The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Xiao Yaojing hugged a pillow and looked at Ye Yuwei who sat beside her.

“I don’t understand. Is it true that once a woman is pregnant, she should stay at home and be treated like a fragile doll? Don’t give me that bullshit like he’s doing this for my own good because there are many women out there working even when they are pregnant!” Xiao Yaojing burst out furiously.

They had clearly talked about it many times but could not come to an agreement, thus agitating Xiao Yaojing.

Ye Yuwei ate the piece of Hakka bean curd with minced pork as she listened to Xiao Yaojing.

“Although PA Wen believes he needs to do this because he cares about you, I do not think that this is for your own good.” This time, Ye Yuwei took her best friend’s side. “But Yaojing, whenever you and PA Wen discuss this, do you do it angrily or calmly?”

“Do you think that I would be able to stay calm?” Xiao Yaojing snarled as Ye Yuwei fed her a piece of bean curd. It tasted good!

“Sometimes being calm is more effective than being furious.”

“That is if one has already given up,” Xiao Yaojing said directly before adding, “I just don’t understand it. How can he forbid me from watching TV and using my phone? Every dangerous place at home has become a forbidden land. He clearly does not even know the difference between a physically handicapped person and a pregnant woman! His neurotic response is only stressing me out!”

Being a woman herself, Ye Yuwei could understand her best friend.

Although she had agreed with PA Wen’s initial care, him being overly concerned about Xiao Yaojing was actually stressing her out even more.

“You both should give each other space to calm down and think it over. Don’t simply bring up divorce because it would hurt a lot,” Ye Yuwei advised as she passed a set of chopsticks to Xiao Yaojing. “Since Gu Juexi was driven away by you, you have to eat lunch with me.”

Xiao Yaojing immediately reached for the chopsticks. Of course she would eat! “I saw Nalan Chunbo downstairs earlier. What was he here for?”

“Oh… he was wondering whether to pursue you.”

“What kind of joke is that? Don’t you know how he made Shan Shan return quickly?” Xiao Yaojing snarled.

Ye Yuwei replied, “Ha! You said you want to get a divorce, but why are you still so concerned about other people’s younger sisters?”

Xiao Yaojing refused to answer.

“Actually my brother… How should I put it? I know that he has his faults in this, but regardless of who is responsible, I think that anyone in his shoes would be feeling inferior,” Ye Yuwei explained to Xiao Yaojing.

Xiao Yaojing was already sitting on the floor and drinking her soup when Ye Yuwei finished speaking.

“So back then, Nalan Chunbo kept avoiding Wen Shan because he thought that he was worthy of Wen Shan. In his eyes, Wen Shan is so perfect that he thinks he would sully her if he even got close.” Ye Yuwei let out a helpless sigh.

Xiao Yaojing sipped her soup and looked at Ye Yuwei. “We only went for a short honeymoon and things got so out of hand?”

Ye Yuwei shrugged and continued eating.

“So what does Nalan Chunbo want to show now? He already knows that your aunt is not a bad person and wants to get closer to Shan Shan, but this made Shan Shan not like her Papa Nalan anymore. Isn’t that the typical treachery?”

“Yup, Nalan Chunbo is much better than Gu Juexi. At least he knows that he likes Wen Shan, and he doesn’t dare get close to Wen Shan for those reasons,” Ye Yuwei explained.

“Yeah, so the person with the least morals is you,” Xiao Yaojing sneered.
