Disorder in marriage

A few days later, Gu Yunmo took Yan Zhi to a business dinner.

She knew that Ji Shanmei had accompanied him to these events in the past because of his pregnancy.

Now that she is feeling better, Ji Shanmei has been transferred to a branch office by him.

As Mrs. Gu attended the event, a group of people greeted her warmly and friendly as soon as she entered.

These people used to criticize Yan Zhi behind her back, and now they fawn over her just as much.

Yan Zhi was overwhelmed and made an excuse to go upstairs to rest. While she was standing on the balcony looking at the night sky, Madam Du came to find her.

"See, I told you, it's such a pity that you and Gu Yunmo divorced."

Yan Zhi ignored her and only greeted her son.

She stuffed a handful of candy into her pocket when she came up, and now she's given it all to her son.

Now that Mrs. Du is divorced, she has received both money and custody of her children. Furthermore, because she facilitated a cooperation between her family and the Gu family, she is able to return home with her head held high after the divorce.

"Xiao Zhi, let me remind you again. I heard that Yan Fei is crying and making a scene abroad, wanting to come back, but Gu Yunmo won't let her. She's even stopped attending school now, and every day she's either drinking at home or inviting a bunch of people over to have parties."

In short, "She will definitely still contact Gu Yunmo, so you'd better be careful."

Yan Zhi, who was squatting on the ground playing with her son, smiled less upon hearing this.

"Madam Du, please don't say such things in front of the children."

Madam Du knew she had talked too much, so she stopped talking about things that might upset Yan Zhi. Knowing that Yan Zhi liked children, she kept having her son play with her.

The three were chatting when Gu Yunmo, who was coming up the stairs, stopped in his tracks upon seeing this scene.

Yan Zhi wore a white strapless dress, her hair was braided to one side and draped over her smooth shoulder.

Under the moonlight, her skin was as white as snow, and a few unruly strands of hair added a soft touch to her figure.

She spoke to Madam Du's children with a smile, gentle and loving.

Gu Yunmo wanted to remember this scene for the rest of his life.

So when Gu Yunmo drove home that night, he hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question.

"Xiao Zhi, let's have another child."

Yan Zhi felt exhausted. The process of pregnancy was not happy. Although she was happy, the feeling of heaviness in her body was present 24 hours a day.

Especially when she sees everyone around her working and making money, she gradually has nothing to say to her peers. This psychological gap makes her feel disconnected from society at times.

For men, having a child is just a matter of talking.

But for women, having a child is the biggest and most important decision in their lives.

Yan Zhi didn't expect Gu Yunmo to understand; if he could understand, he wouldn't have asked such a question.

"I don't want to have children."

Gu Yunmo didn't ask why, just said, "Hmm."

Yan Zhi knew what he wanted: a harmonious family, an obedient wife, and a lovely, intelligent child.

This is something countless people dream of.

But Yan Zhi couldn't feel any love in this kind of life.

"I don't want to have any more children. I'm serious. Don't try to subtly change me. If you can't accept that, let's get a divorce. I won't stop you from finding someone else."

Gu Yunmo said without hesitation, "I accept. Let's not talk about divorce anymore, it'll hurt our feelings."

Yan Zhi: "Mm."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a black sedan following behind her through the rearview mirror.

She had been seeing them ever since she left the venue. At first, she thought they were Gu Yunmo's bodyguards, but judging from the car model, they were not up to the Gu family's standards at all.

Whose car is that?

Gu Yunmo looked up and glanced at him. "You noticed too?"

Yan Zhi asked, "Not one of yours?"

Gu Yunmo smiled: "If that were the case, would I still be circling around here?"

Yan Zhi had a bad feeling and immediately took out her phone. "I'm calling the police."

But before the police arrive, they need to find a way to stall these people.

Yan Zhi's heart was in her throat, but to her surprise, Gu Yunmo calmly reminded her, "Sit properly."

Yan Zhi grabbed the handle above her head, and saw Gu Yunmo floor the accelerator, the car accelerating in one go with a deep roar.

Before she could even see the road ahead clearly, Gu Yunmo had already perfectly navigated several bends, and finally the car arrived in a place she was unfamiliar with.

Several cars had been parked ahead as if in premeditated, blocking the road behind them.

The headlights were so bright that Yan Zhi couldn't open her eyes until she heard the door open. She suddenly grabbed Gu Yunmo, who was about to get out of the car.

"What are you doing! The police are on their way!"

Gu Yunmo said, "Sit still in the car and don't get out no matter what happens. Call Jiang Jin; he's more effective than the police."

After he finished speaking, Yan Zhi saw him go to the back of the car and take out a crowbar.

People in front and behind got off the bus one after another, and everyone stared at Gu Yunmo with eyes like a pack of wolves eyeing a piece of raw meat.

Yan Zhi called Jiang Jin with trembling hands. Just as she finished explaining the situation, she saw someone raise a baton and run towards Gu Yunmo.

Yan Zhi boldly watched without blinking, only to see Gu Yunmo perfectly dodge and then counterattack without hesitation.

At first it was one against one, then it became one against two, then one against three, with Gu Yunmo taking on a large group all by himself.

He couldn't dodge every attack, and sometimes he would be pushed onto the vehicle, but he always managed to quickly adjust himself and launch a swift counterattack.

Yan Zhi dared not guess how many real battles she had gone through to develop this reflex speed.

"Bang!"

Gu Yunmo was kicked onto the hood of the car, and the other person casually smashed a spider web on the car window.

Seeing that Gu Yunmo was about to lose, Yan Zhi could no longer sit idly by and wait for her fate.

She stepped into the driver's seat, started the car, and first rammed through a group of people who were trying to attack Gu Yunmo.

Then he reversed the car and used the body of the car to block Gu Yunmo.

Seeing the blood flowing down Gu Yunmo's forehead, Yan Zhi's blood surged.

She started turning the steering wheel in one direction, regardless of whether there were people in front of her, she didn't slow down, she just drove around Gu Yunmo in circles.

The tires left a sandstorm in their wake, but thankfully, they deterred anyone from attacking Gu Yunmo again.

She opened the passenger door at the right moment, and Gu Yunmo understood and jumped into the car.

Yan Zhi stopped circling, spotted the weakest point in their defense, and suddenly stepped on the gas and sped away.

The car drove over a green belt and smoothly onto the main road.

"Xiao Zhi."

"Don't say anything yet!"

Yan Zhi's palms were sweaty, and she had no interest in listening to Gu Yunmo.

She was terrified that if she slowed down even a little, she would be overtaken.

But to her surprise, not only did the other party not catch up, but Gu Yunmo grabbed her wrist instead.

His palms were warm and sticky, making Yan Zhi look at him.

He clutched his abdomen, unaware that he had been injured there at some point; blood stained his white shirt.

"Gu Yunmo! Hang in there!"

Completely exhausted, Gu Yunmo held her hand and, with his last bit of strength, said, "Xiao Zhi... don't be afraid, the police are here... don't be afraid..."

After he finished speaking, his hand fell limply to his side.

"Gu Yunmo!"
