The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei was bored until the clock struck midnight. Considering they had to go visit Master Yao Lao tomorrow, she had to force herself to sleep. She was jealous of Gu Juexi at the moment, for he was able to sleep like a log even though he had sustained serious injuries.

Ye Yuwei cuddled into Gu Juexi’s side and counted his eyelashes to help her sleep. Time went by unknowingly and eventually she fell asleep.

After a night of dreamless sleep, Gu Juexi was already done packing up and even called for room service when Ye Yuwei slowly opened her eyes.

Ye Yuwei was felt a little dizzy when she sat upright. Gu Juexi put his laptop down, walked to the bedside, sat beside her and kissed her lips. “Good morning, my little piggy.”

Ye Yuwei blinked at him. “Oh yes, someone sent you an email last night, saying something about someone disappearing in Africa.”

“I know,” Gu Juexi said, urging Ye Yuwei to get up quickly.

Ye Yuwei grabbed his arm abruptly. “What do you know? You know, but I don’t. Who did you mean in the email?”

Gu Juexi turned back to look at her, squinted at her and said, “You don’t want to know about it and I have no intention of telling you.”

Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes back at him.

“Are you involved in something illegal?” Ye Yuwei’s hands were still holding him. Nothing else could worry more than him being involved in illegal activities.

Gu Juexi used his other hand to pat her head. “What are you talking about? Am I not the picture of justice and integrity? How could a person like me do something illegal?”

Ye Yuwei wanted to throw up all of the sudden.

“Quick, come and have your breakfast,” Gu Juexi said and walked towards the dining table.

Although she was not sure what was it that Gu Juexi was hiding from her, she was very certain that it was related to her.

Ye Yuwei got up to go wash up. By the time she came out of the bathroom, Gu Juexi had already set the table for breakfast.

Ye Yuwei glanced at the room service menu that was placed at the corner of the table. She gasped, glaring at the spendthrift sitting across from her. Simple breakfast noodles—the one you could have as many servings as you pleased in the buffet restaurant downstairs— was a hundred and eighty dollars a plate when it was sent to the room as room service. That’s the spirit of Mr. Gu.

Ye Yuwei took a seat beside Gu Juexi. “Can Mom come today?”

“No, she can’t. We will head over to Master Yao Lao first,” Gu Juexi said while pouring the noodle sauce for her. “We can visit the old man on the mountain as well.”

Ye Yuwei figured the old man was the one he had rescued the other day.

Ye Yuwei stirred the noodles in her bowl using the chopsticks. She thought for a bit then said, “Gu Juexi, when we were at Feng County, my grandfather mentioned that they moved before. What is your objective coming here?”

Gu Juexi looked at her while having his breakfast. He put his chopsticks on the table, unscrewed the water bottle cap and drank. “Guess.”

Ye Yuwei glared at him. ‘I am going to kill you, for real.’

Gu Juexi twisted the bottle cap shut, placed it on the table and resumed eating the noodles. “Honestly, I don’t know. I just feel that there are too many coincidences happening around us recently.”

“Do you suspect that they moved here?” Ye Yuwei still had no desire to eat.

“No. Your grandfather didn’t have to hide the information regarding where they moved to. I fathom, perhaps someone has prepared a riddle for us,” Gu Juexi patted her head and said, “Don’t waste your pathetically tiny brain cells, your husband is right here. Just wait for my win.”
