The figure had gone far away. Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to check on Ye Yuwei who was still shaken by the incident. He pulled her and started to walk away from the alley. “How many times do I have to tell you? Don’t go to crowded places! Do you just use your ears to put on earrings?”

Ye Yuwei staggered as Gu Juexi pulled her. She had to adjust her posture to keep up with his pace.

But when did he say such a thing?

“Your ears are for earrings,” Ye Yuwei grumbled.

Gu Juexi stopped at once, turned around and pinched her ear. “Your ears are bigger than mine, you can wear more earrings than I do.”

“You are so annoying!” Ye Yuwei struggled to push his hands away. “What just happened?”

“What happened? Someone wants you dead, that’s what.” The fear still lingered in Gu Juexi’s mind. When he thought it through, Ye Yuwei was not the type of person who would make enemies.

“Someone wants me dead? Impossible! I’m not you,” Ye Yuwei exclaimed in surprise. Then, she glanced at Gu Juexi’s face that had slowly turned dark.

The battle of verbal taunts between husband and wife. Neither was willing to give in to their opponent.

“Then who pulled me?” Ye Yuwei could sense that the person who pushed her was not the same person who pulled her, and that person was not Gu Juexi because she was hurled into Gu Juexi’s embrace at the end of the incident.

Gu Juexi was equally curious. He was certain that the back of the person that he saw did not belong to Ye Shu. He seemed to be taller than Ye Shu, but he was definitely there to rescue Ye Yuwei. If he managed to rescue her at the right moment, it could only mean one thing—the person had been following her all this time.

He was there on a covert mission to protect Ye Yuwei.

There was only one other person in this world who shared the same objective as him, and that person was Ye Shu.

“He must be blind,” Gu Juexi said flatly, and brought Ye Yuwei to a hotel that looked more superior than the one they stayed in.

It was unacceptable for him to eat at a stall by the roadside!

Ye Yuwei sneered, “Yes, I agree. Your enemy turned to me as his target, he is definitely blind.”

Gu Juexi could only glare at her. Ye Yuwei had won this round.

Gu Juexi ordered a few simple dishes. The only benefit of a big hotel was that it was less crowded during non-peak seasons.

Ye Yuwei was a little upset at not being able to snack on the local delicacies, but the incident had made her nervous.

“If I continue to be with you, will there be more danger in my life?” Ye Yuwei cupped her chin in one hand and squinted at Gu Juexi who sat across her.

“Your life will be in more danger if you aren’t with me! The whole world knows about our relationship,” Gu Juexi laughed grimly.

“Gu Juexi, do you do this on purpose? Do you hate me so much?” Ye Yuwei snorted irritably.

“Yes, I am doing this on purpose so that you have to stay with me forever and ever,” Gu Juexi declared, grabbing her hand and looking at her lovingly.

Ye Yuwei blinked. Gu Juexi had won this round.

Her inner romantic had been revived.

Right before the classical love song started playing, her hand was pushed away. “So you better hurry and hold on tight to your Prince Charming.”

Ye Yuwei was dumbfounded.

‘I had a forty-foot long sword ready and I allowed you to get a head start at thirty-nine feet.’

“Gu Juexi, is the skin on your face made of the Great Wall? Are you Qin Shih Huang ¹ reincarnated? I think you might even defeat Lady Meng Jiang ² in weeping at the Great Wall,” Ye Yuwei mocked him grudgingly.

Gu Juexi leaned on the chair and looked at Ye Yuwei with a devious smile. “So? Do you covet Zhen’s ¹ empire?

Ye Yuwei laughed at the comment. She swirled the glass in her hand playfully and said, “Your empire will eventually go to your son. There were empress dowagers in each and every dynasty and generations, but not for Taishang Huang ¹ . So eventually, this empire will be in Ai Jia’s ² hand.”

1. Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of a unified China and the founder of the Qin dynasty.
2. The tragic story of Lady Meng Jiang talks about the separation of she and her husband for building the Great Wall. She heard nothing after his departure so she set out to bring him winter clothes. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the Great Wall, her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she wept so bitterly that a part of the Great Wall collapsed, revealing his bones.
3. The first person pronoun for the emperor, functioning as an equivalent to the “Royal We”
4. Taishang Huang is an honorific of retired emperorship, the title for the emperor’s father
5. The first person pronoun for empress/empress dowager
