Chapter 142

After successfully driving away the person she hated, Bai Weijin suddenly felt better. She didn’t feel angry anymore when she looked at Gu Yeze’s poker face, and even walked at a brisk pace.

‘Is she so happy just because Tan Xin’s gone?’

Gu Yeze, who followed behind Bai Weijin, felt a little confused. It was really hard to understand women’ affairs.

“Weijin, you‘re finally home. I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

On hearing Bai Weijin’s arrival, Gu Yeyu rushed out of the ancestral house, jumped directly into Bai Weijin’s arms and gave her a bear hug.

Bai Weijin, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was still weak. As a result, Bai Weijin staggered and almost fell to the ground. In this time of crisis, Gu Yeze quickly supported Bai Weijin’s back.

“Why are you so excited all day?” Gu Yeze frowned and said in an accusing tone.

‘I’m done, my brother is angry.’

Gu Yeyu shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and looked at Bai Weijin with embarrassment.

“Weijin, I’m so sorry. I was so excited just now. But… you know the reason why I am so excited.”

“It’s ok. Of course I know.” Bai Weijin looked at Gu Yeyu with resignation. Bai Weijin not only knew the plan, but also helped Gu Yeyu to complete the plan.

Looking at his sister and wife talking about something mysterious, Gu Yeze felt jealous. ‘When do Bai Weijin and Gu Yeyu have such a good relationship?’

“All right! Come in and have dinner. Don’t just stand there.”

Grandma Gu urged again. Then all of them didn’t dare to stay outside. They went directly into the hall of the ancestral house and prepared to have dinner.

At the beginning of the banquet, Grandma Gu’s old voice rang in Bai Weijin’s ear as soon as she began to cut the steak.

“I heard that you fell ill for taking care of your father.”

Bai Weijin’s hand suddenly stiffened, and she didn’t know how to reply to Grandma Gu. Although Bai Weijin had anticipated that, she was still at a loss when it did come.

“Actually, it’s okay. I didn’t take good care of my body. I pushed myself too much.”

Grandma Gu always loved children who were filial. Although Bai Weijin seemed affected this time, it still made Grandma Gu very happy.

“I know you are a filial child, but you must take good care of your own body. After all, we are old while you are still young.”

Bai Weijin lowered her head and listened meekly. After more than ten minutes, Grandma Gu finally stopped.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Grandma Gu turned to ask Gu Yeze.

“I heard that you haven’t been home much recently. Did you quarrel with Weijin?”

Gu Yeze’s face darkened. As usual, Gu Yeze knew that Grandma Gu would ask him to do something as soon as she mentioned this.

“There was no quarrel.” Gu Yeze responded calmly, “It’s just that I was so busy with the company’s affairs, and Weijin was busy taking care of her father. So both of us were not at home.”

As for the ordinary people, such a reasonable answer would make them satisfied. However, Grandma Gu was not like them and she could easily tell that her grandson was lying.

“Well, then, you should take this opportunity to make up for the time you should spend with Weijin.”

“Why don’t you help Weijin cut the steak now?

What? Now both Gu Yeze and Bai Weijin were completely stiff.

In fact, they had not made it up yet. And now it was particularly embarrassing to pretend to be intimate.

Gu Yeze pondered for a moment, and was just about to refuse. But he remembered the lie that he just told to fool Grandma Gu.

‘Fine, I dug myself into a hole.’

Urged by Grandma Gu, Gu Yeze walked to Bai Weijin with a cold face. Then he sat down and took the knife and fork in Bai Weijin’s hand.

His every movement was graceful. He cut the steak just to the right size. Gu Yeze put the plate in place and signaled Bai Weijin to eat.

‘You seemed to be unhappy to cut the steak for me.’

Gu Yeze’s black and stony face made Bai Weijin feel a little uncomfortable, but she stopped frowning after a while.

Above all, Bai Weijin had the ultimate power given by Grandma Gu. Bai Weijin betted that Gu Yeze would have to give in.

Bai Weijin’s face suddenly turned pale, and she looked weak and said faintly, “My legs and arms are so weak that I can’t hold a knife and fork.”

“My dear husband, how about feeding me?”

‘This damn woman!’

Gu Yeze’s eyes were full of flames of fury.

Seeing Gu Yeze’s pained expression, Bai Weijin couldn’t help feeling better. ‘It’s true that turnabout is fair play.’

Now Bai Weijin felt comfortable, so she thought it was time to end the play. She didn’t want to stare at Gu Yeze’s cold face while eating, which would affect her appetite.

Just as Gu Yeze slowly picked up a piece of steak and was going to send it to Bai Weijin’s mouth, Bai Weijin suddenly said.

“I’ll do it myself. I feel like getting some strength.”

‘How dare you fool me…’

Despite the anger, Gu Yeze still didn’t dare to go too far in front of Grandma Gu. So he sat back on his seat in silence, with a gloomy face.

‘The feeling of being in power is really great.’

Grandma Gu watched their interaction, and didn’t say anything. She just looked down.

In fact, Bai Weijin knew well the meaning of Grandma Gu’s move. It was nothing more than that she had regained Grandma Gu’s favor by accompanying her own father in the hospital.

Since Tan Xin had returned, Grandma Gu wanted to lend Bai Weijin a helping hand.

After seeing Bai Weijin’s face become ruddy again, Gu Yeze, who was sitting opposite, felt a little happier.

‘It seems that Bai Weijin is getting better.’

When this unusually embarrassing dinner was over, Grandma Gu left the table to go out for a walk. Before leaving, Grandma Gu suddenly remembered something. Then she turned her head and said to Bai Weijin and Gu Yeze.

“By the way, the housekeeper is not here today and no one cleans up the room. So, there is only one vacant room left. You two have to make do with it for the time being.”

Before they could say something, Grandma Gu left.

So? Did they have to sleep together tonight?

Actually, Gu Yeze and Bai Weijin had been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time in their villa.

The two looked up at each other at the same time, and there seemed to be extraordinary chemistry.

“I hope you can behave yourself.” said Gu Yeze coldly.

“You, too.” Bai Weijin was not to be outdone.
