“Thank you.”

Chu Qiao placed the snacks on their table. As she left, she caressed Zhou Dabao and Zhou Dabao’s heads lightly.

Gu Ye looked behind him in a daze until he could not see Chu Qiao’s back. Only then did he lower his head to eat the snacks. However, he saw that the two children did not take a single bite and were looking at him anxiously.

“Why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry?” Gu Ye asked with a smile.

“You haven’t eaten yet,”Zhou Dabao said.

Zhou Dabao pursed his lips and reminded him in a low voice, “Pretty sister said that if she couldn’t finish it, she would give it to the dog.”

He felt that he was the dog that had been fed. He couldn’t bring himself to eat.

“Call her Auntie. You’re being rude.”

Gu Ye glared at him. He took a piece of rose shortbread and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste of it was so sweet that it made him squint his eyes in satisfaction. Then, he thought about how it was a gift from the little fairy and the money that Gu Jianshe had spent. His mood became even sweeter.

“It’s really delicious.”

Zhou Dabao ate with relish. When he saw that his younger brother did not move, he knew what was bothering him. He said unhappily, “Weren’t you born in the year of the dog?”

His younger brother had always been particular about being poor since he was young. At home, he was unwilling to bare his buttocks and arms. He was also not allowed to say any indecent words during the meal. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat. He wondered who this bad temper of his was like?

Zhou Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately felt relieved. He grabbed a piece of yam cake and ate it. His stomach was growling from hunger. It was really delicious.

The three of them were starving. The whole table of snacks was quickly cleared, and not even the dregs were left.

“It’s really delicious… Burp…”

Dabao patted his stomach and burped in satisfaction. Xiaobao did the same. The two brothers were both dark and skinny. They had big eyes and big heads. Because they were too skinny, their heads looked especially big, and their necks were thin. It was like a globe being pressed against a thin support. The brothers’ looks were indeed not very good, and they were not even close to being cute.

“Let’s go home.”

Gu Ye carried Xiaobao and prepared to go home. There were still many things to do. Divorce was the most urgent matter, but he could not bring it up. Otherwise, the old man and his mother would be in trouble, the He family would not be able to explain themselves.

Xu Bilian had to bring it up.

And that b*stard Gu Jianshe. Hmph, did he really think that he did not know anything?

He had known long ago that this adulterous couple had hooked up. Gu Jianshe was still smug, thinking that he had taken advantage of him. Gu Ye sneered. He did not treat Xu Bilian as his wife at all, so it did not matter whether she cheated or not.

But now that he had a destined wife, he had to clean up this mess. He still had to get some benefits.

Gu Ye’s eyes flashed. It was completely different from his previous silly look. His bicycle stopped at the entrance of the teahouse. He put Xiaobao on the front bar, and Dabao sat behind him. It had only been a short while, when Dabao shouted, “That woman is…”

He was too embarrassed to say the rest because Xu Bilian and Gu Jianshe were pushig and pulling one another. Their movements were very intimate.

They were talking under the shade of the trees across the road. Xu Bilian was agitated and spoke loudly, but he could not hear clearly through the road. Gu Jianshe was also talking. It seemed that this pair of b*tches had an argument.

Gu Ye sneered. He could even guess the reason. Xu Bilian was deeply in love with Gu Jianshe, but Gu Jianshe had gone on a blind date. Xu Bilian would definitely make a scene. However, this woman was quite bold. She even dared to make a scene on the street. She was not afraid of being seen by her acquaintances.

Perhaps this woman was eager to be seen. This way, she and Gu Jianshe could turn black into white. There was no need to sneak around anymore.

Gu Ye’s eyes became interested. He could grant this woman her wish, but Gu Jianshe had to pay a price.

“Let’s go home. From now on, don’t eat anything that woman gives you.”

Gu Ye was too lazy to watch the show. He got on his bike and left. He even told the two brothers that he had to work the night shift last night. Before he went to work, he had prepared dinner and asked Xu Bilian to heat it up for the two children to eat. However, this woman was too lazy to even move. She took out the food from the refrigerator and fed it directly to the two children. Dabao was fine, but Xiaobao was in a mess. Fortunately, it was not too serious, so he stopped taking the medicine.

He took note of all the bad things that Xu Bilian had done to the two children. This time, he would settle the score once and for all.

“Got it.”

The two brothers obediently agreed. Zhou Dabao could not help but ask, “Uncle Gu, are you going to divorce that woman?”

The woman he was talking about was Xu Bilian. At first, he had politely called her aunt, but Xu Bilian didn’t treat him and his brother well at all. Zhou Dabao couldn’t be bothered to address her as anything other than “that woman.”

“It’s a divorce. It’s a new society now. It’s not called divorce[1],” Gu Ye corrected him.

No matter how much he hated Xu Bilian, he couldn’t use the word ‘divorce’. It was too disrespectful to women.

Zhou Dabao thought about it and asked again, “Do you want to marry Auntie Chu Qiao?”

Uncle Gu’s eyes couldn’t wait to hang on to that beautiful auntie just now. Even the dogs by the roadside could see through his heart.

Gu Ye’s face heated up and he felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that even a child could see through his thoughts?

“Why does a child care so much? Go back and read your books. You’re about to enter the second grade. If you’re not good at your studies, I’ll smack your butt!”

Gu Ye reprimanded him fiercely. He was a little angry from embarrassment. Zhou Dabao, who was sitting in the back seat, rolled his eyes. Every time an adult couldn’t win, they would use study as a pretext. It was really annoying.

Zhou Xiaobao, who was at the front, said, “I like the pretty sister.”

Pretty sister’s snacks were really delicious. When she smiled, she looked really good. She was like a fairy in the sky, and her body was fragrant. He really liked her.

“Call her ‘Aunty’,” Gu Ye corrected.

“Sister.”

Xiaobao snorted, and called her ‘sister’ again. He liked to call her sister, so he didn’t want to call her ‘Aunty’.

“Little brat, how dare you!”

Gu Ye was annoyed, and he raised his hand to give the little brat a smack. He didn’t even use 10% of his strength. Xiaobao cried out, and Gu Ye laughed loudly. He pressed the bell again, reminding the pedestrians in front of him to make way.

The laughter of the three people and the sound of the bell slowly disappeared into the distance. However, the man and woman on the opposite side of the road were still arguing.

“Brother Jianshe, why do you want to go on a blind date with another woman? I will divorce Gu Ye.” Xu Bilian felt wronged. Even if Gu Jianshe didn’t choose a beautiful woman, she was still unhappy.

Because Gu Jianshe still wanted to go on a blind date. This man was still sweet-talking her in bed yesterday and doing those shameful things. However, he turned around and went on a blind date with another woman. Xu Bilian didn’t blame Gu Jianshe for being heartless. She only blamed the vixen outside for being too cheap.

Gu Jianshe was extremely impatient in his heart, but on the surface, he did not show it at all. He smiled gently and coaxed her, “Bilian, I was forced to do this. Even if you divorce, grandfather will not agree to us being together. You married Gu Ye. He is my uncle. I have to call you aunt. Not to mention my grandfather, even your grandfather will not agree.”

Although he liked Xu Bilian’s passion in the bed, that was it. It was impossible for him to marry her. He wouldn’t do something that would ruin his future. Only a fool would do something like marrying his ex-aunt!

Notes:

[1] The word divorce mentioned by Dabao was an older meaning of divorce which could be carried out one-sidedly without mutual consent..
