The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy
chapter-828

It was three hours from J City to Shennongjia. The sky was bright with the dawn by the time they disembarked from the plane.

The information about their hotel was sent as a message to Ye Yuwei’s phone. She concluded that PA Wen did not dare to send it to Gu Juexi so she was the messenger.

Ye Yuwei showed the address to the taxi driver and they started their ride to the hotel.

As soon as they checked into their room, Ye Yuwei collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep. Even the sound of thunder could not wake her.

Gu Juexi reached over to pull the blanket over her and tucked her in. He looked at the sleeping beauty, teasingly remarked that she slept like a pig, and went to take a shower in the bathroom.

The hotel didn’t have a rating but the mediocre conditions suggested it should be a three-star hotel. Despite his dissatisfaction, Gu Juexi put up with it.

After his shower, he took his medication then pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Boss, I just woke up,” Lu Qichuan answered with a yawn.

“Go to the States and check the Wen family’s history for the last fifty years,” Gu Juexi instructed heavily.

“Fifty years?” Lu Qichuan was surprised. “You can just ask Aunt about this, why bother to send me to investigate?”

Gu Juexi paused in adjusting his sleeves. “Look into the matter and keep it from my mother.”

There was silence on the other end of the line, as if Lu Qichuan took a moment to think about something. After a while, he broke the silence, “Boss, what is that person’s true purpose?”

“I wish I knew,” Gu Juexi said frustratedly.

The information he obtained from the old man was the first half of Ye Shu’s life. The key point in all the information was that Ye Shu had left with his sister.

As for the place that he left for—if his wild guess was correct—it was the place that the Wen family had sent him to. At one point, the Wen family had encountered problems in their business which Ye Shu helped out with. He was rewarded with one million dollars and a chance to study abroad.

In the end, Ye Shu was related to the Wen family somehow.

Gu Juexi turned around to look at the sleeping Ye Yuwei with a heavy gaze. He did not know what to expect if this matter carried on. However, one thing he knew for certain was that the person behind this would not let him stop here.

After he ended the call, Gu Juexi lifted the blanket and laid down next to Ye Yuwei. He reached out and held her hands, interlocking their fingers.

“No matter what happens, I will never ever let go of your hand,” Gu Juexi murmured, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

Despite sleeping soundly, Ye Yuwei sensed the disturbance. She frowned in displeasure and went right back to sleep.

They took a very long nap. Ye Yuwei woke up at 5 pm, hungry.

She found herself entangled in Gu Juexi’s embrace. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes were his knitted brows, as if he was contemplating something serious in his sleep.

This was actually the first time Ye Yuwei had woken up in his embrace.

Gu Juexi was very handsome, that was undeniable, but she did not like his frown. She lifted her hand slowly, trying to smoothen the wrinkles on his forehead.

Before her hand could touch his forehead, Gu Juexi grabbed it swiftly, almost like an involuntary reflex.

“Ouch, it hurts! What are you doing?” Ye Yuwei yelled and tugged her hand, glaring angrily at Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi was stunned at the shouting. He recognized his wife’s voice, quickly let go of her hand and his eyes opened wide.

Ye Yuwei massaged her wrist and demanded, “What was that about?”

“Reflex, it was a reflex,” he said uneasily. He did not know how to explain or even comfort his wife in this kind of situation.

“You might as well sleep with your gun,” Ye Yuwei complained angrily, lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
