The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“It’s Wen Shan, the one doing electromagnetics. Although she is quite problematic, her thesis is excellent.”

Nalan Chunbo looked at the man standing at the gate and smoking while talking on the phone.

“Don’t worry, she is just a small fry. Even if her brother is Wen Tao, in order to graduate, she won’t dare oppose you if you want to use her thesis,” the man said. He threw the cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it. “So, professor, can you help me with the matter I told you about the other day? You know, about my promotion to associate professor?”

He wasn’t sure what the person on the other end of the line was saying, but it was most likely good news as the man laughed delightedly. “Haha, professor, don’t you worry. I’ll make sure that problematic Wen Shan will bend over backwards for you.”

The man ended his call and went into the university, clutching his briefcase.

Nalan Chunbo watched the man entering the gate and looked in the direction where Wen Shan had long disappeared.

He thought that she wouldn’t fall victim to the dark schemes of office politics by taking an academic job but unfortunately, he had underestimated the stakes.

How could that lowly lecturer Ding Junhui protect her?

Nalan Chunbo arched his eyebrows as he pondered the situation. He took out his phone, made a call and turned away.

“Dean Fang, it’s me. I’ve thought about your offer, and I would like to inform you that I accept the offer and I am thrilled to be part of the team. However, I have something to handle this month so I have to take the position next month.” Nalan Chunbo said into the phone while opening his car door and getting into his car.

National Day was nearing after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At the beginning of the National Day Golden Week, tourist attractions across the country had brought in a sea of people.

Xixi’s condition took a turn for the worse. She had hit Ye Xicheng several times. The worst incident was when her brother didn’t let her eat ice cream. She pushed her brother towards the table and he had knocked his head on it. The cut had bled quite badly.

That was also the first time Ye Yuwei punished Xixi by giving her a beating. On that day, Gu Mansion had turned upside down.

The severity of Xixi’s illness was beyond their expectations. After Ye Xicheng recovered from the injury and was discharged, which was during the Golden Week holiday, Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi took Xixi to Shennongjia.

Ye Xicheng stayed at Gu Mansion with his grandparents.

Before Ye Yuwei entered the car, she hugged and kissed her son tenderly. There was gauze on his forehead.

“I’ll be back soon. Listen to your grandparents, okay?” Ye Yuwei said gently as she touched her son’s face. She couldn’t let her son and daughter stay together as her daughter was turning into a time bomb.

Ye Xicheng nodded timidly. “Mommy, please don’t get angry with Xixi, you will scare her.”

“Okay, I won’t,” Ye Yuwei said and kissed Ye Xicheng’s head again. “I love you.”

Ye Xicheng kissed Ye Yuwei’s cheek lovingly before watching his mommy get into the car.

Wen Jie went to embrace Ye Xicheng and watched them leave.

Xixi was sitting on her daddy’s lap with her arms crossed over her chest as she pouted. She growled furiously, “Mommy, why did you kiss him? You are mine.”

“Ye Xixi, that’s enough,” Ye Yuwei chided sternly.

When her mommy called her full name, Xixi pursed her lips and was about to cry.

PA Wen who was driving the wheels witnessed the scene through the rearview mirror. It was worse than he thought.

Gu Juexi hugged Xixi and kissed her cheek before saying softly, “Xixi, don’t be rude to your mommy.”

“But Mommy is mine!” Xixi yelled anxiously, her voice shrill.

Ye Yuwei massaged her forehead dejectedly and looked out of the window instead.

Gu Juexi consoled Xixi who was out of control and glanced at Ye Yuwei who was sitting beside him.
