The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Chapter 1653: Lil Wei’er, I Am Cong Cong

Ye Yuwei looked at Ye Cong with confusion in her eyes, as though she was hoping to find out something more from his eyes. However, she could not remember such a person in her memory no matter how hard she tried.

“Do we— know each other?” Eventually, Ye Yuwei asked, unable to withstand the suspense anymore.

When Ye Cong heard Ye Yuwei’s question, he finally sighed. “As expected, you have forgotten.”

Ye Yuwei did not know what to say. “…”

Ye Cong?

She could hardly remember the existence of this name, nor could she remember this person.

Things were taking an awkward turn. It was the truth that she did not remember this person at all.

Yet, what should she do now?

“Why don’t you give me a hint?” Ye Yuwei said as her lips twitched.

Finally, Ye Cong was amused by Ye Yuwei’s actions and reached out to pat her head.

Pat her head?

This action was way too intimate, was it not?

Ye Yuwei widened her eyes and looked at the man standing opposite her. She subconsciously took a step back. If Gu Juexi knew about this, he would probably chop off this man’s hand immediately. Gu Juexi was a man like that, after all.

“What are you doing, sir?” Ye Yuwei’s expression turned cold as she swallowed the words ‘Mr. Ye’ hard.

Ye Cong did not miss the nervousness that flashed across her eyes. He also caught—without fail—the shape of her lips that returned to their pursed state.

“I apologize for my rudeness,” Ye Cong said politely. At the same time, he also took a step back, giving Ye Yuwei enough space.

However, even if Ye Cong retreated a step, the overwhelming sensation was still there for Ye Yuwei. She could only hope that Gu Juexi would arrive soon.

“It seems that Mrs. Gu really doesn’t recognize me.” The disappointment on Ye Cong’s face was so dire that it made Ye Yuwei feel like she had done something terrible.

“Sir, if you are Gu Juexi’s friend, you can look for Gu Juexi at Gu Enterprise. This is the bank, he won’t be here,” Ye Yuwei said with a straight face.

Ye Yuwei never had a babyface, to begin with. On the contrary, since she had been with Gu Juexi for so long, she developed a somewhat cold demeanor. Therefore, when she pulled a straight face, she looked rather serious.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the phone, Gu Juexi was basically racing down the roads when he heard Ye Yuwei’s words.

Ye Cong was testing Ye Yuwei; that man was testing Ye Yuwei in this manner.

If she admitted that she knew him now, it would mean that Gu Juexi had mentioned Ye Cong to Ye Yuwei before. However, Gu Juexi would never bring up Ye Cong for no reason, unless something was up—something like what Mo Fei did.

That cunning man had indeed set his eyes on Ye Yuwei.

Yet, Gu Juexi could not simply show up now, or it would prove that Ye Yuwei had informed him beforehand.

Ye Cong, this sinister old man.

“I was just passing by. I know that Mrs. Gu works here, so I came upstairs to take a look,” Ye Cong replied as he turned to look at the sofa. “Mrs. Gu, do you mind if I sit down?”

It was rude of her not to invite her guests to sit down, but Ye Yuwei did not feel that she was being rude at all.

Ye Cong sat down without waiting for Ye Yuwei to respond. Ye Yuwei went to pour him some water and put the cup on the table.

“Lil Wei’er, I’m Cong Cong,” uttered Ye Cong suddenly in a voice that was full of helplessness.

Ye Yuwei’s head shot up immediately to look at the man sitting on the sofa. Cong Cong?

“My name is Ye Cong. I’m Ye Cong, remember?” Ye Cong leaned forward slightly and approached Ye Yuwei, who was in the middle of passing him his cup of water. “Orphanage? Mama Ye? The little boy who kept stealing your snacks?”
