<h4> Chapter 258: I Like You (2)</h4>


    At that very moment, Gu Xue was like a godsend to Xu Wei.


    She had been worrying about whether the night would pass peacefully. Gu Yu seemed angry for some unknown reason, and she was afraid he would torment her again…


    If she went to keep Gu Xuepany, that would be a legitimate reason to avoid Gu Yu!


    Xu Wei nodded her head readily, “Sure! Of course, I’ll keep youpany, especially given how frightened you are! You’re my most important witness now! I need to take good care of your wellbeing!”


    Xu Wei then turned around. She saw Gu Yu’s dark expression and soldiered on. Weakly, she said, “Gu Yu, I… I’ll be sleeping in the guest room tonight…”


    Without waiting for him to reply, Xu Wei dashed out of the room and pulled Gu Xue along with her.


    –


    Gu Yuid on the big bed, tossing and turning restlessly. He stared at the empty side of the bed, and the look in his eyes darkened.


    What was it she said again? She had to take care of Gu Xue’s wellbeing? What about him? Didn’t his wellbeing need to be taken care of as well? Gu Xue was simply her witness. He was her husband!


    Gu Yu felt his temper rising. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and the anger was quickly suppressed.


    He could clearly see that Xu Wei was trying to escape from him, but… he could no longer bring himself to treat her unscrupulously and brazenly.


    Xu Wei was afraid of him. He, on the other hand, was afraid of Xu Wei being afraid of him.


    That night, Gu Xue did not make Xu Wei sleep on the couch. Instead, she pulled her on the bed. The bed was huge and had more than enough space to amodate both of them. However, Gu Xue was being clingy and snuggled up to Xu Wei as she slept.


    Xu Wei had learned of her personality. Towards people she didn’t like, Gu Xue acted like a spoiled little princess. However, towards those she was fond of, she relied on them and trusted them wholeheartedly.


    Her actions reminded Xu Wei very much of her cute little brother, and hence, she indulged her.


    The night grewte.


    The door to the guest room was pushed open again, and the towering figure walked in. When he saw the two individuals snuggling together in bed, he frowned and clenched his fists tightly. The next second, he held Gu Xue by her shoulders, and mercilessly pushed her to the other side of the bed.


    Following that, he pulled the quilt high and wrapped it tightly around Xu Wei, with her limbs firmly tucked within, in order to avoid Gu Xue rolling over and hugging her arm again.


    He sat by the edge of the bed and gazed at Xu Wei who was fast asleep. He could feel his heart beating. Finally, he no longer felt like a mere shell of a person.


    –


    When Gu Xue awakened, she saw an unread message on her cell phone. When she opened it to read it, her face fell.


    The sender of the message was Gu Yu, and there were only six words—It’s time for you to scram!


    As always, he was sinct and left no room for doubt.


    Even though Gu Xue was unwilling to leave, she didn’t want to be at the mercy of Gu Yu’s anger and left voluntarily.


    After Gu Xue showered and changed her clothes, she went to the dining room to partake in herst breakfast with Xu Wei and brought up the fact that she wanted to go home.


    Xu Wei had very much wanted Gu Xue to stay for a few more days, but she couldn’t force her either, and replied, “Would you like me to send you back?”


    “That’s not necessary. My chauffeur ising to pick me up.”


    After a pause, Gu Xue couldn’t restrain herself and proceeded to give Xu Wei a tight hug. Sincerely, she said, “Thank you, Wei. Also, I like you!”


    The young girl was very clear about her emotions. Xu Wei smiled at her and hugged her back.


    Gu Xue turned her head to the side and brought her lips close to Xu Wei’s ear. After a moment’s hesitation, she opened her mouth, and said a few words…
