“Do they have children?” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi once Yu Jiangqing was out of sight.
Gu Juexi frowned when he heard the question. He never liked minding others’ business, but he happened to know this.
“They have been fighting for a divorce because of it. Ding Ning didn’t know that she was pregnant and miscarried from her training three years ago. Rambo was on standby for a military mission at that time, and chose to go ahead with the mission when he was informed about the miscarriage.”
Gu Juexi didn’t continue the story but Ye Yuwei could guess what happened next.
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze. As a woman who had given birth, she could easily put herself in Ding Ning’s shoes. She would be mad too if she had miscarried and Gu Juexi chose to go on a mission instead of take care of her.
But orders were orders.
“The couple has been fighting for a divorce since then. Rambo didn’t want to, but Ding Ning was determined to divorce him,” Gu Juexi explained as he drove.
“He didn’t want the divorce? Couldn’t he imagine how Ding Ning might have felt, all alone in a hospital when she lost her child? He hadn’t left for the mission when he was informed, but he chose to go ahead with the mission,” Ye Yuwei snarled. She didn’t know Ding Ning, but she felt sorry for her as another woman.
“Orders are orders. Do you know that changing commanders before departure is taboo for soldiers?” Gu Juexi glanced at the agitated Ye Yuwei briefly.
“Exactly. We are not telling you to change commanders, but what’s wrong with Ding Ning changing her husband?”
Gu Juexi fell silent.
“Fine, fine. Why are you so mad?” Gu Juexi reached out to squeeze Ye Yuwei’s hand and said, “so stop convincing me to return to the army.”
“Men would never understand what a miscarriage means to women.” Ye Yuwei thought it had just been minor disagreements between them, but it was actually much more than that.
“It was Rambo’s child too, how would he not understand? Alright let’s stop discussing them.” Gu Juexi quickly ended the conversation when he noticed that Ye Yuwei was starting to get annoyed. He was not trying to defend his best friend, but the truth was that Yu Jiangqing made him, Song Helian, and Lu Qichuan get drunk together with him after he got back from the mission. What else could he do when the child was already gone?
Ye Yuwei opened her mouth but said nothing. There was no point in saying any more when Gu Juexi had already ended the conversation.
When they got back to Gu Mansion, Auntie Qian had led all the servants to make the house spotless, and there was a Chinese symbol for marriage that represented double happiness on the walls.
“What are you doing, Auntie Qian?” Ye Yuwei laughed.
“For the auspicious occasion. The day has finally come! I should burn a joss stick and tell Auntie Mao about it,” said Auntie Qian smilingly as she went to the kitchen to prepare them a fancy dinner.
“Your parcel, Young Mistress.” Ye Yuwei was looking at Gu Juexi who was standing still when one of the servants came to give her a parcel.
Not having bought anything online, Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi and the servant curiously.
Ye Yuwei reached out to take over the parcel which was nicely wrapped with her name and address written on it. She unwrapped the parcel, and then a loud scream filled the air.
The box was flung out of Ye Yuwei’s hands immediately, and two bloody spheres rolled onto the floor.
