It was already early morning in the nightclub. Lin Jingran and Shen Jingxuan had just seen Ni Yu off and returned to the booth - only to see Jiang Kaicheng hang up the phone with an impatient look on his face.

"Your wife?" Shen Jingxuan saw at a glance.

"You'd better go back earlier." Lin Jingran also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then looked at him again, "You are different now——"

"What's uncertain?" Jiang Kaicheng interrupted him, very dissatisfied. "If I had known that getting married would mean losing my freedom, I wouldn't have gotten married."

The other two smiled at each other, and Shen Jingxuan suddenly moved to his side and hugged his shoulders: "Okay, okay, for the sake of the child."

"I am doing this for the sake of the child," Jiang Kaicheng frowned and spoke word by word, "otherwise I would have already -"

"Hey, hey, hey," Shen Jingxuan interrupted him again and reminded him, "Some words can't be said. They hurt people's feelings. She is just keeping an eye on you."

"I can understand her actions," Lin Jingran also stared at him, "If I were married, I would go home now, too."

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Kaicheng interrupted him, "You don't have Xiaoci at home."

Lin Jingran was unhappy again when he heard this, and frowned quickly: "What does it have to do with Guan Xiaoci?"

"One of your female companions," Jiang Kaicheng still stared at him, "one you don't like and don't plan to develop a long-term relationship with."

"Then I won't marry her."

"She's pregnant then,"

"I won't let her get pregnant."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and the atmosphere was getting heated. Shen Jingxuan quickly spoke again.

"I have to refute what you said," he still put his hand on his shoulder and said gently, "No matter who she is, if you choose to marry her, you must treat her well."

"Yes," Lin Jingran calmed down a bit, "You wanted to get married, and no one pointed a gun at you."

——Having said this, Shen Jingxuan suddenly winked at him and shook his head, signaling him not to say any more. Lin Jingran was not very happy but still shut up obediently.

Jiang Kaicheng's face was gloomy as expected. He quickly drank another glass and said, "She is not as simple as you think."

"It's too late." Lin Jingran still looked at him, ignoring what he said, and suddenly stood up, "Let's go, I'll have someone take you back."

At this time, a straight-haired girl came over and sat down next to Jiang Kaicheng naturally: "Boss Jiang, you have to give us a discount——"

She is a frequent visitor here and also an internet celebrity. Everyone calls her Lily. Lin Jingran and Shen Jingxuan also recognize her.

"There are a lot of friends here today," she glanced at Shen Jingxuan and Lin Jingran again, and then naturally put her hand on Jiang Kaicheng's shoulder, looking at Lin Jingran and said, "Do you want to play together? They all want to meet you, Master Lin."

"No," he just shook his head, walked up to Jiang Kaicheng, looked at him and said, "I have to send him back--"

Suddenly, Zhao Yundan rushed in angrily.

Lin Jingran and Shen Jingxuan almost tried to pull her back at the same time. Jiang Kaicheng was so scared that he quickly stood up. Her slap still landed on his face. Then he heard her asking in a sobbing voice, "Who is she?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Kaicheng sat down heavily with a gloomy face - he was slapped in the face and was also angry.

Lily had already stood up out of fear: "I'm a guest," she explained hastily and randomly, "I just know Boss Jiang, don't get me wrong,"

Zhao Yundan ignored her and just stared at Jiang Kaicheng, tears welling up in her eyes. Lin Jingran quickly exchanged a glance with Shen Jingxuan - they were also trying to think of a solution.

"I'm sorry," Lily took out a tissue and stuffed it into her hand, "I'm here to ask the boss to give us a discount, don't get me wrong,"

"It's none of your business." Zhao Yundan suddenly turned his head and looked at her, expressionless.

"You go and do your work first," Lin Jingran also glanced at her and helped her out.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Lily looked back at Jiang Kaicheng again, then quickly left.

"Let's go back--" Lin Jingran coughed, and then glanced at Zhao Yundan unconsciously. She was still in a stalemate--her face was pale, and her dark circles were very heavy. Unlike before, she didn't put on any makeup tonight, and her lips were a little pale. She looked very haggard.

"Yes, let's go," Shen Jingxuan also said, smiling awkwardly, "We were just about to leave."

"You go first," Jiang Kaicheng suddenly looked at them and said softly, and then continued to stalemate with Zhao Yundan.

But none of them left.

"Yundan," Lin Jingran coughed lightly, trying to persuade, "Let's talk about it when we get back. We are all here, and Kaicheng really didn't do anything."

Zhao Yundan suddenly turned her head and stared at him, her eyes red. She asked in a tearful voice, "Are you guys together 24 hours a day?"

Then he started to accuse, "Do you know how much time he spends at home every day?"

Lin Jingran was stumped by the question and didn't know what to say for a moment. Jiang Kaicheng stood up again and said, "Let's go back." He also looked at Zhao Yundan, "Don't make trouble here anymore."

"Does it take me to go back?" She started to cry again.

"Let's go back," Jiang Kaicheng patted her shoulder, "Let's go."

“Have you ever taken care of a child?” she started to yell again, and suddenly looked at Lin Jingran, tears streaming down her face. “Since Xiaobao was born, he has never taken care of him. He even finds it troublesome to hold him, and he only knows how to play with you guys——”

"There are so many aunts here," Jiang Kaicheng didn't understand, "Why do you have to do everything yourself? Aren't you tired?"

"Auntie is auntie," Zhao Yundan was very upset, "Mom and Dad are Mom and Dad, do you look like a dad?"

The atmosphere froze again, and Lin Jingran suddenly sighed helplessly -

"Go back and tell her," Jiang Kaicheng stared at her expressionlessly, and finally began to get impatient, asking word by word, "OK, no, OK?"

Zhao Yundan stopped talking, turned around and walked forward quickly. Jiang Kaicheng followed, and Lin Jingran and Shen Jingxuan also followed.

The farce ended here, but the rift between the two men deepened.

Midnight in Paris

Lin Yingci was still asleep when she received Wei Jin's call——

"Come back quickly, grandma fell down——"

"What?" She immediately took off her blindfold and sat up straight, fully awake. "What did you say, Wei Jin?"

An Yishang also lay down -

"I fell in the bathroom," she said anxiously, but seemed to be hesitant to speak. "I thought it was okay, but, but——"

"But what?" She began to get anxious, her heartbeat speeding up inexplicably. The atmosphere in the room was so quiet that only her increasingly violent heartbeat could be heard. "Is it serious?" She asked cautiously, "How is it now?"

"In the ICU."

"I'll book a flight right away."
