Disorder in marriage

Yan Zhi's emotions were fluctuating too much, so the doctor gave her a sedative injection.

At night, she was awakened by noises outside.

The bedroom door was left ajar, and there were shadowy figures moving outside.

Yan Zhi tried to sit up, but she had no strength. There was an IV needle in the back of her hand, and she was on an IV drip of glucose.

"Yunmo, I beg you, please spare my nephew!"

Wei Dinglian's pleading voice rang out, but it was Jiang Jin who responded.

"Mrs. Yan, Wei Yang has seriously damaged the Gu family's image this time. Taking legal action is already a lenient move by President Gu."

"But," Wei Dinglian cried, tears streaming down her face, "he's still my nephew! How could you break his arm?"

"mom!"

Yan Fei rebuked sharply, "My cousin almost had Xiao Zhi's innocence violated this time. How long are you going to protect him?"

Wei Dinglian held Yan Fei tightly, "Feifei, he's your cousin! Please beg Yunmo for me, he's already been beaten, just let him go! I promise he won't dare cause trouble again!"

Yan Zhi originally thought that Yan Fei would plead for Wei Yang, but she didn't expect her attitude to be unusually firm this time.

"Mom, I came back from New York to deal with this."

"I know you love your cousin, but you can't keep indulging him like this! He's really messed up this time!"

"What if those photos get leaked? How will Xiaozhi live? What about Yunmo's reputation?"

Wei Dinglian lowered her head, sniffed, and stammered as if she wanted to say something more.

Yan Fei ignored her and turned to look at Gu Yunmo.

"Yunmo, you don't need to consider my feelings in this matter. Handle it however you need to. I will give the Yan family and the Wei family an explanation. You did the right thing. Don't listen to anyone who pleads for you."

Yan Zhi heard Gu Yunmo from the other side of the window hum in response.

"Jiang Jin, why don't you take my mother home first?"

Only Yan Fei and Gu Yunmo remained outside. She walked towards him, and together they looked out the window.

"Yunmo, I'm sorry, it's all our fault for causing you trouble."

Gu Yunmo finally gave her a look and said calmly, "It's not your fault."

"Now that things are resolved, I won't bother you and Xiaozhi any longer. I've booked a flight for tomorrow morning, and I'm heading back to New York right away."

"So urgent?"

Gu Yunmo turned around and said, "You can stay a few more days before you leave. Spend some time with your family. My grandma always talks about you."

Yan Fei shook her head. "Forget it, Xiao Zhi will be unhappy if she sees me. Besides, she'll definitely ask me about the child anyway."

Yan Fei was very cooperative in this matter, but the more sensible she was, the more guilty Gu Yunmo felt.

"What time is your flight? I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."

"No need, I'll have Jiang Jin take me." Yan Fei forced a smile. "You should spend time with Xiao Zhi; she needs you too."

Gu Yunmo didn't say anything more.

In the bedroom, Yan Zhi heard that Yan Fei was leaving and became extremely anxious. She forced herself to get up and ripped out the IV tube.

"No...don't go!"

If Yan Fei leaves like this, she doesn't know when she will be able to see her daughter again.

She was determined to catch up and find out where her daughter was, no matter what.

"Yan...Yan...Yan Fei! Don't go!"

Unfortunately, her calves were weak, and she collapsed to the ground after only a few steps.

As Yan Fei's footsteps faded into the distance, the door closed, and all hope was shattered.

The bedroom door was pushed open, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes stopped in front of Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi clenched her fists, and the blood on the back of her hand flowed faster.

"You're so weak, why aren't you behaving yourself?"

Yan Zhi raised her head, her eyes red as she glared at him. "Gu Yunmo, give my daughter back to me!"

"You want to see your daughter, right?"

The man looked down at him, half his face hidden in the darkness.

The person being looked at by him suddenly felt her own insignificance and weakness. She was looked down upon by him like an ant, but had no ability to fight back.

Yan Zhi gritted her teeth and forced back her tears, clutching at the tips of his shoes with her bloodied hands.

"Gu Yunmo, I beg you, I beg you, let me see her, let me see her, let me see her..."

Gu Yunmo stepped back with one foot and squatted down expressionlessly.

"What would you do if she were no longer in this world?"

Yan Zhi answered without hesitation, "I will die with her."

Gu Yunmo stood there motionless for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he took out his phone and showed her the photos in his album.

As agreed, I would show her some photos and videos of the children every month, and now it's time to fulfill that promise.

But Yan Zhi was not satisfied. These things only made her miss her daughter more. She would fantasize about the child's scent and her voice.

She was consumed by longing day after day; she was practically insane.

She snatched Gu Yunmo's phone and then burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Once she calmed down a bit, Gu Yunmo carried her back to bed.

He gently covered her with the blanket and lay down beside her.

"Take care of yourself. Do you really want to see her with this body that could faint at any moment?"

Yan Zhi stared blankly at the photos on her phone. Gu Yunmo didn't disturb her. He got out of bed, took a cotton swab to disinfect the back of her hand, and then carefully put on a band-aid.

Before long, the tranquilizer took effect again, and Yan Zhi fell asleep while holding her phone.

Gu Yunmo observed her sleeping face when her phone rang on the bedside table.

The call was from Ling Xiao. Gu Yunmo picked up his phone and went outside to answer it.

Ling Xiao's concerned voice came from the other end of the line, "Xiao Zhi, are you alright?"

Gu Yunmo said succinctly, "She's asleep."

Then came a long silence of more than ten seconds. Gu Yunmo was afraid that he hadn't understood. "We're going to sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Ling Xiao grew up following the rules of this world, living a disciplined and law-abiding life.

He had never suffered such humiliation.

"Gu Yunmo, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."

Gu Yunmo curled his lips, "It's hard to say whether I'll suffer retribution, but someone like you who covets other people's wives usually ends up in a very ugly death."

"And what about you! You dated Yan Fei first, and then you had a child with her sister! What do you take the Yan family for? What do you take those two for?"

Gu Yunmo didn't hide his mockery, "You're quite the benevolent one, you've even started caring about Yan Fei."

"Stop changing the subject! Let me tell you, no matter where you and Yan Fei hide Xiao Zhi's daughter, I'll find her sooner or later!"

"She's dead." Gu Yunmo suddenly said this out of the blue.

Ling Xiao was stunned, unable to tell whether Gu Yunmo was serious or joking.

"What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Gu Yunmo's gloomy face was reflected in the glass, forming a stark contrast with the neon lights of the bustling traffic.

"The baby died right after birth. If you want to watch her die along with the baby, then feel free to follow me and Yan Fei."

It took a long time before Ling Xiao's hoarse voice finally came from the other end.

"If that's the case... why don't you tell Xiaozhi the truth? Do you know how much pain she's in right now?"
