The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Right before he climbed into the car, he saw something amiss among the tall grass. He waddled over to take a closer look as his father was putting on his mother’s safety belt.

After making sure Ye Yuwei’s seat belt was fastened, Gu Juexi noticed his son approaching the tall grass and quickly went to him.

“Xicheng!” Gu Juexi shouted as he noticed something wrong. He lunged forward and grabbed his son by the waist, pulling him into his embrace as a figure burst out of the grass. He swung his hand out, blocking the man who had jumped out at them.

“Xicheng!” Ye Yuwei quickly unfastened her seatbelt and ran out of the car.

Gu Juexi carried Xicheng in one hand and held out his other hand threateningly. The man didn’t mean any harm so he lowered his arms and backed away.

Gu Juexi stared at the man with narrowed eyes. He was in a white exercise shirt, not in army uniform but Gu Juexi recognized him. “Chu Ningyi?”

Chu Ningyi smirked while dusting himself off. “The kid has good observation skills. Your son?”

Gu Juexi put his son down and studied Chu Ningyi before looking around, not saying a word.

“What’s his name?”

Ye Yuwei ran towards them and hugged her son. “Are you alright?”

After Xicheng told her he was okay, Ye Yuwei looked up and glared at the man in front of them. As she watched him, fear began to set in and she glanced at her husband.

Was this what they called a demons’ face off?

“Gu Xicheng,” Gu Juexi said coldly.

Chu Ningyi walked past Juexi to look at the little boy who was comforting his mom. He had been waiting idly here for a few days and the army had yet to find him.

On the contrary, this little boy was able to sense him almost immediately.

“Gu Xicheng.” He repeated the name before laughing out loud.

Ye Yuwei stood up in concern and looked at Gu Juexi, who put his hands on her shoulders comfortingly.

“I wish you all the best in hunting,” Gu Juexi said and promptly guided his family towards the car.

“Gu Juexi,” Chu Ningyi called out, “if you’re available, let’s spar.”

“No time,” Gu Juexi answered immediately and left.

Ye Yuwei felt unsafe and worried.

“Daddy, who’s that?” Ye Xicheng asked the question that had been playing on Ye Yuwei’s mind. That uncle seemed quite capable.

“Chu Ningyi. If you ever encounter him in the future, turn around and leave. That person is a psycho,” Gu Juexi said, voice tense as he started the engine.

Ye Xicheng remained silent. He was curious though, there were other people more psychotic than his dad?

Only if Ye Xicheng one day became Chu Ningyi’s subordinate would he truly know that there were people who are as psychotic or maybe more psychotic than his dad.

The car took off and Ye YuWei was still looking at the tall grass. “He is that Chu Ningyi from A City?”

“You don’t have to look anymore. He’s long gone.” Gu Juexi gently tapped Yu Wei’s head. Why was she so obsessed with him?

“A City’s Chu Ningyi is a businessman right?”

“That’s why he’s a psycho,” Gu Juexi answered her with a laugh.

Although he had already left the army, he still had some influence in it due to his background. If he had his eye on anyone, no matter how precious or how influential that person’s family was, there was no escape.

Coincidentally, those people were willing to follow him. Some were even desperate to follow.
