The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

“Looks like what happened between Gu Juexi and his father will not be resolved anytime soon,” said Xiao Yaojing as she played with her phone, then passed her phone to PA Wen the moment she saw her mother calling. “Play your role now, best actor for a perfect son-in-law.”

PA Wen raised a brow and took over the phone, talking as he drove. “Hi Aunt, it’s me.”

“Oh hello, Wen Tao,” Mrs. Xiao who was just about to nag Xiao Yaojing instantly sounded cheerful when she heard Wen Tao’s voice.

“Yes, Aunt. Jing Jing is with me now. I was just asking her if you and Uncle knew that she was coming with me,” said PA Wen so naturally as if that was what really happened.

PA Wen quickly mouthed to Xiao Yaojing that he was driving when he saw her raising her leg to kick him.

“Aww yes, yes she did. How thoughtful of you to take care of the little things like that. Is it tiring to be on a business trip?” Mrs. Xiao asked kindly.

“Not really, we don’t have much work here. Please take good care of yourselves when Jing Jing is not around,” PA Wen continued pleasantly.

Xiao Yaojing rolled her eyes at PA Wen’s acting.

“Your parents are so much nicer than my parents, you should appreciate them,” said PA Wen as he tossed the phone back to Xiao Yaojing after ending the call with Mrs. Xiao.

Xiao Yaojing scoffed as she put her phone away. She leaned back in her seat and stared at PA Wen. “We were just acting, why so serious?”

PA Wen tightened his grip on the steering wheel without saying anything.

Maybe he hadn’t been acting.

Night had fallen by the time they reached Feng County. PA Wen had booked a local hotel for his stay. “It’s not the best hotel, I can send you back if you don’t feel comfortable.”

“I am not that delicate,” said Xiao Yaojing after looking around the room. Satisfied, she pushed PA Wen out of her room.

PA Wen stumbled out of Xiao Yaojing’s room with a scowl then walked to his room.

PA Wen’s phone lit up the moment he got to his room. He unlocked his phone and saw a message from Ye Yuwei.

[Self-Destructive’s Lifeblood: She has practically given herself to you. I am going to introduce her to Qian Yikun if you don’t do anything.]

PA Wen was speechless when he saw the message.

‘You have become corrupted after spending too much time with the CEO, Mistress!’

[PA Wen: …

PA Wen: Why do I think that there has been a misunderstanding, Mistress?

Self-Destructive’s Lifeblood: Has there? Does that mean I can introduce Qian Yikun to Yaojing?

PA Wen: Just a word of advice, Mistress: stay away from the CEO.

Self-Destructive’s Lifeblood: Gu Juexi is right beside me.

Your friend has recalled a message .]

PA Wen’s lips twitched. These people were so toxic! All he wanted was to live a peaceful life.

[Self-Destructive’s Lifeblood: I will give you some advice too, PA Wen: Not taking action is as good as giving up sometimes.

PA Wen: Thank you, Mistress.

Self-Destructive’s Lifeblood: You are welcome. Also, Gu Juexi is not actually beside me.

PA Wen: …

PA Wen: We can’t be friends if you keep this up, Mistress.

Self-Destructive’s Lifeblood: I have said what I wanted to say. What you do next is up to you, and I will despise you if you can’t take Yaojing down this time.

PA Wen: It’s a rather challenging task.]
