The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

The moment Ye Yuwei exited the room, she saw her son running toward her. She quickly smoothed down her pajamas and carried him. “What’s wrong, my dear?”

“Mommy, where have you been?” Ye Xicheng pouted unhappily as he hugged Ye Yuwei’s neck.

Ye Yuwei’s lips twitched. Why did it feel like she had been caught in bed by her son?

“I went to sleep,” replied Ye Yuwei, carrying her son to the guest room.

Gu Juexi laid on the bed for a little while. He finally got up, grabbed some clothes and went to the study room. He sat by his desk and switched on his laptop, initiating a system and extracting Ye Shu’s photos.

The defined face of Ye Shu reflected in his eyes. He keyed in a line of code then waited for the sequence of codes to start running. He called PA Wen while waiting for the codes to run. “Postpone the opening of the resort.”

“Postpone? Again?” PA Wen asked in shock and curiosity.

“Yes. I’ll keep you posted on the exact date,” said Gu Juexi and immediately ended the call. He continued to stare at the photo of Ye Shu. “It doesn’t matter if you are a human or a ghost; if you want a challenge, bring it on.”

Knock—knock—

Suddenly, there was a knock on the study room’s door. He looked over and saw Wen Jie standing by the door.

“Mom,” addressed Gu Juexi. He closed the windows on his laptop and walked up to his mother.

“I saw the lights in the study still on. You are not fully recovered yet, why are you up so late?” asked Wen Jie. Gu Juexi held her hands and sat on the sofa with her.

“I overslept during the day, so I am not sleepy now,” replied Gu Juexi.

“Health matters most,” advised Wen Jie, “It’s been a rough journey for you and Weiwei to have come this far. Spend more time with her. You can’t rush your work anyway, haste makes waste.”

“I know, Mom,” mumbled Gu Juexi. The current problem was that dear son of his didn’t want to give him a chance at all.

“It’s normal that Xicheng has problems with you. You had issues with your father too, remember?” Wen Jie patted her son’s hands. She knew how intense the battle between father and son was.

Gu Juexi sneered. His son was even more unchivalrous than he was.

Even more shady.

“Mom, what could I do to him? After all, he is my son. What harm could I possibly bring him into?” complained Gu Juexi. He looked at the time, a frown tugging at his lips. “Mom, there’s something I want to—”

“Yes?” Wen Jie was listening, yet she didn’t wait until Gu Juexi finished asking before she prompted him curiously.

Gu Juexi took a deep breath and chuckled. “Nothing, Mom. It’s late, please get some rest.”

However, Wen Jie had no intention of leaving. Her son had nothing to ask, but she had something to say.

“Juexi,” Wen Jie tugged Gu Juexi’s hands lightly to make him sit beside her, “Juexi, the journey that you and Weiwei went through to be together up until this day, I’m sure you know better than anyone how difficult it was. So, promise me, no matter what happens, don’t hurt her again.”

Gu Juexi hesitated for a minute after listening to his mother, uneasiness resurfacing in his heart.
