The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

When Ye Yuwei entered the house, Gu Tianmu was in the living room, making a call. Ye Yuwei greeted him and went upstairs.

“Weiwei.”

“Hmm?” Ye Yuwei turned around and looked at her father-in-law. It was so rare for him to call her so gently.

Gu Tianmu ended the call and put the phone on the table before he continued, “There’s something I need you to do the day after tomorrow.”

“What is it?” Ye Yuwei walked back down the stairs and looked at Gu Tianmu approaching her.

Gu Tianmu looked around them then led Ye Yuwei to the study.

“The day after tomorrow, I hope you can stay at home with Mom and the two kids,” Gu Tianmu said in a deep and earnest voice.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Tianmu in confusion after hearing his request. What did he mean by that?

Didn’t he organize the birthday party for Mom?

“Dad, I don’t understand what you mean,” Ye Yuwei replied. “You’ve prepared for so long, don’t you want to give Mom the surprise?”

“Your mom’s safety is more important though,” Gu Tianmu said bluntly. “We have better security at home, so it’s safer for all of you to stay at home.”

Ye Yuwei pursed her lips slightly, agitated. “Dad, Mom is not the social kind of person, so it’s normal for her not to show up, but don’t you think my absence will raise questions?”

Gu Tianmu thought about this. “But it’s too dangerous.”

Ye Yuwei was delighted with his response, it proved that Gu Tianmu also cared about her. That was good enough a reason, wasn’t it?

“Dad, I think you had better discuss this with Gu Juexi when he gets back. I have Mo Fei around, she can watch my back.” Although Ye Yuwei knew that she shouldn’t reject her father-in-law’s goodwill, she couldn’t agree with him yet.

“Mo Fei?” Gu Tianmu was stunned at the mention of the name. “Oh, that Mo Fei.”

Ye Yuwei nodded. “Yes, she sent me home just now.”

Gu Tianmu squinted at Ye Yuwei as if examining her. She had appeared with Mo Fei the other day, so he could feel that his daughter-in-law knew something he didn’t.

“So, Dad, I think we had better wait for Gu Juexi to come back then decide what to do.”

Gu Tianmu no longer persisted. He waved his hand, gesturing for her to excuse herself.

Ye Yuwei nodded. She turned around, left the study and went to Wen Jie’s room.

At the moment, Auntie Yuan was saying something to Wen Jie. When she saw Ye Yuwei coming in, she looked at Ye Yuwei and said, “See, your son is filial, and your daughter-in-law is like your daughter, what more do you want?”

Wen Jie glared at Auntie Yuan agitatedly, gesturing for her to leave.

Ye Yuwei said with a smile, “Auntie Yuan, I’m so sorry. We’ve been wanting to invite Mingsheng over for dinner, but so many things have been happening at home lately.”

“It’s nothing. I’ll see myself out,” Auntie Yuan murmured and retreated downstairs with a smile.

After Auntie Yuan left, Ye Yuwei went to sit by the bed. “Mom, what’s the matter?”

Wen Jie looked at Ye Yuwei. She took her hand into hers and gently stroked it. “Have you given the invitation to your brother?”

Ye Yuwei nodded, placing her hand above Wen Jie’s hand.

“Your brother came to me earlier to apologize. I felt very sorry for him. If it wasn’t for my sickness, I would have gone with you to see him,” Wen Jie said as she heaved a sigh.

“Did you quarrel with Dad again?” Ye Yuwei asked in an amusing and teasing tone. “Mom, don’t you think you and Dad are like Gu Juexi and me at the beginning? We fought all the time too.”
