Su Yanbin responded immediately, “But I don’t like eating duck’s blood!”
Zhuang Nainai and Lin Xi’er said in unison, “You can leave!”
Su Yanbin was astonished.
Perhaps because of the fact that she had not slept the previous day, Zhuang Nainai had eaten lunch and napped in the afternoon. It was only after waking up from the nap that she felt fully refreshed and recharged.
Zhuang Nainai and Lin Xi’er intended to finish up the steamboat that they hadn’t managed to finish in the afternoon.
Su Yanbin said, “I wasn’t even full from lunch. Why must I eat disgusting duck’s blood in the evening?”
Zhuang Nainai and Lin Xi’er ignored his complaints completely.
The sky darkened gradually as night began to fall.
The little house of not more than 10 square meters was now warmly lit by a yellow light, with the three people huddled around a table. Smoke emanated from the hotpot, and sounds of laughter rose with the smoke.
Nearby...
A black car was parked inconspicuously.
Si Zhengting looked through the car window. All of Beijing city’s lights together were no match for the small light in front of him.
His face grew darker, and his expression grew more dejected as he heard the laughter and sounds of joy.
The one in the house was his wife, but why was he now feeling incomparably lonely?
So they had eaten steamboat in the afternoon.
He cast his mind back to the takeaway food he had in the afternoon, food he had been unable to stomach.
Si Zhengting lowered his gaze.
The words she had said the day before hovered in his ears.
She had said, “Si Zhengting, I don’t want to be with you anymore...”
She had said, “This is your home, so the one who should leave is me!”
Her resolute figure had panicked him.
But now, her joy and laughter were making him feel as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.
It was just like how they were when they had broken up five years ago. She had seemed so unaffected; he, on the other hand, had been so entrenched in their relationship he was unable to walk away from it.
As he thought of this, he then thought of what Su Yanbin had told him. She was about to leave the country to look for her mother...
Was she going to leave him just like that, again?
Si Zhengting’s fists suddenly began tightening.
“Ha ha ha!”
In the house, Su Yanbin’s jokes were making Zhuang Nainai and Lin Xi’er laugh heartily.
Even though the three voices overlapped each other, he still managed to distinguish Zhuang Nainai’s voice from the others.
Maybe out of happiness, or possibly because of something Su Yanbin had just done, she was now shouting in frustration, “Su Yanbin!!!”
Si Zhengting looked longingly. All of a sudden, the name of “Su Yanbin” made him feel unhappy.
Lowering his head, he made a call to Ji Chen.
He was never going to admit that he was jealous.

After Su Yanbin had left, Zhuang Nainai grabbed Lin Xi’er and told her what she felt was strange about Li Yufeng.
Lin Xi’er scratched her head. “Why does it sound rather scary to me? What are you going to do now, Nainai? If Li Yufeng could sacrifice her own daughter to protect that person, she definitely won’t tell you anything even if you were to confront her.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “That’s what I think too, and I’ll just be alarming the enemy by going to question her. So, I’ve thought of a method.”
“What method?” Lin Xi’er was curious.
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes. However, just as she was about to speak, her cell phone rang.
Picking up the cell phone, she was stunned for a moment. The caller was Executive Assistant Ji.
