On the crest, there were two gold lines and a star insignia.
Ye Xicheng’s little hands held the crest and looked at the person inside.
“Xicheng, return it to Grandpa,” Gu Juexi said in a deep voice.
Ye Xicheng ran over to the officer. “Grandpa, here you go.”
The old senior officer lowered his gaze to Ye Xicheng’s tiny face, smiled and squatted down. He placed his hands on Ye Xicheng’s small shoulders. “Do you know what this is?”
“Major general’s insignia,” Ye Xicheng answered earnestly.
The old senior officer laughed heartily. “Do you want it then? Grandpa will give it to you.”
“Mummy said if I want something, I must earn it with my own strength and capabilities. I will not take this,” Ye Xicheng replied, “Grandpa, I will return this to you.”
“This belongs to your dad, you keep it for him.” The senior officer stroked Ye Xicheng’s head. “You keep it on your dad’s behalf. When you’re older, Grandpa will give one to you.”
Ye Xicheng turned and looked at Gu Juexi who was lying on the bed before lowering his head and looked at the crest and raised his hands again. “He doesn’t want it.”
The corners of Gu Juexi’s lips curved upwards. This was his son indeed.
“Brother, brother, give it to me, give it to me.” Xixi loved shiny golden things and she reached out to take the crest.
Gu Juexi smacked his forehead. Ye Yuwei looked at the man behind her and smirked. This was his lover in his previous life, his darling in this life. This little girl could get him to do things that even she couldn’t get him to do.
“Xixi, don’t take it, Daddy will buy you another one,” Gu Juexi spoke hastily.
“I want it, I want it,” Xixi shrieked and gripped her brother’s arm in an attempt to take the crest. “Brother, please give it to me.”
The senior officer stood up, smiled at the ruckus, then turned to look at Gu Juexi. He was determined to give the crest to him.
“I’m a handicapped person. You intend to waste those wages on a useless person like me?” Gu Juexi asked indifferently.
The senior officer’s expression changed slightly.
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze to Gu Juexi. Although Gu Juexi’s right hand could perform daily functions normally, it couldn’t return to its previous state. For Gu Juexi, it was as good as useless.
“Your contribution cannot be brushed aside. The organization is recommending your name regarding the Bai family’s matter. I know you have some objections regarding the army, but the credit belongs to you. Gu Juexi, your name has been recommended for a special award, whether or not you return to the army.” The senior officer turned around and left.
During peaceful times, recommendations for second-ranked awards were difficult enough, what more a special award.
Gu Juexi furrowed his brows at the man who had just walked out of the room and turned to look at his daughter who was grinning from getting the crest. That darling of his could not be reprimanded or punished. No matter how he looked at her, she was truly adorable.
Butler Kim placed the food container on the table. He knew the temperament of his young master. “I haven’t dared bring up the thing that Mistress asked this morning.”
“Thank you, Butler Kim,” Ye Yuwei said gratefully. “I will be able to return tomorrow. Did we have any visitors recently?”
“No,” Butler Kim sighed, “But Old Master Wen called a few times looking for Mistress, and from her expression, I think Old Master Wen wasn’t bringing good news.”
As Butler Kim spoke, Gu Juexi embraced his daughter who had climbed onto the bed, his expression dark.
