Chapter 1003: Wanting a Divorce, the Marriage Certificate is Burned 2

"I was wrong, I am a yaksha."

He immediately gave in.

After the meal.

The table was a mess of cups and plates.

The person who had said they weren't hungry had actually eaten the most, though they hadn't drunk much alcohol; they didn't dare drink too much, fearing their wife would get angry.

"Waiter, check please."

He snapped his fingers and shouted loudly like a nouveau riche.

The waiter came over but handed the bill to Nianyin: "Manager Ji, this is your bill."

Nianyin signed her name on it, and the waiter took the bill away.

She stood up: "Looking at that pathetic display of yours just now, I was just scaring you; you don't need to treat, I'll pay."

"No, I have to pay you back. Since we agreed I would treat, I have to spend the money. One thing is one thing; you can't go back on your word."

He insisted on transferring the meal money to Nianyin and only considered it finished after watching her accept it.

Shi Family.

Gu Zhihao took the marriage certificate and household register out of his home safe like a thief, then tucked them into his chest, preparing to find a suitable place to burn them!

The kitchen wouldn't do.

Last time he had a fever, he almost burned the kitchen down; he couldn't burn these things in the kitchen.

The Study was even worse.

The house's alarm system was very sensitive, and the Study had no exhaust system; he couldn't use an open flame.

The bedroom was the same as the Study; it wouldn't do.

This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work; in the end, he chose the backyard.

The backyard was a vegetable garden where they usually grew some seasonal vegetables, and most importantly, his wife never went there, so it was relatively safe.

To be even safer, he also took a basin to the backyard.

Seeing no one around, he took out the marriage certificate and prepared to burn it!

The flame of the lighter kept burning, but he hesitated and didn't want to light it!

He couldn't bear to.

The marriage certificate was evidence that his marriage with Yuke was legal; if he burned it, divorce would certainly be difficult, but the evidence would also be gone.

He really couldn't bear to.

Scenes of the past flooded into his mind.

From the time he rescued Shi Yuke from the river, Shi Yuke had followed closely behind him, never leaving his side, like a little tail.

She wanted to eat steamed buns from a high-end restaurant, and he gritted his teeth and agreed.

She liked beautiful clothes and jewelry, although he felt that having two sets of clothes was enough and having more was useless.

But as long as she liked them, he was willing to buy them!

At first, there were no children, and they were a happy couple.

Later, when they had children, they were a happy family.

How happy and blissful they were back then!

The family was together in harmony, and his wife always looked at him with admiring eyes.

No matter what he did, she would praise him.

The children all liked her and were willing to play with her, unlike now, when they didn't even dare to get close when they saw her.

Unlike now, no matter how he performed in front of her, he wouldn't get a single smile in return.

All he ever got were cold, icy eyes.

No, cold eyes were even a luxury for him!

Since Shi Yuke regained her memory, she rarely looked him in the eye.

Even if she had to look, she would only glance for a second and immediately turn her head away.

He was immersed in his own world and didn't notice that several middle-aged women had gathered outside the fence.

"Xiao Hao, what are you doing?"

"You aren't going to burn your marriage certificate, are you? Oh my, you can't burn that thing..."

The middle-aged woman had a loud voice, and one shout brought even more women over to watch the spectacle.

"Shh! Keep your voices down."

He hurriedly lit the marriage certificate and burned it.

"Oh, you can't burn it; no matter how angry you are, you can't burn the marriage certificate."

"Xiao Gu, listen to me; being angry is one thing, and it's normal for a couple to argue and bicker, but you can't burn the marriage certificate."

The enthusiastic woman wanted to climb over the fence to stop him.

But her legs were short and her body was stout, so she couldn't do it.

Gu Zhihao explained while burning it: "Auntie Zhao, please keep your voice down. I'm not angry with Yuke; I'm doing this so we won't get divorced. If the marriage certificate is burned, the documents won't be complete, and we won't be able to divorce."

"Oh, oh, so that's how it is."

The women were relieved.

Now, instead of stopping him, they encouraged him: "We'll keep a lookout for you; don't let your wife find out."

"It's over, your wife is coming."

Shi Yuke pushed open the back door and walked into the backyard she never visited.

She said coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I'm not doing anything... Wife, why are you here?"

Gu Zhihao accompanied her with an awkward smile, his expression uglier than if he were crying: "Wife, you should go back quickly. It's windy outside, and your health is weak; don't catch a cold..."

Shi Yuke ignored him and looked into the basin.

Gu Zhihao spread his arms to block her, dodging left and right, but she still discovered it.

Although there was only ash in the basin, there was still a glowing red corner that hadn't finished burning!

"Who gave you this idea?" Shi Yuke demanded.

She did not believe that such a damaging trick could be thought up by the man in front of her.

"No one, it was my own idea."

"Even if you don't say it, I know who it is."

Shi Yuke turned and went back.

She went upstairs to change her clothes, handed the child to the nanny for a while, and prepared to go out.

"Wife, where are you going?"

"Move aside."

"I won't!"

"So you want to restrict my personal freedom, is that right?"

Shi Yuke was cold, and her words were even colder.

Compelled by the pressure radiating from his wife, he had no choice but to move aside, even though he was unwilling.

Jian Family Hospital.

Shi Yuke got out of the car, went to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and asked the nurse: "Hello, may I ask which Hospital Ward Ji Yingjie is in?"

The nurse didn't know the situation and assumed she was there for a visit.

"The innermost VIP Hospital Ward No. 1. Do you need me to take you there?"

"No need, thank you."

Shi Yuke arrived at the door of the Hospital Ward and was stopped by a bodyguard: "I'm sorry, you cannot enter. Our Madam has instructed that you are an unwelcome guest."

The Madam the bodyguard referred to was Nianyin.

However, Shi Yuke misunderstood; she thought Ji Yingjie had turned her away.

"Ji Yingjie, are you feeling guilty because you've done something wrong? Is that why you won't let me in? You're overstepping your bounds; my family affairs don't need your interference. Stop being a busybody..."

Just as the bodyguard was about to stop her, Nianyin came out: "What are you shouting about? What are you shouting about? This is a hospital, not a place for you to run wild."

Shi Yuke retorted: "Now you know a hospital isn't a place to run wild? Have you run wild in hospitals any less? When you swapped my child in front of me in the delivery room back then, why didn't you say a hospital wasn't a place to run wild?"

"Later, when my father went to the Ji Family to settle scores with you, why didn't you say a hospital wasn't a place to run wild?"

"You use double standards quite skillfully. You truly are a woman of the Ji Family, never reasonable..."

After Shi Yuke returned to normal, she had become somewhat different from before.

In the past, when facing people much stronger than her, she wouldn't choose to meet them head-on, but now she was actually confronting them directly, and without any fear!

Nianyin was too shocked and temporarily forgot to argue back.

"Move aside."

Shi Yuke pushed Nianyin aside and went in.

"You cannot go in."

She reacted and immediately prepared to stop her, but at this moment, the voice of the Mother came from inside: "Let her in."

"Yes, Mother."

Shi Yuke walked into the inner room, where Ji Yingjie was lying on the bed.

Although she had just finished surgery, her complexion was excellent, almost to the point of being described as radiant.

"You're here to settle scores with me, right? That's right, making Gu Zhihao burn the marriage certificate so you couldn't get a divorce was my idea. I just can't stand to see you doing well, and I don't want you to have things go your way. What can you do about it?"

Nianyin stared closely at Shi Yuke, afraid that she would harm the Mother.
