Chapter 695: Our Lives Belonged to Each Other

Ye Yuwei was completely clueless as to who that person could be and whether that person had shown up in front of her before.

But she couldn’t panic; Gu Juexi had left so many responsibilities to her. He felt confident enough to leave everything behind and went to the Bai family’s fortress alone because he trusted her, just like how he trusted Yu Jiangqing back then.

He left her with everything of his and that was a huge amount of trust.

Ye Yuwei began to wonder if she could actually take care of everything that Gu Juexi trusted her with.

“Just let me know if there is anything that I can help with,” said Yu Jiangqing.

Ye Yuwei was still leaning against the door as the rain poured down. “How did you trust Gu Juexi so much back then?”

Yu Jiangqing’s mind went blank for a second but he understood the question right after.

He also understood what was on Gu Juexi’s mind—he was no longer the person that Gu Juexi trusted the most, Ye Yuwei had replaced him.

“We were comrades who would sacrifice for each other. Our lives belonged to each other so I was sure that he would be careful with mine. Why should I be worried?” Yu Jiangqing asked smilingly.

Our lives belonged to each other.

Was that what Gu Juexi thought too?

“How conceited,” Ye Yuwei scoffed, but deep down she knew that Gu Juexi was just confident in himself.

Yu Jiangqing shrugged and put his hands in the pockets of his uniform. “The captain said he is saving the position of major-general for Gu Juexi, so please convince Boss to join the army when he comes back, Yuwei.”

“Major-general?” Ye Yuwei could tell how important that position was even though she was not in the army, but Gu Juexi had left the troop for almost twenty years.

“Let Boss tell you about it when he is back,” said Yu Jiangqing while looking at Ye Xicheng who was standing nearby. “Join the army if you want to beat your dad, there were records of his that no one could break,” Yu Jiangqing called out then stepped out into the rain.

Ye Xicheng looked at Yu Jiangqing’s distant figure and then looked at his mother.

The army, the major-general, and the records that no one could break.

Ye Yuwei was looking at her son too. She and their two children were waiting for him so Gu Juexi would definitely come back.

“Who gave you the courage, Gu Juexi? Was it Pink?” Ye Yuwei mumbled. Gu Juexi had left just like that and placed everything including his life on her shoulders.

“Mommy.” Ye Xicheng ran to his mother and hugged her leg. “Will he come back?”

“Of course. How else would you beat him?” Ye Yuwei stroked Ye Xicheng’s hair.

Ye Xicheng nodded with a serious face and prayed deep down for Gu Juexi to come back safely. He would give up forcing them to divorce if Gu Juexi would come back safely.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei was in charge of Auntie Mao’s wake. Gu Juexi was not around and Wen Jie was not feeling well so she was the only person who was left to do it.

Ye Yuwei went downstairs after tucking her children in, and saw Butler Kim looking at Auntie Mao’s picture and sighing.

“So she’s gone.” Butler Kim let out another sigh and said, “Auntie Mao was the only person in the Gu family who would protect mistress.”

Ye Yuwei stared at Auntie Mao’s picture. Her smile was so vivid in the picture, just like how she would smile when she was alive.

Auntie Mao was the person who treated her the best after she and Gu Juexi got married. She always said that Ye Yuwei was the one who could bring Gu Juexi happiness.

“Has anyone come to see Auntie Mao, Butler Kim?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly. She hoped to find out if Auntie Mao decided to tell the secrets herself or someone actually did something that was beyond her tolerance, forcing her to tell the secrets.
