The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy - Chapter 2037

The director coughed lightly. “You youngsters should take it easy.”

Ding Junqi, “…”

Le Tian, “…”

Hold on. Why did this conversation sound so strange?

Ding Junqi held his tongue for an excruciatingly long time before hissing through gritted teeth, “It’s my dad.”

After Ding Junqi finished speaking, the gaze everyone gave him grew more intense. Everyone was probably thinking that for him to still get beaten up by his father at this age, he must have done something shameful.

Ding Junqi had really suffered a huge blow today, and it was a huge blow.

However, even though Ding Junqi was injured behind his back, they were shooting a major scene in the movie. Therefore, Ding Junqi persevered without as much as a single twitch in his expression.

In terms of professional ethics, Ding Junqi was fully deserving of the title, Best Actor.

Gu Juexi was satisfied with the filming of this scene. Afterward, there was nothing much that he had to concern himself with. Everyone could see that Xin Ya improved a lot recently. Ding Junqi was still very strict with her, but whenever Ding Junqi raised an issue, Xin Ya had no problems fixing the issue privately.

Therefore, as Ding Junqi spoke to Gu Juexi in private, Ding Junqi told Gu Juexi that he accepted Xin Ya.

“You want to show her the ropes?” Gu Juexi leaned against the sofa and looked at the man sitting opposite him.

In the entertainment industry, it was normal for an experienced actor to show a new artist around. Some of them did so as tutors and apprentices, while others did it as couples.

“I have a wife,” Ding Junqi said reflexively.

Gu Juexi shot a cool glance at Ding Junqi, who was currently looking at Gu Juexi with an adamant face befitting the phrase, ‘I have a wife’.

“Well, your wife is still illegal, isn’t she?” Gu Juexi asked nonchalantly.

Ding Junqi, “…”

He was not very keen to continue the topic anymore.

“Xin Ya is very hardworking, but I don’t think she should wait for others to remind her every time.” Ding Junqi went straight to the point. “I can bring her around, but I can’t help her forever.”

Gu Juexi understood what Ding Junqi meant. “So, what you’re saying is?”

“Let her walk her own path. She has started at a much higher point. Although you’ll always be protecting her, the only way for her to find her own style is to go out and walk her own path. You can ensure that she stays honest, but you can’t protect her here,” Ding Junqi said as he pointed at his head. “This industry is too messed up. Protecting her blindly will only make her lose herself.”

Gu Juexi mulled over Ding Junqi’s words. He was also in this circle, but he had always hovered at the top. There were some problems that he had heard of but never seen.

However, Ding Junqi was different. He climbed up to the position of Best Actor one step at a time, and he had graduated from a Film Academy, so he could be considered an expert in his field.

Thus, eventually, Gu Juexi handed Xin Ya over and put her under Ding Junqi’s care. He could not follow Xin Ya around forever, and Ding Junqi had his own ways that were probably more suitable for the entertainment industry anyway.

Gu Juexi did not stay long. Ding Junqi got up to see him off. “Why are you in such a hurry to go back?”

“I have a legal wife at home,” Gu Juexi answered as he left.

Ding Junqi stood frozen in the room. The only thought in his head was how speechless he was after the blow from Gu Juexi. So? What was so great about being legal?

When Le Tian entered the room to apply medicine on Ding Junqi, she happened to see Gu Juexi leave. “Has Mr. Gu left?”

“Yes, he has a legal wife at home,” Ding Junqi said as he turned around and returned to the room.

Le Tian, “…”

Legal wife?

What kind of joke was that?

Le Tian retrieved the medicine kit and followed him in. Ding Junqi had already taken off his top and was lying in bed on his stomach. His back seemed to have gotten worse than before.

Le Tian half knelt on the bed. “Something happened to Ding Enterprise.”
