The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei quickly rushed over and held him, trying to calm him down.
“Mommy is here.
Why are you awake at this time?”

Ye Xicheng hugged Ye Yuwei’s neck tightly with his little hands and answered softly, “Both you and Xixi were not around.” Even the old meatball had disappeared so he felt a little scared at being left alone.

Ye Yuwei kissed her son’s cheek affectionately and explained, “Your sister is not feeling well so Granny Yao is checking her.”

“What happened to her?” Ye Xicheng asked his mother anxiously, then pleaded, “Mommy, I want to see Xixi now.”

When Ye Yuwei carried Ye Xicheng to his sister, he noticed Yuan Mo there and immediately pushed him away.
He looked at his sister, hesitating a little as he did not dare touch her.

Ye Yuwei quickly steadied Yuan Mo and reprimanded her son sternly, “Ye Xicheng.”

“Auntie, it is fine.
Brother Xicheng is too worried about little sister.” Yuan Mo came to the rescue by defending Ye Xicheng.

Ye Xicheng snorted.
‘What a contradictory person!’

“How is Xixi?” Ye Xicheng asked worriedly, concerned about his sister.

She had just started her acupuncture treatment.
Although she was still sweating, her condition had improved.

Master Yao Lao caressed Ye Xicheng’s head gently and reassured him, “Xixi is alright now so there’s no need to worry.”

Old Man Yuan came into the room with a fresh herbal concoction.
Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi tried their best to feed the little girl and after a while, she looked better and fell asleep.

Yuan Mo declared that he wanted to stay with Xixi and Ye Yuwei did not object to it.
The only person who was not happy about it was Ye Xicheng.

She was his sister.

Gu Juexi did not have the energy to deal with his love rival now.
He just stared at his little girl who had finally dozed off.

At the end of the day, the two boys were still children and they looked exhausted.
Wen Jie took Ye Xicheng away to rest while Yuan Mo was dragged away by his grandpa who completely ignored his wish to stay.

After the acupuncture treatment was finished, Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei brought Xixi back.

It was three in the morning when they finally sat down.

Gu Juexi was holding his daughter’s tiny hand the whole time.
Staring at her knitted brows, he suddenly blurted out, “Ye Yuwei, as long as she is recovering, I am willing to do anything for her.”

Ye Yuwei took a deep breath, gathered herself, and kissed Xixi’s little head.
“It is I who should be responsible for what happened to her.”

Gu Juexi rubbed Ye Yuwei’s back gently and murmured, “Everything will be alright.”

He himself did not sound convincing as he wasn’t so sure about it either.
After all, Master Yao Lao had already spoken to them earlier.

“You don’t have to console me.
I know more about Xixi’s health and body than you do.” Ye Yuwei shrugged Gu Juexi’s hand off from her body and sighed.

Gu Juexi did not say a word.
Perhaps he did not know what else he could say.

Both of them were at fault for Xixi’s current state.

Since Xixi’s body had undergone changes, both Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi were constantly nervous.
The little girl refused to take injections and medication.
She constantly needed to be pampered and in this case, Gu Juexi had much more patience than Ye Yuwei.

During the acupuncture treatment, little girl would wail and refuse to cooperate so they could only put the needles in her when she was asleep.
However, she would immediately throw a tantrum once she woke up.
Gu Juexi would hold her and coax her patiently.
When she refused to take her medication, Ye Xicheng would accompany his sister and even drink the herbal concoction as well sometimes.

After a few days, Xixi had shed a few pounds.
Ye Yuwei realized that even Gu Juexi had lost some weight since he insisted on doing everything personally for their little daughter.
Even though there were times that Ye Yuwei felt she had reached her emotional threshold, Gu Juexi was still holding on.

To be honest, Gu Juexi had a really bad temper.
Ye Yuwei had seen too many incidents where he had lost his temper due to a lack of patience.
However, he seemed to tolerate everything when it came to their daughter.
He never snapped or lost control.

He really gave all his genuine affection and warmth to his family.
