Gu Juexi looked down at Ye Yuwei as a helicopter landed in the yard of Gu Mansion.

“Did you know why I didn’t go after you the last time you walked out this door?” Gu Juexi asked suddenly.

The last time?

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi. Bai Yuyan was in this house the last time she left.

“Because Lanbo told me that Cheng Jie was going to kill Lao Bao,” said Gu Juexi as he pulled Ye Yuwei’s hand off him slowly. “I didn’t have time to go after you six years ago, just like how I don’t have time to stay here now. But I will be back, Ye Yuwei. I promise that I will be back.”

Gu Juexi walked through the door determinedly without looking back.

Ye Yuwei leaned against the door and looked up so that her tears wouldn’t fall.

Ye Xicheng was standing by the stairs and ran to his mother when he saw Gu Juexi leave the house.

Ye Xicheng stood there nervously and looked at his mother who was crying and his father who was walking away.

“Mommy...” Ye Xicheng called out softly and did it again, then ran downstairs when his mother did not respond.

Gu Juexi had already hugged and kissed his daughter goodbye by the time Ye Xicheng went downstairs.

Ye Xicheng ran towards his father quickly, and went all the way to where the helicopter had landed.

“Daddy...” ¹ Ye Xicheng called out loudly.

His loud voice was muffled by the helicopter, but Gu Juexi managed to hear it very clearly.

Gu Juexi looked at the little meatball and heard what he had always refused to call him. His lips curved into a smile as he got onto the helicopter.

The helicopter took off and was out of sight not long after.

Yu Jiangqing raced to Gu Mansion and called out for Gu Juexi loudly right after he got down from his car.

“He left,” Ye Yuwei murmured as she stared blankly into space.

“I knew it,” Yu Jiangqing cursed and turned to leave.

“Why wouldn’t Gu Juexi wait for one more day, Mr. Yu?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly.

Yu Jiangqing stopped and looked back at Ye Yuwei. “It is the patriarchs’ annual meeting tomorrow, the only chance when outsiders get to go into the Bai family’s fortress.”

“Where did Juexi go, Weiwei? What are you guys saying?” asked Wen Jie worriedly.

Ye Yuwei went downstairs and realized something on her way down. “Auntie Mao, why did you tell Gu Juexi...” Ye Yuwei burst into Auntie Mao’s room, but stopped when she saw Auntie Mao lying in her bed peacefully with her eyes closed. She looked so peaceful that it began to look unusual.

“Auntie Mao...” Ye Yuwei called out softly.

Wen Jie followed Ye Yuwei to Auntie Mao’s room and saw her standing outside by the room’s door, and saw auntie Mao who was in her bed so peacefully with her eyes closed. “Butler Kim, Butler Kim...”

Auntie Mao was gone. So quietly and peacefully, after telling Gu Juexi the story that had been in her heart for forever.

Everything had happened so quickly that Ye Yuwei found it unacceptable. She felt that her mind has gone completely blank.

Auntie Mao was gone and so was Gu Juexi.

The way each left was different, but somewhat the same in some sense.

A bad storm rolled in before night fell.

Ye Yuwei found a note that Auntie Mao left before her death when Butler Kim was arranging for the funeral. In her note, Auntie Mao mentioned that she could feel that her time was up and wrote down the things that she wanted just in case she didn’t make it to tell someone.

So why didn’t Auntie Mao take those secrets to her grave? Was it really because what Gu Tianmu did was too much?
