The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

tly.

Gu Juexi wanted to say something but was stopped by Wen Jie.
“It’s okay.
Parents and children learn from each other.
Parents teach them the rules, and they teach parents patience.
You can’t spoil them forever.”

Gu Juexi swallowed his words.
He had had time-out too when he was little, punished by his mother.

“Haven’t I told you not to push each other in dangerous places?” Ye Yuwei squatted down in front of her daughter and asked sternly, and continued after seeing Xixi nod, “What if Daddy wasn’t there just now? You brother might have gotten hurt from falling off the sofa.
Do you want Brother to get hurt?”

“No,” answered Xixi softly.

“And you.
What did I say about not standing on something high, especially at the edge?” Ye Yuwei asked Xicheng, her tone just as stern as when she asked Xixi, showing that she was not biased towards either of her children.

Wen Jie looked at Ye Yuwei teaching her children and sat down on the sofa.
“The two of you are just like your children.
Fight all the time and neglect what is important,” said Wen Jie.

“What are you saying, Mom?” Gu Juexi frowned.
How was he the same as the children?

“Anyway, it’s great that the two of you are here now.
Can you get Auntie Mao please, Butler Kim?” Wen Jie asked as she patted Gu Juexi’s hand.
“Auntie Mao wanted to tell you something.”

Gu Juexi remembered Auntie Mao wanted to see them but it had to be delayed until now because things kept coming up and he and Ye Yuwei were not always together.

Butler Kim went to Auntie Mao, came out again very quickly, then said to Wen Jie, “Mistress, Auntie Mao told young master and young mistress to go in.”

Looked like Auntie Mao didn’t want what she had to say to spread.

Ye Yuwei told her children to stay at the corner and wait for her to come out, and entered Auntie Mao’s room with Gu Juexi.
