The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

PA Wen gulped and looked at his wife innocently. The fact was that both his wife and his boss were on the same level to him, and that level was to be feared.

“Of course not, sweetheart. I will make the call now to prove my innocence. I would stand in front of you even if Mr. Gu decided to lash out at you, but don’t forget to get a really good stepfather for our baby. Child abuse happens so often now.”

Ye Yuwei could hardly contain her laughter as she watched their drama. It wasn’t easy for PA Wen to be stuck between his wife and his boss, as neither of them should ever feel offended.

Xiao Yaojing’s lips twitched when she heard what PA Wen said. Had the man lost his mind?

PA Wen took out his phone carefully, peeking at Xiao Yaojing every few seconds as he dialled the number, hoping that Xiao Yaojing would suddenly change her mind and tell him that he could skip the call.

He had overestimated his wife’s kindness. Xiao Yaojing just stared at him expectantly even when the line got through. PA Wen took a deep breath, summoning all his courage.

“Come have tea with me, hubby,” Ye Yuwei took PA Wen’s phone and said sweetly into it before PA Wen could say anything.

Ye Yuwei stared at Xiao Yaojing who was stunned. Xiao Yaojing should quit while she was ahead or the gap between her and Gu Juexi would just get bigger if PA Wen really asked Gu Juexi.

Couples in a relationship shouldn’t be forcing each other to do things that they didn’t want to, and that was exactly why Xiao Yaojing got angry in the first place.Even if she forced PA Wen to do this now, they would be hurting each other if the fine line of ‘getting even’ was crossed.

PA Wen looked at Ye Yuwei gratefully as she ended the call when Gu Juexi asked if she was crazy.

“Aren’t you going for the prenatal visit? Are you waiting for Gu Juexi to actually come so that we can all have tea together?” Ye Yuwei scoffed, tossing PA Wen’s phone at him.

PA Wen quickly dragged Xiao Yaojing out of the room before she could say anything.

Ye Yuwei sighed in relief the moment they left and took out her phone to message Gu Juexi, who called her not long after.

“Are you crazy?” asked Gu Juexi straightforwardly. It sounded like he was still at work since Ye Yuwei heard the sound of documents being flipped through.

Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes. “You’re the crazy one.” Ye Yuwei sat down and started going through her documents too.

“Tea? Why don’t you ask for the stars?” Gu Juexi checked the time and scoffed.

“It’s fine if you can’t come. Do you think being this harsh is how a real man should behave?” Ye Yuwei asked angrily.

“Hah… Ye Yuwei, shouldn’t you know the best if I am a real man or not? I remembered you wanted tea from the Cantonese Eatery? I will get someone to deliver it to you. I have a meeting later, I will pick you up from work after the meeting,” said Gu Juexi as he called his secretary through the intercom.

Ye Yuwei was speechless.

Tea was only an excuse she used to calm PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing. She wasn’t being serious when she said she wanted tea, and Gu Juexi didn’t have to take it so seriously. “I wasn’t serious about it.”

“Are you kidding me? Do you think I can’t give my wife tea?” Gu Juexi sneered. He immediately turned serious when his secretary entered his office and dismissed her after giving his instructions.

Ye Yuwei chuckled on the other end of the phone. Gu Juexi was so two-faced, but she was just as two-faced as him.

“I’m going to do my work now. You are too chubby to be eating so much, Ye Yuwei. You only dare to do so because you are already taken,” Gu Juexi said and ended the call.

Ye Yuwei was speechless.

Divorce. She had never wanted a divorce so badly before.
