The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 880 - Do You Still Dislike Him?

Coaxing Xixi to sleep after she finished her herbal medication was a difficult task. Ye Yuwei came back to the room to find that Gu Juexi had already fallen asleep against the bedside. His hand was still resting on his daughter’s small frame comfortingly, as if he was worried that his daughter would not sleep well.

Ye Xicheng grabbed a blanket that was huge compared to his little body and carefully draped it over Gu Juexi.

Children were more sensitive than adults, so they felt it when someone treated them nicely.

In fact, Ye Yuwei had realized that Ye Xicheng’s att.i.tude towards Gu Juexi had improved over the past few days. Although they would still argue with each other, Ye Xicheng had started to show his concern for Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi was exhausted though. It had been ten days since Xixi fell sick and he had yet to rest properly. Even though he was injured, he refused to let other people take care of their little daughter.

Ye Yuwei felt fortunate that her son still had some compa.s.sion and did not burden Gu Juexi with difficult tasks during this time or she would be forced to a.s.sume that he intended to torture Gu Juexi to death.

‘Mommy, shhh…” Ye Xicheng put his finger to his lips once she entered the room, asking her to be as quiet as possible.

Ye Yuwei understood and gestured for her son to come out. Both of them left the room and sat at the staircase near the door.

“Mommy, will Sister recover from her illness?” Ye Xicheng asked his mother in a whisper, leaning against Ye Yuwei’s knee.

“Of course she will.” Ye Yuwei tried to sound hopeful. Perhaps she was trying to console her son, but it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself of it.

Ye Xicheng continued leaning against his mother’s knee. He grabbed Ye Yuwei’s pants using his little hands and complained, ” I don’t like Yuan Mo. He comes here every day.”

“Yuan Mo cares about your sister. Why don’t you like him? He treats you well and always bring you good food, doesn’t he?” Ye Yuwei tried to reason with her son. Due to Xixi’s poor health, it was impossible for Ye Yuwei to go shopping so fruit and other foods were brought over by Yuan Mo.

“I don’t like him being so nice to Xixi. Xixi has both Daddy and me and that is enough for her,” Ye Xicheng declared firmly.

“You both cannot stay at Xixi’s side forever. Once she has grown up, she will have her own life. At that time, she will need another man to be a part of her life,” Ye Yuwei explained to her son gently. She really hoped that her daughter would be able to live until that day. She added, “As for you, you will have another girl that you want to cherish in the future.”

“I have you and Xixi,” said Ye Xicheng stubbornly.

Ye Yuwei just smiled at her son. It was her first smile in days.

“Alright. Let’s not talk about this issue anymore.” Ye Yuwei did not want to discuss issues that her son was still too young to comprehend. After all, she would definitely not be her son’s sole priority in the future. There would be another woman present to take her place.

“Mommy, you are not going to leave Daddy anymore, are you?” Ye Xicheng asked suddenly in a soft whisper.

“Do you still dislike him?” Ye Yuwei tried to dodge the question.

Ye Xicheng thought hard for a while, then he ran to his room with his short legs. He found his little backpack and started rummaging through it. He finally found the two red booklets that he was looking for.

Ye Xicheng came running out of his room and pa.s.sed the divorce statement to Ye Yuwei.

She was startled. “What is this?” She took it and opened it with curiosity.

“I found this in the secret room,” explained Ye Xicheng.

Ye Yuwei opened the booklet and saw her name at the top. She lowered her gaze and saw the date of the divorce statement.
