Chapter 894: Consensus

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moonlight had painted the night bright with a hint of cold in the wind.

Ye Yuwei sat on the stairs and rested her head on Gu Juexi’s shoulder. “In the earlier days, you were scared that you would harm me when you lost control. That’s why you drove me away from you, wasn’t it?”

Gu Juexi remained silent.

“Your mother eloped with my father, that’s why Gu Tianmu neglected you. It all happened because of my father,” Ye Yuwei uttered softly.

Gu Juexi remained silent.

When he first learned about the incident, he thought about rage, he thought about cutting ties with Ye Yuwei, he even thought about shifting his hatred onto Ye Yuwei.

He would have pushed her completely out of his sight if he did not experience the six years of despair and misery.

Six years. The kind of despair that made you lose all hope to live and kicked you when you fell. The kind of despair that no one would understand unless they experienced it first-hand.

He could not go through the despair of losing Ye Yuwei for the second time, so the only thing that he could do was let her go.

“You are too sensitive, you would tell the world that I bullied you if I said something harsh. Your heart is so fragile it’s like it’s made of glass,” Gu Juexi sighed, enduring the pinching pain on his shoulder.

She turned her head so that her forehead was on his shoulder and pulled his sleeve to wipe away her tears. “You don’t sound like a bossy CEO right now,” said Ye Yuwei in a hoarse tone.

“What is a bossy CEO? Do I have to blame it all on you and hurt you until there isn’t one piece of skin left whole? Is that what you mean by being a bossy CEO?” Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to Ye Yuwei and reached out to hold her hand. “I can’t say it’s not possible if those six years never happened. But it did, and if I still behave so childishly after that, that’s not being a bossy CEO— that’s pure stupidity.”

Ye Yuwei agreed. It was still acceptable to be with a man who had learned from his mistakes and was willing to mend things; the most horrifying kind of men were the ones with a short memory.

“I think the best thing that we can do now is to let your parents confront each other.” Ye Yuwei sat upright and looked at Gu Juexi.

“Mom wouldn’t have waited until today if she intended to talk things out. I think it’s better if we contact Nalan Chunbo first, he must have known something about this matter,” Gu Juexi said.

“But—” Gu Juexi reached over to hold Ye Yuwei’s hands. “We have to make a consensus between us before we proceed.”

Ye Yuwei was confused.

“Number one: regarding this matter, our objectives are to investigate and clear things, it is not for us to turn into enemies. So no matter what happens, we cannot go off the rails and have a fallout.”

Ye Yuwei pondered, “Sometimes, we can’t control the emotions.”

Gu Juexi suggested, “When you think it’s out of your hands, take time for yourself. That’s what I do and it works.”

Ye Yuwei acknowledged his suggestion with a nod.

“Number two: no matter what happens, we have to trust each other wholeheartedly. When we hear something from someone else, we discuss it and decide its credibility.”

Ye Yuwei nodded despite feeling skeptical.

“Number three, and also the most important: please don’t run away and vanish no matter how difficult things have become,” said Gu Juexi in a serious tone. He could not bear the emotional distraught ever again.

Upon hearing the remark, Ye Yuwei felt like her heart was being squeezed painfully.

“I have only one request: no matter what happens, I want you to stay alive,” Ye Yuwei said it word-by-word while looking deep into Gu Juexi’s eyes.
