The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Xiao Yaojing smiled deviously and Mrs. Xiao looked surprised. “Of course you would come empty-handed. What else would we want you to bring besides yourself? It’s getting late and I am sure you haven’t eaten. Come upstairs and join us for dinner,” said Mrs. Xiao while pulling PA Wen upstairs.

PA Wen quickly took the grocery basket that Mrs. Xiao was carrying and pressed the lift button.

“Look at how well-behaved Wen Tao is. Learn from him!” Mrs. Xiao scolded and pinched her daughter.

“Ouch! Which one of us is your child, Mother?” Xiao Yaojing yelped and took a step back to get away from her mother.

“She doesn’t have to do anything with me around, Auntie,” said PA Wen politely while pulling Xiao Yaojing behind him.

Xiao Yaojing stared at him, speechless. Did PA Wen just tease her?

“How thoughtful of you! I am so happy that you’re taking care of Jing Jing,” Mrs. Xiao laughed happily.

“Please don’t worry, Auntie. I will take care of Jing Jing with all my heart. I might not be able to take care of Jing Jing as well as you and Uncle take care of her, but I will try my best to make Jing Jing never feel wronged,” said PA Wen as he reached out to hold the lift door for Mrs. Xiao. “After you, Auntie.”

The more Mrs. Xiao got to know PA Wen, the more pleased she was with him. A son-in-law like him was just one in a million.

Xiao Yaojing felt like she had just been teased for the second time and peeked at PA Wen after they entered the lift. He sounded like he had a glib tongue, but why was he such a wuss whenever he was with her?

“I am so happy that you say so. You probably don’t know it yet but this girl has been pampered her whole life and she is quite spoiled.”

“Cute,” said PA Wen naturally, “and lively too, which makes me happy.”

Xiao Yaojing could feel her heart pounding. She looked at PA Wen who was looking at her so lovingly, and felt that PA Wen was like a love master when somebody was around.

And now she was the one feeling shy.

“Ah, before I forget, Wen Tao. I heard that your parents are in B City too, what do you say if we arrange for dinner together?” asked Mrs. Xiao, worried that Wen Tao might become someone else’s son-in-law if she didn’t book him now.

“They are busy, Mother.”

“Sure. Just let me know when you and Uncle are free and I will arrange it with my parents,” said PA Wen with a smile on his face.

“Look at that. Can’t you be more like Wen Tao? He is a working man who is willing to make time to arrange the dinner. What are you doing all day when you are jobless?” Mrs. Xiao demanded, reaching out to pinch Xiao Yaojing again.

PA Wen reached out to pull Xiao Yaojing behind him again and said smilingly to Mrs. Xiao, “Jing Jing was only worried that I might be busy, Auntie. We did have a big case to work on earlier and Jing Jing was of great help! I am quite free now that the case has been settled.”

Xiao Yaojing was impressed by Wen Tao’s glib tongue.

You better pray that I don’t get the chance or I swear I will tease you so much that you will beg for forgiveness.

Mrs. Xiao was the first to walk out the lift when it stopped in front of her house, and Xiao Yaojing held PA Wen’s arm and hissed, “You really were something, young man. I can see that you have a glib tongue.”

“Thanks for the compliment,” PA Wen said, curving his lips into a cheeky smile.

“Don’t be so shameless, who said it was a compliment? I dare you to talk to Gu Juexi like this,” said Xiao Yaojing, kicked PA Wen then walked out of the lift.

PA Wen touched his nose awkwardly. He really wouldn’t dare talk to Gu Juexi like that.
