The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei greeted Master Yao Lao who nodded at Ye Yuwei with a fan in her hand. It seemed like the old lady couldn’t sleep because of the hot weather, but at the same time she wouldn’t let Gu Juexi install an air-conditioner in her room.

Ye Yuwei stayed in the yard to talk to Master Yao Lao after the two of them finished washing up.

“How is my mother’s condition?” asked Ye Yuwei while fanning herself with a fan.

“She is fine. Looks like those people didn’t mean to kill her back then. A slightly larger dosage would have killed her,” said Master Yao Lao while smacking a mosquito.

Gu Juexi stopped on his way back to his room and turned to look at them.

“Or maybe that person didn’t know,” said Ye Yuwei softly. After all, it was likely that Wen Lan was not well-versed in medicine.

“Your mother wouldn’t have suffered so much if the dosage was slightly lesser, not to mention having to have a liver transplant,” said Master Yao Lao as she looked up at the gloomy sky. “Let’s go in, it’s going to rain soon.”

“Do rest early,” Ye Yuwei nodded and said.

Gu Juexi had headed back to their room when Ye Yuwei got up from the bench. He was lying on the bed and staring blankly into space by the time Ye Yuwei came into the room.

Ye Yuwei closed the door behind her. She looked at the anti-mosquito lamp placed at the corner to make sure that it was still working before crawling into bed. “A penny for your thoughts?”

“Nothing,” said Gu Juexi as he pulled the blanket over his daughter properly then reached out to feel the little girl’s temperature. Gu Juexi’s mind was at ease after making sure that Xixi’s temperature was normal.

“Xin Cheng Energy is a mess. Gu Enterprise will be in debt if you continue to delay the resort opening,” said Ye Yuwei after switching off the lights and pulling her son into her arms.

“It’s not that bad. You will know what is going on in Xin Cheng Energy by tomorrow, and a short delay for the resort opening wouldn’t cost much,” said Gu Juexi, one hand cuddling his daughter and the other under his neck, “I am just wondering who Wen Lan sent right after her operation to inject that serum into my mother with the exact dosage for her to suffer for the rest of her life.”

“Could it be a coincidence?” asked Ye Yuwei curiously.

“Don’t worry, I was probably just overthinking. Let’s sleep,” Gu Juexi sighed and said.

Ye Yuwei was exhausted after a long day and fell asleep quickly while cuddling her son.

Gu Juexi sat up in bed and kissed Ye Yuwei’s forehead after tucking her blanket in properly.

“I just hope that it wasn’t what I thought,” Gu Juexi mumbled, but Ye Yuwei was already sound asleep.

Xixi’s condition had been stable for the fifth day now.

Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei couldn’t stop worrying about Xixi. Yuan Mo continued to bring a new toy every day, turning Xixi into an obedient patient.

Although Gu Juexi and Ye Xicheng disliked Yuan Mo, they had no choice but to let him stay.

Ye Yuwei believed that both father and son had never felt so depressed.

On the bright side, Gu Juexi’s wounds were healing much faster than when he was in B City, including the ones on his back. Ye Yuwei could feel that Gu Juexi had almost completely recovered because he started to act cheekily again.

He would stay by Ye Yuwei’s side even when she was doing the laundry, and he would stick with Ye Yuwei no matter how hot the weather was.

“You got a message from Xiao Yaojing,” said Gu Juexi while hugging Ye Yuwei from behind with his chin on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and his hands on her stomach.
