The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei studied the distance between Gu Juexi and herself, and took note of the flow of water and the angles of the surrounding area.

“I’m here to watch you die. What’s the matter? Six years ago, I gave you the chance to watch me die but why haven’t you given me the same opportunity?” Ye Yuwei sneered again.

Gu Juexi was speechless and felt like his heart was being torn apart.

“What are you doing?” Gu Juexi frowned, obviously estimating the angles as well.

“Helping to find the best route for you to jump to your death. Don’t you know that Mathematics is the father of Physics? Call me ‘Father’.” As Ye Yuwei spoke, her gaze started to focus on one point.

Gu Juexi gave a bitter laugh but did not reply.

The old man leaning against Gu Juexi’s back chuckled. “Are you both quarreling now, young married couple? From what this old man can see, both of you are doing just fine.”

Gu Juexi’s expression was one of disbelief.

How could they be fine?

What was fine about his wife and son teaming up against him?

Once Ye Yuwei finished estimating, she bent down and picked up a stone. She then gauged its weight before throwing it into the water. The stone quickly disappeared.

“Well, well, well, Gu Juexi, it seems that this is much more exciting than that time at the sea,” Ye Yuwei said sarcastically. In her heart, she would never admit what she had experienced on her way up the mountain–no one would ever know. No one could ever know how much this man had frightened her.

It was not until the moment she saw him that her worries retreated, but they were very quickly replaced by anger.

She knew that he was the best in the army and that he was a soldier. However, under these circumstances, did he not once consider that he was also the father of two children?

This was a life-threatening situation!

That man obviously did not seem to realize it at all. Was she supposed to applaud his righteousness in this situation?

“For a woman like you–when you go back, let Wen Shan sing you the song ‘Bracing the Chill’ to celebrate your widowhood,” Gu Juexi bit out through gritted teeth. Holding the old man securely on his back, he stared at the stream in front of him. He had to make sure that he could bring the old man to a point beyond three meters ahead. Unfortunately, that distance was a bit far for him.

Ye Yuwei looked back at the Major. “What is the length of the rope belt?”

“Seven meters,” the major supplied hastily.

Seven meters. Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and looked at Gu Juexi. “Mr. Gu, what is the length of your arm?”

“Long enough to hug you.”

Ye Yuwei’s jaw dropped.

Damn his perverse behavior!

What had possessed him to say endearing words at such a time?

Did he think he was the only one who knew how to say loving words?

“There should be a big rock underneath at about thirty-seven degrees in front of you. Its flow rate is diverted so you can go across through that direction,” Ye Yuwei explained. The major hurriedly had his people bring a rope belt to go over and provide support.

“Wait, I’ll go.” The major said, taking rope belts from a soldier. One was tied around his waist while the other was knotted to the previous one.

Tiny beads of sweat began forming on Ye Yuwei’s forehead but they were concealed by the rain. No one but her would know about it.

If the Major’s rope belt didn’t manage to hook onto Gu Juexi’s or if there were any problems with Gu Juexi’s leap-off angle, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“Gu Juexi, when I came out earlier, your girl asked me when you were coming back. Your girl is still waiting for you.” Ye Yuwei wrung her hands and looked at the man in the distance. The rain had blurred her vision, but she quickly wiped her eyes to clear them.

Ye Yuwei was afraid—her clasped hands, trembling body, and firm gaze on Gu Juexi betrayed her emotions.

She knew that if Gu Juexi did not come today, he would regret it for a lifetime.

However, she knew all the more that if any mishap were to befall Gu Juexi today, her life would really be ruined.

It was only now that she realized how Gu Juexi must have felt when he watched her jump down six years ago.
