The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

After Ye Yuwei applied the medicine on Gu Juexi’s wounds, she reached for the medicated ointment on the table and climbed off his thighs. She removed the bandage and massaged his arm with the medicated ointment, a skill she specially learned from the doctor.

“You really are Gu Tianmu’s son. The both of you are covered in wounds. The difference is that he did it for his wife and son, while you did it for me. I think when Gu Tianmu regains consciousness, he’ll probably blame me for this,” Ye Yuwei chuckled while continuing to massage his arm.

Gu Juexi’s expression darkened upon hearing Gu Tianmu’s name.

“The feelings you experience when your son treats you indifferently is probably the same as Gu Tianmu’s. I think you should have an open conversation with Gu Tianmu when he comes to. He is a victim too.”

Gu Juexi pulled his arm away childishly when Ye Yuwei continued the topic.

Ye Yuwei shot Gu Juexi a cold look and grabbed his arm to continue massaging it.

“How innocent can he be? If he had his own suspicions, why didn’t he pursue them?” Gu Juexi sneered.

“Can you not get so defensive everytime Gu Tianmu’s name is mentioned? Gu Tianmu is in this state because of Mum and you. You only dare say this because you know he is not in critical stage anymore. It’ll be too late to regret it if he doesn’t survive this.” Ye Yuwei abruptly increased the pressure on his arm. “I don’t even have the opportunity to clarify things with my father now.”

Gu Juexi’s arm was hurting but he was taken aback by Ye Yuwei’s words. He reached out and gently held Ye Yuwei’s delicate hand that was covered in the ointment.

Ye Shu’s death was unexpected. They had been waiting for his appearance but were finally told that he had passed away.

It was as if Ye Yuwei was given hope that she had clung on to but found out that it actually didn’t exist at all.

“Gu Juexi, I’m telling you the truth. Don’t wait until you’re like me and realize you regretted it all. He is still alive and you should be grateful for that.” Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi earnestly. “I hope that you will have a conversation with him and not be so defensive.”

“Do you think I’m still in need of a father’s love now?” Gu Juexi murmured.

“Honestly speaking, do you feel good when your son treats you coldly?” Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s hand, not allowing him to avoid the topic.

Gu Juexi’s arm tensed slightly. “Go take your shower and sleep.” Gu Juexi let go of Ye Yuwei’s hand.

Negotiation failed. Ye Yuwei didn’t pursue it. She sighed and put the medicated ointment away before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

Gu Juexi unconsciously gripped his own arm as he watched Ye Yuwei walk into the bathroom. It was as if he was trying to numb his feelings through physical pain.

By the time Ye Yuwei was done with her shower, Gu Juexi had tidied up the room. The room was sprayed with air freshener. Although the smell of the medicated ointment still lingered in the air, it wasn’t as pungent as earlier.

Ye Yuwei climbed onto the bed and eagerly burrowed into Gu Juexi’s embrace. “So are you attending the university’s anniversary?” Ye Yuwei clambered onto Gu Juexi and turned off the bedside lamp on his side before returning to her side of the bed.

“I’m still considering it.” Gu Juexi gave an ambiguous answer as he was still thinking of a way to execute his plan. The wedding proposal she wanted was really going to be one-of-a-kind.
