Disorder in marriage

Zhou Zheng considers himself to be a gangster by birth. Although he usually gets into fights, he is quite calm and collected because Gu Yunmo is a patient.

But when he firmly said that it was impossible for him to break up with Yan Fei.

He remained silent for a while, his expression darkening, before grabbing him by the collar and pulling his upper body up.

The tearing pain returned, but Gu Yunmo didn't even flinch, calmly meeting his gaze.

Say it again.

Gu Yunmo was fearless. "No matter what Yan Fei did, she is still someone our Gu family should be grateful to."

"you!"

Zhou Zheng just raised his fist when he heard the sound of a door being turned, but it was locked.

So Yan Zhi and Niannian knocked on the door from the outside, "Zheng Ge? Are you in there?"

Zhou Zheng released Gu Yunmo and made sure Yan Zhi wouldn't notice anything amiss before opening the door.

"Why did you lock the door? What were you talking about?"

Zhou Zheng touched his nose. "It's nothing."

The atmosphere in the room was clearly different from when they left. The two grown men were staring at each other, as if they wanted to snap each other's necks.

Niannian noticed it too. She took the bag of lollipops that Yan Zhi had bought for her, gave one to Zhou Zheng, and then gave one to Gu Yunmo.

"Eating something sweet will cheer you up!"

Fortunately, both of them gave Nian Nian face and tore open the packaging and ate it.

Just as Zhou was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh right, Xiaozhi, Lingxiao said there's some movie premiere we should go to. Why don't you bring Nian Nian with us?"

Upon hearing the name Ling Xiao, Gu Yunmo's thick eyebrows furrowed. "You're not allowed to go!"

Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes at him. "What's it to you? Why can't Xiao Zhi go? Does she have to stay in the hospital with you for the rest of her life? Xiao Zhi, go! Go!"

Without any preamble, Gu Yunmo stated directly, "Ling Xiao is no good."

Zhou Zheng laughed outright, "If he's not a good person, then you're nothing!"

Yan Zhi tugged at him, "Zheng-ge, the child is still here, watch your words."

Zhou Zheng squatted down and pinched Niannian's cheek: "Remember, this uncle in the hospital bed is very bad! He bullies Aunt Xiaozhi every day. If he bullies Aunt Xiaozhi again, you tell me, okay?"

"Zhou Zheng!"

Gu Yunmo was so angry that he wanted to sit up, but his head hurt even more than his wound.

"They're gone, they're gone!"

Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, was carefree and simply waved his hand and left without a care in the world.

Yan Zhi was afraid of upsetting him further, so she didn't press him to ask what they had talked about.

The two of them accompanied Niannian as she drew and read. After lunch, Niannian fell asleep on the sofa because she was sleepy.

She rested her head on Yan Zhi's lap, and Yan Zhi covered her with Gu Yunmo's coat, gently stroking her hair.

"Are you really going to that premiere?"

Yan Zhi didn't look up. "Why aren't you going? Linglong and I promised our senior a long time ago."

Gu Yunmo reiterated, "Ling Xiao is no good."

Yan Zhi really didn't know where he came to that conclusion. "He and I have been friends for many years. I trust him even more than I trust you."

Gu Yunmo stared at the ceiling, unsure of what to say.

"He already knew about the child."

Yan Zhi paused, then slowly raised her head to look at him.

Gu Yunmo said, "I thought he would tell you, but he didn't. Have you thought about why?"

Yan Zhi paused for a moment, "Senior has his reasons for everything he does."

"But he shouldn't have lied to you about this."

Gu Yunmo said, "Even I couldn't help but tell you, so why wouldn't he want to tell you? If Xia Linglong knew about this, her first reaction would also be to tell you directly."

Yan Zhi recalled Ling Xiao's state these days; he always seemed preoccupied.

However, given her long-standing friendship with Ling Xiao, she did not blame him for concealing the truth.

"I believe my senior has his own reasons. Besides, whether he tells me or not, he will suffer the same pain. Everyone's choices are different."

Seeing that she was unmoved by his words, Gu Yunmo said, "So, you still want to go to that premiere, right?"

Yan Zhi was puzzled. "Why won't you let me go? The people attending the premiere are all people in the industry. I'm not going there just for fun. I also have social obligations to maintain."

Gu Yunmo remained silent.

Yan Zhi didn't want to argue with him either.

The two remained silent until Niannian woke up. Both husband and wife were artists of changing expressions, and they tacitly pretended that nothing had happened.

A few days later, Yan Zhi took Niannian to the premiere. She prepared a dress for Niannian, and Niannian also wore a toy phone around her neck, which was a gift from Gu Yunmo.

Xia Linglong quickly accepted Niannian's existence and kept poking her cheek to make her call her godmother.

Niannian called out "godmother" and then turned to Zhou Zheng, "uncle."

Zhou Zheng's eyes crinkled with laughter. He immediately took out twenty yuan, but Yan Zhi told him to put it back. He kept saying it was for the child.

Niannian turned to another person, about to greet him as "Uncle," but the man's cold gaze made her uneasy.

Children have very keen intuition and can tell who likes them and who doesn't.

Ling Xiao glanced at her, then looked away: "My friend is on the second floor, I'll go say hello."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Yan Zhi called out to him, "Senior, let's talk alone later. I have something I want to tell you."

Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He tried to guess what was going on from Yan Zhi's face, but he couldn't.

He was as natural and friendly as ever, saying, "Okay."

There was still some time before the movie started, so they stood in a corner chatting.

Zhou Zheng used to work as a henchman, and he only started participating in these kinds of activities in recent years. He is a straightforward person and hates being indecisive.

So when someone tried to chat him up, he retorted with one sentence: "I'm their bodyguard."

Once the other party realized that he was not of high status, they immediately ignored him.

Xia Linglong teased, "Zheng-ge, with a temper like that, when will you ever get a girlfriend?"

Zhou Zheng said, "Making friends with these snobs? Forget it, I'm just here to freeload."

He looked Xia Linglong up and down. "You're dressed up quite elaborately today. What, hoping for a romantic encounter?"

Xia Linglong clicked her tongue. "The child is still here, watch your words."

Niannian looked up at Yan Zhi and asked curiously, "Auntie Xiao Zhi, what does 'romantic encounter' mean?"

Yan Zhi couldn't suppress a smile. "It means your godmother wants to find a boyfriend!"

Niannian: "Oh~"

Just as Xia Linglong was about to retort, she suddenly saw a handsome man enter the room. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his temperament was easygoing yet somewhat unrestrained.

Zhou Zheng was already quite a rascal, but the composure he exuded clearly indicated that he wasn't from an ordinary background.

Xia Linglong is a person who judges by appearance. She secretly stared at that person for a while and found that he wasn't interested in people who took the initiative to chat with her. The more unruly a wild horse was, the more she wanted to conquer it.

Quickly, an idea struck her. "Xiao Zhi, can I borrow Niannian for a moment?"
