The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei slept for another hour before she dragged herself to the bathroom to wash up. She looked at her pitifully sleep-deprived reflection and was determined to say “no” to Gu Juexi if he ever asked again.

Ye Yuwei washed up and took out a tube of cream that she had hardly used to cover up her dark circles before going downstairs. She greeted her mother-in-law as she went downstairs and saw Xixi still choosing the plate that she wanted to use for breakfast. Gu Juexi was letting her be while Ye Xicheng was watching the way his father spoiled his sister in disbelief.

Ye Yuwei reached out to pick the plate nearest to her and put it in front of Xixi. Xixi lifted her head to look at her mother and pursed her lips to protest silently.

Gu Juexi pulled out a chair for Ye Yuwei and watched as she sat down. “Why are you so grumpy?”

Ye Yuwei scoffed but immediately brightened up when she saw the dumplings on the table.

“Master went out early in the morning for these,” said Auntie Qian while serving Ye Yuwei the dumplings.

Ye Yuwei’s mood improved almost instantly.

Feeling that their Daddy and Mommy weren’t paying attention to them, Xixi and Ye Xicheng exchanged looks.

Ye Yuwei had actually suggested the dumplings so that Gu Juexi would leave her alone and let her sleep, and she dared say it because she knew that a man like Gu Juexi would never take it seriously.

So Ye Yuwei hadn’t expected Gu Juexi to actually buy her the dumplings.

Gu Juexi continued his breakfast with a poker face, as if it wasn’t him that Auntie Qian was talking about.

Wen Jie was in a good mood too. Her mind was finally at ease after seeing how thoughtful her son now was towards her daughter-in-law.

Gu Juexi fed Xixi a dumpling when the little girl asked for it. She scrunched up her nose when she tasted it and looked at her mother as if asking how she could like something like that.

Ye Yuwei was speechless. What kind of expression was that? The dumplings were definitely one of the best that she had tried.

Ye Yuwei loved the dumplings because she ate them a lot when she wasn’t that rich back then. The dumplings were not just cheap, but they were also near her workplace.

The irony was that during that time, she actually was the legal wife of Mr. Gu.

Gu Juexi tried one too and adopted the same expression as his daughter. Why would Ye Yuwei like to eat something as oily as that?

“I ate this the most when I was working at the bank. I got a nice meal for just five bucks,” said Ye Yuwei while eating her dumplings.

Gu Juexi fell silent.

Gu Juexi had always felt guilty about Ye Yuwei not getting paid during her time at the bank and didn’t dare say anything more about it.

Wen Jie heard their conversation and only looked at her son with a faint smile.

Wen Jie needed to go to the hospital after breakfast, and Butler Kim, Xiao Yuan, and the driver tagged along.

“Shouldn’t we get going too?” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi and asked after sending her mother-in-law off.

Gu Juexi reached out to stroke her hair and told Auntie Qian to take care of the two kids as they left together to the SRC.

They got their driver to drive them there since PA Wen was not around.

Ye Yuwei was checking the data for the last time on their way there when Gu Juexi received a call from PA Wen.

Gu Juexi put PA Wen on loudspeaker and Ye Yuewi looked at him curiously.

Ye Yuwei was touched at how Gu Juexi had done it without her asking.

“I went to Ma Zhong’s house. I have an idea and I think it might work,” said PA Wen.
