The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Everything seemed to be back on track again after the flower pot incident. Gu Juexi was so busy these two days, even Ye Yuwei couldn’t get to him.

Xiao Yaojing cryptically told her that Gu Juexi had been frequenting their college recently, and it probably had something to do with the preparation of the anniversary celebration.

And the main agenda of the celebration was the proposal.

Upon Nalan Chunbo’s return, he stayed at Gu Mansion most of the time. Despite his sulking, Gu Juexi didn’t object.

Nalan Chunbo’s daily tasks were going to the office with Ye Yuwei and staying at Gu Mansion. He rarely went out alone.

The balcony became his usual hang out spot.

Ye Yuwei, glasses of water in her hands, went to the balcony to look for Nalan Chunbo. Xixi was urging her uncle to play with her.

“Yuan Mo is here, why don’t you go and play with him?” Before Ye Yuwei could finish talking, Xixi let go of Nalan Chunbo’s arms and sprinted off with her little legs.

Nalan Chunbo smirked. The little niece whom he adored so much was now in another man’s hands.

Ye Yuwei passed a glass of water to him and smiled, telling him Ye Xicheng shared the same thought about his sister too.

Nalan Chunbo took the glass, enjoying the cold surface on his hot palms.

“I’m glad to see that Gu Juexi is very serious about the proposal,” Nalan Chunbo said with a smile.

It was no longer his usual gentle and warm smile. There was a glimpse of darkness hovering in his eyes.

Ye Yuwei knew what the darkness was.

“Brother, do you find it fun to punish yourself with the past?” Ye Yuwei growled agitatedly. She had controlled her anger for two days.

Nalan Chunbo was stunned. He cleared his throat and took a sip of the cold water. The cold water calmed his unstable emotions.

Nalan Chunbo looked outside again, but his gaze was vague and unreadable.

“Seeing that Gu Juexi doesn’t take our family affairs personally and accepts you wholeheartedly, I have nothing else to worry about. In the beginning, the thing I was most scared about was how it would affect you. Fortunately, your father had foresight and knew that both of you would have built enough trust and commitment before the whole thing erupted,” Nalan Chunbo uttered. He turned around and stroked Ye Yuwei’s head tenderly. “Otherwise, I would hate myself forever.”

As her brother, he knew how important Gu Juexi was to Ye Yuwei.

If Gu Juexi was prejudiced against Ye Yuwei because of the incident, he would hate himself even more and the woman who gave birth to him.

Ye Yuwei lowered her head. Gu Juexi didn’t blame her because his love for her was deeper than she anticipated. Otherwise, he would not have such a big heart to accept her, just like Gu Tianmu would never forgive the Ye family.

Gu Tianmu found her so disgusting that every time she went to the hospital, he would kick her out of the room. Hence, Gu Juexi didn’t let her visit him now.

It was because of the Ye family that the Gu family turned out as it was now. That was the ugly truth.

Since Gu Juexi didn’t blame her, the best she could do was to treat him better than back then.

“I will pay for what I owe the Gu family, but this has nothing to do with you so why do you lock yourself away?” Ye Yuwei demanded frustratedly. It was for Wen Shan and the man who locked himself in a cage and refused to come out.
