My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

With a ‘clack’.

The heavy English textbook fell onto the floor, emitting a loud noise.

On the couch, Mo Weiyi gave a start. Then, she opened her eyes.

Her little face, flush from sleep, showed signs of momentary bewilderment and confusion.

The next second, her catlike eyes blinked twice, her eyebrows arched and her mouth formed into a sweet smile, “Xiaobai.”

She stood straight up from the sofa and raised her hands to wrap around the man’s neck, coquettishly, “Why didn’t you wake me up when you returned?”

The man stood there unmoved, his voice chill, “Dad said you’re unwell. He asked me to check on you.”

“I’m not.” Mo Weiyi looked at the man’s handsome jawline and pouted, “I was planning to memorize a few words but fell asleep. English is too hard…”

“In that case, stop reading.”

“How could I? Exams are less than a month away.” Mo Weiyi suddenly noticed the English textbook on the floor, “How did my book fall on the floor?”

She bent down, intending to reach for the book, when she felt a sudden tightness around her waist and was then swept off her feet.

Mo Weiyi, startled, quickly clung onto Xiao Yebai’s neck, “Xiaobai? Are you…?”

At the dining room.

The rectangular dining table, covered with a white tablecloth, was loaded with mouthwatering dishes. The decanter, filled with red liquid, sparkled in the light of the Italian crystal lamp. The scent of the food blended with the aroma of wine in the air, making one’s mouth water.

By now, Qu Yunyao was getting extremely hungry.

Ever since the news of her pregnancy had been revealed, she had stopped controlling her appetite, which had subsequently increased, especially now that it was past seven in the evening…

Xiao Yebai had left to call Mo Weiyi about half an hour ago, and they had been sitting and waiting for nearly the same amount of time.

Qu Yunyao clasped her hands together, glancing at the head seat.

The old man of the Mo family was closing his eyes in rest.

As for the other three, they were engaged in casual conversation.

After nearly another ten minutes, Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke, “Aunt Zhou, can you go check on Yebai and Weiyi? Why are they keeping our guests waiting for so long?”

“Yes…”

“No worries.” Xu Rui hastily said, “We can wait, Yebai may be occupied with important matters.”

Nonetheless, Mo Yaoxiong still insisted, “Hurry them up.”

Aunt Zhou nodded and hurriedly went to call them.

Meanwhile, Mo Yaoxiong began to inquire, “You mentioned earlier that the wedding date is set for next year? Isn’t that too late?”

Xu Rui and Qu Yunyao exchanged a look, hastily smiling and saying, “Yunyao and I have discussed this. We’ll get the wedding license first; the ceremony can happen later. After all, one only gets married once. My parents don’t want to rush it either, so they won’t make Yunyao uncomfortable. Otherwise, Yunyao would blame me in the future.”

Xu Jing piped in, “How could she? Given the current situation, I think…”

“Mom.” Qu Yunyao cut her off, “I don’t want to rush into a wedding. I’ve talked to my in-laws and we’ve agreed to have the baby first. We’ll consider the wedding on Valentine’s Day next year.”

Xu Jing was unhappy.

A hasty wedding is better than parading around with a swollen belly, right?

They’re currently staying at the Mo’s as guests. Each day, her daughter walks about the courtyard with her big belly. It’s improper, and how would it look to the servants and outsiders?

“I don’t want to rush the wedding. This has been agreed upon by me, Xu Rui, and my in-laws.” Qu Yunyao reiterated.

Xu Rui agreed with a smile, “Yes, I respect Yunyao’s wishes too.”

After those words, in front of the father and son of the Mo family, Xu Jing couldn’t say anything more.

Although, she still felt uncomfortable inside.

She took a deep breath, “Then, arrange for me and your parents to meet sometime.”

Xu Rui blinked, “Well…”

Under the table, Qu Yunyao gave a hard twist to his thigh.

Caught by a sudden pain, Xu Rui hurriedly said, “Auntie, I’m sorry. My parents are not in the country recently. After they return, I’ll arrange the meeting immediately.”

Hearing this, Xu Jing felt even more uncomfortable, and her face reflected her discontent.
