The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Gu Juexi tried to move his right hand but to no avail. He couldn’t do anything other than hold on, so pulling Ye Yuwei up the ladder was definitely out of the question.

“Since when do you listen to what I say? Why didn’t you go back to B City when I told you to then? You are just going to come and go as you want,” said Gu Juexi through clenched teeth.

The tsunami was right behind them now.

Mo Fei let out a curse and tried even harder to pull up the rope ladder.

Gu Juexi noticed the tsunami too, and realized that none of them would be able to make it if Qian Yikun continued to fly at this speed.

“Speed up, Qian Yikun,” yelled Gu Juexi who relaxed his left hand that was grasping the rope ladder briefly then gripped it hard again.

Qian Yikun hesitated when he heard Gu Juexi, though he knew that everyone in this helicopter would be sacrificed if he didn’t go faster

He was Gu Juexi—the legend. He should trust his decisions.

Gu Juexi heard Ye Yuwei screaming and lowered his head to look at her. “I realized that I wouldn’t have peace of mind unless I had you next to me. If I can’t live in peace without you, I might as well die with you.”

“Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei lifted her head to look at Gu Juexi, “are you really not going to let go?”

“Never,” said Gu Juexi who appeared to be in a better mood now. The rope ladder began to sway more violently as the helicopter sped up, causing Gu Juexi’s right hand to strain even more. “Are you not happy that I am willing to die with you?”

‘Happy my foot!’ Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and thought. She knew that Gu Juexi would have gotten into the helicopter if it weren’t for her.

She knew Gu Juexi well enough to know how stubborn he was and how he really might not let her go despite his struggle to hold onto the rope ladder, so she reached out and tried to make Gu Juexi let go.

To her surprise, before her hand could even touch Gu Juexi’s, Gu Juexi let go of the rope ladder.

The tsunami finally caught up. The helicopter had sped up and ascended to a height that was right on top of the tsunami waves, and both Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei disappeared beneath the ferocious waves.

“Wei Wei!” Nalan Chunbo screamed. He would have jumped off the helicopter if it weren’t for Mo Fei pulling him back.

“Wei Wei, Juexi,” Wen Jie ran across the helicopter to the door but Mo Fei had closed the door to avoid losing any more of them.

She had seen Gu Juexi let go of the ladder voluntarily, and all Mo Fei wanted to do now was curse. Was this really a good time to die for love?

“Wei Wei, Juexi…” Wen Jie was leaning against the helicopter door and staring at the roaring sea that the tsunami has raced across. But there was no one.

“No, no, no…” Not being able to accept what just happened, Wen Jie shouted hysterically. Nalan Chunbo reached out to catch her when she almost fainted.

Qian Yikun flew the helicopter out from the danger zone while recalling what Gu Juexi said to him earlier.

[If the tsunami comes, leave no matter who doesn’t make it into the helicopter.]

Qian Yikun clenched his fists. Gu Tianmu was badly injured and needed to be treated immediately, and there were also others in the helicopter. He had to decide what was best for everyone.

Gu Juexi must have been prepared to not get into the helicopter when he told him those words even after knowing that he would be the last to climb the rope ladder.

Qian Yikun thought about it while flying the helicopter out of the danger zone determinedly.

Meanwhile, the sea had become calm and quiet after the tsunami, as if nothing had happened at all.

The other two men that were on the rope ladder earlier had disappeared into the sea too.
