The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

PA Wen looked at the messages, the closed door, and sighed.

He waited for Xiao Yaojing to settle down before knocking on her door to invite her out for dinner.

Xiao Yaojing had changed into a white dress and her hair was tied in an elegant bun. She didn’t look thirty at all, she looked more like a freshly graduated secondary school student.

PA Wen was stunned at how beautiful Xiao Yaojing looked and was brought back to earth when Xiao Yaojing let out a soft cough. “Come on, there is a street market not too far away. Let’s go get some food there.”

Xiao Yaojing had only brought her phone with her, because one – PA Wen wouldn’t let Xiao Yaojing pay, and two – no one used cash to pay anymore.

Feng County was not as developed as B City and there weren’t many people around at night.

The two of them chose to eat at one of the shops. Xiao Yaojing was taking pictures to send to Ye Yuwei while waiting for PA Wen to order.

Ye Yuwei sent a video call invitation not long after.

Xiao Yaojing pressed “accept” and showed Ye Yuwei her surroundings. “See? It’s true that it’s beautiful here.”

“I am so jealous!” said Ye Yuwei who was helping Gu Juexi with some paperwork in the study. She saw the pictures that Xiao Yaojing had sent to her and wished that she could be there too.

“Isn’t this your hometown? I hardly understand their language,” said Xiao Yaojing as she watched the dishes being served.

Ye Yuwei heaved a sigh. Feng County was indeed her hometown – a hometown that she had never been to.

“How are things between you and PA Wen? Why do I feel that you are making me jealous on purpose?” Ye Yuwei put down the documents in her hand and asked.

“What do you expect?” Xiao Yaojing snorted as she made space for the waiter serving the dishes, “I wouldn’t have ended up here if it weren’t for him.”

The waiter put the dishes on the table. He kept looking back curiously on his way back to the kitchen, shaking his head.

“Look at their local dishes, don’t they look delicious?” Xiao Yaojing asked cheekily, chopsticks in hand.

“Just dig in already.” Ye Yuwei scoffed and rolled her eyes.

“Are you jealous?” Xiao Yaojing laughed. She ended the call not long after.

“Eat now, aren’t you hungry after not having food the whole day?” PA Wen asked.

As they were eating, the waiter who served their dishes returned to their table.

“Sorry to interrupt, but do you have a picture of the girl that you had a video call with just now? She looks familiar,” the waiter asked hesitantly, standing beside their table.

The girl? Did he mean Yezi?

That ‘girl’ was a mother of two!

Xiao Yaojing put her chopsticks down and looked at PA Wen curiously. PA Wen was curious too but then it struck him. He quickly told Xiao Yaojing to show the waiter a picture of Ye Yuwei.

“Would you happen to know a man who looks like her, sir?” PA Wen asked excitedly.

Sorrow showed on the waiter’s face as he looked at the picture. “Would you mind sending me this picture? I just told my dad about it but he doesn’t believe me. He is inside. He would love to meet you but he is physically impaired.”

“Can we meet him in there then?” PA Wen asked and stood up quickly, looking even more excited.
