Yan Ji looked at him with an expression of mystery. Just when Gu Chenye thought that she was going to make sarcastic remarks as usual, the woman turned her head slightly, spit out the water in her mouth, tilted her head back, and half-opened her mouth for him to see.

Weirdly obedient.

Gu Chenye: "..."

Looking at the woman's lips and tongue so close to him, his throat tightened inexplicably and he swallowed subconsciously. What he said just now was just a reflexive reflex because he saw Yan Ji seemed to be in pain. But he regretted it right after he said it because it sounded really obscene.

Yan Ji seemed not to notice his complicated emotions, and still maintained the posture of looking up to facilitate his inspection. Because his mouth was open, his voice was a little unclear: "Is it serious?"

Gu Chenye quickly collected his thoughts and took a serious look: "It's a little red."

The atmosphere gradually became quiet. The bright lights of the restaurant shone on the two people. Their eyes met. Every second and every frame was particularly ambiguous.

Yan Ji asked casually, "Do you think Mu Qinyun can get what he wants?"

Mu Qinyun is Mu Yunyao's father, and his biggest wish now is probably to sit in that position.

How could Gu Chenye not hear such a direct test? No wonder he was so obedient, it turned out that he had a purpose. The throbbing in his heart caused by the ambiguity was extinguished by the basin of ice water, and he asked coldly: "Do you care?"

"Of course, I stole her man in the first place. If her family gets promoted and becomes rich, they will kill me first."

"..." Gu Chenye snorted, his expression improved a little: "No."

"Will he not get promoted, or will he not kill me?" She was determined to get to the bottom of it and insisted that Gu Chenye give her a definite answer.

Yan Ji's aggressiveness made the man frown involuntarily, and he subconsciously said: "She won't..."

Gu Chenye paused in the middle of his words. He remembered the information he saw this afternoon. The Mu Yunyao mentioned there was obviously not the same person as the Mu Yunyao he knew.

Seeing his sudden silence, the woman raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you continue?"

He did not deny that Mu Qinyun would take up that position, which probably meant he acquiesced. Yan Ji had expected this a long time ago, so he was not too upset. However, he was not willing to pay attention to him for even a second, so he immediately shut up and sat up straight.

Gu Chenye was so angry at her sudden change of attitude that he laughed. His eyes slid over her body, thinking of the information he had read today: "Were you scared at that time?"

"???" This was a confusing question, and Yan Ji didn't understand it for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, and found that he was staring at his hand. He thought he was asking about Mu Yunyao cutting her tendons. Although he didn't know what he was thinking, he still perfunctorily replied: "It's okay."

Gu Chenye was silent for a few seconds: "I'm asking about the time when they blocked you in the alley and bullied you."

Yan Ji was only surprised for a moment, then returned to normal. Although those things happened many years ago, with Gu Chenye's background and connections, he could find out if he really wanted to.

After knowing that he knew those things, she felt that the face in front of her was even more hateful.

In the past, Gu Chenye didn't know what the Mu family had done. He protected Mu Yunyao and helped the Mu family. Yan Ji just thought he was a fool. Although he disliked him, he didn't hate him much and didn't think of taking revenge on him. After all, who would bother with a fool? But now that he knows and still stands on Mu Qinyun's side, he is just like them, stupid and bad.

Yan Ji stood up with a cold face, his eyes full of condescending and disdainful sarcasm: "You and Mu Yunyao are really a perfect match, you should be locked up forever, don't come out and tease others."

Gu Chenye was so angry that he laughed, and the anger in his heart rose up: "...Yan Ji, you don't understand good and bad words, right?"

He obviously cared about her.

Yan Ji: “Yes.”

Not only did she not understand what was said, but before leaving, she also splashed the ice water that Aunt Song had given her to cool down all over Gu Chenye's face. In the weather at the end of February, only those who were splashed with a glass of ice water would know how it felt.

Drops of water rolled down his cheeks and seeped into his collar.

"..."

No words can describe Gu Chenye's mood at the moment.

When Huo Tingdong called, he had just wiped the water off his face and was about to go upstairs: "The Legal Department has something to tell you. It will take a while. Is it convenient?"

"Come out for a drink."

"..."

Gu Chenye went upstairs to change his clothes before going out. When he passed the guest room, he looked at the closed door and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

When he arrived, Huo Tingdong had already drunk half a bottle of wine. When he saw him, he pushed the document in front of him forward: "Sign."

The man walked over to him and sat down, without even glancing at the documents on the table: "Don't talk to me about work after get off work. If you really feel suffocated, go find that workaholic Bo Jingzhou. I still want to live to be 80 years old without any illness or pain."

"After marrying Yan Ji, do you still want to live to be eighty? Living past fifty is a long life."

Just following her around and helping her clean up the mess she made was time-consuming, laborious and costly.

Gu Chenye: "...How much do you know about her?"

"I don't know about the other things, except for the times I was sued, which were all related to the case." He took a sip of wine, looked at Gu Chenye who was obviously worried, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, are you worried about it?"

If he didn't have that intention, given his personality, he definitely wouldn't have asked even one more question.

Gu Chenye didn't answer and just kept drinking, which was considered as his agreement.

"She's your wife, so you care about her. It's not something that can be exposed to the public. Why are you acting so bitter and resentful?"

Gu Chenye wiped his face, the cold breath seemed to still remain on his skin. He snorted: "Before I came out, she poured a glass of ice water on me."

As much as he hated Yan Ji before, she hated him now, even more than before.

Not to mention just throwing ice water, even if it was accusing her of domestic violence, Huo Tingdong was not surprised: "You deserve to be splashed. Don't you know whether you treat her well or not?"

After two years of marriage, the outside world didn't know that they were husband and wife. Those who knew the situation also knew how much Gu Chenye hated Yan Ji, and he would frown even when the name was mentioned.

"If you like her, go after her. Why are you pretending to be affectionate in front of me? Can I comfort you or satisfy you on her behalf? It's really enough for you to drag me, a single guy, to talk about love with you guys."

Gu Chenye rolled his eyes at him. He was already annoyed, and now that his secret thoughts were exposed by Huo Tingdong, he became even more annoyed.

"What are you chasing after?"

Given their current incompatible relationship, let alone pursuing her, it is impossible for her to even have a nice conversation with him.

Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrows: "How about I give you a book on criminal law? Try to pick the ones with less severe sentences, maybe you can catch up with Twilight Love when you come out."

Gu Chenye sneered: "Twilight romance, if I dare to force her, she will kill me and use the ashes to feed the dog."

Huo Tingdong thought seriously for a moment, and nodded seriously: "It's possible."
