Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

The servant standing in front winked at the one behind and whispered, "Go and deliver the message quickly."

She pushed Ye Yu aside and rushed into the room, hysterically shouting, "Young Miss! Young Miss, how are you?"

After searching the room, they finally found Jinzhi washing her face in the bathroom.

He shielded her behind him, asking, "Young Miss, who is that madman?! Did he bully you?!"

"I've already called for help!"

Jinzhi, her face still covered in foam, was stunned for a moment. "W-what madman?"

"That tall, handsome guy by the door, no matter how handsome he is, he's still a lawless outlaw! Miss, you can't..."

Ye Yu stood with his arms crossed at the door, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I, this madman, am her husband in the legal sense."

"Ah, ah... No way, how did you get in?"

Jinzhi patted the maid's shoulder, rubbing the foam off her face, and said, "He really is my husband. You're overthinking it. Don't worry about how he got in. Relax."

"real?"

"Really, you go out first, I'll come downstairs after I wash my face."

The maid glanced at Ye Yu and said timidly, "You're not allowed to bully the young lady."

Then he ran away.

Soon, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and Jinzhi, who had finished washing up, went to open it.

A group of people were standing outside the door. The butler led guards with guns at the door, which startled Jinzhi.

"Young Miss! Where is that other man?!"

Ye Yu shielded Jinzhi behind him.

"My name is Ye Yu, and I'm her husband. Put those things away so as not to frighten her."

The butler had seen Ye Yu and ordered his weapons to be put away, but he still didn't give him a friendly look.

"Mr. Ye, this is trespassing!"

"Why don't you say that the Ji family kidnapped and detained someone in broad daylight? I'll be wherever my wife is."

Jinzhi took Ye Yu's arm and said, "Uncle, I know you're doing this for my own good. He really is my husband. I'll take him downstairs and talk to Lao Deng."

The butler and his entourage made way for them.

Jinzhi then led Ye Yu, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, downstairs in a high-profile manner.

His presence caused a stir among the servants.

"Is this really the young lady's husband? Putting everything else aside, they're a perfect match, both handsome and good-looking."

"No matter how good he is at fighting, it can't stop him from suddenly appearing in Miss's room. The master was already dissatisfied with Miss's adoptive parents' house, including her as her husband. It's too rude of him to break into a private residence. Only Miss can tolerate him."

"Miss was slapped and bullied last night. Given your situation, what's the point of worrying about being impolite?"

"Imagine a man suddenly appearing in front of you when you're at your lowest point, disregarding everything else. Wouldn't you be moved?"

"I'm more curious about how my brother-in-law managed to get past all the security guards at home. The security guards outside are all armed; how did he manage to break in in the middle of the night and sneak into my sister's bedroom on the third floor without anyone noticing!"

"My brother-in-law is a skilled fighter; he's no pushover!"

"That's true..."

"..."

Jinzhi openly and honestly took Ye Yu to the restaurant.

Ji Jinliang sat in the main seat, with Aze standing behind him.

Before he even got close, a teacup fell to the ground at Ye Yu's feet.

"You utterly rude lecher!"

Ji Jinliang said angrily.

He raised his hand, and several security guards dressed in black stepped forward and attacked Ye Yu.

Ye Yu dodged to the side, increasing the distance between himself and Jin Zhi.

Several security guards surrounded him, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly darted out.

The block, sidestep, and wrist snap were executed in one fluid motion. The force of the punch grazed the opponent's shoulder blade, and the power was precisely controlled, forcing back the people who were surrounding him in just a few moves.

The group continued their charge and attack, but Jinzhi grabbed a water glass and threw it, yelling, "Enough! Stop!"

"Mr. Ji, is this how the Ji family treats its guests? Do you think you can leave the Ji family home without getting slapped or punched a few times?"

"Ye Yu is my legally married husband and the father of my child. Don't go too far!"

When the fist came flying at him, Ye Yu glanced at her, but didn't dodge. The fist landed solidly on his left shoulder, and he hissed softly.

Jinzhi's heart tightened, and she clutched her lower abdomen, standing in front of Ye Yu as a shield. "One against many? Have you no shame?"

Ji Jinliang immediately ordered people to stop.

"All of you, get out!"

The security guards and servants left, and Jinzhi didn't even glance at Ji Jinliang before pulling Ye Yu out the door.

Ye Yu supported her waist and leaned against her.

"Wait, Chengyue, that was just a test of his skills. A pretty face isn't worthy of marrying you. Let's talk."

"Things have come to this point, why should I talk to you? Aren't you the most filial son? You didn't consider the cause and effect between your mother and wife, and chose your mother without hesitation. What's there for me to talk to you about?"

"She's over fifty, and she can't even figure out her own marriage problems or handle family matters properly. What right does she have to criticize my husband and our marriage?"

"I truly hate that I have the blood of the Ji family flowing in my veins, and I hate even more that my mother was blind to choose to marry you back then."

For a moment, Ji Jinliang tensed his back, gripped the wedding ring on his ring finger, shed his usual coldness, and lowered his voice slightly.

"This morning I sent a telegram severing my mother-son relationship with the old lady."

Jinzhi paused slightly, her gaze fixed on the spot.

After a long pause, he finally said, "What does this have to do with me? What's the use of apologizing afterward? My mother has been dead for decades."

Ji Jinliang's voice was hoarse. "Your mother's matter isn't entirely related to the old lady. Sit down and have some breakfast. We haven't had a proper meal together yet."

His tone shifted, "Besides, do you think you could even leave this door without my orders?"

Jinzhi's fist hardened again, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't confront him head-on, so she gently led Ye Yu to sit in the living room.

"He was beaten, so we called a doctor to treat his injuries."

Aze adjusted his glasses and spoke inappropriately, "Miss, I don't think Mr. Ye's injuries are serious... Is it possible that he did it on purpose?"

"After all, he managed to sneak into your room last night without anyone noticing, bypassing dozens of security personnel. The security personnel you hired, sir, have the lowest combat skills."

Ye Yu immediately leaned on her shoulder and hissed softly, "Wife, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

"If it's not serious, why shouldn't we call a doctor? He was exhausted last night, didn't eat, and then fought so many people. Could you have won that fight?"

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Are you going to complain or not? If not, don't delay our trip to see a doctor."

Ji Jinliang had seen through it all. He glanced at Ye Yu and said, "Call the doctor."

Ye Yu said softly, "There's no need to make such a fuss. Just have Zhizhi apply some medicine for me."

Ji Jinliang sneered, "We must invite him, lest Mr. Ye get into trouble on Ji's territory, and our Ji family cannot bear the blame."

Five minutes later, a doctor from the annex clinic was called in and examined Ye Yu's left shoulder injury.

"It's just a minor injury, no bones were broken, some medicine will do the trick."

"Thank you, doctor."

Jinzhi applied the medicine to Ye Yu, and the two moved to the restaurant. Ji Jinliang looked at Jinzhi's face.

"I've had someone buy some top-quality face cream; I'll have Aze give it to you later."

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk about other things."

Jinzhi kept putting food on Ye Yu's plate, then bread on his plate, which Ji Jinliang found hard to bear.

He has hands.

"What's it to you? I just like to put food on his plate, and thanks to you, he got hurt."

Ji Jinliang stopped talking and silently finished his breakfast.

Jinzhi began the conversation, "What exactly happened in my mother's kidnapping case back then?"

Ji Jinliang paused in wiping his hands.

"Let's ask another question."

"Why? Old Deng, don't break your promise..."

Before he could finish speaking, the butler came to report, "Sir, the young master has arrived..."

Ji Jinxiao bypassed the housekeeper and rushed in, shouting, "Ji Jinliang, you old scoundrel! You've already severed ties with the old lady, yet you're still hiding the child from me! Where's Jinzhi? Let me see my daughter!"
