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

Zhou Shuyue returned home in a daze. Looking at the empty living room, past memories suddenly came flooding back. In those happy family scenes, it was always Yan Chuan and Yan Jiaojiao who were playing around, while Yan Ji was as quiet as a background board, ignored by everyone.

But it was definitely not like this when Yan Ji first came home. She would take the initiative to talk to them, try hard to integrate into the family, and call her "Mom" tenderly.

When did she become so taciturn and prickly?

Zhou Shuyue held onto the door and tried to recall for a while, but it had been so long that she couldn't remember anything.

Guilt, self-blame, regret... countless emotions filled her chest, making her unable to bear it for even a second. She walked a few steps to the door of the study. After being married for many years, this was the first time she went in without knocking.

Yan Weizheng glanced at her and said with certainty: "She doesn't want to come back with you?"

When Zhou Shuyue said that she was going to pick up Yan Ji for dinner, he had already guessed the result. Although his daughter did not grow up with them, her stubborn personality was exactly like his.

Zhou Shuyue looked at him steadily, with two flames burning in her eyes: "I want to make Xiao Ji's identity public and let everyone know that she is our biological daughter."

Yan Wei Zheng stood up from his seat, walked over with a sullen face and closed the study door, looking at Zhou Shuyue sternly: "Now that we admit that Yan Ji is our biological daughter, do you know what this means? It means that I lied to the organization back then, and I will be punished. At the very least, I will have to sit in this position until retirement, or at worst, I may be demoted."

"What about Xiao Ji? Should we let her be adopted as our daughter forever?" She looked at her husband with disappointment, "Do you know how much she has been bullied over the years? If those people knew she was our biological daughter, they would definitely not dare to treat her like this."

Yan Weizheng held her shoulders and said seriously, "We were too careless before. Those people thought we didn't value Xiaoji, so they dared to bully her. We will make up for it in the future and let those people know that even though Xiaoji is our adopted daughter, we still pamper her. Then that kind of thing will not happen again."

Zhou Shuyue angrily pulled Yan Weizheng's hand off her shoulder, "After all, it's all for your career. You're going to retire in a few years, so what does it matter if you get promoted or not? You're just selfish. I shouldn't have listened to you and registered Xiaoji's household registration under the nanny's name..."

She couldn't hold back and burst into tears: "If I hadn't been adopted, the following things wouldn't have happened."

Yan Weizheng looked at her quietly, waiting until she had vented her emotions and stopped crying before he said, "Think about Xiaochuan. He also plans to take the civil service exam in the future. Do you want to stop his career before it even begins?"

"..."

Zhou Shuyue's lips trembled a few times and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The silence in the room was broken by a loud slam of a door closing outside. When Zhou Shuyue and Yan Weizhen opened the door and went out, Yan Chuan, who was playing games in the room, had disappeared.

……

Not long after Yan Ji drove out of the compound, he received a call from Gu Chenye: "Come pick me up at Yelan."

His voice was erratic, and it was obvious that he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

“I don’t work as a part-time driver.”

"You are my wife."

"The law only stipulates that when you are in the hospital, I have to sign to decide whether to treat you or give up. It does not stipulate that I have to pick you up if you are drunk."

“……”Gu Chenye was so angry that he hung up the phone.

Late night.

Seeing him throw his phone in anger, Bo Jingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Are you in love with Yan Ji?"

Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason to explain his current behavior. He is dragging his feet and is unwilling to divorce. He knows that the other party is annoyed with him, but he still has to get close to her. The most important thing is that he didn't do anything after being slapped. He was angry only because Yan Ji was talking on the phone with another man when he hit him.

If it were someone else, they might not be in Kyoto now.

"..."

He didn't say anything, so Bo Jingzhou took it as his tacit agreement: "Didn't you say that even if all the women in the world died, I wouldn't fall in love with Yan Ji?"

In the past, whenever Gu Chenye mentioned Yan Ji, he was disgusted and impatient. Someone joked that he shouldn't go too far, otherwise he would end up in the crematorium chasing his wife. This is what he said at that time.

Gu Chenye frowned, his face full of disgust: "The most blind thing God did was to give you a mouth."

He stood up and picked up the coat beside him: "Let's go."

"Shall I ask the driver to take you?"

"I'm not so poor that I can't even afford a designated driver."

"Then why did you let Yan Ji pick it up?"

"……Shut up."

When Gu Chenye returned to the Gu Mansion, Yan Ji also arrived home. As soon as she opened the car door, she was blocked by the man: "Why didn't you come to pick me up?"

The smell of alcohol hitting him made Yan Ji frown: "Aren't you back?"

"You slapped me for no reason, and I didn't want to pick you up. How can you be a wife like this?"

He grabbed her wrist, not letting her leave, and looked at her closely, with two small flames flickering in the depths of his pupils.

Yan Ji was sure that he was really drunk. Gu Chenye would definitely not be able to say these words when he was sober.

She sighed: "Let me remind you, we are getting divorced. Have you ever seen a couple whose relationship broke down..."

Before she could finish her words, the man held the back of her head and kissed her. The rich aroma of wine spread in Yan Ji's mouth as his tongue probed into her.

Yan Ji didn't feel a tremor in her heart, nor did she feel nervous or excited about Gu Chenye's sudden kiss. She just felt disgusted and repulsed. She pushed him away with force: "If you don't want to be arrested for indecency, don't touch me."

Gu Chenye half bent over, and under her cold gaze, his breathing gradually became heavy. It seemed as if a fire was spreading in his blood vessels, burning his sensitive nerves every time. An uncontrollable impulse gathered in his lower abdomen, pulsating in jumps.

He gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "You are my wife, we have obtained a marriage certificate, let alone kissing, even having sex is legal."

"How about I call Lawyer Huo now and ask him to explain to you what marital rape is?"

Gu Chenye: "..."

Asking Huo Tingdong to explain this is like telling the other party clearly that Yan Ji doesn't let him touch him and wants to sue him for marital rape?

He couldn't afford to lose face like this.

"I don't agree to divorce." Seeing Yan Ji's face suddenly darken because of his words, Gu Chenye felt a secret pleasure in his heart. He emphasized: "Yan Ji, as long as I don't agree, you will have to bear the identity of Mrs. Gu for the rest of your life."

Yan Ji was not as angry as he thought. Instead, he curled his lips at him and said, "You will agree. As long as it is what I want to do, it will definitely happen. If I really can't leave, I don't mind being a widow."
