The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei gasped in shock when Gu Juexi suddenly grabbed her hand.

“It doesn’t hurt if I don’t move it,” said Gu Juexi with his eyes still closed, “what is the time now?”

“6.30,” Ye Yuwei said as she looked at the clock on the table.

“It’s still early. Let’s sleep for a little while more,” Gu Juexi murmured lazily.

Not wanting to touch his wounds, Ye Yuwei stopped moving. Gu Juexi pulled her into his arms wrapped them both in the blanket. Ye Yuwei was wrapped so tightly that she began to wonder if Gu Juexi was trying to suffocate her.

It felt good though. It reminded her that they were alive after a good night’s sleep.

She slept so well last night that she was not sleepy anymore. She stayed in Gu Juexi’s arms quietly and listened to his heartbeat.

Yes, he was alive and hers.

“Can’t sleep?” Gu Juexi finally opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms who had been fidgeting slightly.

“I am not sleepy,” Ye Yuwei said as she looked at Gu Juexi.

“Let’s do something else then?” Gu Juexi suggested cheekily and Ye Yuwei’s jaw dropped.

“Mommy…” Ye Xicheng broke into their room before Gu Juexi could even move forward.

Gu Juexi groaned loudly and fell back against the bed frustratedly.

Ye Yuwei glared at him and got off the bed after tidying her clothes. “Yes, sweetie?”

“I don’t know what to wear today, Mommy. Can you help me?” Ye Xicheng asked seriously, hands behind his back.

Ye Yuwei went to her son who stuck out his arms and asked to be carried. They were worried that the kids might need them at night, so Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi never locked their door.

Gu Juexi massaged his temples. Since when did that little brat not know what to wear?

He was doing it on purpose!

But this was his own son, the same son that he needed to please. So he would endure it.

Ye Yuwei carried Ye Xicheng back to his room. Ye Xicheng rested his head on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and Ye Yuwei didn’t put him down even when they were in his room. “Let’s not wear this since we are going to visit your grandparents at the hospital today,” Ye Yuwei went straight to the wardrobe and started choosing an outfit.

Ye Xicheng nodded, looking bored.

Ye Yuwei took out some clothes in white. The top was a shirt with buttons, while the bottom was a pair of pants. Her son would look fine in this outfit with a pair of nice shoes.

Ye Yuwei took the clothes and carried her son back to his bed and removed his pyjamas. “Are you still mad? I am sure that Daddy didn’t mean it. He knows his mistakes now.”

“You are too kind to him, Mommy,” Ye Xicheng said and hugged Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei didn’t know what to say. She wanted to tell him that he was going to spend the rest of his life with his future wife, just like how his father was going to spend the rest of his life with her. It would all make sense to him then.

But she couldn’t tell her son that yet.

“Mommy loves you the most,” Ye Yuwei assured Ye Xicheng as she helped him put on the pants.

“But I don’t like him at all,” said Ye Xicheng, his tiny hands clenched into fists.

Looks like all the effort that Gu Juexi had made so far was meaningless after yesterday night.

Ye Yuwei helped him with the shirt and said while buttoning it up for him, “It’s okay. We’ll like him only when you feel like liking him.”

Ye Xicheng didn’t say a word.

“My son must be the most handsome boy in the world,” Ye Yuwei exclaimed after tidying him up.

But Ye Xicheng didn’t seem too happy. His face was identical to the Old Meatball’s — they were equally arrogant and annoying.
