"His stomach wasn't good to begin with, how could he drink like this? What if his stomach hurts?" Liu Jing watched his figure, muttering worriedly as she usually did.

It turned out that all along, she had never let go of this man in her heart.

She thought about it for a moment, then got up and went out to buy some things. She then handed the bag to the waiter and asked him to deliver it to Ruan Qingchen in half an hour. Then she turned and left.

When Ruan Qingchen had drunk too much and his stomach started to ache, a pile of medicine suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Quiet!" He abruptly lifted his head, which had been bowed, and found himself looking at the waiter who had just mixed his drink.

He drooped his eyes in disappointment.

He still thought it was…

"How do you know I have a stomachache? Why are you giving me medicine for it? Who gave it to you?" He stared at the waiter without blinking, firing question after question.

"This was prepared for our guest here, not a gift from someone else. Sir, please let go of me, I still have several cocktails to make." The waiter said with a face full of difficulty.

Ruan Qingchen gritted her teeth, stopping herself from letting out a roar of anger.

Why is she hiding from him? Why can't she just meet him? She knows he has a stomach ache, she could give him medicine. Doesn't that mean she still cares about him? If she still loves him, don't walk away!

"How long has she been gone?" Ruan Qingchen stared intently at the waiter and said.

"About half an hour." As soon as the words left his mouth, the waiter realized he had slipped up. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sir, I didn't mean to deceive you, it was that girl who told me to lie to you!"

Does this person have eagle eyes? How did they see through his lie at once!

Ruan Qingchen let go of the waiter's hand and lowered his head to look at the medicine box in his hand.

He had been to this bar over ten times. Which time did he take antacids? And it was brand new, just bought, the waiter looked guilty as sin, Ruan Qingchen saw through his lie at a glance.

But, it's already been half an hour...

It seems like he really doesn't want to meet...

Ruan Qingchen couldn't tell if he was happier or more pained, but after paying for the medicine box in his hand, he walked away. He didn't drink anymore, instead turning left into a restaurant.

Liu Jing stood at the corner, watching the man's somewhat steady gait, her eyes instantly reddened.

Foolish, I'm not worthy of your treatment. Live well and forget about me; you deserve a better girl.

Then, she turned and walked back the way she came.

completely contrary to the direction of men...

"Are you really going to give these to Qiangxiong? I don't think he'll let them go so easily." An Xiaonuan asked Ye Mingjue as soon as she got home.

"My wife is so smart, she could tell this," Ye Mingjue said as he pinched An Xiaonuan's cheek.

Three children were messing around in the room, and JXuan was with them, watching over them. So now, there were only two people left in the living room.

An Xiaonuan also couldn't care about her previous questions anymore. She shook off Ye Mingjue's hand and said huffily, "You make it sound like I was stupid before! I don't want to hear what you have to say, humph!"

"No, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that my wife is getting smarter and smarter. Don't be angry, baby." Ye Mingjue saw the frown on An Xiaonuan's face turn into anger. He soothed her a few words, then began to explain the reason.

This matter, Nuan Nuan will know sooner or later, telling her now doesn't make much difference.

But when An Xiaonuan heard his plan, she gripped Ye Mingjue's hand tighter and tighter.

"No, I disagree!" An Xiaonuan looked into Ye Mingjue's eyes and said seriously.

"Nuan Nuan, this is the only way now." Ye Mingjue looked at An Xiaonuan's resistance and said.

"No, this isn't the only way, there must be other options. I disagree, I disagree! If you dare to do such a thing... I would..." He didn't get to finish his threat before Ye Mingjue leaned down and kissed him.

He held his wife's soft waist in one hand and gently stroked her head with the other.

"Nuan Nuan, I promise, I'll return safely. Trust me."

He still has such a treasure waiting for him at home, how could he not risk his life.

But An Xiaonuan couldn't speak, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Ye Mingjue looked at his wife with a wronged face, wiping away her tears with heartache, but his mouth remained stubbornly shut.

He is a husband, a father, a son, a son-in-law. Each role compels him to act this way.

He couldn't say the words to change his mind.

An Xiaonuan knew this, but she felt sorry for him and didn't want the man to go into danger.

They had weathered so many hardships and years together, long ago regarding each other as precious as life itself.

She couldn't imagine what she would do if something happened to this man...

Amidst those soft sobs, a phone rang.

"Is there a result yet?" Ye Mingjue asked.

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Ye Mingjue's eyes showed a look that confirmed his suspicions, and then he said, "Then execute Plan B."

Then he hung up the phone.

Hearing the man's commands, An Xiaonuan's cries grew louder.

The sound of sobbing drew several people out of their rooms.

Their door wasn't closed tightly, so the noise was naturally audible. They just thought the crying person was some unruly child.

They were still curious about the child in the villa. As soon as they stepped out, they saw An Xiaonuan sitting on the sofa crying.

Yè Zǐ Yù and Yè Zǐ Ruì quickly ran downstairs and sat between Yè Míng Jué and An Xiǎo Nuǎn, asking, "Mom, what's wrong? Did Dad bully you?"

After Ye Ziyu finished speaking, Ye Ziru also spoke up: "Mom, you said who bullied you, we will protect you!"

After the two children finished speaking, they both looked at Ye Mingjue together.

There was a clear reproach in her eyes.

But unexpectedly, both of their heads were knocked by An Xiaonuan who was crying.

“He’s your dad, you can’t be so mean to him. You have to respect him, okay?” An Xiaonuan scolded the two children with tears in her eyes and a choked voice.

Why on earth are we eating this dog food?

Although An Xiaonuan is angry with Ye Mingjue, she feels more sorry for him. Hearing her two sons speak to him like that, she naturally wants to defend him.

That night, Ziyu and Ziru asked her why she was crying. She still made up a lie for Ye Mingjue.

“Because he kicked me when I was going home today.” An Xiaonuan said while wiping her tears.

Jin Xuan immediately saw through An Xiaonuan's perfunctory response, but the three children believed it.

"Mom, you really are..." Ye Ziyu looked at his delicate mother with an expression of speechless dismay.

Ye Zi Rui's expression was similar to Ye Zi Yu's, but his gaze towards his father held a touch more reproach.

Knowing that Mom is frail, how could you step on Mom's feet? What a bad father!
