Chapter 1281: Missing Him?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xiao Yuan had been working for Wen Jie for decades, and they were like sisters, so naturally Wen Jie would let Xiao Yuan take the day off to settle her affairs.
After Xiao Yuan had informed Wen Jie, she went back to her room to pack her bags. Ye Yuwei was holding on to the mischievous Xixi to make her sit down and eat her dinner. The little rascal had declared that since she was attending preschool, she didn’t need the baby chair anymore, so Ye Yuwei had dismantled it.
Without the baby chair, Xixi was a handful at mealtimes.
Xixi took a few bites before getting off the chair to play. “If you don’t eat now, there won’t be any food left for you to eat later,” Ye Yuwei scolded.
“I don’t want to eat. I’m full.” Xixi dragged her playhouse out and started to play with it.
Ye Yuwei kicked Gu Juexi as he got up, intending to carry his daughter back to the table. “She’ll get hungry in a while.”
“Let her be hungry then. She won’t die from missing a meal,” Ye Yuwei scoffed and stopped Gu Juexi from going over. Children would get the idea they could eat at odd hours if they weren’t disciplined.
Her father could pacify her at home, but who was going to coax their daughter at school?
“Ye Yuwei, are you her stepmother?” Gu Juexi mocked.
“Then, are you going to find her biological mother for her?” Ye Yuwei retorted.
Gu Juexi kept quiet.
“Alright, you listen to Weiwei. Weiwei knows better when it comes to handling children.” Wen Jie stepped in to speak for Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi was still worried about his daughter.
“Little darling, come here and eat your dinner,” Gu Juexi called out to his daughter, who was playing happily on her own.
“No. I’m full already,” Xixi replied without turning to look at Gu Juexi, occupied with the doll in her hands.
Ye Yuwei grinned smugly. Gu Juexi looked down at his daughter’s bowl and saw there was at least half a bowl of rice left.
Why was it so difficult to handle kids?
Ye Yuwei was true to her word of not allowing Xixi to eat. Before bedtime, she informed all the maids and servants to not give Xixi any food.
Xixi didn’t complain of any hunger before bed, so Gu Juexi felt reassured.
When Ye Yuwei returned to the room, Gu Juexi had already taken his shower and was reviewing documents.
“How long has Wen Tao been away for?” Gu Juexi broke the silence.
“More than a week, I guess. Why? Missing him already?” Ye Yuwei mocked and took her pajamas into the bathroom.
“Only a week?” Gu Juexi gasped. He felt as if Wen Tao had been gone forever.
‘Is this what it feels like to have a capable assistant?’
When said competent assistant took emergency leave, he felt as though he was struggling through mountains of work.
CEO Gu was really missing Wen Tao right now.
Ye Yuwei paused in her tracks when she reached the bathroom. She turned around and looked at Gu Juexi. “CEO Gu’s dejected expression seems like confirmation for your longing for PA Wen?”
“Go take your shower. Are you waiting for me to join you?” Gu Juexi looked up at Ye Yuwei and smiled wickedly. He was more than willing to do so.
Ye Yuwei cursed before turning around and going into the bathroom.
Gu Juexi laughed as he saw the bathroom door being locked. He placed the laptop on the table and quickly went to the children’s room. His little girl was sleeping soundly.
As Gu Juexi left the room, he saw Gu Tianmu was sitting in the living room downstairs. He hesitated briefly before deciding to go downstairs.
Gu Tianmu was staring into space. Gu Juexi walked to the seat opposite Gu Tianmu and sat down.
