The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Nalan Chunbo continued to look at the woman as she answered the phone.

“Treating all of us? If? I have not eaten, of course! I am famished! I will be right there,” said Wen Shan excitedly. She closed her laptop lid and quickly left her room.

Nalan Chunbo leaned against the window and took a deep breath before he went downstairs for dinner too.

A few teachers were already waiting by the time Wen Shan arrived downstairs. She did a headcount and realized that she knew all of them. There were more than ten who came and Mao Cang was not one of them.

“Erm, If called to say that he actually has something on abroad and has to catch a flight now. He said those who have not eaten could go ahead. Why have you not eaten, Little Monkey?”

Wen Shan blinked her eyes at the teacher who was asking. Could she say that it was because she had been looking at Nalan Chunbo’s picture?

Obviously not.

“I was busy studying. Are you reluctant to bring me along, Teacher?” Wen Shan let out a humph and asked.

“Of course I will bring you. If specifically told us to bring all teaching assistants and interns. You are so lucky on your first day of work!” The leading teacher laughed while leading the group to the hotel they had booked for dinner.

The hotel was not far away from the university, though not many normally dined there as a meal at the hotel could very likely cost more than their monthly salary.

“Wow, I bet If is loaded,” Wen Shan couldn’t help exclaiming the moment she entered the hotel.

“The life of a guru,” sighed another teacher, “I am so happy that I skipped my meal while working overtime. It would be such a waste to miss this chance, hahaha...”

Wen Shan had been taking pictures of the food as it was served and dug in only after she posted the pictures on social media.

Ye Yuwei was with Xixi who was lying down with her legs on the head of the bed and refusing to sleep when she saw the pictures.

Gu Juexi heard his wife tutting the moment he stepped out from the bathroom after his shower.

“What’s wrong?”

“Wen Shan posted this. Her boss treated the whole department. Do you know who her new boss is?” asked Ye Yuwei while showing the pictures to Gu Juexi.

“Nalan Chunbo.”

Not expecting Gu Juexi to get it right, Ye Yuwei fell silent.

“You are such a boring man,” Ye Yuwei scoffed and took a screenshot of Wen Shan’s post to send to Nalan Chunbo.

“Are you blaming me for not being as childish as you? Let’s go to sleep,” Gu Juexi said and sat down at the side of the bed while pulling his daughter into his arms.

Xixi rolled on the bed and got to her knees. “I want Brother,” she held Gu Juexi’s arm and said.

“Brother has slept, so should you,” Gu Juexi tucked her in again and said.

“I am going to look for Brother,” said Xixi while struggling to get down from the bed.

“Don’t disturb your brother, Ye Xixi,” Ye Yuwei stopped texting Nalan Chunbo and put down her phone, then went to Xixi to pick her up, “don’t disturb Brother’s sleep, he has school tomorrow morning.”

“Then I want to sleep with Brother,” Xixi pursed her lips and said.

Ye Yuwei heard what Xixi said and looked at Gu Juexi excitedly.

“Even if you don’t get to see Mummy at night?” Gu Juexi quickly went over to them and asked.

Feeling that she was not ready to let her mother out of sight, Xixi wrinkled her nose when she heard the question.

But she really missed sleeping in her own room.

“What if Mommy slept with you there?” Ye Yuwei suggested.

“Ye Yuwei...” Gu Juexi was the one who was reluctant this time.

“Okay,” Xixi squealed, making Gu Juexi fall silent and become emotional too.
