The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

This brat was irritating him on purpose, was he not?

“But I want Daddy to go,” Xi Xi quickly protested with her small hand still holding onto Gu Juexi’s wrist. “I’ll let Daddy go. Nobody’s daddy will be as handsome as my daddy.”

Nalan Chunbo observed their family interaction as he ate. He felt that it would be nice to have a daughter in the future.

Daughters are every daddy’s little cotton-padded jackets[1]. If he had a son like Ye Xicheng, it would not feel as pleasant somehow.

After breakfast, Xi Xi was willing to go to school. Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi sent Xi Xi and Ye Xicheng to school before visiting Mo Fei. Meanwhile, Wen Jie and Nalan Chunbo went to the Wen family’s house. Thinking of the guilt that might stem from his wife—considering how she did not run back for him—Gu Tianmu went with them anyway.

Nalan Chunbo was grateful to Wen Jie for what she did, hence he did not turn her down. This good intention came from an elder; he must not refuse.

“Be careful not to get beaten up and kicked out of the house,” Gu Juexi said coldly before he left. His words were instantly followed by a decisive kick from Ye Yuwei.

This time, Gu Juexi His two children sat in the back. Ye Yuwei got into the car and rolled her eyes at Gu Juexi. “If you know you won’t be saying nice things, can’t you just not talk? Will it suffocate you if you don’t talk?”

“Yes!”

Ye Yuwei choked at his answer. With a loud snap, she fastened her seatbelt—she had resolutely rejected Gu Juexi’s good intentions with her actions.

Gu Juexi’s hands, which were about to fasten her seatbelt for her, hovered in the air for a moment before retracting back to his side. It was not that he gave up n being nice. It was just that her hands were faster.

“Then, why weren’t you suffocated to death earlier?” If it was not for the fact that her movements were currently restricted, she really wanted to extend her leg and kick him.

In the past, Gu Juexi was a man of few words and would throw single word by single word at her.

The most he said was, “Leave me alone!”

It was great. Just three words!

Gu Juexi opened his mouth to refute, but the word ‘earlier’ was his Achilles’ heel. Therefore, this time, Gu Juexi chose to remain silent and start the car.

Ye Xicheng sat at the back and watched the battle. He was very satisfied with the outcome of the battle that was within his expectation. At the very least, it could prove that his mommy would not be at the short end of the stick when he was not around.

This way, he could finally allow himself to feel relieved.

Gu Juexi caught a glimpse of his son’s expression from the rearview mirror. His lips could not help twitching when he noticed his son’s expression that said, ‘Yes, that’s the way to do it. Fight on, my girl!’

Gu Juexi’s car turned left while Nalan Chunbo turned right. After they left the Gu Mansion, they each drove in their respective direction.

However, before Nalan Chunbo reached the Wen family’s house, Ye Yuwei felt that she should help Nalan Chunbo get more information.

Brother Gu’s Wife: [Are you up?]

Wen Shan: [Sister-in-law QAQ.]

Brother Gu’s Wife: [Are you okay?]

Wen Shan: [I didn’t sleep the whole night. I’m sad. Why did he lie to me? And he lied to me so matter-of-factly too.]

Brother Gu’s Wife: [What a coincidence. He didn’t sleep the whole night too.]

Brother Gu’s Wife: [So, does your last line imply that you don’t blame him anymore?]

Wen Shan: […]

Wen Shan: [I’d look like a coward if I don’t blame him.]

Ye Yuwei burst out laughing. Gu Juexi looked at her and said, “At first, I was worried that my brother would spoil Wen Shan too much in the future. Now, I’m rather worried about Wen Shan.”

It was the morning rush hour. Traffic was on the heavy side.

Gu Juexi stopped the car and looked at the traffic in front of him. “Look at Wen Tao. Isn’t he the best example?”

Ye Yuwei was speechless. ” … ”

That was a really painful answer. Fortunately, Wen Shan did not hear it.

So, was this the characteristic shared by the Wen siblings?
