The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

“Should we visit your grandmother?” Ye Yuwei asked as she looked at Gu Juexi while leaning back in her seat.

They should at least find out more so they would have the upper hand.

“Not now,” said Gu Juexi after taking a quick glance at Ye Yuwei and focusing on the road again.

Knowing that Gu Juexi had his own plans, Ye Yuwei stopped asking questions.

Gu Juexi took another glance at Ye Yuwei when she fell silent, and said, “I thought you would get down from the car too and spar with him.”

“Don’t expect everyone to be like you— sparring with anyone whenever you get the chance,” Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes and said. No one other than Gu Juexi was here to see her anyway.

Gu Juexi did not deny Ye Yuwei’s accusation. “That’s just phoney. Pretending to be okay with something but secretly hating its guts.”

“That’s how you deal with human relations,” said Ye Yuwei while waving her hand at Gu Juexi, “forget it, someone like you who doesn’t even have many friends would never understand how human relations work.”

Gu Juexi wasn’t upset at how his wife talked to him. In fact, he was in a fairly good mood, feeling far better than he had been for a while.

Ye Yuwei ignored Gu Juexi and saw Xiao Yaojing’s text when she whipped out her phone.

“Did PA Wen come from ancient times?” asked Ye Yuwei while replying Xiao Yaojing’s text.

“That’s what we call being responsible,” Gu Juexi scoffed.

“Look who’s talking about being responsible,” Ye Yuwei sneered.

“Are you trying to pick up a fight?” asked Gu Juexi who was starting to get upset.

Ye Yuwei giggled cheekily as she hit “send” on her phone. “Yaojing asked for my opinion because PA Wen is not buying the idea of a shotgun wedding.”

“Stop minding their business when you have so many unsolved problems yourself,” said Gu Juexi while driving very slowly on the bumpy road.

“I think you are right about me having too many unsolved problems myself. Especially relationship-wise, I am not sure if I want to settle down with the same man for the rest of my life,” Ye Yuwei said while looking at Gu Juexi with a wicked smile.

“Hah! Don’t even think about leaving me, Ye Yuwei.” They had two kids together, he would be surprised if she ever went for another man.

[Yezi: What were you thinking when you decided to get married?

Yaojing: Why? Was your man being rude again?

Yaojing: It was different for my case, I have the say in my relationship with Wen Tao.

Yezi: …

Yezi: You will know when it’s the right time. You think marriage is all sunshine and rainbows? It is easier to get into a marriage than to exit it.

Yaojing: You are pretty worked up. What did your man say this time?

Yezi: Are you taking pleasure in my misfortune? I wonder how I got a friend like you.

Yaojing: Tsk, tsk. It was you who swore to marry him and him only back then. Why do you regret it now?

Yezi: I was too young and naïve at that time.

Yaojing: Let’s not keep talking about you. Remember why I came to you? Give me some ideas already about what I should do.]

Ye Yuwei was speechless at this person she called her friend.

[Yezi: What if we drug him?

Yaojing: That is so cheap!

Yaojing: … But I like it.]
