The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“Gu Juexi, what’s the matter with you? He’s your son! Is there anything wrong with his statement?” Ye Yuwei hugged her son and exclaimed, “Or are you just making trouble?”

“Ye Yuwei, let’s make this clear. When did I beat him?”

“You raised your hand,” Ye Xicheng mumbled sadly, putting on his best poor-baby expression and hugging his mommy’s leg.

Gu Juexi was speechless.

“Do you have any proof? You said that you didn’t want to beat him, where is your proof?” Ye Yuwei questioned coldly. She knew there was a gap between father and son, but she couldn’t accept the idea of him beating their son.

Gu Juexi wished he could slap himself on the face right there and then. What proof did they want from him?

Little Xixi—laying on the bed and blinking her big eyes—had no clue what was going on.

“Ye Yuwei, can you not take his side every single time?” Gu Juexi growled in a low voice.

“What then? Take your side?” Ye Yuwei scoffed. She stood up, carrying Ye Xicheng, and went out of the room.

Gu Juexi gawked at the little meatball who was making faces at him while leaning on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder. That boy really made him want to raise his hand and beat someone for real. What was with him insisting on coming back? Was he stupid?

That little monster was his nemesis in this lifetime for sure.

Ye Yuwei carried Ye Xicheng to the guest room and put him on the bed. She wiped his tears away gently and asked, “You dislike him that much, huh?”

Ye Xicheng sat by the bed, rocking his little legs and pouting.

“He is your daddy. It’s because of him that I have you.” Ye Yuwei kneeled in front of her son and looked at him with her gentle eyes.

“I hate that he hurt you. All these years, the one who suffered the most is you,” Ye Xicheng whined softly. He felt that he was wronged after being told off by his mommy and genuinely cried this time.

Ye Yuwei hurriedly hugged her son in her arms and gently stroked his back, “I know. I know that you love me and feel sorry for me, I don’t blame you.”

Ye Xicheng hugged his mommy’s neck tightly with his small hands. He didn’t want his mommy to see him cry.

Ye Yuwei spent a long time consoling and comforting her son in the guest room.

“Mommy, sleep with Baby tonight,” Ye Xicheng requested seriously, eyes still red from crying.

Ye Yuwei listened to Ye Xicheng’s request and smiled. “Okay, I’ll sleep with you tonight.”

The little guy didn’t want his mommy to go to Gu Juexi, hence the firm request.

“I will wait until the day you are okay with me forgiving him then only I’ll forgive him. Deal?” Ye Yuwei said as she cradled her son and strolled around the room.

Little Xicheng leaned on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and nodded earnestly, seriousness in those watery big eyes.

‘Old Meatball, you’ll just have to keep waiting.’

Gu Juexi would never have imagined that his Waterloo ¹ was actually his own son.

If he ever found out that his own son had dug a trap for him, he would have been furious. Ever since he came back home, Gu Juexi rarely saw his own wife. She was either with Little Master, or with Little Master and Mistress. There was no one else except Little Master.

“Go and bring me Little Master.” He really had to sit down and talk to his son, properly and fervently.

“Young Master, Little Master just informed us that you don’t need to call him because he will not come.” The servant was shaking in fear. It was already a nightmare to have one young master, and now there was Little Master who would always annoy Young Master.

Why was it so hard to earn a living nowadays?
