The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei lowered her head. Her throat burned as her emotions overwhelmed her. Ye Xicheng’s little hand hovered in the air, awaiting his mother’s grasp.

‘Mommy, I want to walk you down the aisle. I said before that I’d give Mommy away to someone trustworthy.’

Ye Yuwei slowly reached out and gently placed her hand in his small palm.

Ye Xicheng looked at his mother solemnly and turned away when his mother placed her hand in his. With a steady pace, he walked his mother into the hall.

Ye Yuwei followed her son’s lead. As they made their way down the aisle, the guests gasped and held their breaths as they saw the little boy walking his mother down the aisle.

Ye Yuwei held back her tears as she recalled the time when she gave birth to her two children. When Xixi was born, she had cried loudly but now, she was quietly holding her fist to her chest.

Ye Yuwei still remembered the time when she was exhausted from work and felt like crying. Her little boy who wasn’t even a year old would hold onto the sides of the table just so that he could stumble over to Yu Yuwei to give her a hug.

She still remembered that time when she drank too much alcohol due to work stress. Her son, at such a tender age, stood by the bathroom door, observing her. Those eyes had been filled with concern and love, and sorrow and anguish too. After that day, he took on the responsibility of taking care of his baby sister. He had only been two years old back then.

She also remembered how, when other children were just starting to walk, he had already learned how to step on the small stool to watch his mom cook. He even helped her prepare the bowls and chopsticks and said that once he was old enough, he would cook and wait for Mommy to return home for dinner.

She recalled, as she was working in the office, that his baby sister had fallen down and hurt herself. He had been afraid yet he had suppressed his fears and ran down to look for help from a police officer. As his baby sister was rushed to the hospital, he had placed his face in his palms and continuously murmured, “Xixi will be alright, she’s just slightly hurt.”

She remembered—

All those memories of him, all these small details of the things he had done for her. Ye Yuwei was supposed to be his mother, yet she was the one who had been taken care of.

He was still so young but he always showed up when she was helpless, to hold her hand with a smile and say, “Mommy, I will grow up soon. I’ll definitely protect you and Sister when I’m older.”

Ye Xicheng was still a young boy, taking small steps. Ye Yuwei couldn’t help tearing up as she followed his pace. Her tears began flowing down her cheeks.

Gu Juexi, who was standing next to the MC, turned around and saw them. As a father, he felt touched and proud.

As Ye Xicheng walked towards his father, he looked up and saw his teary mother.

“Mommy, I once promised that I will take care of you and Xixi when I grow up, but I’ve now realized that it’s going to take a while before that happens. Until then, I will give Mommy to Daddy first because other than me, Daddy is the one who will love Mommy and Sister most.”

Ye Xicheng’s voice was soft with a hint of joy to it.

Ye Yuwei couldn’t stop crying. She covered her lips with her hands and tears began falling down the back of her hands. Ye Yuwei knelt in front of her son and hugged his small frame, her nose stinging from the crying.

Ye Xicheng, who was very mature for his age, gently patted his mother’s back. He then lifted his head and looked at Gu Juexi. “I’m temporarily lending Mommy to you. Please protect her during that time. I will want to take her back in the future.”

The little fellow had a lot of courage. He was so serious when he spoke those words.
