The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“Don’t think too much about it, it has nothing to do with you. What happened between Tan Chenxiao and I shouldn’t be your concern,” Lu Qichuan answered with a smile on his face.

Ye Yuwei looked at Lu Qichuan getting into his car and heaved a sigh. Knowing that there was nothing she could do, she crossed her arms and watched Lu Qichuan drive off in his car. Ye Yuwei looked at Auntie Mao’s tomb and saw Gu Juexi still sitting in the same place.

Gu Juexi sat in front of Auntie Mao’s tomb until dusk.

Meanwhile, PA Wen had reached Xiao Yaojing’s apartment. He got down from his car and went straight up to her unit.

Xiao Yaojing was lying on the sofa idly. It was not easy to find a job these days, especially for people like her who didn’t want to start their career afresh.

Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. Or to be more accurate, banged on her door.

“Who is it? What kind of person bangs on someone’s door?” Xiao Yaojing yelled as she got up from the sofa. She switched off the television on her way to the front door.

“Why are you banging on my door? What if you break my door?” Xiao Yaojing yelled as she opened the door and the first thing she saw was PA Wen’s handsome, panting face.

Xiao Yaojing was stunned.

PA Wen was bending over slightly, one hand on his hip as he tried to catch his breath.

Xiao Yaojing looked at her apartment’s lift that was out of service. She lived on the twenty-eighth floor so how had this man come to her unit?

By climbing the stairs?

“What?” Xiao Yaojing asked as she looked at PA Wen cluelessly. PA Wen took a deep breath and stepped forward to trap Xiao Yaojing in between his arms against the door. “I came to tell you, Xiao Yaojing, that from today onwards, I, I…” PA Wen began to stammer as he confessed his feelings.

Xiao Yaojing took the chance when PA Wen stammered. He dared push her against a door like this? She held PA Wen’s wrists, hooked her leg around his…

And PA Wen was on the floor . ¹ He had fallen so hard he was seeing stars.

“What is wrong with you? Keep your hands to yourself!” Xiao Yaojing took a step back and stared at PA Wen who was lying on the floor.

PA Wen continued to lie there, seeming to have given up trying to get up.

What was wrong with him to have a crush on a woman like this?

It was Xiao Yaojing’s sassiness that he liked though, probably because that was what he didn’t have in him.

“Are you dead?” Xiao Yaojing asked as she looked down at the man who was still lying on the floor, then bent over to help PA Wen up. “You are so weak for a man. It was just a kick.”

PA Wen was speechless and began to doubt if Xiao Yaojing really was a woman.

Xiao Yaojing helped PA Wen up from the floor. PA Wen could feel a small bump on his head when he reached out to touch his head.

“What were you saying earlier? Can you say it properly this time?” Xiao Yaojing asked after helping PA Wen to a chair, then went to the kitchen to get some water.

Not wanting to say anything at all at this time, PA Wen forced a smile on his face. He was certain that if he did tell Xiao Yaojing what was on his mind, Xiao Yaojing would throw him from the twenty-eighth floor without a second thought.

Xiao Yaojing came out of the kitchen with an iced towel and put it on PA Wen’s forehead.

“Gently, gently! Are you a woman or not?” PA Wen complained.

“So what if I am not? It is none of your business,” Xiao Yaojing said angrily as she pressed the towel even harder on PA Wen’s forehead. “What were you telling me just now?”
