The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Xiao Yaojing recalled the events of the day.
She washed her face, grabbed a towel to wipe it then said, “I told you not to come! If you weren’t there, I would have eaten your brother up!”

Wen Shan admired Xiao Yaojing’s bold and confident personality.
Her admiration was more of a well-intended envy because she could not behave the same way as Xiao Yaojing did.

“My brother insisted! And you never told me about your heroic attempt! Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll only listen to you.
I’ll never ever listen to him anymore,” Wen Shan raised her hand and swore.

“I lost my passion because of your mom, I will stop my seducing right now,” Xiao Yaojing giggled and watched Wen Shan taking her turn to wash her face.

“All this while, I always thought that Yezi was dim-witted in terms of relationships, now you make me feel like you belong in the same group too! If you like him, shoot your shot!” Xiao Yaojing said, rather annoyingly.

“But I am a lady.
Wouldn’t I look desperate if I make the first move? I should be more reserved, shouldn’t I?” asked Wen Shan while washing her face.

“Yes, keep it up! I love listening to you and the other melodramatic girls talk about being reserved.
Do you think being reserved can make your dreams come true?” Xiao Yaojing uttered sarcastically, collapsing onto the bed.
“Listen, finding someone you like isn’t easy.
If you never express how you feel about him, it will become a thorn in your heart forever and sting you whenever the memory resurfaces.
But if you confess, it’s either he likes you back—and you live happily ever after—or he doesn’t, and you move on.”

After washing her face, Wen Shan walked out from the bathroom, grabbed a stool and sat by the bed.
“Sister Jing, please be frank with me.
Did you ever like somebody before Lu Qichuan?”

Xiao Yaojing was cradling her tablet, resuming the show that she hadn’t finished watching earlier.
She threw a cold stare at Wen Shan after hearing her question.
“Six years! Do you know how many days and nights there were in six years? Reason does not come before years; I learned that the hard way through every rejection.
I don’t even have to outsource the service if I want to establish a relationship consultant company.”

Wen Shan cupped her chin in both her hands and looked at her dreamily.
“So, have you moved on from Brother Lu?”

“It was never a real deal, what should I move on from?” Xiao Yaojing exclaimed annoyingly.

… Yes, that made sense.

“Right now, I envy Sister Yuwei the most, Brother Gu treats her like a queen,” sighed Wen Shan with a hint of jealousy.

“That is because you never see your Brother Gu when he is a nasty buffoon.” The impression Xiao Yaojing had on Gu Juexi was unlikely to change in this lifetime.

“A fault confessed is half redressed; Brother Gu is making amends and he is definitely going to treat Sister Yuwei even better now.” Crowned as Gu Juexi’s number one fan, Wen Shan would be forever faithful to him.

Xiao Yaojing wanted to argue about that, but looking at the superfan in front of her, she had lost the will to talk altogether.
“Let me ask you this.
One day, if your Papa Nalan and your Brother Gu are fighting, whose side would you take?”

“I’ll let them beat me,” Wen Shan answered instantly.

At a loss for words, Xiao Yaojing covered her face with the blanket.
She had finally met another woman who was even more hopelessly ignorant than Ye Yuwei.

At the airport.

Ye Yuwei had brought Yuan Mo with her to the airport.
Gu Juexi could not tag along as he was being confined in the house by Master Yao Lao for an acupuncture session.

As they waited for the plane to land, Ye Yuwei felt that the little boy beside her was more anxious than she.

“Yuan Mo, are you unwell?” Ye Yuwei squatted down and asked worriedly.

“Auntie, is the little sister arriving soon?” asked Yuan Mo shyly, blinking his large eyes.

“Yes, she will disembark soon.” Ye Yuwei tidied his clothing.
“Yuan Mo, do you like her?”

“She is very adorable,” said Yuan Mo directly, “So I don’t want her to be sick.”

Before she could reply, she heard her little girl shrieking in excitement.
