The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy
chapter-1085

Madam Zhou’s words brought back memories from the past. In the end, Ye Yuwei just smiled.

“We already have two kids, what romance is there left? Besides, it’s been so many years since I graduated. It’s fine if he’s unwilling to go. I don’t want the university to use me to convince him,” Ye Yuwei murmured.

“That’s true,” Madam Zhou said as she asked Ye Yuwei to help her get some plates from the cabinet above her.

“The years have gone by so quickly. I still remember your freshman year, when such a young Ye Yuwei went on stage to receive an award. We still have your portrait at home.” Madam Zhou smiled at the memories.

Ye Yuwei stood on her toes to reach the plates in the cabinet and passed them to Madam Zhou. She remembered she was pretty short in her freshman year, not nearly as tall as she was now.

Photo album?

Gu Juexi raised his brows, his interest sparked.

Gu Juexi did not enter the kitchen. He turned and walked around in the living room, and finally chanced upon a photo frame on one side of the wall. A few photos of students receiving awards were placed inside.

Gu Juexi easily spotted the image of young Ye Yuwei. He had seen Ye Yuwei when she was in her freshman year, but he had merely glanced at her.

Beside her stood Xiao Yaojing. Xiao Yaojing was a lot taller than Ye Yuwei back then. Ye Yuwei was really tiny.

Gu Juexi found a few photos of Ye Yuwei. It was as Professor Zhou had put it: if she didn’t marry him, she would probably have achieved greater heights in academics.

But he couldn’t admit that Ye Yuwei did not achieve as much now.

Looking back, if she had chosen a different route back then, she would be leading an entirely different life in a parallel universe. But to Gu Juexi, the path she was on now was the most suitable one.

“What are you looking at?” Ye Yuwei wondered curiously as she walked out of the kitchen.

Gu Juexi put his arm around Ye Yuwei’s neck and pointed at a photo of her when she was in her second year. It was taken right before the fork in her life.

“If you had chosen the other road, can you see yourself leading a different life?” Gu Juexi pointed with his left hand, still holding Ye Yuwei around the neck with the same arm.

“The parallel universe assumption?” Ye Yuwei raised her head to look at Gu Juexi, and seeing him nodding his head, she answered, “Probably a mad scientist running around in the research laboratory. Maybe someone like Wen Shan who studied until her PhD. But one thing I am sure of is that version of me would not be as blissful as this version of me.”

Gu Juexi was very satisfied with the answer.

“What did Professor Zhou discuss with you?” Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s hand and spun out of his embrace. They were in someone else’s house after all.

“He said if it wasn’t for me, you could have achieved more. Therefore, I was trying to imagine you in a parallel universe,” Gu Juexi said truthfully.

“So what was the outcome?”

“I saw a mad scientist,” Gu Juexi said directly. That was what Ye Yuwei had said just moments ago.

Ye Yuwei chuckled light-heartedly. “What about you? If the person you met was not me, what would you be like in another universe?” Ye Yuwei looked up at Gu Juexi.

“Perhaps I would be someone who couldn’t tolerate people who can’t comprehend physics telling him about astrology. I guess I would be mad too,” Gu Juexi said lightly.

They complemented each other. She understood what he was saying, and he understood what she was saying.

They were truly meant for each other.
