Knowing that it was not a good time for hanky-panky, Gu Juexi controlled his thoughts.
“Say what exactly is on your mind and don’t keep me guessing,” said Gu Juexi, “haven’t we learned from our miscommunications?”
Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a moment. She was distracted by the naughty things Gu Juexi did, and was too afraid to speak in case anything she said might give her current emotions away.
“You shouldn’t pick on me all the time,” said Ye Yuwei disgruntedly.
Gu Juexi did not say anything. He almost blurted out that it was because he couldn’t stand her stupid brain, but swallowed his words.
“Fine, I will try my best not to,” Gu Juexi compromised. “What else?”
Ye Yuwei found it hard to answer when Gu Juexi asked the question with a straight face.
She was clueless too about the problems between Gu Juexi and her. She couldn’t tell what it was – insecurity or fear? She feared that she might get hurt for the second time if she fell for him again.
Once bitten, twice shy; that’s probably what she was feeling now.
Knowing that they should talk about it and settle things once and for all, Ye Yuwei took a deep breath before her confession.
“You left me the day after we got married. I went to school the next day and couldn’t wait for classes to be overthinking that I would get to see you after class. Yaojing said that I was too obsessed with you, but I didn’t care. When classes were finally over, I went home only to find the house empty. I waited for you on the third day, the fourth, the fifth, until it was three months after our marriage. You never came home, not even once. You refused to pick up my calls and refused to see me when I went to see you. I neglected my studies and was suspended from my scholarship. That was the first time that I didn’t get the scholarship,” said Ye Yuwei softly.
Gu Juexi was stunned and stopped his hands from teasing Ye Yuwei.
He had not thought about Ye Yuwei even once during the first three months of their marriage, he admitted it.
“You were extremely impatient every time I called, so I stopped calling because I didn’t want you to hate me more. I started to call PA Wen to remind him that you should eat and rest on time. I knew PA Wen could definitely take better care of you than I could, but I insisted on calling so that I could hear about you from him,” scoffed Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi lowered his gaze and drew back his hands that were on Ye Yuwei’s waist, clenching his fists.
Ye Yuwei was right again.
“I troubled PA Wen to inform me beforehand if you were coming back. I would take my day off to go to the market for the freshest ingredients and learn from auntie Qian what your favorite dishes were. I waited for you, I looked forward to you coming back home, but the only thing you would do whenever you came back was…” Ye Yuwei hesitated, her hands on Gu Juexi’s shoulders and her eyes looking into Gu Juexi’s. “Satisfy your sexual needs.”
“Ye Yuwei, I…” Gu Juexi tried to defend himself.
“You were home four times during the three years of our marriage, and the only interactions we had were all in bed. I wished I could talk to you, but you would either sleep or go to the study after each session. You wouldn’t say even one word to me,” Ye Yuwei interrupted before Gu Juexi could say anything, “they said that I was as good as your personal prostitute, I guess they were not completely wrong after all.”
“No…” Gu Juexi wanted to clarify that that wasn’t what he meant. It was true that he neglected Ye Yuwei during their marriage, but he never thought that she was just a personal prostitute.
“I know you didn’t mean all those things. As PA Wen said, you never had another woman. But did you know, Gu Juexi? I…”
