The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

His words touched Ye Yuwei’s heart and she did not continue to persuade him.

“If you need any help, feel free to let me know anytime,” was all Ye Yuwei could say.

Mo Qi thanked her and directed his gaze outward again. Ye Yuwei sighed and left.

Mo Qi left not long after Ye Yuwei returned.

When Ye Yuwei got home, Gu Juexi was smoking on the balcony.

Ye Yuwei nearly forgot how long it had been since Gu Juexi stopped smoking. At least, since her return, she had never seen Gu Juexi smoke because his daughter had a weak constitution.

“I went to see Mo Qi. He’s fine. He just wishes to leave this place.” Ye Yuwei went in and hugged Gu Juexi from the back.

It was Gu Juexi who asked her to go to the hospital. She knew that Gu Juexi did not wish for this to happen either, but this was the harsh truth that reality presented.

His status did not allow him to do things for personal reasons.

Gu Juexi nodded and put out the cigarette in his hand, not wanting Ye Yuwei to take in the second-hand smoke.

After putting out the cigarette, Gu Juexi turned around and pulled Ye Yuwei into his arms. He looked at the setting sun in the distance. The sun, was finally setting.

“Do you think I’m heartless?” Gu Juexi suddenly asked, this time with uncertainty.

Ye Yuwei looked up and nibbled on his chin. She blinked and asked, “Do you want to hear the truth?”

Gu Juexi nodded.

Ye Yuwei leaned into his embrace once more. “When I knew that the lass died, I did think that you’re heartless. However, after giving it some thought, if you participated in any of the teams, there would surely be more casualties. I suddenly felt that perhaps you weren’t wrong, but it was a pity.”

Even though she never saw the lass, she was still a living being. Furthermore, she died so tragically. No matter how she looked at it, her heart would ache.

Especially when she realized that if Qian Yikun, Mo Fei, and the others were mere ordinary people, they would have died hundreds of times already. She really could not understand why Gu Juexi did not make his move.

However, after meeting Mo Qi, Ye Yuwei understood.

If even Mo Qi could understand the reason behind Gu Juexi’s choice, why should she continue to blame Gu Juexi?

In this world, was she not the only person who could not blame Gu Juexi?

“Mommy, don’t hug my daddy. Daddy belongs to Xi Xi.” Xixi rode her little car over and climbed down. She pushed Ye Yuwei away with her small hands and climbed onto Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi raised his eyebrows and Ye Yuwei’s face darkened. This little ingrate, did she not know who gave birth to her?

Ye Xicheng peered at his younger sister in disdain once more. Then, he went over and held Ye Yuwei’s hand. “Mommy, read with me.”

Gu Yuexi held onto his daughter, and he looked at his son who was shooting daggers at Gu Juexi with his eyes. So, did he offend their precious son again?

It was such a strange thing. Gu Juexi had no idea what he did wrong.

Ye Yuwei led Ye Xicheng out of the room, and Wen Jie happened to be watching television outside. After Ye Yuwei went out, Wen Jie beckoned Ye Yuwei to come to her side.

Ye Yuwei asked Ye Xicheng to get his book. She would read with him later. After asking Ye Xicheng to get his book, Ye Yuwei sat next to Wen Jie. “Mom.”

Wen Jie held Ye Yuwei’s hand as if she had something to say.

“Mom, just say it.”

Wen Jie sighed. “Weiwei, I know it’s not a good idea to bring this up. After all—” Wen Jie spoke with some difficulty.

Gu Tianmu was the one who brought this up. Wen Jie thought it was a bit too much, but as a mother, everyone wished that their grandchildren share the same surname as their son.

“Mom, do you want to talk about Xicheng and Xi Xi’s household registration?” Ye Yuwei brought it up on Wen Jie’s behalf.
