The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei wanted to smile at Wen Jie, but she couldn’t manage it.

For the Gu family, it seemed like this incident would never be forgotten.

Her aunt had destroyed the Gu family. Wen Jie and Gu Juexi could put this behind them but not Gu Tianmu.

Wen Jie closed the door behind her. There was a loud crash from inside the room which sounded a lot like Gu Tianmu throwing his food box on the floor.

“Father and son are like two peas in a pod with their temperament. Don’t take his words to heart,” Wen Jie said, squeezing Ye Yuwei’s hands gently. “This has nothing to do with you, and besides, I believe in your aunt. I watched her grow up, and no one knows her better than I do.”

Even though the truth had already been revealed, her trust in the child persisted.

She was ambitious, but she knew where to draw the line.

Ye Yuwei dropped her gaze to the floor, not knowing what to say.

“Mom, I understand that Dad has some issues with me. I don’t mind,” Ye Yuwei said and laughed. “It’s late, why don’t you head home first? I will leave when Gu Juexi arrives.”

Wen Jie was exhausted from her long day at the hospital. She called the driver and left the hospital.

Ye Yuwei sat on the bench outside the room again. She understood Gu Juexi, so she could understand Gu Tianmu as well. Men like them were the hardest to persuade as they always thought they were right.

Like the divorce years ago.

Ye Yuwei was staring at the floor, deep in thought, when she sensed someone looking at her. When she looked up though, she only saw nurses walking around the floor.

She was at the VIP ward area, so the floor was quite vacant as there were not many patients or visiting family members around.

That peculiar feeling struck her again. She got up and walked towards the corner. This wasn’t the first time she felt like someone was watching her.

One step at a time, Ye Yuwei approached the corner. A vague shadow lingered there, but she wasn’t sure if it was from the trees outside the window or something else.

It began to rain. Rattling noises echoed in the vacant floor as raindrops hit the window panes.

“Honey—”

Someone tapped Ye Yuwei’s shoulder, and she jolted so violently it was as if her heart had almost burst out of her chest.

“What are you doing?” She shrieked, voice thick with fear. She rubbed her chest vigorously to calm the furious beating of her heart.

She had been so focused on trying to find out who was there, her soul had almost left her body when Gu Juexi had touched her.

Gu Juexi frowned and looked at the corner Ye Yuwei was approaching. The lane was empty, and the smell of disinfectant surrounded them.

“What are you looking at?” Gu Juexi blinked at Ye Yuwei who was still breathing heavily. He took a second glance at the corner, but there was nothing there.

Ye Yuwei took a deep breath to compose herself. She glared at Gu Juexi fiercely and exclaimed, “Someone is following me.”

Gu Juexi froze at her remark. He walked to the corner where the corridor extended to. The windows of the corridor were open, letting the rain in. Gu Juexi looked out of the window. Due to the rain, there were no pedestrians walking outside. The road was empty.

Gu Juexi walked back from the corridor. “Are you sure?”

Ye Yuwei nodded determinedly. “The first time I felt it was when I was shopping with Mom, and the second time was when I was in the underground parking. This is the third time. I’m not being sensitive, I’m really sure someone is following me.”
