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

Just as Gu Chenye was about to speak, Yan Ji put out his cigarette and slammed the window shut.

"..."

The man expressionlessly pulled away Mu Yunyao's hand and said, "Don't be superstitious. Whether things go well or not has nothing to do with whether you make a wish on your birthday. Let's go. I'll ask the driver to take you back."

Mu Yunyao looked at the man's back as he walked away, and clenched the ribbon of the cake in her hand angrily: "Chen Ye, now you can't even spend my birthday with me?"

She knew it was best to say nothing at this moment and just look at him with pitiful eyes. This would better show the gap between her and Yan Ji. No man with a sound mind would be attracted by such an unreasonable and aggressive woman.

But Mu Yunyao was too anxious. She remembered clearly what she had done and knew that Yan Ji would not let her go. Back then, that woman had forced her to that state simply by relying on the affection of adoption from the Yan family. If Chen Ye continued to protect her, she would really be pinned to the ground and rubbed by Yan Ji.

Although I have never had to worry about food and clothing and have not suffered any grievances during the past two years abroad, it is like a vacation, but the feeling of going out on your own and of being kicked out are different.

She could choose not to be with Gu Chenye, but she would never let him be with Yan Ji, otherwise her future would be finished.

"Yun Yao," the man rubbed his brows. He was already tired from traveling back and forth today, and now he had to stand outside in the cold wind and talk to people. Anyone would be annoyed. "I'm married now, and it's not appropriate for me to celebrate my birthday alone."

"What...what?" Mu Yunyao was so shocked that she seemed to be broken. She looked at him in shock and pain, tears welling up in her red eyes.

Gu Chenye's heart was not moved. He had never been deeply in love before, and now he had no regrets. He opened the car door for Mu Yunyao like a gentleman: "Give my regards to my uncle and aunt. I will go to wish them a happy new year in a few days."

The relationship between the two families is very complicated and involved. They will not cut off contact just because he and Mu Yunyao are not together.

"……good……"

Mu Yunyao stared at Gu Chenye blankly. The shock she had suffered tonight was too great and she needed some quiet time. Countless thoughts were running through her mind.

They are an engaged couple recognized by both sets of parents, so why can't they celebrate their birthdays separately?

Who the hell is Yan Ji? He is a mistress who broke up other people's marriages and a country bumpkin. Why does he take the position of Mrs. Gu?

Does Chen Ye want to break up with their Mu family for her?

Mu Yunyao pinched her palm hard, the pain made her rational, she raised the corner of her lips: "Happy New Year, I'll go back first, you go in too, it's too cold outside."

Don't be impulsive. You need to calm down and think carefully. Ask your mother. Her mother has been able to control her father so well over the years. There must be some secret technique that she hasn't taught her yet.

After the car left, Gu Chenye turned around and went up the stairs. He entered his fingerprint but there was no response. He turned the door handle only to find it was locked.

"..."

The only one who can control the main panel to lock him out is Yan Ji, the owner of the house.

All the building materials of Gu Mansion are of excellent quality, and electronic products such as door locks are even more sophisticated. Not to mention bulletproof, they can even defend against bombs of average power. It was originally built to prevent thieves, but no one expected that the first person to be locked out would be him.

Gu Chenye took a deep breath, and after confirming that he couldn't open it, he took out his cell phone and called Yan Ji.

"what's up?"

"Open the door."

"It's curfew."

"???" Gu Chenye had a bad feeling in his heart. He pursed his lips and asked, "What access control?"

"If you come home after 10 o'clock and don't report in advance, you can't enter the house. It's written in the marriage agreement."

"..."

He remembered that Yan Ji had signed a prenuptial agreement with him, which listed all the clauses on a whole page. At that time, he was just annoyed with her and didn't even read the content carefully. He threw it to Huo Tingdong and signed it after making sure that there were no clauses that would harm his financial interests.

I didn't expect the trap to be here. No wonder Huo Tingdong looked at him strangely at that time.

Gu Chenye gritted his teeth and asked, "Why were you able to enter before?"

"I'm in a good mood, so I won't bother with you," Yan Ji's lazy voice came from the other end of the receiver. Even if he didn't see her, he could imagine that she must be leaning against the wall at the moment, looking nonchalant: "I'm generous, you should be grateful, instead of taking it for granted."

"Heh," the man couldn't help but sneer, "You locked me outside in the cold wind, and I should thank you?"

"If you have love, drinking water can satisfy your hunger. Besides, you are just getting some fresh air. If you are really cold, just hold me tight."

Immediately afterwards, there were a few busy beeps from the receiver. Gu Chenye took the phone from his ear and saw that the hung up call had automatically jumped back to the call record page.

Mr. Gu, who always had his way with others, was locked out for the first time and couldn't get in. Looking at the closed door in front of him, he felt very depressed.

Tomorrow he will replace this broken door with a wooden door that can be broken with one kick.

……

Yan Ji stayed at home like Ge You for two days. During this period, Zhou Shuyue called her several times. Knowing that there was a gap between her and them, she did not urge her to go back for the reunion dinner, but only said some caring words.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she changed into spring clothes, put on her newly bought high heels, and went to the coffee shop closest to Gu Mansion to keep an appointment with Mu's mother. It was still during the New Year holiday, and the huge coffee shop was empty except for the staff.

When she arrived, there were still two minutes before the agreed time. She looked around the hall but didn't see Mu's mother.

Yan Ji didn't go in, but stood at the door and waited until the right time. When he saw that no one came, he turned around and left without ignoring her at all.

"Xiao Ji," just after taking two steps away, Mu's mother's voice came from behind, "Why are you leaving?"

It was a kind of arrogance that could not be concealed no matter how gentle he was, and it was the disdain for her that came from deep in his bones.

Yan Ji turned around.

Mu's mother glanced behind her calmly, and when she didn't see Gu Chenye, the tenderness on her face suddenly faded a lot, "Sit down, I just went to the bathroom, I'm not late."

No matter how mature Yan Ji was, in her eyes, she was just an innocent girl. She could see through her thoughts at a glance. However, she came here today for serious matters and did not want to get into a dispute with her over such an unnecessary little issue.

The woman was already over fifty, but she was well maintained, with no white hair and no obvious wrinkles. Her years of experience in the officialdom made her very imposing. Her tone and expression were full of command, "Let me talk to you about Yun Yao."

"Go ahead," Yan Ji chose a seat near the door, sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. When he looked up, he saw Mu's mother still standing there. A sneer of sarcasm appeared on her lips: "Aunt, you are not scared, are you?"
