The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Having to enter the office today, Gu Juexi got up to get ready after his son took his wife away.

Ye Yuwei went back to her bedroom after entertaining the little one and saw Gu Juexi brushing his teeth with his left hand. She walked up to him and rolled up his sleeves so that they didn’t get wet as he washed up.

“I must have owed you a lot in our past lives,” Ye Yuwei remarked as she reached for her toothbrush.

“Is Xixi awake?” asked Gu Juexi while brushing his teeth.

“Not yet,” Ye Yuwei said and glared at Gu Juexi, “can you care about your son more? Even I would get mad if you keep this up.”

Gu Juexi looked at the woman who bent over to brush her teeth and didn’t know what to say. Hadn’t he been thinking of ways to please his son?

Gu Juexi wisely stopped messing with his wife after seeing that she was getting angry for real.

He was surprised when Ye Yuwei didn’t argue with him about their son last night and he liked it that way.

Perhaps they had both passed the age of making a fuss out of every small thing, and they had learned to put themselves in each other’s shoes before arguing.

After all, they didn’t have the luxury of time to get to understand each other more by arguing.

Just as Gu Juexi was about to use his injured hand as an excuse to make Ye Yuwei wash his face for him, their son was calling for his mother again.

“Mommy, mommy…”

“Coming,” called Ye Yuwei while throwing the face towel at Gu Juexi’s face, “wash it yourself.”

Gu Juexi was speechless. Why was he trying so hard to please that little bastard?

Ye Yuwei went downstairs and saw Ye Xicheng tip-toeing and trying to reach for the milk bottle on top of the shelf. There were two maids standing right behind him, but he refused to let either of them help.

“I can’t reach it, Mommy.” Ye Xicheng turned to look at his mother with an innocent face.

Ye Yuwei knew her own son though. She took the milk bottle off the shelf and give it to him.

“Thank you, Mommy,” Ye Xicheng took it smilingly and said, “you haven’t made milk for Sister and I in ages, Mommy.”

But Ye Xicheng had stopped drinking milk. It was Xixi who drank all the milk.

Ye Yuwei looked down at her son who was blinking his big eyes at his mother innocently.

Ye Yuwei nodded and took Xixi’s milk bottle off the shelf too. When Ye Yuwei went to make milk for her children, Ye Xicheng smirked slyly. Let that old meatball wait in the room all he wanted.

Mommy was his.

Ye Yuwei began to think that her son had been picking on Gu Juexi too much. It had started in the morning when her son would call for her for all sorts of reasons whenever she spent five minutes or more alone with Gu Juexi.

But who was to blame for that?

Ye Yuwei didn’t blame her son or Gu Juexi. She was happy to be on both sides and enjoyed watching the drama.

Ye Xicheng refused to even look at his father and focused only on his food while they were all having breakfast.

Gu Juexi seemed to have gotten used to it after being treated like this the whole morning and focused only on feeding Xixi.

“Wen Tao is on leave. Come with me to the office and…”

“Didn’t you say we were visiting Grandma in the hospital, Mommy? I am done, can we go now?” Ye Xicheng interrupted Gu Juexi and asked his Mommy sweetly.

Gu Juexi was speechless.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi who was getting annoyed then looked at her son. “We’ll go after Xixi finishes her breakfast.”

“Ye Yuwei,” Gu Juexi growled warningly.

‘Who’s to blame?’ Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi and asked silently, and Gu Juexi’s rage subsided right away. He was at fault here.
