Disorder in marriage

Gu Yunmo seemed to have heard a joke. "Ji Shanmei likes me?"

"You don't need to play dumb! You keep her around, firstly to avoid finding a new finance manager, and secondly to satisfy your male sense of superiority? How does it feel to be praised and looked up to every day, Mr. Gu!"

Yan Zhi's harsh words ignited Gu Yunmo's anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What makes you think she likes me?"

"Don't you like it?" Yan Zhi's mouth was like a machine gun. "Then why does she always drag you into everything? It's always 'President Gu, President Gu,' she bothers you with even the smallest things. Are you her boss or her boyfriend?"

"Yan Zhi!"

Yan Zhi turned her head to the other side, deciding to get it all out and then leave it at that.

Gu Yunmo glanced at her as he drove. "Ji Shanmei treats everyone at the company like that. You think she likes me? Are you kidding me? I'm already married."

Yan Zhi shrugged. "Fine, if that's how you put it, then I have nothing more to say."

Gu Yunmo: "..."

"Are you still jealous of her?"

As the car slowed down, Gu Yunmo suddenly said this.

"Jealous? I just find your self-deception ridiculous."

Gu Yunmo suppressed his anger and sighed helplessly, "Even if she likes me, I won't like her. Is it my fault if someone else likes me?"

Yan Zhi interrupted him, "Don't talk, I want to sleep."

"Yan Zhi!"

Yan Zhi ignored him, lowered her chair, and simply crossed her arms and closed her eyes to rest.

Once she arrived at the hotel, she went back to her room and heard Gu Yunmo making a phone call outside.

"Have someone deliver one roast goose to the hotel, and personally deliver the other one to Old Master Qin."

"Stop talking nonsense, and don't talk to me like that again. I'm not your boyfriend, so stop whining at me."

Yan Zhi was lying in bed looking at her phone when Gu Yunmo came over with a slice of roast goose and knocked on her door.

"Come out to eat."

Unable to bear her hunger any longer, Yan Zhi reluctantly left the bedroom.

Gu Yunmo handed her the disposable gloves, and Yan Zhi said thank you.

Gu Yunmo snorted coldly, "I've never seen you this polite before."

Yan Zhi picked up a piece to eat, saying, "The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Gu Yunmo also put on disposable gloves and sat down next to her.

The two were very close, their thighs brushing against each other, and Yan Zhi subtly moved to the side.

Gu Yunmo, his anger gone, said in a conciliatory tone, "I'll tell Ji Shanmei to stay away from me from now on. If you still find her annoying, I'll send her back to the capital right now."

The roast goose tasted good; it's better to eat more meat than to listen to a man's promises.

"Oh, whatever you want."

Seeing that she was enjoying her food, Gu Yunmo stopped arguing with her. Besides, Yan Zhi's words were now barbed and sarcastic, and listening to her would surely cause her a lot of pain.

Yan Zhi ate two or three pieces and then got up. "I'm full. I'm going back to my room."

Her appetite was much smaller than when she was pregnant. Gu Yunmo wanted to tease her, but he was afraid of touching on their shared painful memories, so he remained silent.

Yan Zhi changed into her pajamas, washed up, and prepared for a nap. She only drew the inner white curtains, and the sunlight shone in, making it seem as if everything in the space had stopped.

After Gu Yunmo finished cleaning up the trash, he pushed open her door.

Yan Zhi sat up abruptly. "What are you doing!"

Gu Yunmo said coldly, "Go to sleep."

Go back to your room and sleep!

"Have you ever seen a newlywed couple sleep alone?"

Gu Yunmo walked over directly, lifted the blanket and lay down, even squeezing Yan Zhi closer to him.

Yan Zhi tried to leave, but he grabbed her with his long arms to stop her from running away.

"I recorded this last night. I don't snore when I sleep. You dare to run away and see what happens."

Yan Zhi dared not move. Gu Yunmo pulled her into his arms, and Yan Zhi could hardly breathe because of the pressure from his chest muscles.

She hadn't dared to let Gu Yunmo hold her like this during her pregnancy, but now, smelling his scent, she suddenly felt an urge to cry.

Why?

Why was he so good to her while also being so good to Yan Fei?

"Gu Yunmo".

Gu Yunmo pulled the blanket up to her neck. "Go to sleep, stop fooling around."

Yan Zhi closed her eyes, and the memories of the past three years were awakened along with her dream.

When she opened her eyes again, Gu Yunmo's presence was gone from the room, and the other half of the bed was cold and empty.

It was dark outside, but light from outside shone into the bedroom through the crack in the door.

"Mr. Gu! Let me come with you! It's my first time in Shenzhen too!"

It was Ji Shanmei's voice.

Yan Zhi had actually already prepared herself for Gu Yunmo to tacitly agree.

Unexpectedly, he said, "I'm on a date with my wife, what are you doing following me? Also, it's inconvenient for you to stay here. Go downstairs and open another place yourself later, the company will reimburse you."

"President Gu!"

Ji Shanmei wanted to say something, but Gu Yunmo didn't give her a chance at all.

"If you have any objections, you can go back to the capital now."

Ji Shanmei bit her lip and looked at Gu Yunmo.

He was dressed casually, wearing a simple polo shirt on top and nylon sweatpants on the bottom.

The same clothes would not look elegant and fashionable on anyone else, but they look very sophisticated on Gu Yunmo.

His excellent physique made his clothes fit him perfectly, and he kept checking the items in his backpack while he was talking.

He brought bottled water, wet wipes, and toilet paper, as well as the ID cards needed for boarding, which belonged to both him and Yan Zhi.

Ji Shanmei's gaze fell on the wedding ring on his left ring finger, and she felt an intense sting and resentment.

Why is Yan Zhi so lucky to be able to marry such a good man!

But Ji Shanmei knew in her heart that once she expressed her feelings, Gu Yunmo would absolutely not allow her to stay.

So she forced a smile, "So Mr. Gu wants to reconcile with his wife. Then I won't disturb you any longer. I wish Mr. and Mrs. Gu a pleasant evening!"

"Um."

Gu Yunmo glanced at her, still unable to see through Yan Zhi's claim that she liked him. "You can go out now."

After Ji Shanmei left, Gu Yunmo went to wake Yan Zhi, only to find that she had already woken up and even changed her clothes when he opened the door.

"You heard what I just said? I told you you were overthinking it."

Yan Zhi didn't want to argue with him about this anymore.

The two went to the dock. When they boarded the boat, the river was not calm. After he boarded, he took her hand and helped her.

The view of the Pearl River is beautiful. They booked a spot on the third floor where they could see the open-air night view and enjoy the cool evening breeze.

The bustling CBD was captivating, and she would probably never forget the scenery she and Gu Yunmo had seen together.

A waiter on the ship came to refill their tea. Gu Yunmo took out his phone and said, "Handsome, could you please take a picture of me and my wife?"

Yan Zhi was suddenly amused. Although everyone here called him handsome, it sounded particularly funny coming from Gu Yunmo.
