Chapter 1643: Hubby, Who Is This Gentleman?
Ye Yuwei looked at the man standing next to her. Gu Yuexi’s reaction had given her the answer—the man before her was none other than the infamous Ye Cong.
Being in his default indifferent setting, Gu Juexi was not showing much of an expression on his face.
“My expression should’ve told you that you’re not welcome here,” said Gu Juexi nonchalantly. His voice was without any hint of emotion.
Ye Yuwei lowered her head and drank the water from her cup, maintaining the silence that was expected of her.
At a time like this, there was no need for her to speak. Moreover, this Ye Cong was not someone she wanted to come into contact with.
Yet, if Ye Yuwei wanted to hide, others might not necessarily let her.
“This must be Mrs. Gu. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Ye Cong lowered his gaze to look at Ye Yuwei—who was avoiding eye contact as usual—with a faint smile dancing at the corner of his lips.
Ye Yuwei looked up. The first person she saw was not Ye Cong, but Gu Juexi.
“Ye Cong, I believe the rules of minding our own business are still there, right?” Gu Juexi said. His words pulled Ye Cong’s gaze back to him.
There was a smile in Ye Cong’s eyes as he looked at Gu Yuexi with an expression that implied the opposite. “If Mr. Gu remembered our agreement, why did you interfere in my matters?”
An interrogation! It was obviously an interrogation!
Ye Yuwei could not help but shiver at the coldness in Ye Cong’s voice. Gu Juexi remained seated in his default indifference.
She spun the cup in her hand. Ye Yuwei felt that if she tilted her hand ever so slightly, the water would overflow.
“What did I do? Where’s your proof?” Gu Juexi looked up at the man standing beside Ye Yuwei.
These words shocked Ye Yuwei because as far as she could recall, Gu Juexi never lied.
However, today Ye Yuwei realized that she would have thought so because while lying, Gu Juexi sounded as convincing as he was when telling the truth.
Being sandwiched between two world-class bosses, Ye Yuwei regretted her suggestion to eat out. How was this considered eating? It was clearly her who was getting eaten up.
“I heard that Mrs. Gu and Mo Fei are rather close.” Ye Cong looked at Ye Yuwei again, but this time, his gaze was not as piercing as he did with Gu Juexi. It sounded like a casual question.
Ye Yuwei looked up and suppressed her guilt. “Hubby, who is this gentleman?”
Ye Yuwei asked innocently as if she really did not know who this person was.
At this point, it could be said that no one could compare to this couple when it came to lying.
“A passerby,” Gu Juexi explained as he watched the waiter serve them food.
There was no outstanding expression on Ye Cong’s exquisite face, but when he looked at Ye Yuwei, his eyes were somewhat unreadable.
When Ye Yuwei looked up, her eyes met his. Her grip on the cup tightened.
Ye Cong quickly retracted the look in his eyes. “Then, I won’t disturb Mr. and Mrs. Gu from eating, but I hope Mr. Gu will be able to hide her forever.”
Gu Juexi did not speak. As Ye Cong was turning around, his eyes were fixated on Ye Yuwei. Ye Yuwei did not look up but she subconsciously felt that Ye Cong was staring at her, as though he was in slow motion. Ye Yuwei had no idea why.
After Ye Cong left, Ye Yuwei turned around to look at the man’s leaving figure. As far as she could remember, this person had never existed in her memory. Therefore, Ye Cong was probably just suspecting her.
“He’s already gone, why are you still looking at him?” commented Gu Juexi sourly. Right now, Gu Juexi no longer needed to maintain a reputation. With that, he could be jealous whenever he wanted to.
