Disorder in marriage

Yan Zhi and Xia Linglong had smashed their uncle's house to pieces early in the morning, and now they were exhausted. When Ling Xiao came over, she immediately relaxed.

However, when Gu Yunmo picked her up, she felt weak all over and didn't even have the strength to struggle.

"Gu Yunmo! Let her go!"

Ling Xiao rushed forward and grabbed Gu Yunmo by the collar, demanding through gritted teeth, "Haven't you done enough to her? Even if she forced you into marriage back then, shouldn't you have repaid for all the suffering she's endured and what she owes you all these years?!"

Gu Yunmo exuded a sharp aura, his indifferent face revealing an arrogant contempt.

"Is there a problem with me taking my wife with me?"

"Now you know she's your wife?"

Ling Xiao trembled with rage, his fists clenched. "Don't you like Yan Fei? Go find her! Let go of Xiao Zhi!"

Gu Yunmo hugged Yan Zhi tightly. "Ling Xiao, Xiao Zhi and I are planning to have a second child. You're not still hung up on your past, are you?"

Ling Xiao paused, his anger flaring even more. "What do you take Xiao Zhi for? She's not just a baby-making machine for your Gu family—"

"At least Yan Zhi belongs to the Gu family!"

Gu Yunmo's words stunned everyone present. One second he was smiling and provoking, the next he was staring at Ling Xiao with an intense sense of pressure.

"The Marriage Protection Law stipulates that she is mine, Attorney Ling, do you have a problem with that? If you do, then sue me, I'm waiting."

Ling Xiao was speechless.

With a somber expression, he stepped aside, and Gu Yunmo carried Yan Zhi out of the Yan family home.

The black Bentley's engine roared low and deep, and it quickly disappeared in a cloud of dust.

Xia Linglong stomped her feet in anger and cursed Gu Yunmo in the direction the car had left.

Ling Xiao walked out of the Yan family home with a dim look in his eyes.

"Senior! How could you just stand by and watch Xiaozhi be taken away?"

"Xiao Zhi and he are, after all, a legally married couple, and besides... she likes Gu Yunmo so much."

His relationship with Yan Zhi when they were young was, in the end, nothing more than a childish game.

When they were in school, Ling Xiao confessed his feelings to Yan Zhi in public, and Yan Zhi acquiesced to save his face, but in reality, the two never got together.

"This time it's different!"

Xia Linglong's eyes reddened with anxiety. "Xiao Zhi is truly heartbroken this time. She will never forgive that bastard Gu Yunmo! You know how that bastard Gu Yunmo treated her! Xiao Zhi shouldn't have wasted her youth on someone like that!"

Ling Xiao gradually came to his senses.

Even if Yan Zhi doesn't like him, he can't just stand by and watch Yan Zhi be hurt by Gu Yunmo!

He took out his phone and called a detective agency that specializes in information gathering.

"Help me gather all the information on the Gu family and keep an eye on Gu Yunmo's movements."

……

Gu Yunmo took Yan Zhi to the hospital and reviewed her medical records, which allowed him to truly understand Yan Zhi's postpartum physical condition.

She fainted twice, had a high fever and was unconscious for a time, and her stitched wound tore open again before it had fully healed.

Gu Yunmo held the medical records in his hands, his face so solemn it was almost dripping ink.

He immediately held the hospital director accountable.

"Why is it that every time I ask about her situation over the past two months, your answer is always 'it's great'? What the hell is so great about that?!"

The medical record was thrown at the dean's face, and the dean looked at his toes in a panic.

"Mr. Gu! This is what Old Mrs. Gu ordered! We have no choice but to do as she says!"

"What did you say?"

"Grandma Gu said that you are already grieving the loss of your beloved daughter, and there's no need to add to your sorrow. She instructed us to take good care of Miss Yan to avoid causing you any worry."

Since it was Grandma's good intention, Gu Yunmo didn't pursue the matter further.

The doctor gave Yan Zhi a sedative injection, and he stayed by her side silently the whole time. Yan Zhi didn't open her eyes until late at night.

When she woke up and saw Gu Yunmo, her expression showed no surprise.

"Where is my daughter? Where is Yan Fei? Let's get a divorce."

Yan Zhi has been repeating these three sentences over and over again lately.

But when the child got into trouble, Gu Yunmo's mood wasn't much better than Yan Zhi's.

In the quiet ward, the two stared at each other. Gu Yunmo sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed, the halo of the spotlight falling on him, making him look noble and gorgeous, but also cold and cruel.

Yan Zhi lay flat on her back; the once cheerful and happy little girl had now become an emotionally unstable and resentful woman.

Two minutes later, Gu Yunmo broke the deadlock.

"I can let you see videos and photos of the children regularly, but on the condition that you don't mention divorce again and take good care of your own health."

Yan Zhi's gaze drifted to the ceiling, her face devoid of any expression, as she repeated his last sentence in a self-deprecating tone.

"Take good care of your health so you can have a second child to support your family?"

Gu Yunmo placed his fingers interlaced on his thighs, the smooth fabric of his suit clearly outlining his tall and imposing figure.

"Think what you want. If you agree, we'll sign the agreement. Just a heads up, this is your only chance to see the child."

Yan Zhi sniffed. She didn't want to make a fuss, nor could she. A few seconds later, she slowly sat up by supporting herself with her arms.

"Where is the agreement?"

Gu Yunmo had already made preparations and made a phone call to have Jiang Jin deliver it over.

The agreement clearly stipulates that she can see photos and videos of the children every month, but she is not allowed to request visitation or inquire about the children's whereabouts, and she is not allowed to file for divorce on the grounds of the children.

Yan Zhi read it word by word, and only asked one question.

"Can I see the photos and videos now?"

"Can."

As soon as Gu Yunmo finished speaking, Yan Zhi picked up a pen and signed her name.

He kept his promise, took out his phone, and showed her several photos and videos of the baby.

I've heard that all newborns are pretty much the same, with wrinkled little faces and soft, chubby cheeks.

She zoomed in and out of the photos. There were only five photos, and she looked at them five or six times, from her eyebrows and eyes to her nose and mouth, trying to find the similarities between them and herself.

This is her daughter.

She carried her child for ten months and gave birth to their daughter with Gu Yunmo, filled with anticipation.

She opened the video again, and after hearing that innocent cry, she could no longer control her emotions.

Her daughter cried, and she cried too, tears falling onto the screen.

She thought it was a short time, but in fact half an hour had passed before Gu Yunmo ruthlessly snatched her phone away.

Yan Zhi quickly pleaded, "Could you send me the photos and videos? I promise I won't ask to see the child!"

The man put his phone back in his pocket, as if he had just been kind-hearted but was still blaming Yan Zhi for being too greedy.

"This is Yan Fei's child; you don't need to place any feelings on it."

Yan Zhi felt a lump in her throat.

Fortunately, she had already accepted the fact that Gu Yunmo did not love her.

She was already very content to see the photos and videos.

Given the forced marriage incident, she has no right to ask anything of Gu Yunmo now.
