Chapter 286 I Won't Get a Divorce

"They arrived quite quickly."

Gu Yanchen sighed, found a shawl, and forcefully draped it over her before opening the door.

Ji Ying strode to the front yard, and the first thing that caught her eye was a "Warrior" assault vehicle lying on the lawn.

Although there are no clear markings on the car door, its unique and rugged character already indicates that it comes from a special department that should not be underestimated.

Upon seeing her appear, the door of the "Warrior" suddenly opened.

Liang Yizhi got out of the car.

The man's posture remained upright, showing no sign of illness. He looked at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Ji Ying's carefully maintained calm exterior seemed to crack slightly. Her lips moved slightly, but she said nothing. She simply tore off her shawl and ran towards him.

But she stopped halfway through the run.

What am I so nervous about?

Nothing should have happened between her and Gu Yanchen, but this has become an undeniable fact.

If he doesn't believe her, does he expect her to swear oaths or even resort to extreme measures to beg him to believe her?

To try and explain yourself is no different from demeaning yourself.

Her innocence needs no proof to anyone.

Seeing that she wasn't leaving, Liang Yizhi frowned slightly and walked towards her in a few steps.

Just as I was about to speak, a gust of cold wind blew in.

Without saying a word, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

"Are you alright?"

Perhaps afraid of startling her, he spoke very softly.

Ji Ying opened her mouth, but the decisive "no" got stuck in her throat.

She felt it wasn't there, but she couldn't be entirely sure while she was unconscious.

She wrapped his coat tighter around herself and whispered, "I don't think so."

Liang Yizhi instantly understood her hesitation, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked sharply at Gu Yanchen.

"An ex-husband should have the boundaries of an ex-husband."

Gu Yanchen stood under the corridor, his gaze flippant.

"You've already said I'm her ex-husband, so my relationship with her isn't ordinary."

The air seemed to freeze.

Liang Yizhi squeezed Ji Ying's hand and carefully helped her into the car. Then he turned to face Gu Yanchen, his aura extremely low.

"Let's find a place to talk."

Gu Yanchen seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

He slightly raised his chin, pointed towards the backyard, and uttered a single word, "Please."

The two men walked one after the other to the spacious back garden of the villa.

By this time, it was already daylight, and the morning breeze could not calm the tense standoff between the two.

Without any unnecessary words, Liang Yizhi's fist, accompanied by a chilling wind, struck the opponent's face.

Gu Yanchen had anticipated this and dodged to the side, while simultaneously unleashing a fierce leg strike towards Liang Yi's lower body.

They were all quite skilled; their punches and kicks were a clash of power and technique.

Finally, Liang Yizhi landed a heavy punch on Gu Yanchen's abdomen. Taking advantage of Gu Yanchen's pain and bending over, Liang Yizhi struck him on the back with an elbow, pinning him firmly to the stone bench.

However, he did not intend to kill him; he stopped short of killing him and let Gu Yanchen go.

Gu Yan coughed heavily several times, then plopped down on the stone bench and chuckled, "Losing to you isn't shameful."

Despite the pain in his back, Liang Yizhi found a stone bench and sat down.

However, his posture was so upright that no one doubted his true situation.

“I know you don’t have the guts to touch her, but I really dislike the fact that you brought her here.”

“Liang Yizhi,” Gu Yanchen wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, “I am a normal man, and I still deeply love my ex-wife.”

Liang Yizhi's hand, which was resting on his lap, instantly clenched into a fist.

Just as they were about to make a move, they saw Gu Yanchen wave to the side, and Chen Yuan walked over with a file folder in his hand.

"Mr. Liang, this is Ms. Ji's medical examination report."

He paused, then added, "It's a non-invasive physical examination."

Liang Yizhi took out the report inside and read it quickly.

Gu Yanchen's eyes were dark and gloomy as he said, "Her health condition is not optimistic. You'd better find some trustworthy experts to examine her carefully."

"You don't need to worry about my wife's affairs."

Liang Yizhi stuffed the documents back into the file folder.

Gu Yanchen chuckled and looked away.

"After that miscarriage, she fell into the sea and I locked her in a cold basement, causing her permanent physical damage. She may never be able to become a mother again. I feel very guilty about the harm I caused her. If you mind that she can't have children..."

“What I care about is her as a person, not whether she can have children,” Liang Yizhi interrupted him firmly. “I care about her health more than anyone else. You are an outsider and have no right to interfere in our marital affairs.”

After saying that, he got up, took the file folder, and headed to the front yard.

Jiang Ran and others waited at the courtyard gate.

This place is some distance from the front yard, so the sounds of the fight couldn't be heard outside at all.

Liang Yizhi handed her the file folder, saying, "Destroy it."

Jiang Ran took it, "Yes!"

As I walked into the front yard, I immediately saw Ji Ying standing by the car.

Out of concern for him, she couldn't comfortably wait in the car.

Liang Yizhi frowned and strode over.

"Who told you to come down? You can wait anywhere, why are you being so disobedient?"

The man's tone was unpleasant, causing Ji Ying to swallow back all the words of concern she had prepared.

Liang Yizhi pushed her into the car and then got in himself.

The car slowly reversed out of the villa and then drove away.

Gu Yan stood quietly at the courtyard gate until the taillights disappeared completely, only then did he realize how particularly cold the cold dew was this morning.

Her resolute stance made him acutely aware that he had completely lost her.

This realization caused Gu Yan immense grief.

However, the atmosphere inside the car was oppressive and silent.

Ji Ying didn't want to explain, and she couldn't figure out what Liang Yizhi was thinking at the moment, so she simply kept quiet.

Liang Yizhi's heart was filled with turmoil.

What bothers him is her resentment towards him for "giving up" on her again, and how long will it last?

He didn't dare to talk to her, afraid that she would feel cold-hearted, afraid that she would break up with him.

The silence between the two was so heavy it was suffocating.

Just as Ji Ying felt the silence was driving her crazy and was about to speak, Liang Yizhi preemptively said, "I will not get a divorce."

"……What?"

Ji Ying's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"I said, I won't get a divorce."

Liang Yizhi's voice was loud, and Jiang Ran silently raised the partition.

Ji Ying was slightly taken aback, then suddenly understood.

It turns out that his cold attitude just now wasn't because he minded that she had stayed at Gu Yanchen's villa for one night, but because he was afraid that she would bring up divorce.

This man...

Ji Ying felt a mix of emotions, both angry and wanting to laugh.

She deliberately put on a stern face and said, "What makes you think I can't divorce you?"

Liang Yizhi raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to her with an air of self-righteousness.

"Because I have top-notch accessories, excellent service, and I'm not clingy. Where else can you find such a perfect man without me?"

Ji Ying was speechless at his twisted logic, but finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

What do you mean by laughing?

Liang Yizhi then pulled her into his arms.

The words "I never thought about divorce" were almost on Ji Ying's lips, but she abruptly changed her mind and said them instead.

A sly glint flashed in her eyes. "You really don't want a divorce?"

Liang Yizhi nodded solemnly.

Ji Ying looked at him and said seriously, "Those kidnappers not only interrogated me about whether I was Shen Ruoheng, but also demanded that I hand over something. So tell me... what exactly are you and they looking for?"
