The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“PA Wen, you are overthinking this. May I know when Mr. Gu will be back in his position?” The chubby minister asked with a wide smile.

PA Wen signed the financial documents, smiled at him and said, “I am not sure about the CEO’s schedule, so I’m sorry but I can’t answer that question. Don’t worry though, I am authorized to handle this issue.”

“Looks like Mr. Gu has a lot of confidence in you since you are in the saddle now.”

“You’re too kind. If there’s nothing else to discuss, I have other business to tend to so let’s end our meeting,” PA Wen announced and stood up, a direct attempt to send him out of the room.

Minister Liu smiled and got to his feet. “I’ll see myself out then.” He exited the room with his secretary and mumbled irritatedly, “Who does he think he is? He’s just a lowly PA.”

“PA, the deal is sealed anyway,” his secretary said with a smile. Even though PA Wen was just a PA, he was the most excellent PA in the whole of B City and it would not end well if they underestimated him.

“Okay, you can go home early today,” PA Wen instructed and took out his phone.

“Thank you very much, PA!” The secretary thanked him gratefully and rushed out. The best thing for white-collars was to get off work early.

PA Wen checked the message from Ye Yuwei and his expression darkened menacingly. He walked out of the office hastily and made a call.

“Are you home? Where are you now?”

Xiao Yaojing distanced her ear from the phone hurriedly. Good grief, this man had gained the courage to face demons!

“Wen Tao, who do you think you are yelling at?” Xiao Yaojing confronted him coldly.

PA Wen was silent.

‘How could you get into another man’s car?’ PA Wen could only chide her in his mind.

“Where are you now? Are you home yet? I’m done here, I’ll come and meet you.” PA Wen suppressed his temper and composed himself. He never liked Qian Yikun, not before, not now, not ever.

Xiao Yaojing was satisfied with his attitude. She looked out of her window. “I’m at the lobby of my apartment. I don’t mind if you want to accompany me to go upstairs to my house.”

PA Wen blinked. He was at his wit’s end.

Xiao Yaojing sighed, “Let’s just call it a day, return to our respective homes, and console our mothers. We’ll exchange notes of the results tonight.”

The most horrifying thing that could ever happen was finding out that your mother and future mother-in-law were rivals during a potential in-laws meeting.

PA Wen walked out of his office, entered his car and asked, “Who did you meet earlier?”

Xiao Yaojing raised her eyebrows. “I think I have to sit down with Gu Juexi and talk this through. Why does his wife keep sending messages to my guy, do you think—.” Beep beep. Xiao Yaojing unlocked her apartment door and tutted in dismay. He really was a mouse that was terrified of the Juexi-cat.

PA Wen threw his phone into the passenger seat and took a deep breath. The uneasiness in his heart did not go away. How did Qian Yikun find Xiao Yaojing?

He did not dare to direct the question at Xiao Yaojing herself because he knew that he was not on par with her.

Why was life so hard? The only thing that he wanted was to find a wife, what was wrong with that?

On second thought, he decided to head home and try his best to soothe his furious mother. She had quite a good impression of Xiao Yaojing from the previous meeting so he hoped this issue did not change his mother’s mind about her.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to both of them.
