The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

The things that were still pending were the diamond ring, the unsolved formula, and an entire island for Ye Yuwei.

“Freeze the account and use the money after around a week as part of the funds for the purchase of the island,” said Gu Juexi who was estimating the amount of time he had while listening to the numbers.

“After around a week?” asked Ye Yuwei in astonishment, “shouldn’t it take at least half a year to process and approve the fund release?” Ye Yuwei cited the exact words of PA Wen. She had heard it herself from PA Wen, and was surprised to hear otherwise from Gu Juexi.

“When is your man ever slow in anything?” Gu Juexi raised a brow and asked.

Ye Yuwei fell silent. She could sense that something was up.

The project of buying the island was approved quickly by the bank mainly because the flowstones would forever remain a secret if they were in the hands of Gu Juexi, and the bank knew that very well.

And the reason Gu Juexi gave as to why he chose to buy the island was because he and his wife were once stranded on it by accident, and his wife liked it very much so he decided to buy it as a gift for her.

People’s reactions to this decision of Gu Juexi’s were:

Poverty has limited my creativity.

While you are buying roses, there is someone who is buying an island.

A wife with a husband who gives them an island is a wife who will never cheat.

There were so many other comments that Ye Yuwei felt like showing them the first gift that she had ever received from Gu Juexi: a cactus.

And the cactus was the first plant that Gu Juexi had ever bought for her.

Poverty has limited your creativity? More like being normal makes you not understand the mindset of a weirdo.

“But why would you need to use the funds in the bank’s account? Why not pay directly from Gu Enterprise?” asked Ye Yuwei curiously.

“To help your Key Performance Indicators. Aren’t I the best husband ever?” Despite his flat tone, Gu Juexi sounded like he was fishing for compliments.

Feeling her wet hair against her neck, Ye Yuwei began to miss the man who would dry her hair for her every night even more. It was just too bad that he was now on the other end of the line.

Ye Yuwei casually dried her hair with a towel then tossed it onto a stool before lying down on her bed. She then let her hair down by the side of the bed and imagined the water draining from her hair.

Ye Yuwei told Gu Juexi how she was drying her hair and his response was that her lame ideas were draining him.

Ye Yuwei was speechless. She really shouldn’t have expected to hear something nice from that man.

Ye Yuwei then spotted a cactus plant by the window. It was the same cactus that Gu Juexi had got for her back then, and he had brought it home when Ye Yuwei got upset by the gift and threw it at him.

The cactus was well taken care of and healthy.

“Yaojing and PA Wen are getting married. Why do I feel like they have only been in a relationship for a very short time?” Ye Yuwei put her legs up against the wall while talking to Gu Juexi over the phone.

“PA Wen has had a crush on her for six or seven years. Why would he want to wait any longer?” Gu Juexi scoffed and despised that most capable personal assistant of his.

Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and wondered if Gu Juexi really didn’t get what she was hinting at.

Why was he being so tight-lipped about the proposal?

“The school’s anniversary is in less than two weeks’ time. Have you prepared your speech?” Ye Yuwei continued to beat around the bush for more information.

If her brother was correct, Gu Juexi should be proposing to her during his speech. Though someone as sly as Gu Juexi was probably not going to let a single word slip out until he was completely ready for it.

“Do you think your man would need to prepare for his speech?” Gu Juexi asked cockily. God knows that he hadn’t prepared for his speech at all – the final and most important speech of his life.
