The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 2024 - Yes, You Like Your Brother Yuan Mo

Chapter 2024: Yes, You Like Your Brother Yuan Mo

Ye Yuwei now mourned for the loss of fun in being a mother. Life, oh, Life. What a tragedy you are.

“Xi Xi, come here. Finish your homework first. Your brother is nearly done.”

“I’ll just copy his when he’s done,” Xi Xi answered Ye Yuwei matter-of-factly and turned around toward her mother, away from the window.

Ye Yuwei was rendered speechless by Xi Xi’s answer. “Do you expect to be hanging around your elder brother forever?”

“Brother Yuan Mo said that I don’t need to learn anything. He will support me in the future. Hmph—”

Ye Yuwei, “…”

That was a powerful statement to make. Even Xi Xi’s own father never said something like that. Was defying the norm the current norm among children nowadays?

“The knowledge is yours after you’ve learned it yourself. Who says you don’t have to learn even if Brother Yuan Mo promised to give you his support?” Ye Yuwei said as she dragged her daughter over to sit on the chair, gesturing that she should be working on her homework.

“But we’re studying so that we can work, right? Xi XI doesn’t need to work,” XI Xi announced matter-of-factly.

Ye Yuwei, “…”

What Xi Xi said made so much sense that Ye Yuwei could not find the words to refute her.

“Gu Juexi, can you please keep a reign on your daughter?” Irritated, Ye Yuwei snapped her head to the back and glared at Gu Juexi.

Gu Yuexi rolled his eyes and continued reading his newspaper. “She’s not wrong. What am I supposed to say?”

Ye Yuwei inhaled deeply and held Xi Xi down to make her complete her homework. She made a mental note to herself to tell Yuan Mo not to tell Xi Xi such things in the future.

Xi Xi pursed her lips as she looked at those tadpole-like numbers. She heaved a small sigh. “Mommy, Big Bro will provide for you and Daddy in the future. So, can you not make things hard for me, please?”

Ye Xicheng completed his last page of math homework and looked at his sister. “Mommy, Lil Sis is very good in English.”

Ye Yuwei looked at Ye Xicheng with an expression that said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ After all, when they were abroad, the little girl would rather die than speak English.

When Ye Xicheng saw the disbelief in his mother’s eyes, he nodded a little more aggressively. “She probably thinks that other subjects are harder to learn than English.”

Fine, this was an acceptable reason.

It was drizzling outside. Xi Xi hummed a little tune as she did her math questions. From time to time, she would act all cutesy and pleasant in front of her brother so that he would tell her the answer directly, but Mommy would always find out.

Gu Juexi put the newspaper down and looked at the trio. For a moment, it felt like time froze and held them in eternity. He would not mind that at all.

Sometimes, Ye Yuwei would accuse him of being cold-blooded. He disagreed. Simply said, unless it was something life-threatening involving his comrades, he would rather not get involved anymore. He just wanted to watch over his children and her.

“Ye Yuwei, let’s go on a trip during the kids’ summer break. We’ll throw the kids to the United States,” Gu Juexi suddenly announced.

Initially, Xi Xi was so excited that she threw away her pencil and wanted to scream, ‘Daddy’s the best!’ Yet, when she heard the last sentence, the little girl’s face twisted immediately. This Daddy was not the best! Not at all!

“Hmph, if you don’t bring Xi Xi along, Xi Xi won’t like Daddy anymore,” said Xi Xi with a pout.

“Yes, you like your Brother Yuan Mo,” Gu Juexi stated calmly.

Ye Yuwei, “…”

Ye Xicheng, “…”

So, what kind of fight was this supposed to be?

Mr. Gu, must you be so jealous of a child?

Mr. Gu did not think that there was anything wrong with him at all. After all, his daughter kept mentioning Yuan Mo’s name.

When a father-in-law started to get jealous of his son-in-law, things would get messy.

Mr. Gu best encapsulated that.

Xi Xi immediately ran over to Gu Juexi with her puppy legs and planted a huge, wet kiss on his cheek. “I love Daddy the most. Xi Xi loves Daddy the most. Daddy, please bring Xi Xi out on a trip.”

The mother and son exchanged glances with each other and suddenly realized that they got dismayed into silence. They had never seen such a shameless pair of father and daughter.
