The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“I didn’t think that Gu Tianmu might be important to Gu Juexi, but it looks like he really cares about his father after what happened yesterday,” said Ye Yuwei while stirring her juice with a straw, “I really hope that Gu Tianmu will wake up before the proposal so that Gu Juexi can prepare for the proposal single-mindedly.”

“That’s a lot of things to ask for. You don’t even know if he is going to propose to you yet,” Xiao Yaojing continued to taunt Ye Yuwei.

“Can’t you say something nice?” Ye Yuwei reached out and pretended to hit Xiao Yaojing.

Xiao Yaojing dodged and grinned at her.

“Then again, is it really okay to leave the preparations to your mother and future mother-in-law? Won’t they fight?”

“Fight?” Xiao Yaojing scoffed, “Wen Tao and I constantly hear complaints about each other’s mother every night.”

“And you let them prepare your wedding together?” asked Ye Yuwei in disbelief.

“Wen Tao said it’s for bonding, and both of us don’t have the time to make the preparations, to be honest,” said Xiao Yaojing. She continued when the dishes were served, “we will stay at Wen Tao’s place after the wedding. My parents plan to stay in this city too, and they will live at my place. Wen Tao’s father didn’t want to live with us, so Wen Tao bought the house opposite mine for his parents.”

Ye Yuwei who was sipping her tea choked when she heard what Xiao Yaojing said.

“Did PA Wen do it on purpose?” asked Ye Yuwei. Just imagine how much drama it would spark if their mothers lived just opposite each other.

“I thought so too, but he said otherwise,” Xiao Yaojing shrugged and said. “Anyway, get my wedding present ready.”

“I want to be your bridesmaid.”

“I don’t want a woman who is in her second marriage to be my bridesmaid. Just let me have your kids to be the flower girl and page boy.” Xiao Yaojing bluntly rejected Ye Yuwei and asked for her two kids instead.

Ye Yuwei was completely speechless at how sharp-tongued Xiao Yaojing had become and focused on her lunch with her head lowered.

“You know, Gu Juexi has been talking about the proposal with no actual actions,” Xiao Yaojing looked at Ye Yuwei and said, “you are not going to compromise this time, are you?”

“He will probably propose during the school’s anniversary. He loves making everything so high-profile,” Ye Yuwei rested her chin on her palm and said while fidgeting with her chopsticks.

“Such an attention seeker,” Xiao Yaojing scoffed, perfectly describing Gu Juexi. Ye Yuwei opened her mouth to argue, but she couldn’t deny that Xiao Yaojing was right.

“You can forgive Gu Juexi if that is the case. I should have made Wen Tao do the same too. Proposing beside a lake is just too quiet. What kind of proposal has no one around to witness the event?” Xiao Yaojing asked, beginning to get angry and regretting saying ‘yes’ so easily.

“You said ‘yes’ anyway. Who else can you blame for it?” Finally, Ye Yuwei executed an attack.

The two of them argued with each other until 1pm when they finally left the restaurant. Having to head back to Gu Enterprise, Xiao Yaojing did not follow Ye Yuwei back to the bank.

Ye Yuwei sent Xiao Yaojing to the carpark and made sure that she got into her car safely.

“You agreed to let me have your kids be the flower girl and page boy for my wedding. Make sure that you don’t go against your word,” Xiao Yaojing wound down the car window and called out.

“Okay, okay, no one besides you would have the guts to get Gu Juexi’s children to be their flower girl and page boy anyway. Just go,” Ye Yuwei laughed and took a step back to make way for Xiao Yaojing.

The car was driven off very quickly, which should have said something about her temper.

Ye Yuwei shook her head and took the lift to the basement. She couldn’t help but look back, only to find the parking area empty. She really had been feeling sentimental lately.
