The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

His whispered words were a promise to her.

Today, she got to know the different sides of Gu Juexi. He was a father, and he was also someone who could give her anything in the world.

“Mom seems to strongly object to this matter,” Ye Yuwei stated, leaning on Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi gently rocked Ye Yuwei. The tender care he usually showered on his daughter was being shown to Ye Yuwei.

“What if Mom gets angry over this?” Ye Yuwei deliberated.

Gu Juexi nibbled Ye Yuwei’s delicate earlobe, causing her to groan. “Don’t you dare use this method to seduce me again! You already used it yesterday.”

Gu Juexi opened his mouth to argue only to have Ye Yuwei cover his mouth with her hands.

“Please have some dignity.” Ye Yuwei growled, unsure if it was out of annoyance or anger.

Gu Juexi burst into laughter. He kissed Ye Yuwei’s palm and got a death glare in return but he managed to grab her hand before she pulled it away. “Can you really let go of this and not pursue the truth?”

At that moment, Ye Yuwei felt that Gu Juexi really knew her inside out. Even though she was willing to give up pursuing the truth for her mother-in-law, the matter would forever be a thorn in her side.

Gu Juexi’s words had struck a chord and it gave her a warm feeling inside.

“I am reluctant to leave. There is no scheming against each other here, and life is not as fast-paced as in the city.” Ye Yuwei sighed.

Gu Juexi raised his brows. “We’ll come and stay here for a while every year.”

Ye Yuwei nodded and leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

“How I wish time would stop.” Ye Yuwei closed her eyes and felt the breeze of the air, enjoying the serenity.

Gu Juexi stroked her arm softly, thinking about the matters surrounding Qiao Yi. Was there anything missing from the information gathered previously?

Seeing Gu Juexi quiet, Ye Yuwei nudged him. “What’s on your mind?”

“Nothing.” Gu Juexi was roused from his thoughts. “Alright, Xicheng has been standing for two hours. He can stop standing now.” Gu Juexi pushed Ye Yuwei off his lap, without the intention of going in the room.

Ye Yuwei pursed her lips. This father’s love was so profound that no one could comprehend it.

As Ye Yuwei walked into the room, Gu Juexi stood up and walked to the front to retrieve a hot water flask.

Ye Xicheng’s calves were slightly swollen from standing for too long and he had fallen asleep aggrieved without having any food.

Ye Yuwei’s heart was aching from seeing her son in that state. She laid a kiss on his head before leaving the room to prepare dinner.

When Ye Yuwei stepped out of the room, Gu Juexi was still sipping his tea. She went into the kitchen, wondering what was so great about the tea.

After Ye Yuwei entered the kitchen, Gu Juexi walked into the room and looked at the child sleeping on the bed with his little brows knitted tightly. Gu Juexi took a wash bowl and poured hot water into it. He soaked a towel in the water and sat down on the bed. He took Xicheng’s leg from underneath the blanket and after testing the temperature of the towel, he placed it on Xicheng’s calf.

“I’ve never even done this for your mummy.” Gu Juexi sneered and gently repeated his actions.

Ye Yuwei stood at the door and put her phone away before retreating from the room quietly.

The corner of her lips quirked up. How was this man so adorable?
