Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nalan Chunbo was not bothered by the way Ye Yuwei stared at him and reached out to stroke her hair. “Get some rest. The gate is closed and no one can leave or enter the castle now. This really could be the last time that you and Gu Juexi see each other.”

Ye Yuwei pursed her lips as she watched Nalan Chunbo leave.

She had no idea what it meant by closing the gate, but she could guess from Nalan Chunbo’s words that the first patriarch only ordered to close the gate because he knew that Gu Juexi was here.

The room arranged for Ye Yuwei was a guest room next to Bai Ying’s bedroom. Ye Yuwei was wide awake in her room and began to wonder if she had made the right decision.

The Bai family’s fortress was in pin-drop silence at midnight. Ye Yuwei went to the window when she heard a noise. Before she could reach the window, it was opened from the outside and a man who was wearing the mask of Yan Feng swung in – it was Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi reached out to pull Ye Yuwei into his arms the moment his feet touched the floor, and all his stress instantly subsided.

Ye Yuwei hugged Gu Juexi back while looking at his face. “Should I really not have come, Gu Juexi?”

Gu Juexi kissed her lips and took her to the bed. “I got the distribution map thanks to you.”

For the first time, Gu Juexi did not blame or scold Ye Yuwei but complimented her instead.

After all, he wouldn’t have found the distribution map if it weren’t for Ye Yuwei risking her own safety to buy him more time.

Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank when Gu Juexi complimented her. She was already prepared to get a scolding since Gu Juexi never approved of anything she did.

Now that Gu Juexi had complimented her, Ye Yuwei didn’t know how to react.

Gu Juexi raised his brows and looked at the woman who was staring blankly into space. “But there will be no next time,” Gu Juexi murmured as he kissed Ye Yuwei again.

Of course... it wouldn’t be Gu Juexi if he didn’t lecture her.

Ye Yuwei adjusted her emotions quickly.

“My brother said that no one could get in or out of the castle after the gate is closed. How will you send the distribution map then?” asked Ye Yuwei nervously, “and I am sure that the first patriarch only closed the gate because he knew you are here.”

“The last time they closed the gate was for Master Bai’s funeral. There must be a way since Ye Shu managed to send you away back then,” said Gu Juexi. He knew that the gate was closed when he couldn’t send the distribution map to Yu Jiangqing, and that was what made him rush to the lobby. If he didn’t, no one would have been able to help him, not even Bai Ying.

“What was Qian Yikun trying to do?” Gu Juexi asked unhappily, cradling Ye Yuwei’s face to look into her eyes.

Ye Yuwei was speechless at the way that man could get jealous anytime and anywhere.

Do you realize our current situation, Mr. Gu? How can you be jealous at a time like this?

“What about Qian Yikun?” asked Ye Yuwei innocently. She did not do anything to Qian Yikun other than be rude to him.

Ye Yuwei might not have noticed, but Gu Juexi knew that Qian Yikun was protecting Ye Yuwei.

He didn’t need another man to protect his wife.

How ridiculous!

“Stay away from that cunning Qian Yikun,” Gu Juexi said with a cold smile, deciding that he needed to have a talk with Qian Yikun.
