Chapter 827: The First Rule of Self-Preservation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What was the most important thing that she could not let go of?

He and their two children.

“Xicheng and Xixi,” Ye Yuwei replied. She intentionally left Gu Juexi out of it.

There was a long pause, then Gu Juexi said quietly in a threatening tone, “I’ll give you one chance to think again.”

Ye Yuwei burst out laughing at his reaction. Since he had just scared her to death, she had no intention of granting his wish.

Their car disappeared into the night. Ye Yuwei did not know nor did she want to know what happened to the people behind them.

The car arrived at J City. Gu Juexi asked Ye Yuwei to go and collect their flight tickets the minute they got down from the car, and he emphasized that only two tickets—their tickets—were to be collected.

PA Wen was momentarily stunned.

Xiao Yaojing sneered in irritation, “Mr. Gu, doesn’t it affect your conscience, always being so petty?”

Gu Juexi only glared at her coldly. PA Wen hurriedly said, “I’ll go and get them.”

Ye Yuwei had retrieved the tickets and was walking back to them. She looked at Gu Juexi curiously and asked, “Why are we flying to Shennongjia?”

“I’ve contacted Mom. She will bring the children there. We’ll go first,” Gu Juexi said directly.

“Why didn’t you inform me earlier?” Ye Yuwei glared at him. She would not tolerate his bad habit of making decisions all by himself anymore.

Gu Juexi grabbed Ye Yuwei’s arm swiftly and walked into the terminal. “What is there to say? It will have the same outcome.”

“Gu Juexi, you do not respect me,” Ye Yuwei yelled in frustration but she couldn’t free herself from his grip.

“Respect? I do respect you. Very much, in fact. Do you know that you are the first person I personally booked a flight ticket for? Don’t you feel honored?”

Xiao Yaojing listened to the voices that were getting further and further away. She felt like her ears were burning. Did that guy even have any decency left?

“Hey, I’m curious. Gu Juexi is so shameless, how have you managed to work for him all this while?” Xiao Yaojing pressed PA Wen’s shoulder with her hand and asked.

“Well, I don’t usually look him in the face,” PA Wen smiled.

He did everything like a machine—bought flight tickets to B City, made a phone call to get someone to return the car then informed them that he would reimburse the cost of the car repair.

Xiao Yaojing was impressed. It seemed that the reserved Wen Tao was in fact an experienced senior with cunning skill sets.

If he didn’t look him in the face, it meant that wasn’t any of his business whether that guy was shameless or not, didn’t it?

Xiao Yaojing stroked her chin in amusement. She followed PA Wen, patted his shoulder and smirked. “So you’ve been pretending to be pretentious all along, huh.”

PA Wen asked for her ID and passed it to the lady behind the ticket counter. He replied without turning to her, “The first rule of self-preservation is to be wise and remain silent when needed. After all, no one can listen to your silent curses and it’s quite a fun way to entertain yourself.”

Xiao Yaojing gawked in awe at the man standing in front of her. She felt like she had to stop calling him a wuss, she was now seeing him from a whole new perspective.

The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was actually very intelligent. Was it because beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder?

He was a cut above the rest if Gu Juexi was not in the competition.

PA Wen returned her ID after purchasing the tickets. “Your birthday is the day after tomorrow?”

“How did you know?” Xiao Yaojing asked curiously while putting away her ID, then remembered that PA Wen had taken her ID earlier. “Do you know that what you did was an invasion of privacy?”

PA Wen remained silent on that comment. However, in his mind, a plan was being concocted.
