The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“Yu Jiangqing is married?” Ye Yuwei dropped her jaw. She had no idea despite being back for such a long time.

Gu Juexi stretched out his hand and closed her jaw before continuing, “He’s already in his 40s, what is he going to do besides getting married? Become a monk?”

“What kind of woman can handle someone like Yu Jiangqing?” The gossiper inside Ye Yuwei flared up, a smile spreading across her face as she questioned Gu Juexi.

“Probably someone as silly as you,” he replied in a flat tone and slowly laid down.

“Gu Juexi, this answer is unreasonable and you know it,” Ye Yuwei spoke, sounding frustrated.

“Enough, why do you care so much about other people’s families? Come and sleep with me, I’m tired,” Gu Juexi demanded, though he already had Ye Yuwei in his arms. He was indeed tired, mentally fatigued even.

Ye Yuwei was about to say something, but the other one that laid down had already drifted off into slumber. Knowing that he had spent the entire day fighting with other members of the Gu family, Ye Yuwei did not have the heart to interrupt him, thus she rested against his chest and closed her eyes, following him to dreamland.

Gu Mansion.

Since Xixi took a nap during the day, she was not sleepy at the moment and was currently playing with her toys on the bedroom carpet. On the other hand, Ye Xicheng was sitting beside the bed and reading a book while keeping an eye on her sister.

“Brother, do you love me?” Xixi questioned innocently for the umpteenth time while playing with her toys.

“Yes,” Ye Xicheng answered while scanning through the pages.

“Then please get me an apple, your beloved sister wants to eat one,” Xixi requested with a sweet smile on her face.

Ye Xicheng went quiet.

‘Is it too late to say I don’t love you?’

Yet if he told her the opposite, the little gremlin would throw a tantrum that would shake the land and sea, and that was why Ye Xicheng had no choice but to stand up to get the requested fruit.

“Do you want to eat anything, Grandma?” Ye Xicheng asked their grandmother who was also reading in another corner.

Wen Jie stared at her obedient grandson, knowing what had happened. Despite that, if her not knowing about things could bring her grandchildren ease, then she was willing to play dumb.

“What do you want to eat? I can notify someone to bring it for us,” Wen Jie said, her book already put down as she was about to call Butler Kim.

“It’s fine, Grandma, I can go downstairs and take it,” Ye Xicheng quickly replied. “When Mommy wasn’t here in the past, I took care of Xixi too.”

Wen Jie’s gaze followed Ye Xicheng until he exited, then it fell on Xixi who was playing with her doll while humming a nursery rhyme. She was not Ye Yuwei, even though she did not have a father yet as a mother she had taught her children well.

Ye Xicheng returned with his sister’s apple, and even a packet of strawberries for his grandmother “Butler Kim told me you like these.”

Wen Jie stretched out her arms and gave Ye Xicheng a hug, further planting a light kiss on his cheek.

A bright grin appeared on Ye Xicheng’s face as he looked at his grandmother, a gentleman he sure was.

“I wish you and your sister will forever be happy.”

“Grandma, you’ll be happy with me,” Ye Xicheng lowered his voice and said seriously. He sputtered sugary sweet words to his mother at a young age, which contributed to his splendid act.

“Haha, my sweetheart… Alright, I’ll be with you always.” A deep chuckle rumbled from Wen Jie, who was tickled by her grandson’s cuteness, not to mention his adorable little voice.

“Grandma, you have to be with me too!” Xixi whined in displeasure. She got up immediately and pushed her brother away while squeezing herself in their grandmother’s arms.

That little tyrant!

“Fine, I will follow—”

“Mistress, a phone call from Master.” Xiao Yuan entered, standing at the door.
