The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

But what was wrong? Gu Juexi could feel it in his bones but he couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong.

“Ahhh…”

Gu Juexi quickly ran to the bedroom when he heard Ye Yuwei groaning.

Ye Yuwei was wide awake, panting and sweating, obviously woken up by a nightmare.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…” Gu Juexi sat down at the side of the bed and held Ye Yuwei gently to comfort her.

Ye Yuwei leaned against Gu Juexi’s chest and stared blankly into space for some time before she finally regained focus.

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei and kissed her forehead. “Told you not to be wilful. What did you get from fighting so much with me?”

Listening to him call her ‘wilful’ rendered Ye Yuwei speechless. How annoying!

“Everything is going to be fine. I mean, how serious can it be?” Gu Juexi stared at her. “Mother called early in the morning to check on you. Could you call her back?” Gu Juexi asked and pushed Ye Yuwei down onto the bed and left the room.

Ye Yuwei fell back onto the bed and snorted as she watched Gu Juexi leave. How did she have her eye on this man back then? How?

Shouldn’t he be hugging and coaxing her and telling her that everything was going to be okay?

Gu Juexi really wasn’t an ordinary man. To think she actually hoped to have a normal relationship with this man.

‘Should I apologize then for not being able to tell your true nature, and that I shouldn’t have picked a fight with you? ‘

Ye Yuwei scratched her head and grabbed her phone. Before she could unlock it, Gu Juexi snatched her phone away and passed her his. “Why bother switching it on? The battery died.”

“Can’t you be more direct when you care about someone? What’s in my phone?” Ye Yuwei curled her lip and asked.

“Call Mom now, she is waiting,” said Gu Juexi as he unlocked Ye Yuwei’s phone and saw an unread message. He opened that message and saw a gory picture, a picture of what Ye Yuwei saw last night.

Gu Juexi turned to look at Ye Yuwei who was making the phone call in the bedroom and deleted the message after taking down the sender’s number.

Gu Juexi gave Ye Yuwei her phone back when she got out of the bedroom after the phone call.

Ye Yuwei scoffed and looked down at her phone. It looked like Gu Juexi had deleted something from her phone.

Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei sat at opposite ends of the sofa while waiting for their breakfast.

“I can’t think of anyone other than Bai Yuyan,” said Ye Yuwei.

“What about Qian Yikun then?” Gu Juexi scoffed.

Ye Yuwei was speechless at the sudden jealousy that came from nowhere.

“Why would Qian Yikun be so nice to me if he wanted to kill me?” Ye Yuwei asked, eyes wide.

“Why are you staring at me? Would you stare at me if what I said was wrong?” Gu Juexi demanded without holding back. “I know he was nice to you but he did so with a purpose, which is very likely to be marrying someone from the Bai family then taking over the whole Bai family.”

Ye Yuwei wanted to laugh at how Gu Juexi’s voice was filled with jealousy but she held her laughter in.

Gu Juexi got up from the couch and answered the door when someone pressed the doorbell. Ye Yuwei looked at the man who was walking to the door instinctively and began to think that this man was actually a nice guy when he didn’t talk.
