Chapter 1062 - You Have The Right to Be Childish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Crayfish was a stimulating food that would trigger shang huo 1, so Gu Juexi didn’t allow Xixi to eat too much of it.

The moment Gu Juexi put his chopsticks down, Ye Xicheng hopped off his chair and sprinted to the kitchen. A few seconds later, he came out with a new pair of chopsticks that he slapped onto the table on Gu Juexi’s left side, then he quickly hopped back onto his seat.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi were both surprised and impressed.

Even at such a tender age, Ye Xicheng was precise and observant. He knew Gu Juexi’s right arm was injured, so he placed the chopsticks on his left side despite having to make a slight detour.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Xicheng resumed his dinner with downcast eyes and mumbled, “I’m doing this for mommy because she has to look after you if you get sick.”

Stubborn little boy.

Gu Juexi picked up the chopsticks and looked at his son who was eating his rice hurriedly. An indescribable feeling bloomed inside him.

It was warm and soothing as it enveloped Gu Juexi and invigorated him.

The boy was definitely stubborn— a cookie-cutter stubbornness that his father had given him.

It wasn’t the first time that Gu Juexi felt like this. His son opposed him all the time, but he also genuinely cared for him.

He was proud of him.

Gu Juexi lowered his gaze as he held the chopsticks. What about Gu Tianmu? When Gu Juexi looked at him in adoration and craved his attention, did he feel the same pride?

Ye Yuwei was passing a dish to her son when she caught Gu Juexi’s despondent look. She looked up and said, “If you can’t figure it out, why don’t you go and ask him yourself? After all, we found out the main culprits were Wen Lan and my aunt, so he is also a victim, isn’t he?”

“Nonsense! If he just believed my mum, things would not have ended up this way!” Gu Juexi was agitated listening to Ye Yuwei defending Gu Tianmu.

Gu Juexi’s voice was loud and it startled the people in the dining hall.

Xixi looked at her daddy, confused and frightened.

Ye Yuwei picked a clam from its shell and put it on Ye Xicheng’s plate. “You can always find an excuse to hate him, but do you want your son to do the same to you?”

“Ye Yuwei, why do you always take his side?” Gu Juexi grimaced in dismay. It was not the first time Ye Yuwei had done this.

“You are being too childish,” Ye Yuwei remarked in a stern voice.

Ye Xicheng raised his gaze to his mother. Ye Yuwei reached over and stroked his head tenderly. “You are still young, you have the right to be childish.”

Ye Xicheng found his mommy’s statement disagreeable.

Gu Juexi snarled furiously at Ye Yuwei but she just scoffed.

She admitted that this was not the first time she had defended Gu Tianmu. She used to talk about how Gu Tianmu was innocent and Gu Juexi had almost fought with her on several occasions when she did.

She considered herself rather gracious to Gu Tianmu. She still took his side after everything he had done to her.

Undeniably, there was an obvious change in Gu Juexi’s attitude too. Back then, he would simply walk away when a fight occurred between the two of them, but now he was simply huffing in exasperation but he did not leave his seat.

They had been through a lot of ups and downs, so they understood each other’s limits. Ye Yuwei didn’t push him to the point where they would quarrell in front of the children and Gu Juexi understood her intention, so both of them decided to put their debate on hold.
