“Daddy, Daddy—” Xixi emerged from the dark and waved her little arms. Ye Yuwei held her hand and followed her as she sprinted toward Gu Juexi, afraid that she might fall.

Xixi ran to Gu Juexi, climbed on his body, and hooked herself onto his left arm like a little monkey. Gu Juexi carried her up and received a sweet kiss from her on his cheek.

“Uncle, Auntie,” Ye Yuwei greeted them politely and stood beside Mr. and Mrs. Xiao.

“Weiwei, you are here too,” Mr. Xiao said with a chuckle.

Great, with a wide audience at the scene now, it would put a halt to Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Xiao’s verbal battle as it would be embarrassing.

“Xixi was looking for her father, so I had to bring her here,” Ye Yuwei said with a calm face.

“Your children are so big now, time really flies.” Mrs. Xiao heaved a sigh. “Although Jingjing is older than you are.”

“Auntie, it would be only a matter of time before Jingjing and PA Wen get married, right?” Ye Yuwei curled her arm around Mrs. Xiao’s arm. “They’re not young anymore.”

Ye Yuwei’s impassive remark worked as it hit a sore spot in both mothers’ hearts. Xiao Yaojing would turn thirty after New Year, and PA Wen was merely a few years younger than Gu Juexi. Otherwise, Mrs. Wen wouldn’t urge her son to go on blind dates all the time.

“Anyway, I don’t think Uncle and Auntie should be too worried. They’ve been together for so many years and the only thing they lack now is the marriage certificate. Since PA Wen is on leave now, why not take this opportunity to settle it?” Ye Yuwei continued.

At this moment, PA Wen wished he could kneel in front of Ye Yuwei as a form of gratitude. This was what he had intended to do.

“Isn’t it a little too quick?” Although Mrs. Wen was envious of the little Xixi who was in Gu Juexi’s embrace, she still had some doubts about it.

“Auntie, we have to do this fast,” Ye Yuwei blurted with a feigned shocked expression. “You may not know about this, but Juexi is usually busy and PA Wen is even busier than he is. Sometimes, he doesn’t even have time to eat. This holiday has been approved because they’ve settled some major problems recently. I’m afraid PA Wen won’t have any more free time for years to come once he starts to get busy again.”

Years to come?

Mrs. Wen shuddered in shock. Her son would turn forty in just a few years. He would be so old if he didn’t get married and have children now.

Evading his mother’s sight, PA Wen gave a thumbs up to Ye Yuwei. The mistress was brilliant too.

However, Gu Juexi narrowed his eyes at Ye Yuwei. He was not as cold-blooded as she had stated.

PA Wen and Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi at the same time and had the same thought, ‘Do you check your conscience before you say that?’

Mrs. Xiao’s heart was pounding rapidly too at Ye Yuwei’s remark. Her daughter was approaching thirty years of age, and she knew full well that her daughter and Wen Tao were in a serious relationship, but it was Cheng Xin who was upsetting her.

Mrs. Xiao gazed at the adorable Xixi who was leaning against her father, her expression glum upon the scene.

Xiao Yaojing slowly shifted to stand beside Ye Yuwei and pinched her. Ye Yuwei turned around and saw her mime, ‘You can go now.’

Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes at Xiao Yaojing.

However, there was only so much an outsider could do in this situation. Things might take an unpleasant twist if they stayed on.

“Uncle, Auntie, I’ve left Xicheng alone in the room and I’ve to go check on him. We’ll go back to our room now,” Ye Yuwei said with a polite smile as she retreated from the scene. She and PA Wen exchanged glances as she was about to leave.

PA Wen put his hands together, expressing utmost gratitude to her.

Gu Juexi led Ye Yuwei away. So far, it seemed peaceful behind them.

Gu Juexi scoffed with a frown, “When has he ever been so busy that he didn’t have time to eat?”

Mr. Gu would not accept the accusation.
