The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“Of course not!” Ye Xicheng interjected instantly. He reached out to grab his sister’s chubby hand.

Ye Yuwei smiled quietly. It would have overjoyed Mr. Gu if he knew that his son was on the same side as him for once.

Generally, whenever Xixi was expected, you heard her before you saw her. The minute they arrived at Master Yao Lao’s house and got out of the car, Xixi shouted for her father excitedly.

Gu Juexi stood by the door with a smile. When he saw his darling daughter, he immediately rushed over to embrace her.

Ye Yuwei ignored the father-daughter bonding and went to the car boot to take the luggage out. Ye Xicheng and Yuan Mo went over simultaneously to help.

“My mommy doesn’t need your help,” said Ye Xicheng sharply.

“Xicheng, why are you talking to him like that? Don’t be rude,” Ye Yuwei chided.

“Hmph, sly fox,” uttered Ye Xicheng repulsively. He carried the bag that was packed with his and his sister’s things into the house strenuously.

Ye Yuwei was dumbfounded by her son’s attitude.

While carrying his daughter, Gu Juexi raised his eyebrows in pride upon hearing his son’s remarks. He was definitely his son! When Ye Xicheng passed them, Gu Juexi picked up the bag with his free hand and walked into the house. It was obviously too heavy for his son to carry.

Ye Yuwei snorted and turned around to look at Yuan Mo. “Yuan Mo, I am so sorry. Xicheng is very protective of his sister and he doesn’t like it when his sister is overly friendly to other children.”

“Don’t worry Aunt, I understand,” said Yuan Mo rather timidly, “Seems like there’s nothing else that I can help with, so I’ll dismiss myself. My grandfather said to leave the car for you since you and Uncle Gu will be staying here for some time. You can just call me if you need any help, I’m familiar with the places around here.”

“Okay, thank you!” Ye Yuwei patted his head. “Please thank your grandfather on our behalf.”

Yuan Mo nodded. He sprinted home joyfully. He had finally met the cute little sister!

After Yuan Mo left, Ye Yuwei pushed the luggage inside. Wen Jie was chatting with Master Yao Lao—the clinic was closed today. Ye Xicheng was leaning beside his grandmother. As for the neverending father-daughter bonding, Ye Yuwei and her son gave them the cold shoulder.

“Xicheng, why are you so rude to the brother?” Ye Yuwei scolded her son after putting the luggage away.

Ye Xicheng raised his head slowly and pouted. “I don’t like the way he looks at Xixi.”

“Ye Yuwei, I too warned you about him. What fault does my son have? Why do you scold him?” Gu Juexi stared coldly at Ye Yuwei.

“Mom, look at them,” Ye Yuwei complained angrily.

“Okay, that’s enough. Xixi is their darling treasure; we mothers don’t hold any special spot in their hearts,” Wen Jie chuckled.

“Mom, what are you talking about?” Gu Juexi frowned at the remark, giving his daughter water.

“Mommy, Mommy! I love you the most!” Ye Xicheng said seriously, rushing over to her and hugging her legs tightly.

Gu Juexi watched them and chuckled quietly. His son was such an apple-polisher.

Ye Yuwei hugged her son. She always had a soft spot for him.

“Brother Yuan Mo is very good looking,” Xixi said with a shy smile.

Ye Xicheng and Gu Juexi both turned to look at her indignantly, so she rolled her eyes playfully and said, “My daddy and brother are the most handsome.”

Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes at three of them. She decided it was better for her to get the luggage in than to watch their shenanigans.

Gu Juexi carried Xixi in his arms and let Master Yao Lao take her pulse. Gu Juexi was exceptionally prudent and cautious due to the severity of Xixi’s illness that even Master Yao Lao found critical.
