Chapter 1397: Fulfilling Her Dream

“Wah!” Xixi looked up at the sky and shouted in awe when she noticed the bright moon. She reached out towards it, eyes sparkling.

Gu Juexi chuckled and carefully put Xixi down.

“This is the first place I came to in China but back then, this place was barren. That old geezer, the man who was our MC today, put me, Yu Jiangqing, and the rest of the troop here for half a year. I had to survive here for half a year on my own.”

Ye Yuwei was in disbelief. “Half a year?”

“Yep, half a year. That time, I was barely 16 years old and I had to endure a painful, wretched, miserable six months. That’s why I told myself that once I left this place, I would make this hill mine. I did exactly that,” Gu Juexi said as he turned around to look at Ye Yuwei. “I’ve always wanted to bring all of you here.”

Ye Yuwei stood in the living room and spun in a circle, looking mesmerized. “Is that the sea behind this house?”

When Gu Juexi nodded, she quickly ran to the back window and saw the vast ocean. From where she was standing, the villa seemed like it was floating on the sea. The sea gleamed under the moon’s glow.

“Mommy, I want to see, I want to see!” Xixi shouted at Ye Yuwei and held her hands up in hopes that her mother would carry her.

Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to the little boy who was standing next to him. “Don’t you want to see?”

“So… You’ve retired and started your business all for this hill?” Ye Yuwei asked, raising her eyebrows.

Gu Juexi bent over to touch his son’s head. “If Daddy says yes, would you be disappointed?”

“I will,” Ye Xicheng said honestly with a nod. It’s obvious he was telling his dad that if he were to say yes, he will definitely look down on him.

“Good, you are indeed my son,” Gu Juexi replied before straightening, not answering Ye Yuwei’s question.

“It’s gorgeous here.” Ye Yuwei stood at the window and sighed happily, appreciating the view. “Is it normally this… quiet?”

Gu Juexi walked over to the window, pulling his wife and daughter into his embrace.

“I rent it out sometimes,” Gu Juexi replied as he kissed the side of Ye Yuwei’s head, not letting her ask any more questions.

Ye Yuwei was stunned for a moment but she understood what he meant. The people Gu Juexi rented out the house to could only be of a certain caliber.

It was getting late and the children who were energetic just moments ago were now fast asleep.

After putting the kids to bed, Gu Juexi took Ye Yuwei to the top floor. It was the highest point of the hill. The floor was made of a clear glass and there were railings surrounding the area to make people feel secure.

Ye Yuwei pulled her long coat over her tighter and leaned onto the railing, allowing the cold breeze to ruffle her hair. She didn’t mind it at all.

Gu Juexi went aside, quietly lighting up the fireworks he had prepared earlier. A few seconds later, they were shooting off into the sky, exploding into brilliant sparks.

Ye Yuwei looked up, astonished.

With the fireworks lighting up the sky and reflecting off the gleaming surface of the sea, this easily became one of the most beautiful moments of her life.

After lighting up the fireworks, he looked up at the woman who was admiring the fireworks.

She had once mentioned that during her time in the orphanage, the matron would only sneak them firecrackers once every new year. She said that she had always failed to get any and could only watch people play with them from afar.

Although the devastating event that happened at the orphanage was also caused by fireworks, Gu Juexi was hoping that he could at least fulfill her dream.
