The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei sat beside her son, amazed by her daughter’s unlimited tears and huge lung capacity.

On the contrary, Gu Juexi was composed and lenient. He held his daughter in his arms and gently consoled her without a hint of impatience or annoyance.

“Mommy, I think Baby Sis can start a career in acting.”

“…and win an Oscar for best actress?” Ye Yuwei hugged her son and asked amiably.

Ye Xicheng nodded approvingly.

Little Xixi cried for a good half an hour more in Gu Juexi’s arms until she slowly fell asleep.

If it was up to Ye Yuwei, she would have scolded Xixi, even smack her a little. Thanks to the loving father who was consoling her gently and endlessly, Ye Yuwei couldn’t raise her hand against Xixi.

Once Xixi had fallen asleep, Gu Juexi put her on the bed carefully and pulled his shirt out of her grasp.

Ye Yuwei knew without a doubt that Gu Juexi had never treated her as gently as that. Sure enough, the little girl had softened her daddy’s heart.

After Ye Yuwei instructed her son to take good care of his sister and grandmother, she left with Gu Juexi.

Ye Yuwei was driving while Gu Juexi was worrying about his daughter crying upon waking up.

“Why not stay back and accompany your daughter? It would have been great,” Ye Yuwei blurted out. She would never admit it but she was jealous.

Gu Juexi tutted and leaned back in the seat, frowning. Ye Yuwei stole a worried glance at him. “Are you okay?”

“I’m good.” Gu Juexi shook his head. His back was hurting after carrying his daughter for so long.

Due to Xixi’s shenanigans, they had to change their flight ticket to 2 pm. By the time they reached Feng County, it was already 6 pm. PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing were waiting for them at the airport.

Gu Juexi strutted stylishly even though he had serious injuries on his body. He looked nothing like a man who had almost died just a few days ago.

They traveled light since they didn’t plan on staying long. They packed two days worth of outfits for each person in one backpack.

PA Wen took the lead and opened the back door for Gu Juexi. “CEO, we will reach Feng County at around 10 pm, so I made an appointment to see the old uncle tomorrow afternoon.”

Gu Juexi got in the car and nodded in approval.

Xiao Yaojing and Ye Yuwei walked to the backseat. Xiao Yaojing hugged Ye Yuwei by the neck and asked, “I thought your guy was on the brink of death? Why do I feel like he can even conquer Jingyang Ridge ¹ with ease?”

“To kill a tiger?” tutted Ye Yuwei and took off the backpack. “How is it between you two?”

Just as Ye Yuwei finished asking, Xiao Yaojing pushed her into the back seat of the car. Gu Juexi’s face turned gloomy instantly, so Xiao Yaojing retracted her hands quickly. She went to get into the front passenger seat.

PA Wen trembled nervously. How did this woman manage to provoke their hard-to-please CEO whenever he was not looking? A grenade might fly her way if this went on.

“PA Wen, pass me the water please,” requested Ye Yuwei. She retrieved a small box filled with Gu Juexi’s medicine from her bag.

PA Wen passed the water over and started the car engine. “CEO, Madam, I’ve booked a hotel room for you here. Why don’t you stay here tonight, and we will head over to Feng County tomorrow morning? The lodging there is—”

“Go there directly. Now.” Gu Juexi took the medicine from Ye Yuwei and swallowed it in one go.
