The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

In the hotel room, Ye Yuwei leaned on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“So how did you come to be?” Ye Yuwei mused. There was a crucial piece to the puzzle that they had yet to figure out.

The most important but also the funniest part of the relationship correlation chart—Gu Tianmu did not know Ye Di.

A man who was a complete stranger to Ye Di was the main character in this affair.

Nalan Chunbo was standing like a statue by the window, overlooking the street. His tightly clenched fists reflected his tense demeanor.

Ye Yuwei received nothing but silence from him. She lowered her gaze to her hands; the hands that a man held on to yesterday, but had let go of now.

She did not have the courage to take his hands again.

She knew that despite being the most innocent player in this horrible game, she was also the most expendable.

Her only offense was being the daughter of Ye Shu.

Besides that, she had absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

Ye Yuwei jumped when Nalan Chunbo’s phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and answered the call, “Hello—”

“Gu Tianmu is coming after your sister, hurry and get her away! That bastard Gu Juexi is crazy! He wants me to be the sacrificial lamb if anything happens to her! I’m heading to the US now. Until then, take care of your sister, or that nutjob will hunt both of us down.”

Nalan Chunbo glanced at Ye Yuwei as she looked at him cluelessly.

“Let’s go, hurry,” Nalan Chunbo huffed. He pulled Ye Yuwei to her feet swiftly and exited the hotel.

However, Gu Tianmu was one step ahead of them. The minute they stepped out of the hotel, Gu Tianmu approached them.

Nalan Chunbo pulled her behind him, shielding her with his body. He stared at the man who was standing with his hands behind his back.

Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Tianmu. His expression was sullen and hostile; it felt like she was looking at Gu Juexi all those years ago when he avenged his comrades.

There was a stark similarity between father and son.

“Where is Ye Shu?” Gu Tianmu asked lowly. His dark eyes locked on Ye Yuwei, and his gaze was colder than Gu Juexi’s.

Ye Yuwei gently pushed Nalan Chunbo aside and confronted Gu Tianmu. “If I know where my father was, I wouldn’t be standing here right now.”

“You have a lot of nerve,” Gu Tianmu sneered spitefully.

“No, I don’t.” The man who would have had her back was not here anymore. “I know what you’re going to do but before I die, I have to know why you want to kill me.”

“Weiwei—” Nalan Chunbo called out in concern, grabbing her wrist.

Ye Yuwei ignored him, locking her gaze on Gu Tianmu who could strike her at any second. She said fiercely, “Gu Tianmu, your hate for me is simply an excuse for your cowardice. You don’t have the courage to face your decades of evasion, so you target all your hate and injustice at me.”

As she was speaking, she approached Gu Tianmu, one step at a time. “You do nothing but escape and avoid, you don’t even have the courage to confess your love! Now you realize it’s another person’s circumvention for all the things that you have hated and escaped from, but you have forgotten that it is all because of your cowardice! It is—”

Slap—

Before she could finish, Gu Tianmu slapped her across her face.

Ye Yuwei blinked. She was not sure how hard he had slapped her, but she could not feel her face at the moment. She looked up at Gu Tianmu, her ears buzzing from the impact. She could not even hear Nalan Chunbo shouting behind her.
