The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

At her mother’s teasing, Xixi squealed in protest and ran into Gu Juexi’s arms.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei with Xixi in his arms and asked.

“Your girl was too shy to even talk in front of Yuan Mo’s mother,” Ye Yuwei laughed before going into the bathroom to wash her hands.

Gu Juexi lowered his head to look at his daughter in his arms and felt his pulse quicken.

‘What are you up to, young lady?’

Gu Juexi wanted to go to the hospital to replace Wen Jie in looking after Gu Tianmu after dinner. Having to take care of the kids, Ye Yuwei did not follow Gu Juexi.

Ye Yuwei has realized by now how good Gu Juexi was at speaking with a forked tongue. He was obviously worried about Gu Tianmu. If not, why didn’t he just hire a caretaker and save himself the trouble of going to the hospital so often? He hadn’t slept since last night, and it was not like he didn’t have the money.

That’s exactly why she said that all the men of the Gu family were the same.

Ye Xicheng who was playing on his own became curious when he noticed his mother staring at him. Why was Mommy staring at him like that?

Ye Yuwei was already feeling sympathetic towards her future daughter-in-law.

“Come here,” Ye Yuwei beckoned her son and made him sit beside her on the carpet.

“Mommy?” Ye Xicheng put down his toy and went to Ye Yuwei obediently.

“Remember this, Xicheng. Make sure you ask if you ever doubt, and bear in mind that whatever you’re thinking of may not necessarily be the truth,” said Ye Yuwei earnestly. Just look at Gu Juexi, or Gu Tianmu, they are all real-life examples.

Had Gu Tianmu asked about what he doubted back then, he and Wen Jie wouldn’t have ended up like this today.

Had Gu Juexi talked to her properly back then, what happened later wouldn’t have taken place.

So she had to make sure her son didn’t make the same mistake.

“You said it before, Mommy, and I remember it. Don’t doubt, ask. I will always remember it,” Ye Xicheng lifted his head to look at his mother and said confidently.

Ye Yuwei stopped bothering her son and let him continue playing after she got her reply.

Meanwhile at the seafood market of Qingdao, Wen Shan continued to follow Nalan Chunbo and explained to him excitedly about the city and the local foods they couldn’t get anywhere else.

“Look, king crab!” said Wen Shan excitedly as she ran towards a window to get a closer look.

“Let me buy you a king crab, Papa Nalan,” Wen Shan pointed at the king crab and said, her eyes sparkling like the stars in the sky.

Nalan Chunbo never knew that human eyes could hold the stars of the sky; so bright that he could barely look away.

Nalan Chunbo was wearing white sports attire. He looked so good that he stood out in the crowd, and there were passers-by who wondered if he was a celebrity.

Nalan Chunbo was looking at the girl who was wearing a white dress that matched his attire. Never would he have guessed that Wen Shan had changed into the white dress after she saw what he was wearing.

Wen Shan was disappointed when Nalan Chunbo kept quiet after what she said, and she slowly drew back her finger that was pointing at the king crab.

“Let’s not eat it then…” Wen Shan mumbled.

Nalan Chunbo felt his heart clench when Wen Shan suddenly looked so disappointed. Before he could say anything, a middle-aged lady tried to convince him, “the king crab here is one of the cheapest you will find, young man. Treat your girlfriend if she feels like eating it.”

The lady thought that Nalan Chunbo was just being petty.

Wen Shan became agitated all of a sudden and wanted to pull Nalan Chunbo’s arm and walk away. “No, no, he is not,” Wen Shan explained while running away. What if Nalan Chunbo thought that she had arranged the misunderstanding?
