The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei was backing the coffee shop door so she didn’t see the person who came in, but Geng Yisheng who was facing the door did.

“Mr. Geng, I still hope that you reconsider,” Ye Yuwei advised—an investor with a conscience.

Geng Yisheng laughed. “Other banks try to get more clients to take their loans but you are pushing a client away from your bank, Manager Ye.”

Ye Yuwei chuckled at his statement. She leaned back in her chair and stared at Geng Yisheng. “Our CEO’s business motto is to not gain profit from money we shouldn’t make.”

“You and your CEO once said that a heart-winning enterprise will never collapse. It seems that Manager Ye fulfills the decree of Mr. Gu’s vision to the core,” Geng Yisheng teased light-heartedly.

Ye Yuwei tilted her head to ponder his remark before saying, “He has always been my benchmark.”

“I’m envious of the chemistry between you and Mr. Gu. In this case however, it’s my honor to share this with Gu Enterprise. It will be an assurance of our success with Mr. Gu as our backbone. Don’t you think so, Manager Ye?” Geng Yisheng was determined to seal this deal. After all, he owed Ye Yuwei a favor, and he didn’t like owing anyone favors.

Although Ye Yuwei was against it, Geng Yisheng’s request was sincere. It would be rude for her to reject money handed to her on a silver platter.

“If that’s the case, I accept your application. I’ll get someone to process your application in the office and notify you as soon as it’s finished,” Ye Yuwei said as she kept the documents that she had intended to return to Geng Yisheng. “I wish you good luck.”

Geng Yisheng watched Ye Yuwei stretch her hand out. Before he could shake her hand though, Gu Juexi had swiftly reached out and grabbed Ye Yuwei’s hand.

Ye Yuwei blinked in confusion. When had he arrived? How long had he been here?

“Mr. Geng, since you are so generous, it would be disrespectful of me to refuse your offer.” Gu Juexi shook hands with Geng Yisheng and quickly let it go.

Geng Yisheng wasn’t surprised by Gu Juexi’s reaction. There were rumors about how Gu Juexi was spoiling his wife rotten ever since she returned. Now that he had seen it first-hand, he could confirm that the rumors were indeed true.

“It’s my gratitude for your generosity. If not for you, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Manager Ye, please proceed with my loan application. I have another appointment to tend to, so I’ll see myself out. Goodbye,” Geng Yisheng said politely with a nod. He swiftly walked past Gu Juexi and exited the coffee shop.

Ye Yuwei’s smile disappeared instantly. She picked up the documents and turned to leave.

Gu Juexi grabbed her wrist as she was about to walk away. “What’s wrong?”

Ye Yuwei glared at Gu Juexi frigidly. “Nothing’s wrong. Who are you to me? What right do I have to cause you trouble?” She shook off his hand furiously and walked past him.

Who are you to me?

Gu Juexi exhaled a sigh, befuddled. Didn’t she just say he was her benchmark? How had her attitude changed so fast?

Gu Juexi quickly went after her. The wind chimes in the coffee shop sounded a little annoying.

The coffee shop was only a few minutes from the bank. Although Ye Yuwei had left earlier, Gu Juexi was faster than her.

Gu Juexi caught up with Ye Yuwei and blocked her way. “Are you mad because I didn’t tell you I was going to the jungle?”

Ye Yuwei stopped abruptly, clutching the documents tightly. She felt her anger build at his casual tone.
