The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Master Yao Lao was giving instructions during dinner. She informed them of things to take note of after Xixi returned home, the continuation of the medications and to inform her immediately if anything crops up.

Ye Yuwei thanked her and continued, “Mom, let me know when you wish to return. I will come here to pick you up.”

Wen Jie nodded and did not say much further.

“The soup is delicious. There are no stir-fried vegetables today?” Wen Jie piped up.

“Mom, ask Gu Juexi.” Ye Yuwei gave a half-hearted smile.

Wen Jie looked at her own son.

Gu Juexi touched the tip of his nose. The question was rather awkward. He continued looking down and ate his meal quietly.

“I’m going to assume you threw them away,” Wen Jie muttered helplessly, “how would you survive without Weiwei?”

“Yeah, you would starve to death without me.” Ye Yuwei smirked, pleased with herself.

Gu Juexi glared at her. ‘You’re able, you’re able, only you’re able to.’

Ye Yuwei laughed smugly. Only she was able to do so.

After dinner, Wen Jie called Ye Yuwei over and Gu Juexi returned to the room to take care of the kids.

The two children were sleeping like logs and completely oblivious to their surroundings.

Gu Juexi leaned against the headboard and looked at his daughter. No matter from which angle, his daughter was adorable. As for the little fellow, there was no need to look at him.

Ye Xicheng suddenly cried out in pain, probably due to a cramp in his leg. Gu Juexi hastily put his hand underneath the blanket and kneaded the calf.

When Ye Yuwei rushed over, Gu Juexi was still massaging Ye Xicheng’s calf. She sat down on the bed and asked, “His leg is hurting?”

Gu Juexi acknowledged the question and when the cramp subsided, he retracted his hands. “What did Mom say to you?”

“She said to change the children’s names upon returning and to look for a school for them.” Ye Yuwei tilted her head and looked at Gu Juexi. “There was definitely guilt in her voice. I thought Mom would ask me about my aunt.”

‘Change names?’

Gu Juexi felt guilty when this subject was brought up.

If the two children’s family names were to change to his name, the fact that they were already divorced would be out in the open.

“There is no urgency to do that, so let’s just put it on hold first.” Gu Juexi tried to change the topic. “I think that would be better. At most we’ll just hide this matter from Mom’s knowledge.”

Ye Yuwei nodded. It could only be this way for now.

Ye Yuwei gestured for Gu Juexi to wake the children up. “Let them have their dinner first, or are you going to heat up the food for them later?”

Gu Juexi thought it over and felt that wasn’t doable. It would be better to just wake his daughter up for dinner now.

Ye Yuwei felt uneasy regarding Wen Jie’s words. It was as if she did not take the matter mentioned in the morning to heart.

But Ye Yuwei could not put her finger on why.

No matter what, they had to pack up and leave this place, unsure of when they would return.

Before they left, Gu Juexi went to look for Master Yao Lao for a discussion and dropped by to have a look at Yuan Mo. Yuan Mo knew they were leaving and was noticeably depressed.

Ye Yuwei sat at the side of the bed and held Yuan Mo’s hand. “Let Aunt know when you come to B City to look for your parents. Come to my place and play with Xixi, okay?”

Yuan Mo nodded. “Xixi is not in good health. Remember to bring more medicine back. You can let my grandfather know if there is any medicine that you cannot get.” Yuan Mo rattled on, feeling unwilling to part with Xixi and Ye Xicheng.
