The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy
chapter-900

Ye Yuwei watched Wen Jie enter her room.

‘Some stones are better left unturned.’

But right now, they could not stop.

While Ye Yuwei was sighing in weariness, she received a call from Xiao Yaojing who was wandering aimlessly on the street because she didn’t want to go home and listen to her mother’s nagging.

“The project that your husband just tendered has a lot of teething problems,” Xiao Yaojing said the moment Ye Yuwei picked up the phone.

“Xin Cheng Energy?” Ye Yuwei frowned. “What happened?”

“Some people are trying to put a spanner in the works while Gu Juexi is away. How are you doing over there? How is my darling Xixi?” Xiao Yaojing asked in concern.

“She’s so much better these days, but Master Yao Lao is still trying various treatments.” There was sorrow in her heart whenever she talked about her daughter. “Let’s not talk about this. How are you and Wen Tao? Did your parents go home?”

“They went back even before the dinner was served. It’s better that way though, otherwise the catfight would have escalated to a real fight,” Xiao Yaojing sighed, “I don’t even dare go home right now, my mom would put the squeeze on me.”

“You and PA Wen have a special affinity for each other,” Ye Yuwei chuckled.

“More like Romeo and Juliet—it’s doomed love,” Xiao Yaojing refuted.

“Do you have regrets?”

“What? Of course not! I’ve put in too much effort, it’s a waste if I give up now,” Xiao Yaojing smirked arrogantly, “I trust my ability to coax the elders into accepting us.”

Ye Yuwei laughed upon the remark, “I believe you. Anyway, there’s a shortcut to settle this—a shotgun wedding! Done.”

“You don’t say! I have been considering it, but Wen Tao is as straight as an arrow so I don’t think I can knock sense into him!” Xiao Yaojing was tired of walking. She leaned on a bench by the road and stretched her legs.

“Really? Your shrewdness makes everything possible, trust me.” Ye Yuwei rested her head on her palm. “If you’re out of ideas, you can always do it the barbaric way—knock him out and knock yourself up.”

“Poor you. You’ve only been away for a few days with your man and you’ve changed! Too bad that I, the purest human you will ever find, am not there to purify you,” Xiao Yaojing declared seriously.

Ye Yuwei was speechless. Pure and Xiao Yaojing could never coexist.

“Miss Xiao, where are you heading? I can give you a ride.” A car stopped by the road when Xiao Yaojing was on the phone with Ye Yuwei. The person inside was none other than Qian Yikun who was back in town.

“Qian Yikun?” Xiao Yaojing raised her eyebrows in surprise and suspicion. She glanced at her surroundings. “Please leave me alone if you’re on duty, I don’t want to be in the middle of a barrage.”

Qian Yikun chuckled. He got out of his car and opened the passenger door for her. “Let’s go. I’ll drive you home or wherever you want to go.”

Xiao Yaojing ended her call promptly. She had no intention of letting Ye Yuwei talk to him.

“Officer Qian, you look different,” Xiao Yaojing said while scanning him.

Ye Yuwei listened to the beep on her phone in suspicion. Qian Yikun was there?

Why did she hang up when Qian Yikun showed up?

Though, it was not at all bad for her to meet Qian Yikun.

Ye Yuwei was scheming. She found PA Wen’s number in her contact list, typed a message and sent it to him. When she was done, she stepped out to look for her poor big baby who had his heart hurt.

PA Wen was in the middle of a meeting when he heard the message notification. He ignored it and resumed his meeting.

“Minister Liu, please be reasonable. Our hands are tied if you put it like that,” PA Wen said, gesturing for his secretary to come to him. “But, Minister Liu, this is a hot potato.”
