The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Gu Juexi put down the pen and stood up, his lip curling.

Qian Yikun stood up when Gu Juexi did, and found Gu Juexi’s smile rather intimidating.

He admitted that he used Gu Juexi to tear down the Bai family.
After all, he believed that no one other than Gu Juexi would have been able to do the same.

But Gu Juexi hated to be used, and the only one in the world who was allowed to do so was Ye Yuwei.

Qian Yikun watched Gu Juexi disappear through the window.
He imagined that he would die in Gu Juexi’s hands if not the Bai family’s.

Gu Juexi left Qian Yikun’s place at three in the morning and Ye Yuwei was still asleep when he got to her room.
He reached out to touch her face gently and accidentally woke her up despite his reluctance to do so.
Ye Yuwei jolted awake and shouted Gu Juexi’s name.

“I’m here, I’m here…” Gu Juexi pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead to calm her down.

Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s shirt tightly.
She didn’t sleep well here and was woken up by even the slightest sound.

Gu Juexi let Ye Yuwei out off his hold after she had calmed down.

“Listen to me carefully, Weiwei,” Gu Juexi said seriously, without any harsh words or comforting ones.

Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a moment and she nodded.

“Ye Shu managed to send you away over twenty years ago when the Bai family closed the gate, which means that there must be a way out.
There is an underpass and Bai Ying knows about it,” Gu Juexi passed his phone to Ye Yuwei as he said, “the distribution map is in this phone.
Yu Jiangqing is waiting outside the fortress, make sure to pass this to him when you leave this place.
Remember, you only have three and a half hours to leave.”

“What about you?” asked Ye Yuwei worriedly.

“You already did your part in the morning to buy me time, it is my turn now.
Don’t come back after you escape, Yu Jiangqing will arrange for someone to protect you,” Gu Juexi murmured as he held Ye Yuwei’s face with both hands.

Ye Yuwei was stunned and her eyes widened when she heard Gu Juexi’s plan.
“No, you could just leave with me.
Let’s leave together…”

“The Bai family could transfer all the data about their bases in a minute, and what we have done would be in vain,” Gu Juexi said as he kissed Ye Yuwei’s forehead again, “I believe in you.
You can do it, Ye Yuwei.”

“I don’t want to,” Ye Yuwei whispered as she gripped Gu Juexi’s arms tightly.
“You should leave.
I am Bai Ying’s daughter so they won’t harm me.
I can stall them to buy you the time you need, I can do it.”

“My silly girl,” Gu Juexi reached out to pull the panicking Ye Yuwei into his arms.
“They will inform their men to transfer everything the moment I go.
They can deal with me easily only if I am physically here.”

Ye Yuwei refused to accept that Gu Juexi would be taking all the attacks solely by himself.

“Weiwei,” Gu Juexi rested his forehead against Ye Yuwei’s and helped Ye Yuwei with her coat gently.
“I know you don’t like the way I talk.
I said I would change but I never did.
You once said that I was not as thoughtful as even an outsider, or even as Wen Shan.
But Weiwei, I wouldn’t have clung to you if I didn’t care about you.”

Ye Yuwei refused to wear her coat but Gu Juexi was too strong for her to go against him.
She didn’t want to hear what Gu Juexi was saying, she didn’t want to hear it at all.
