After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

"Ailing, don't drink so much." Zhou Zean took her wine bottle and placed it on the table.

"I'm fine. It's rare for me to come out, so a little drink is no problem." Jian Ailing casually wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and grinned at him.

Before Zhou Ze'an could speak, she turned her gaze to Jian Sen, "Don't drink yet. Make a wish and cut the cake first! I want some even if you don't eat any; I've been craving it for ages since I ordered it yesterday!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to normal, Jensen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know, I know, you won't be shortchanged!" Jensen lit a candle, then put his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to make a wish.

"I've been waiting for you here for an hour, why aren't you coming over yet?" Their table fell silent, and Jane suddenly heard the voices from the next table behind her.

It was a girl speaking; her voice was somewhat hoarse, as if she were faintly crying.

"What do you take me for? Do you even consider me your girlfriend?... It's always the same; you only think of me when you're lonely. I'm not even as good as your cat! At least you care if it eats every day..."

The girl's voice grew increasingly agitated.

Jane Ailing secretly clenched her skirt with her hand under the table.

"Ailing, are you alright?" Zhou Ze'an's voice rang out. "You don't look too good."

"Really?" Jane Ailing forced a smile. "I was lost in thought for a moment."

"Alright, I've made my wish." Jason opened his eyes, picked up a knife, and cut the cake into four pieces. The cake wasn't very big; he kept one for himself and gave the other two to Jane Ailing and Zhou Ze'an.

"Then I'll start eating." Jane immediately picked up her spoon and lowered her head to eat the cake.

Hearing what that girl said, those emotions she had briefly forgotten began to surge back.

Even the sweet cake tasted bland in my mouth.

"There's still one extra piece left, why didn't you try to take it from me today?" Jason teased.

"You can have this. I'd rather drink." Jane put down her spoon, picked up the bottle, and gulped down the liquor.

"Hey... what are you doing?" Jason could also tell that something was wrong with her.

"Okay, stop drinking for now." After Jian Ailing put down the beer bottle, Zhou Ze'an took her bottle and placed it on his other side so that she couldn't easily reach it.

But the bottle of beer was already more than half empty.

"Wait...didn't my brother just say one bottle each? I haven't finished mine yet!" Jian Ailing hiccuped, her face already flushed.

"Alright, Zhou Ze'an and I have only had a little bit, you should finish the whole bottle!"

Jane Ailing gave a slightly reluctant "Oh," and said, "Then we'll drink together whenever you want."

"I'd love to get completely drunk here," Jason shrugged. "But I have plans to go to a bar with my classmates later."

"What?... You're still heartbroken?" Jane Ailing rolled her eyes, looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment. When she went home last time, she seemed to have heard that Jane had broken up with his girlfriend.

"It seems you don't know about what happened to your brother, do you?"

"Huh? What happened to my brother?" Jian Ailing looked at Zhou Ze'an blankly, then at Jian Sen. "What are you hiding from me now?"

Seeing that his younger sister's expression had turned sour, Jensen stammered, "Jen Ailing, you might be getting a sister-in-law soon."

sister in law……

Jane Ailing had just drunk a large gulp of wine and was feeling a bit dizzy. It took her a while to process what he had said.

"Jensen, are you getting married?"

As I recall, the last time I went home, he mentioned that his parents were forcing him to go on blind dates.

"Hmm... barring any unforeseen circumstances, right?" Jason frowned, picked up the bottle in front of him, and took a sip.

"Why so fast? Who is it?" Jane Ailing looked at Jane Sen in confusion, and when he didn't answer, she looked at Zhou Ze'an.

"Let him tell you the details himself. All I know is that they met through a blind date."

"It's just a marriage alliance, you should know more about it than I do." Jensen smiled wryly. "Her name is Han Jia. Her family has business dealings with Chaoyuan and is one of our partners."

"Oh..." Jane lowered her eyes, unsure whether she should congratulate him.

Marriage is supposed to be a joyous occasion, but Jason clearly didn't seem very happy.

When Jane Ailing found out that Jane was going on a blind date, she was actually a little smug.

Although he wasn't the mastermind behind that incident, Jensen was still an insider and a beneficiary. Jane couldn't forgive him completely without any resentment.

But now that she heard him actually say it, and with such a forced expression and tone, Jane found that she really couldn't be happy.

She could understand how he was feeling.

"Jane Ailing..." Jason took another sip of his drink, "You've been married for so long. Tell me the truth... are you happy now?"

happiness……

Jane couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She looked at Jensen and shook her head firmly. "I don't want to lie to you."

"But...maybe this is my problem, and you might not think the same way."

After Jane finished speaking, she reached for her own bottle of beer.

"Ailing, stop drinking." Zhou Ze'an's voice was a little harsher.

"What's wrong with me having a drink?" Seeing that Zhou Ze'an wouldn't give her any, she grabbed another new bottle of beer, tilted her head back, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. "Anyway, I'm with you guys, you can't just sell me off, can you?"

"Hey, drink up, I'll drink with you!" Jason seemed to be in a bad mood as well, and directly raised his bottle to clink with hers.

When are you getting married?

"We're choosing a date, probably in two or three months."

"So fast?"

"Whatever," Jason said defiantly.

"...Alright, just let me know when you've set a date, and I'll give you a big gift in return!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jane regretted it.

No, she still needs to save money; where would she get so much money to give him a big gift?

"Tch, you're just laughing at me, aren't you?" Jason shook his head and raised the bottle again.

Before they knew it, the brother and sister were chatting away, and soon there were several empty wine bottles on the table.

Zhou Ze'an watched the two silently, no longer stopping them, but also not drinking with them.

"Brother Ze'an, why aren't you drinking?" Jian Ailing's face had turned bright red.

"What if I get drunk too, and someone else sells you out?"

Jane Ailing forced a silly grin. "Jane, look, Ze'an is so much more reliable than you... Who's really my brother anyway?"

"Okay, okay, your brother Ze'an is the most reliable." Jason answered a phone call, then looked at his watch. "It's almost time, I have an appointment with my classmate."

However, his alcohol tolerance was better than Jane Ailing's. Although he had also drunk some, he remained generally sober.

"Ze'an, could you please take care of Jian Ailing for me? I have to go."
