Mr. Bo, my wife is going on a date with someone again.

The amount of information was too much for the master's wife to process for a moment. She was so shocked that she didn't even bother to pick the vegetables in her hands. She looked at Yan Ji who was calmly picking the vegetables, and then looked in the direction of the living room: "Did you bring him here on purpose to let him listen to what Old Peng said?"

"The plan to come and see you and the teacher was made before the New Year. He just came along as a drop-in."

Outside, Professor Peng was still sighing, lamenting that Yan Ji was wasting his talent. He didn't hear Gu Chenye's voice, and it was unclear whether he felt sorry for Yan Ji or was annoyed by his nagging and didn't want to pay attention to the crazy old man in front of him.

"You want him to feel bad?" The master's wife was old, and couldn't keep up with the imagination of young people. She seemed to understand why Yan Ji did this, but she also seemed not to understand. Her mind was a mess: "Then why don't you tell him directly? You are the person involved, and you can definitely describe the details more vividly than Lao Peng, who only has a vague understanding."

Yan Ji looked at the half-washed dish in his hand, lost in thought for a moment, then smiled gently: "Some things are more shocking when heard from others."

If you say it yourself, you will always be suspected of complaining.

"..."

The master's wife didn't say anything, but looked at her with complicated eyes, glancing at her hands from time to time. Although she was not a doctor and didn't teach at the medical school, her husband was an excellent surgeon before he retired. She knew how important hands were to their profession.

It's a pity that such a talented child can't become a doctor because of a hand injury.

Noticing her scrutiny, Yan Ji said softly, "Master's wife, do you think I'm scary?"

"No," she hastily denied it, fearing that Yan Ji would overthink it. After a long silence, she asked hesitantly, "Was your hand injured by your husband?"

If that's true, Yan Ji is such a pitiful child.

Fortunately, Yan Ji shook his head. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her say, "It was his ex-fiancee who did it."

"..."

The soup had already been stewed, and Yan Ji helped with the other dishes. In just one hour, seven dishes and one soup were ready. In the living room, Old Peng was playing chess with Gu Chenye, and the game was getting very exciting. Few young people nowadays know how to play chess, and even if there are, they are either not very good at it or lack patience. It has been a long time since he has been so attentive to a game of chess.

He was holding a flag, and when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw Yan Ji coming out of the kitchen with dishes: "Xiao Yan, you found a good husband. He is good at chess and has high emotional intelligence. They say that chess character is like a person's character..."

Before Yan Ji could say anything, the master's wife who was following closely behind him spoke first: "Wash your hands and eat."

Her tolerance for handsome guys had disappeared completely with the conversation in the kitchen just now. Now looking at Gu Chenye was like looking at a bastard. As the saying goes, people are of the same family. To have such a cruel fiancée, he must not be a good person either.

Mr. Peng: "Ah, you guys eat first. Chen Ye and I will finish this game of chess first..."

"I didn't know you. You can think for half an hour before making a move, and you can even have dinner right after finishing a game of chess. Xiaoyan and the others came from far away, but you didn't even let them eat. Which student will dare to come and see you in the future?"

When his wife reminded him, Mr. Peng finally remembered their status as guests. He put down the chess piece in his hand with a wry smile and said, "Chen Ye, let's go and eat first. We'll continue playing after we're done."

Ever since Yan Ji came out, Gu Chenye's eyes have been on her. The woman was wearing an apron, and her long hair that was tied behind her head was a little loose, with some strands of hair hanging down at her temples, completely unlike the straight and cold look she had in Kyoto.

After dinner, Gu Chenye played two more games of chess with Mr. Peng. Finally, as he was almost late for the plane, he said goodbye and left in the reluctant gazes of the two elderly people.

Seeing Yan Ji staring out the window after getting in the car, he thought she wanted to stay and play for a few days, so he pretended to be casual and said, "There's nothing to do these two days, just go to visit the relatives."

"Ah."

Gu Chenye waited for her to continue speaking, and then nothing happened.

"..." The man was so angry at her incompetence that his heart ached. He let out a long breath and said in a tough voice, "If you don't want to leave, you can stay and play for a few days."

Yan Ji was like a programmed robot: “No need.”

There was not a single word more. If he had not seen Yan Ji's lively eyes and eyebrows at Professor Peng's house, he would not think it was a big deal. Anyway, since he met her, she looked like a piece of wood. The only time she was lively was when she opened her mouth to hurt people. But now, looking at her like this, he felt a fire burning in his heart.

The only sound in the quiet air was Gu Chenye's occasional gnashing of teeth.

half an hour.

The man then asked tentatively: "Do you have an aunt?"

Yan Ji has been his wife for two years, but he only discovered today that he knew nothing about her past. He only knew that her parents had died and she was adopted by the Yan family, but he knew nothing else, not even who her friends were.

The woman was stunned for a moment, probably because she didn't expect him to ask this. She squeezed out a word from her throat: "...Hmm."

She didn't respond, and Gu Chenye wasn't sure whether she had recovered from her pain, so he didn't ask any more questions. Since she was willing to study medicine for the other person, that person must have been very good to her when he was alive.

But when no one spoke, Gu Chenye felt upset again. He rubbed his brows and took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner anxiety. His eyes fell on Yan Ji's wrist, which was covered by the watch strap and the scar could not be seen: "Were you very sad at that time?"

Yan Ji's aunt passed away when she was in her sophomore year, but since she did not change her major and became an excellent student with both talent and hard work in the words of Mr. Peng, she must really like this line of work.

But before she could show her head, she was completely trapped in the quagmire. The blow was so devastating that she felt devastated just thinking about it.

"Hmm?" Yan Ji didn't understand until her eyes followed Gu Chenye's gaze and fell on her wrist. Then she understood what he meant: "Hmm, I'm very sad."

She took off her watch, raised her hand and looked closely at the scar on her wrist, which was still obvious even after two years. She said she was sad, but the light in her eyes was excited and satisfied.

This was her first step to success. She deliberately provoked Mu Yunyao and used her wrist to deliberately meet him. She planned everything carefully, which led to the following steps. She used the little affection that the Yan family had for her to the extreme. Whether it was putting Mu Yunyao in jail or forcing Gu Chenye to marry her, it was a deep and heavy blow to the little Princess Mu.

But before that, she also thought that the Yan family did not want to offend anyone because of her and would make a big deal out of a small matter. If that were the case, then she would think of other ways, and at most her efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, she won the bet and her ideal was not wasted.

Gu Chenye looked at the conflicted expression on her face and pursed his lips: "How about I take you to the psychiatric department for a follow-up examination after the New Year."
