Disorder in marriage

Gu Yunmo wanted to go to the zoo with the doctor, but the doctor wouldn't allow it.

There was no other way but to let Yan Zhi accompany Niannian first.

That evening, Yan Zhi took Niannian home. She helped Niannian take a bath and picked out pajamas for her.

What it's like to have a daughter is finally being made clear.

When Niannian was led to the children's room that Yan Zhi had carefully decorated, Niannian was so surprised that she couldn't stop smiling and stood in the room without daring to move.

"What's wrong?"

Niannian whispered, "What a beautiful room! Was it prepared for me?"

Yan Zhi nodded. "Of course."

Niannian picked up a teddy bear; it was clear she really liked it, and she even slept with it.

When it was time for bed, Yan Zhi lay down next to Niannian and read her picture books. She only left quietly when Niannian was almost asleep.

Not long after, Niannian came knocking on her door again, carrying a teddy bear.

"Auntie Xiaozhi, can I sleep with you?"

"Sure," Yan Zhi made room for her. "Are you not used to it?"

Yan Zhi remembered that when she first started living with Wei Dinglian and the others, she couldn't sleep on the first night either.

Niannian lay down beside her, somewhat dejected, and said, "In Shenzhen, I always slept in the same room as my sister."

Yan Zhi hugged her and said with emotion, "You two have such a good relationship. When I was little, I also wished I had an older sister to sleep with me."

Niannian shook her head. "When I left, my sister was very happy. She said she finally had her own room."

Yan Zhi's heart tightened. She had been very resistant to raising other people's children before, but now she had completely accepted Nian Nian.

This child is so heartbreaking.

"Niannian, if you're willing, this can be your second home."

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Xiaozhi." Niannian looked at her with her bright eyes. "Aunt Xiaozhi, shall we skip the zoo tomorrow?"

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go anymore?"

Niannian shook her head. "But Uncle is still in the hospital. He must want to come with us too. Let's wait until he's better before we go."

Yan Zhi didn't expect her to be so sensible. If Gu Yunmo heard this, he would be overjoyed.

"Then I'll do as you say!"

The next day, she took Niannian to the hospital to visit Gu Yunmo, when a car honked its horn at them on the street.

Yan Zhi didn't respond at first, but she turned around when the people in the car rolled down the window and called her name.

"Brother Zheng?"

Zhou Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat of a car. The person driving next to him was wearing the same uniform as him and was probably his colleague.

What are you doing here?

Zhou Zheng took off his sunglasses. "I was showing a house to a client and we were passing by here."

He pointed at Niannian and asked, "Where did this child come from?"

Yan Zhi said, "My goddaughter!"

Zhou Zheng nearly dropped his jaw in astonishment. "Really?"

"real."

Although Yan Zhi was smiling, she wasn't joking.

"Then wouldn't I be her uncle?" Zhou Zheng struck up a conversation with Niannian. "Hey, little beauty, call me uncle!"

Niannian hid behind Yan Zhi, not daring to speak to this strange uncle.

Zhou Zheng asked, "Where are you going?"

Yan Zhi said, "Let's go to the hospital to see Gu Yunmo."

"Gu Yunmo is in the hospital?"

As Zhou Zheng spoke, he pushed open the car door and got out, saying, "Then I'll go see him too."

Yan Zhi wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Zhou Zheng was as happy as if he had won the lottery when he heard that Gu Yunmo was injured.

"Brother Zheng, he got hurt while protecting me."

Zhou Zheng chuckled three times, "Don't say that! If it weren't for that jinx hanging around you, you wouldn't be in any trouble at all!"

Yan Zhi thought about it and agreed. According to Jiang Jin, the group that chased Gu Yunmo were villagers from a previous project who were seeking revenge because they were dissatisfied with the compensation.

When they arrived at the hospital, Niannian was a little warmer towards Gu Yunmo than she had been the day before.

"Uncle! These are origami cranes for you!"

"Did you fold this?"

"Aunt Xiaozhi and I folded it together!"

Gu Yunmo picked them up and looked at them. There were five origami cranes in total, folded from different colored paper and strung together with thread.

This was probably the cheapest gift he had ever received in his life, but he was even happier than if he had received money.

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng felt that something was off, but he didn't say anything directly.

Hearing that Gu Yunmo was injured in a fight with more than a dozen people, the first thing he said to Gu Yunmo was, "Oh, still alive?"

Gu Yunmo's expression turned cold. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to thank you!" Zhou Zheng pulled up a chair and sat down. "Thank you so much, you almost dragged Xiao Zhi into this."

Even a fool could tell he was being sarcastic. Gu Yunmo frowned. "What business is it of yours what happens to our family?"

Zhou Zheng gestured to Yan Zhi with his chin, "Xiao Zhi, why don't you take Niannian out to play for a while? I have something to talk to Gu Yunmo about."

Yan Zhi was afraid the two of them would fight, but Zhou Zheng was the first to see her concerns. "Don't worry, I don't bully the weak."

Gu Yunmo's face darkened.

Who is weaker? Who is smaller?

Yan Zhi had no choice but to take Niannian downstairs to play in the garden first.

Only Zhou Zheng and Gu Yunmo remained in the ward. Zhou Zheng even got up and locked the ward door from the inside.

"Just say what you have to say."

Zhou Zheng asked, "What does this 'Niannian' do?"

Gu Yunmo repeated, "What does this have to do with you? Do you really consider Yan Zhi your own sister? Or yourself my brother-in-law?"

Zhou Zheng maintained a nonchalant attitude, remaining unperturbed no matter what Gu Yunmo said.

"I know you and Xiaozhi lost your child, but you can't just find any child and raise them, can you? Besides, you haven't even figured out how your child died."

Gu Yunmo looked at him. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Zheng suddenly became serious. "I came here to ask you, did you really see the child's body with your own eyes?"

Gu Yunmo didn't want to recall it, but he would never forget the feeling of holding that little life in his arms.

"Um."

"What did the hospital say?"

Gu Yunmo said without much emotion, "It's underdeveloped; its breathing tube was closed at birth."

Zhou Zheng didn't miss the frustration and pain on Gu Yunmo's face, nor did he care about Gu Yunmo's mood, and continued to ask, "If there was a problem with this child, it should have been detected during your prenatal checkups. Is it possible that someone is behind this? I heard that during the time when Xiaozhi was about to give birth, she only saw you and Yan Fei, is that right?"

Gu Yunmo immediately understood his meaning, "Why is everything being pinned on Yan Fei? Where's the evidence? What reason does she have to harm my and Xiao Zhi's child?"

"I was just asking, what's the rush?"

Gu Yunmo was speechless for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and warned, "Zhou Zheng, watch your words in front of Xiao Zhi. Yan Fei and I broke up a long time ago."

"Forget it." Zhou Zheng waved his hand. "Anyway, it's none of my business."

He added a final reminder: "But Gu Yunmo, if you really want to have a good relationship with Xiaozhi, then you should break up with Yan Fei as soon as possible. If you dare to make Xiaozhi sad because of her again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"impossible."

Gu Yunmo replied without hesitation, "It's impossible for me to break up with Yan Fei."
