1112 Her Constant Compromise Doesn’t Mean She’s on the Losing End

When Gu Juexi went to their table, Ye Yuwei slammed her chopsticks onto the table furiously and pushed her food tray away. She abruptly raised to her feet, then pushed Gu Juexi out of her way and left the restaurant.

Gu Juexi was dumbfounded by her behavior. He narrowed his eyes at Xiao Yaojing with obvious rage.

PA Wen's heart was pounding anxiously. He quickly stood in front of Xiao Yaojing, blocking her from Gu Juexi. "CEO—"

"Watch your woman," Gu Juexi snarled in a chilling tone.

As he turned around, intending to walk away, Xiao Yaojing pushed PA Wen aside and glared at Gu Juexi. "Hey, Gu Juexi, do you really expect Yezi to forgive you just like that?"

Gu Juexi stopped abruptly at her remark. He turned his head to stare at Xiao Yaojing.

PA Wen felt his head throbbing and massaged his forehead miserably. He had just proposed to this woman last night. He prayed that his self-destructive CEO would spare her life as he didn't want to become a widower just yet.

"CEO, Jingjing means—"

"Wen Tao, get lost." Xiao Yaojing pushed him out of her sight, frustrated.

"CEO, she—"

"Get lost," Gu Juexi said in annoyance this time.

PA Wen was dumbstruck. He looked at his CEO and his bride-to-be—why did they want him to get lost?

PA Wen intended to pull Xiao Yaojing back to his side. When his CEO yelled at him, he subconsciously released Xiao Yaojing's arm.

Xiao Yaojing was speechless. How did she fall for such a coward?

Where was his aggressive and domineering gut? Did he leave it in his office?

PA Wen was caught in the crossfire. His self-destructive CEO was on his left and his raging beautiful wife was on his right. He felt like he was standing in the worst possible place.

Mistress, do you need someone to keep you company? Call me.

PA Wen crinkled his face in misery. He wanted to leave this place for real.

"What did you mean just now?" Gu Juexi asked coldly.

"Gu Juexi, when Yezi married you, you didn't propose, nor was there a ring or wedding photos. Moreover, she disliked the wedding arrangement too. Now that she's back, did you really expect her to forgive you and that you can move on with your life as if nothing ever happened?"

Xiao Yaojing could sense Ye Yuwei's genuine jealousy toward her proposal and her ring. Therefore, she was upset about her best friend's current circumstances.

It was true that Gu Juexi treated Ye Yuwei nicely now, but she did not get what other women were getting from their men.

Gu Juexi's expression slowly changed to a shade of darker gray at her remark.

PA Wen tugged Xiao Yaojing's arm cautiously with the intention of stopping her from talking.

"Yes, Yezi loved you first, but in a consensual relationship, there's no such thing as the one who loves the other person first losing. Her constant compromise doesn't mean she's on the losing end, but maybe you're just not that into her." Xiao Yaojing gave an indifferent look at Gu Juexi's somber face while PA Wen was tugging her arm with enormous strength.

"I don't have to disclose my feelings and our relationship status to you, and I certainly don't need your reminder in what I should do. I'll fulfill my promises to her and it's none of your business," Gu Juexi growled in a deep voice, sounding undeniably agitated.

The only reason he could face Xiao Yaojing wisely and rationally was because she was speaking for Ye Yuwei.

"You don't owe me an explanation and I don't want to remind you either. I just want you to know that it doesn't mean you can take Yezi for granted just because she had fallen for you first," Xiao Yaojing warned in her stubborn voice, fearless to Gu Juexi's sullen expression.

"CEO, Jingjing means—"

PA Wen couldn't stand the confrontation any longer and intended to intervene with a sensible explanation, but Gu Juexi had turned around and walked away.
