659 He Dashed All Her Hopes Once Again

Standing aside, Ye Yuwei watched Xiao Yaojing and Lu Sichen play the crane machine. Winning a doll from the crane machine took skills. Xiao Yaojing and Lu Sichen could only get a few dolls even though they had spent a lot of money and effort.

"You do it." Annoyed, Xiao Yaojing got up and gave her seat to Ye Yuwei.

Raising her brows, Ye Yuwei took Xiao Yaojing's seat and put her hand on the joystick.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Lu Sichen scoffed disdainfully.

Ye Yuwei was rendered speechless. The kid truly hated her.

Gu Juexi and Lu Qichuan walked over. Seeing the doll drop from the claw, he walked up to Ye Yuwei and stood behind her, placing his hand over hers on the joystick. "Idiot!"

"Hey!" Ye Yuwei protested in annoyance. Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei's hand tightly in his grip, her body enveloped in his warm embrace.

'Pfft! It's just a crane game. There is no need to show affection in public," Xiao Yaojing scoffed.

Ignoring Xiao Yaojing, Gu Juexi continued grabbing the doll in the claw machine with his hand still holding Ye Yuwei's. It was challenging for Gu Juexi as he was not controlling the joystick with his own hand, and the doll fell out of the grip on his first attempt.

"You're smart, aren't you? Grab the doll," Ye Yuwei mocked Gu Juexi.

"Shut up." Gu Juexi tapped Ye Yuwei's head.

"Stop torturing us!" Xiao Yaojing shouted.

"You don't need to be around us," Gu Juexi stated nonchalantly as he continued playing the crane game.

Hearing this, Lu Qichuan quickly held Xiao Yaojing's arms before she exploded in rage. Gu Juexi would mock his own wife; an outsider meant even less to him.

"It's late. Let me buy you dinner," Lu Qichuan said hastily.

Ye Yuwei wanted to say something but Gu Juexi had turned her head away from the both of them before she could say anything. "Why are you so excited? They are not talking to you."

"Could you please shut up?" Ye Yuwei said coldly as she stared at Gu Juexi.

Suddenly, a doll dropped out of the crane machine. Gu Juexi took the doll and threw it to Lu Sichen as he narrowed his eyes at Ye Yuwei.

"When I was silent, you blamed me for ignoring you. Now when I talk, you want me to keep my mouth shut. Women are so infuriating!"

"Please keep it down, sir."

Both Xiao Yaojing and Lu Qichuan exchanged glances as they felt that they should not be there any longer. Gu Juexi might lose the argument and no one knew what he would do if he did. Maybe he would target both of them. Thinking of that, Lu Qichuan quickly got up and carried Lu Sichen. "Brother Gu and Yuwei, we have to go."

"You are not joining us for dinner?" Ye Yuwei asked hurriedly.

Gu Juexi wanted to say something but bit back his words when his eyes met Ye Yuwei's.

Xiao Yaojing truly enjoyed seeing Gu Juexi's reactions.

"We will join you next time. I wanted to give Xiao Yaojing a treat to get her forgiveness, so we can't join you," Lu Qichuan said with a smile on his face.

Slightly startled, Ye Yuwei glanced at Xiao Yaojing. An indescribable emotion could be seen on Xiao Yaojing's face as her smile faded.

Apparently Lu Qichuan was keeping his distance from Xiao Yaojing though she had just regained her confidence and wanted to work harder this time. Lu Qichuan's words had dashed all her hopes.
