Chapter 1929: Waiting
Lu Qichuan walked them to the exit of the hospital. Ye Xicheng sighed softly. “Godfather, I’m sorry. I won’t be so rash in the future.”
Lu Qichuan squatted down and patted Ye Xicheng’s little head. “It’s only right for you to protect your little sister. However, before you start hitting people, you should think about whether you should really do it.”
Ye Xicheng nodded with a serious expression on his face.
“Godfather, I’m sorry,” Xixi said softly. “I’ll give Lil Sis Sichen whatever she wants to play in the future.”
Lu Qichuan smiled and stood up to look at Ye Yuwei. “Time to head back. It’s not a big deal.”
Ye Yuwei nodded. She was mentally prepared to be put in a difficult position, but she did not expect that person to be Lu Qichuan.
He was the same Lu Qichuan who would indulge her unconditionally no matter what happened.
Gu Juexi’s car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and it was the first scene that he registered. He strode over and lifted Xixi. “What happened?”
Lu Qichuan shrugged slightly and finally said, “It’s no big deal. It’s just a fight between children. It’s already settled.”
Gu Juexi looked down at Ye Xicheng. “Xicheng hit Sichen?”
Ye Xicheng straightened his neck subconsciously to look at Gu Juexi. “I don’t hit girls.”
“No, it’s just a conflict between children.” Lu Qichuan patted Ye Xicheng’s head. “I was just worried that it wouldn’t be safe for Yuwei to drive alone. Bring them home now that you’re here, alright?”
Gu Juexi nodded. “What was that on the news last time? Have you been targeted too?”
“Targeting me? Do they think they’re that capable?” Lu Qichuan scoffed.
“You better be careful. Some local tyrants won’t care about their lives,” Gu Juexi warned.
Lu Qichuan nodded and agreed.
Ye Yuwei still could not shake off her curiosity after leaving with Gu Juexi.
“What’s there to look at? He’s gone.” Gu Juexi carried Xixi and placed her in the back seat. He turned around and turned Ye Yuwei’s head around too.
“I feel like I haven’t seen Big Brother Lu in a long time.” Even though they lived in the same villa area, they managed to always miss each other.
Gu Juexi laughed coldly. “Do you think it’s a pity?”
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, yes. I feel that it’s a pity, okay? Why isn’t Tan Chenxiao back?” Ye Yuwei said as she reached out to open the passenger door.
Before she could do that, Gu Juexi reached out and pinned his arms against the car door. “I don’t think it’s a good thing for Tan Chenxiao to return. Before he lets you go completely, that is.”
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi, who stared back at her. “I know how Old Lu is like, and I know that he’s been searching for you for many years. I’m not denying that he was the first one to find you.”
“Gu Juexi—”
Ye Yuwei wanted to say something else, but Gu Juexi pressed her lips with his fingers. “However, even if he was the first one to find you, I would never let you go.”
Ye Yuwei was not sure if this was considered a confession, but if there was something she was sure about, it must be the little bit of unexplainable hurt she felt.
She did not want to end up like this, but there was nothing she could do.
“What can I do?” Ye Yuwei raised her head and looked at Gu Juexi helplessly. She did not want to be like this. She did not want to keep being in someone else’s debt.
Gu Juexi opened the car door and pushed Ye Yuwei inside. “Don’t do anything. Wait for Tan Chenxiao to come back willingly.”
Ye Yuwei was at a loss for words. What she did not know was that she would have to wait for another 20 more years.
Nobody knew if that man who was as reliable as ink on paper waited for Ye Yuwei or Tan Chenxiao. Whoever it was, he waited for more than twenty years just like that.
