Gu Juexi stroked his wife’s head lovingly. He surveyed their surroundings again, estimating how long they would take to cross this forest to their next destination.
“I’m worried about Mom. Xixi and Xicheng too, do you think they’re okay? We’ve been away for too long,” Ye Yuwei muttered in dismay as she lowered her gaze.
Gu Juexi was more concerned about Gu Tianmu. He could see how seriously injured Gu Tianmu was despite only glancing at his injury.
“There will be people there once we cross this forest, we’ll get in touch with them once we’re there,” Gu Juexi remarked and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Gu Juexi, are you really not going back?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly.
Gu Juexi could tell what she meant.
He sat next to her and leaned against a big tree. “Sometimes it’s not up to me to make that call.”
Ye Yuwei tilted her head and gazed at him. “You’ve never forgotten any of these skills. Although you are very successful in the business sector, you mostly command while PA Wen executes all your plans.”
Gu Juexi played with the branches on the ground silently and ignored her.
“Whether it was the Bai family matters, or the Gu family, or Cheng Jie’s, you’re always getting involved and putting yourself on the frontline. You are behind the scenes doing business, but on the battlefield, you’re always the first to charge to the frontline. Do you still not get it?”
Deep down, he loved the place and the status; his actions and agility said it all.
Gu Juexi continued fiddling with the branches. His head hung low, indicating his repulsion towards the question.
Ye Yuwei had said everything she could. She knew how much those people valued him, but the thing he could not relinquish was the gossip and the looks people gave him after the incident.
There were no other noises besides the sweet sounds of nature in the forest. It was such a rare and precious opportunity for them to sit down and talk heart-to-heart in this beautiful and serene place.
Despite the dangers lurking in every corner, they felt at ease and safe. Sometimes, natural disasters were simpler and more benevolent than man-made fiascos.
Gu Juexi looked up, rested his head against the tree trunk and said faintly, “That place is just a form of sustenance. Even if I can’t go back, I’m still me.”
The soul of a soldier was far more important than the uniform.
“Ready to be called in for duty in national emergencies,” Ye Yuwei muttered under her breath. It was the regulations and motto that every veteran adhered to.
Upon the remark, Gu Juexi stroked her hair and looked at her tenderly. “Which is why it’s not necessary for me to wear the uniform to realize my dream. I won’t go back; that is a fact, so you can stop lobbying for them.”
Ye Yuwei leaned on his shoulder. Nothing needed to be said as she already knew the answer.
Gu Juexi stretched out his arm to embrace her. He looked up at the sunshine penetrating through the leaves and suggested, “Are you hungry? I’ll find something to eat.”
Looking at the trees, Ye Yuwei shook her head and said, “It’s really beautiful here. It’s a mysterious beauty that is filled with unknown dangers.”
There was no deception, no conspiracy; even the danger was straightforward and natural without any mind games.
“Do you want me to buy it for you?” Gu Juexi arched an eyebrow and asked in an intrigued tone.
Ye Yuwei was dumbstruck as the bossy CEO character appeared out of the blue.
