The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

Ye Yuwei tidied up the room. She kept Ye Xicheng’s CDs away into his box and Xixi’s toys into her backpack. “This doesn’t fit your perfectionist personality.”

“The development of Xin Cheng Energy is absolutely beneficial for me, but Zheng Property would need a new power supply. It’s either they develop one themselves, or they’d have to bring it in from a further source. Either one of these will undoubtedly increase costs, which will reflect on their property prices too. Which house will you be interested in? Cheap or expensive?”

Ye Yuwei was stunned for a while. Long story short, he was forcing them to retreat by themselves.

After finished tidying up, she stood up and glanced at the man who was lying on the bed, running plans in his mind with his eyes closed. “Are you serious about the zoo?”

“I promised my little princess, so I have to keep my word,” Gu Juexi said.

“Do you know what kind of comments you get? An ambitionist. Gu Juexi, there is no industry you don’t want a part in.” Ye Yuwei sat by the bed and patted his legs.

“Nah, I’m not that ambitious, it’s what my little girl wants,” Gu Juexi said flatly.

Ye Yuwei believed him. There was nothing he couldn’t do for his little girl.

As Gu Juexi was pondering, he opened his eyes so suddenly that it made Ye Yuwei recoil in shock. “What?”

Gu Juexi remained on the bed but he stretched his hand and pulled Ye Yuwei into his embrace. In a blink of an eye, he turned and pressed her under him. “Did you know that you can’t simply touch a man’s thighs?”

Before Ye Yuwei could regain her composure, she was attacked by kisses on the grounds of ‘she provoked me’.

“Mommy, Mommy, open the door.”

Xixi was banging on the door. Her knocks echoed into the room.

Both Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi were dumbstruck.

Ye Yuwei immediately pushed Gu Juexi away and climbed off the bed clumsily.

“Why do people have kids?” Gu Juexi whined. Ye Yuwei forbade him from touching at night as she was afraid they might wake the children. When they got to spend time together without the kids, it didn’t take long for them to return.

Ye Yuwei was amused to see Gu Juexi’s somber face. She smoothed down her attire and opened the door.

Gu Juexi covered his face with a pillow, feeling frigid and dejected.

It was until his phone rang that he reached over to grab the phone and accepted the call.

“Boss, the results are out. The stones you’ve brought back are indeed Goldflow rocks. I have scrutinized the island. It is separated into southern and northern regions by the jungle in the middle. The jungle is a natural barrier, and no one has succeeded in crossing alive so far,” Yu Jiangqing announced his findings as he studied the report. “Besides, I’ve checked the signs of human habitation that you’d spotted. The island is inhabited.”

“Goldflow rocks.” Gu Juexi sat upright and frowned as he watched the children sprint into the room. Xixi climbed up the bed hastily and hopped onto him. Gu Juexi let her be.

“Yes, Goldflow. You know, the very rare and precious metal, especially when it comes to making weapons,” Yu Jiangqing said in a deep voice, “I haven’t reported this to the Captain yet. What are you going to do?”

“What do you mean the island is inhabited?” Gu Juexi reverted to this question instead.

Yu Jiangqing figured it was part of Lu Qichuan’s investigation, so he informed Gu Juexi to consult Lu Qichuan instead. After all, he couldn’t go abroad. On the contrary, going abroad was a piece of cake for Lu Qichuan.

He concluded that Boss was targeting the island.
