The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

Xiao Yaojing chatted with Ye Yuwei for a while and ended the call when PA Wen started the engine.

“So what do you think about what I told you earlier?” asked PA Wen.

Xiao Yaojing put her phone back into her bag and looked at PA Wen. “You mean about working at Gu Enterprise?”

“Yes, the financial department is really quite short-handed now,” PA Wen nodded and said. PA Wen used to say the same thing to Ye Yuwei to make her work at Gu Enterprise too, but he wasn’t lying about being short-handed this time. After all, Gu Juexi did fire everyone in the department earlier.

“Hey, do you think Gu Enterprise would allow office romance?” asked Xiao Yaojing seductively, one hand on her chin as she watched PA Wen who was driving.

PA Wen felt goosebumps on his skin and gulped.

“Allowed…for the C-level executives,” choked out PA Wen, trying very hard to focus on driving.

“Oh. Is that how all C-level executives are, hitting on the subordinates they targeted?” Xiao Yaojing asked as if she just realized the truth, and PA Wen’s heart skipped a beat.

“But not between superiors and immediate subordinates!” PA Wen was so nervous that he began to talk without thinking.

But that was what Xiao Yaojing liked about PA Wen. The more nervous he was, the more she liked to tease him.

Xiao Yaojing rested her chin against her hand and looked at PA Wen who had been avoiding making eye contact with her. “Hey, could you please look at me so that I can give you my answer?”

‘No, no, don’t look at her!’ PA Wen warned himself in his head that this woman was far too good at manipulating him and he was no match for her at all.

Xiao Yaojing looked at the man who was still refusing to look at her and let out a humph. “Alright then, I won’t force you if you don’t want to, but Wen Tao, you have to answer this last question.”

“Say it!” said Wen Tao through clenched teeth.

Xiao Yaojing was being naughty and wouldn’t let him off.

Xiao Yaojing observed around and saw a traffic light under the pedestrian bridge. It was for the road under the bridge which lead to 8 different junctions, and each red light was at least a 100-second wait. That should prevent PA Wen from applying the emergency break in the middle of the road.

Their car stopped in front of a red light. Xiao Yaojing looked at the timer and was satisfied to see that she had 120 seconds before the light turned green.

She could tease PA Wen for 100 seconds and let him adjust his emotions with the remaining 20 seconds.

“When are you letting our parents meet?” asked Xiao Yaojing bluntly.

PA Wen was stunned at the question and kept quiet.

“Isn’t it too soon for our parents to meet?” PA Wen asked while gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Xiao Yaojing raised her brows doubtfully – shouldn’t she as a woman be the one saying that?

Sigh. Looks like she would have to give it a little push, as always.

Xiao Yaojing snaked her arm around PA Wen’s neck and whispered in his ear, “are you just playing around and not thinking of marrying me?”

“What, what nonsense?” PA Wen quickly pushed Xiao Yaojing away. “Who… who said I am just playing and have not thought of marrying you?” PA Wen stammered while checking the timer on the traffic light, hoping that it could go faster.

Xiao Yaojing fell back into her seat. She leaned back and looked at the blushing man, deciding that he was the cutest man in the world.

“Looks like you really haven’t thought about it. It’s just sad that you didn’t even get my point.” Xiao Yaojing let out another sigh and checked the timer which showed only 30 seconds left.
