The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

In Gu Mansion, Xixi who just woken up from her nap was throwing a tantrum and calmed down only after she ran into Gu Juexi’s arms.

Ye Yuwei noticed that her daughter had turned melodramatic after she knew about her father, just as Ye Xicheng noticed that his sister had turned melodramatic after she knew about the old meatball.

She wasn’t like this before.

Gu Juexi picked Xixi up and gave Ye Yuwei an emotionless glance before he carried Xixi upstairs.

Ye Yuwei caught the glance and exchanged a look with Ye Xicheng in confusion.

“We are going home now, Xixi,” Ye Yuwei called out quickly.

Xixi rested her head on Gu Juexi’s shoulder and pouted, as if telling her mother that she wanted to stay with her father.

“Why can’t we stay here, mommy?” Xixi asked with a sad face. She wanted to stay together with daddy, mommy and brother, and didn’t want to go back to the hotel that was not their home.

Gu Juexi stopped at the stairs and looked back at Ye Yuwei. He wanted to know what Ye Yuwei’s concerns were too.

“Come down now, we are going back. Or you can stay here and your brother and I will leave.”

“No, no…” Xixi began to shout and struggled to get out of Gu Juexi’s arms. For her safety, Gu Juexi walked down the stairs before letting Xixi down.

Xixi began to run towards Ye Yuwei the moment her feet touched the floor and fell down after only a few steps.

“Xixi!” Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi shouted and ran to Xixi. Gu Juexi reacted fast, but not fast enough to catch Xixi.

Gu Juexi picked Xixi up from the floor and felt his heart break when he saw the bruise on her knee. All the while, Xixi cried hysterically.

Ye Yuwei reached out to rub Xixi’s knee and held her from Gu Juexi’s arms carefully.

“Butler Kim! Get the ointment, Butler Kim!” Wen Jie called out loudly while looking pitifully at her granddaughter crying.

“Why can’t daddy and mommy stay together? Xixi wants daddy and mommy to stay together,” Xixi cried loudly with her voice trembling.

Gu Juexi was stunned when Xixi said the word ‘daddy’. He looked up in surprise, and clenched his shaky fists to hide his excitement.

Ye Xicheng and Ye Xixi had been here for quite some time. He knew that they were his children and they knew that he was their father, but none of them had called him ‘daddy’.

For the first time ever, his daughter had called him ‘daddy’.

Xixi’s crying made Ye Yuwei so anxious that she did not know how to react.

Why couldn’t she come back and stay with daddy? Because it was not the right time yet.

There was unsettled business between her and Gu Juexi and they couldn’t get back together without settling it first.

But how could she explain that to a six-year-old?

“Let’s not disturb grandma’s rest. Mommy will send you here tomorrow,” Ye Yuwei comforted Xixi softly.

“No… I want daddy…” Xixi continued to cry with her little arms sticking out towards Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi would have loved to reach out and take Xixi’s hands, but he didn’t want anyone to see his shaky hands that showed how he had lost control of his emotions.
