Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s

Li Jiuyuan: ?

"roll."

His voice was as cold as ice.

Gu Bai immediately backed down and quickly left.

Of course, before that, Gu Bai didn't forget to show his desire to express himself. He muttered to himself:

"Strictly speaking, we're going the same way; you and she are just going home together at most."

Jiang Momo was on the verge of tears.

She already knew Gu Bai's identity when she was discussing business during a social event today.

It's unbelievable that the young master of the prestigious Gu family would be so unreliable.

I don't know how Li Jiuyuan and he became good friends.

Fortunately, everyone else has left, so no one could hear what Gu Bai just said.

No one will discover the relationship between the two.

Jiang Momo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, completely unaware of Li Jiuyuan's gloomy face beside her.

After Gu Bai left, Jiang Momo's tense body relaxed.

She took a step to leave, but Li Jiuyuan grabbed her wrist.

The man didn't move, remaining rooted to the spot, and glanced down at her.

"Am I really that unpresentable?"

Pretending not to know each other during social gatherings is one thing, but when going home together, they can only make up an excuse that it's on the way.

Li Jiuyuan poured out his pent-up emotions when no one else was around.

"Or do you have another home to return to?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Momo's head.

What the heck?!

"Ninth Master, that's not what I meant."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jiuyuan grabbed her hand and led her outside.

"Then come home with me now."

The man had large hands, and naturally, he was very strong, pulling Jiang Momo's wrist painfully.

Li Jiuyuan led her to the restaurant entrance. A waiter drove the car over, and before Jiang Momo could resist, Li Jiuyuan yanked open the car door and shoved her inside.

"……hiss."

Jiang Momo was very nervous throughout the entire process.

The other employees in the company hadn't been gone long, and it was unclear whether anyone had seen the two of them together.

Without time to think it through, Li Jiuyuan got into the car.

The interior of the carriage was very spacious; even someone of Li Jiuyuan's stature didn't feel cramped inside.

The driver very considerately raised the barrier.

"Ninth Master".

Jiang Momo seemed to anticipate that the atmosphere might become tense, and her voice was weak, trembling slightly.

"Are you that afraid of me?"

"no."

Fearing that Li Jiuyuan would be angry, Jiang Momo frantically tried to make amends, but the more she talked, the more confused she became.

"I just don't want them to know about our relationship."

Li Jiuyuan: ...

Why?

He suppressed the anger surging in his chest and suddenly asked.

Jiang Momo was prepared for him to be angry, but she didn't know how to answer Li Jiuyuan's direct question.

If I told the truth, Li Jiuyuan would definitely be furious.

The reason she didn't want outsiders to know about their relationship was because Jiang Momo knew very well what was going on in her heart.

At Jingchuang, she is Jiang Momo.

But if she stays with Li Jiuyuan, she will have to play the role of Jiang Weiwei.

And Mr. Jing happened to know about his college days.

If we're not careful, it could easily be exposed.

Therefore, once she had saved up the money, she absolutely could not reveal her relationship with Li Jiuyuan to the public before her grandmother's surgery.

Jiang Momo came up with a new excuse for herself.

"Because...this is my own business, Ninth Master."

She spoke very seriously, and there was a genuine element of sincerity in her words.

"I don't want to rely on anyone; I just want to establish myself in the industry based on my own abilities."

"I don't want to be able to obtain resources only by using the name of Mrs. Li in the future."

Every word and phrase reached Li Jiuyuan's ears.

Reason told him that he should respect Jiang Momo's decision.

Emotionally speaking, Li Jiuyuan still felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Even if Jiang Momo didn't say it, he could guess that there was definitely more to it than just that.

She is unwilling to go public, probably because there are other men in her life.

Or perhaps, to her, he was just an object she could discard at any time.

Just like back then.

As long as no one else knows, Jiang Momo can leave at any time and eventually move to another city to start a new life.

You can even forget him openly and honestly.

A deep wound in his heart was reopened. All along, Li Jiuyuan thought he had forgotten the pain of that year.

As long as he doesn't think about it or recall it, those wounds will gradually heal in the corners he deliberately forgets.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

Pain does not disappear by avoidance.

It always exists, and if you accidentally touch it occasionally, you will discover the bloody, never-healed truth hidden beneath the seemingly intact scar.

Li Jiuyuan remained indifferent and did not respond to Jiang Momo's words.

The latter cautiously looked up at Li Jiuyuan, wanting to know if he believed it.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Momo's heart trembled.

Despite her seemingly indifferent expression, Jiang Momo inexplicably sensed a hint of sadness and grief.

Is Li Jiuyuan sad?

Why?

Could it be because he doesn't want to make their relationship public?

How is that possible?

She and Li Jiuyuan have only known each other for a little over a month. In Jiang Momo's mind, Li Jiuyuan's choice of Jiang Weiwei was nothing more than a business marriage.

Li Jiuye, who is known to the outside world for never getting involved with women, could never possibly develop feelings for a woman he has only known for a short time.

But that look in his eyes was so real, it was heartbreaking.

Regardless of what Li Jiuyuan was thinking, Jiang Momo felt she had to coax him.

This is her current obligation.

Jiang Momo took a deep breath, forcing herself to ignore the driver's presence.

The car was spacious, so she moved closer to Li Jiuyuan, looked up, her eyes glistening with tears, and even boldly poked Li Jiuyuan's cheek.

"Ninth Master, don't be angry."

"Later..."

Anyway, there was no way the two of them could have a future, Jiang Momo shamelessly promised:

"When I reach the same level as you one day, I will announce our relationship to the world."

When she no longer needs to look up to these superiors.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuyuan slightly curved the corners of his lips.

"Not angry anymore?"

Jiang Momo was secretly delighted.

It seems that Li Jiuyuan isn't as hard to coax as she imagined.

Having appeased the man, Jiang Momo straightened up, intending to leave.

Jiang Momo suddenly sensed something was wrong when her hand, which had been resting on Li Jiuyuan's cheek, was grasped.

"you……"

Li Jiuyuan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

Jiang Momo had no time to react and crashed straight into Li Jiuyuan's chest.

His heartbeat was almost audible to himself.

"You think you can coax me? That's not enough."

In some ways, Li Jiuyuan thought he must be very greedy.

He wanted everything Jiang Momo could give him, everything she wanted to give him.

He didn't want to let go of the person in front of him.

Jiang Momo realized something.

"No!"

She simply refused.

Li Jiuyuan refused to yield an inch.

"How you coax them is not up to you."
