The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei turned around and saw the little girl in her grandmother’s arms. She frantically waved at her mommy, wanting to be in her embrace.

Ye Yuwei reached and carried her daughter, pressing kisses onto her little baby’s chubby cheeks. “Did you miss me?”

“Mommy, Xixi missed you so so much! I missed you until I got sick.” Xixi’s arms were wrapped around Ye Yuwei’s neck tightly and her mouth was planting kisses all over her mommy’s face.

Ye Xicheng was excited to see his mommy, but his expression changed the moment he saw Yuan Mo.

At that moment, Yuan Mo had his gaze on Xixi. His lips were curved into a tender smile and his large eyes were warm and kind.

“Ok, that’s enough, no more kissing.” Ye Yuwei tilted her head backward to avoid her daughter’s kisses. “Mom, how was the journey? Did the kids behave themselves?”

“They were such darlings. Xicheng was very obedient and well-behaved, he even helped me to look after Xixi. Where is Juexi?” Wen Jie asked in concern when she noticed her son’s absence.

“Master Yao Lao kept him at the house for acupuncture because his body had blood clot problems, but he is fine,” Ye Yuwei explained to ease off her worry.

She put Xixi down and took the luggage from Wen Jie. “Yuan Mo, please lead the way with the brother and sister, will you?”

“Okay,” Yuan Mo responded instantly, his gaze still fixed on Xixi. “Hi, my name is Yuan Mo.”

“My sister is fine.” As if to display his authority, Ye Xicheng held Xixi’s hand and pulled her closer to him. Yuan Mo was taller than them, so Xicheng had to strain his little neck up to look at Yuan Mo.

Yuan Mo did not expect to be taunted. His elfin eyes shifted thoughtfully but he composed himself with a smile and said, “Little brother is exactly like Uncle Gu, they are both so charming and smart.”

Ye Yuwei was speechless.

“This child is so sweet, whose child is he?” Wen Jie smiled and asked.

“He is Master Yao Lao’s neighbor’s kid; his grandfather helped prepare all of Xixi’s medication,” Ye Yuwei explained.

“Mommy, we are paying for the medication,” Ye Xicheng interjected hastily. He hated the way that boy was looking at his sister.

Ye Yuwei smiled in amusement. Desperate times called for desperate measures. At last, the moment had come for Mr. Gu and his son to become allies.

“Thank you, big brother.” Xixi was a sucker for good-looking, fair, and handsome big brothers. She reacted excitedly to Yuan Mo’s presence.

Ye Xicheng frowned, frustrated with his flighty sister.

“Brother, let Brother Yuan Mo hold me, let him hold me,” Xixi shouted. She immediately ran to stand in between Ye Xicheng and Yuan Mo, one hand holding her brother, the other holding Yuan Mo.

Alright, mission accomplished.

Ye Xicheng’s expression turned gloomy. When he saw Yuan Mo’s delighted expression, he almost let out a frustrated growl.

Ye Yuwei and Wen Jie looked at each other and smiled faintly at the scene, amazed at the jealousy from the boys for a little girl.

On the way back, Ye Yuwei explained Wen Jie’s current condition and treatment. Wen Jie was rather tranquil about her condition. “It doesn’t matter if there’s a treatment or not, I am delighted to stay here for some time. There have been too many rotten problems lately, I am exhausted.”

There were too many rotten problems lately?

Ye Yuwei was stunned at the statement. “Mom, what is going on?”

“Nothing, drive carefully.” Wen Jie patted Ye Yuwei’s hand and turned around to look at the three children sitting in the back. “It’s good timing to stay here with Xixi.”

Yuan Mo heard her and his big eyes widened in excitement. “Xixi will be around for a long time?”
