The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy
chapter-1430

After hearing footsteps from behind him, Nalan Chunbo turned and leaned against the window to look at Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei entered the office and closed the door. Nalan Chunbo tilted his head to see whether there was anybody behind her. “Where’s Xixi?”

“Xixi followed her elder brother to school,” Ye Yuwei answered as she got a glass of water for Nalan Chunbo.

It was quite rare for her daughter to be willing to follow Ye Xicheng to school despite her not feeling completely at ease.

Nalan Chunbo took the glass from Ye Yuwei and curled his fingers around it.

Ye Yuwei stood facing Nalan Chunbo. “Do you have something to tell me?”

Nalan Chunbo was still holding the glass of water with his head lowered.

Ye Yuwei waited patiently for Nalan Chunbo’s reply.

“I can’t be sure, but I feel that Wen Shan will probably be better off without me,” Nalan Chunbo said before taking a sip of the hot water.

Ye Yuwei lifted her eyebrows slightly. “Did she personally tell you this?”

“She has somebody better by her side, and I think that my explanation may be weak.” Nalan Chunbo held the glass to warm his hands. However, only his heart felt like it was burning.

Ye Yuwei laughed when she heard Nalan Chunbo’s reasoning. “Just because there is somebody treating Wen Shan nicely, you are backing off?”

Nalan Chunbo thought about it for a long time. After a while, he replied, “She deserves to be treated well.”

“Excellent viewpoint,” said Ye Yuwei as she reached for her glass to take a sip of water. She winced when the hot water burned the tip of her tongue.

Nalan Chunbo was silent, then he frowned and said, “Weiwei, you know what I mean so you don’t need to use that tone on me.”

“I don’t know what you mean! Just because somebody else is treating her well doesn’t mean that you should give up just like that. Why not ask her whether she likes that man? If you are a coward, I also hope that you would give up.” Ye Yuwei was being extremely blunt.

Ye Yuwei’s sharp words pierced Nalan Chunbo’s heart.

Nalan Chunbo held his glass of water tightly without denying what Ye Yuwei had said.

“You could help her change her citizenship, but since you do not even have the guts to clarify it with her, is that too much for you?”

Just then, somebody pushed the office door open and they heard Gu Juexi’s voice.

As Ye Yuwei turned to look at the person who had just entered, she was astonished. “What brings you here?”

Gu Juexi strode into the office, walked up to Ye Yuwei, and hugged her. “I’m here to accompany you for lunch.” Gu Juexi lifted his head and his expression changed completely. “If you want to be a coward, you don’t need to give so many dignified excuses. As a man, you just need to ask her straight up to clarify things. Even if you don’t ask her about her feelings for you, you have to at least ask yourself whether she is the woman you want.”

Ye Yuwei agreed with Gu Juexi’s advice. She also thought that it was important to clarify whether he still liked her, regardless of anything else. If he did, he should pursue her. Even if he didn’t and let her go, at least he wouldn’t regret not trying.

The Nalan Chunbo that Gu Juexi knew went after what was his and nothing could stand in his way.

“Why are you still here? Do you want to eat with us? I didn’t order food for you, by the way,” Gu Juexi sneered since he did not want Nalan Chunbo to be the third wheel, even if it was just lunch.
