The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“I am not going to tell her that. You should tell her yourself,” Ye Yuwei rejected Nalan Chunbo’s request instantly.

She knew why Nalan Chunbo was holding back. All of them knew what really happened, and she was tired of explaining the same thing to Nalan Chunbo over and over again.

“Don’t you respect me as your brother, Wei Wei?” asked Nalan Chunbo sulkily.

“I do, but it doesn’t mean I should stop anyone from going after you,” said Ye Yuwei smilingly.

“Anyway, how are things between you and Gu Juexi?” Nalan Chunbo tried to change the subject.

“Us? We are okay, I suppose,” Ye Yuwei answered honestly, not sure why Nalan Chunbo asked.

“And that’s that? You forgave him and just moved on?” Nalan Chunbo frowned and asked.

Ye Yuwei fidgeted with a glass. Everyone thought that Gu Juexi at least owed her a wedding, if not more.

But Gu Juexi hadn’t even proposed.

“Haven’t you learned your lesson, Wei Wei?” Nalan Chunbo scolded.

Ye Yuwei lowered her head and pondered. It wasn’t a question of whether she had learned her lesson. What else could she do when Gu Juexi was acting dumb about it and kept asking why she was so desperate whenever she brought it up?

And it did look like she was desperate for it.

“He said he is already on it,” said Ye Yuwei hesitantly.

Nalan Chunbo scoffed, unconvinced.

“He said I could expect it before the school’s anniversary,” said Ye Yuwei quickly in Gu Juexi’s defense.

“Could he be planning to propose during the school’s anniversary?” Nalan Chunbo asked suddenly.

Ye Yuwei was stunned for a second before she looked up with her eyes sparkling.

Could this be why Gu Juexi had been avoiding talking about the proposal – he wanted to propose to her during the school’s anniversary?

The school’s anniversary meant a lot to her, and he did say that he only agreed to give the talk because of her.

Why else would he agree to give the talk?

“Thank you, Brother,” said Ye Yuwei whose mood was instantly brightened.

“I feel like I shouldn’t have said that, but at least we can see that he is making an effort,” sighed Nalan Chunbo while massaging his temples.

Gu Juexi was willing to make an effort for his relationship with Ye Yuwei and it showed how serious he was towards her. This eased his mind as a brother.

“No matter what, you shouldn’t leave Wen Shan alone. What are we going to tell PA Wen if anything happens to the girl?” Ye Yuwei asked.

“Knowing my brother, he is never going to let that happen. Am I right?” Ye Yuwei added when there was no response from Nalan Chunbo.

The truth was Nalan Chunbo hasn’t tried hard enough to get rid of Wen Shan because he was worried that something might happen to her if she was alone.

Nalan Chunbo ended the call with Ye Yuwei then walked to the window. He looked out of the window and saw a familiar figure asking around and making notes in a notebook.

Nalan Chunbo understood right away what the girl was doing. It was no wonder that she seemed to have visited so many places and was so familiar with all of them.

How was the girl so persistent? What was the point of pursuing something that was so meaningless?
