bowl and snapped, “We are talking about the problem of your little lover, don’t change the subject.”

“My little lover is at home, let me show you her cute photos. My little lover is more good-looking than you, and also cuter than you,” Gu Juexi said while taking his phone out. His lock screen was Xixi’s photo, and he showed it to Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes then suddenly said, “Speaking of which, young man, can you treat your rival in love from your previous lifetime better? Have you forgotten what your childhood was like? Can’t you build a better father-son bond with Xicheng?”

“Don’t expect me to call you a young lady even if you call me a young man. After all, you are the mother of the young lady.” Gu Juexi put away his phone. He didn’t budge when Ye Yuwei kicked him. “The thing between me and the little meatball is different from what I went through in my childhood. Just leave us be; this is between me and my son. No matter what, he is my son, what can I possibly do to him?”

Ye Yuwei figured if she kept this conversation going, she would die of frustration.

“Xicheng is just like me when I was young so I can tell what’s on his mind. It’s not affection that he needs from me, like the affection that I give Xixi. His future achievements will definitely surpass mine,” Gu Juexi said nonchalantly, yet there was pride in his voice-the pride of a father for his son.

Ye Yuwei glanced at him as she ate. Although a verbal duel would always occur whenever the father and son were together, Ye Yuwei knew that Ye Xicheng had an admiration for Gu Juexi that he didn’t want to reveal.

She always believed that Gu Juexi only adored their daughter, but now, she was convinced that Gu Juexi’s gratification towards his son was much greater than his daughter.

He didn’t know how to express it, but he was very proud of his son.

Ye Yuwei could comprehend that much.

“Actually, children need compliments and encouragement. Your compliments carry a different weight than mine,” Ye Yuwei stated, “Xicheng never says anything, but I know he is always waiting for your recognition.”

Gu Juexi froze, stunned. Then he shook his head and refilled Ye Yuwei’s bowl with vegetables. “It’s not time yet. Let’s eat.”

Ye Yuwei sighed inwardly. Did he have to look for the perfect timing to compliment his own child?
