Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

Bai Qianqian cried for a while, then calmed herself down and said, "Mom~ Brother Ye Ting is already married."

"Silly child, once you've cried it out, just forget about it. How can the road to adulthood be smooth sailing all the way? The person you like may not like you back, but Mom believes that one day you will find someone you like who also likes you. Fate has everything arranged; there is no happiness in forcing things." Hu Fang gently stroked her head to comfort her.

Bai Qianqian nodded obediently, still very sad. "Mom, give me some time."

"Okay, take your time to digest it, it's not a big deal." Hu Fang knew that it wasn't realistic to expect her to forget everything after a good night's sleep. Time heals all wounds.

The next day.

Mo Yeting threw himself back into his work. He just wanted to finish things quickly and go home; he missed his wife terribly.

Kyoto, Seitoku Academy.

Gu Zhihua started spacing out early in the morning.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mo Yiqing noticed her staring blankly at one spot. "Did your uncle not let you sleep again last night?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your uncle is away on a business trip to Lincheng," Gu Zhihua said.

"So, you're spacing out because you're thinking about him?" Mo Yiqing said with a grin.

"By the way, do you know who your uncle's benefactor is?" Gu Zhihua suddenly asked, as if something had just occurred to her.

"Yes, I know. Every year during the Lunar New Year, my uncle goes to pay his respects in person," Mo Yiqing answered honestly.

"Then... do you know about his daughter?" Gu Zhihua wasn't distrustful of her husband, she was just curious.

"I know, his daughter is also a good friend of mine. It's a pity she's not in good health. She wants to come to Kyoto to study, but her parents are unwilling." Mo Yiqing's eyes flashed with heartache when she mentioned Bai Qianqian.

Just then, Mo Yiqing's WeChat notification sounded. She opened it and saw, "You can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night. She sent me a message."

Gu Zhihua came to her senses, and Mo Yiqing smiled happily and said, "Qianqian said she would come to Kyoto in a few days to attend my birthday party."

Gu Zhihua was also very curious about what kind of girl she was. She heard her voice on the phone last night, and it sounded well-behaved. She hoped she wasn't some kind of manipulative woman.

She had a sixth sense that she liked Mo Yeting.

"Zhihua, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem so strange when you mention Qianqian?" Mo Yiqing seemed to sense something.

"No, it's nothing. Your birthday is in a few days. Have you thought about how you're going to celebrate?" Gu Zhihua changed the subject.

"It should be held at the villa, just like in previous years." Mo Yiqing didn't pay much attention to these things, feeling that it was pretty much the same every year.

"What are you two chatting about that's so fun?" Su Xintian asked as she returned from the bathroom.

"By the way, it's my birthday in a few days. I'd like to invite you to come. Please tell Xiao Lan to come too." Mo Yiqing doesn't have many close friends; the rest are relatives, all of whom are snobbish and she doesn't like them.

"Okay, we will definitely participate." Su Xintian nodded.

night.

Su Xintian returned to her rented apartment; Xiao Lan was home, which was unusual for her tonight.

"You're back? Let's go out for dinner together?" Xiao Lan said.

"Is it really necessary? There are still vegetables in the refrigerator..."

"Sweetheart, it's my treat, let's go." Xiao Lan pulled her outside.

"That's not what I meant. You earn money with difficulty, and eating out is too expensive," Su Xintian said as she was being pulled outside.

"It's okay, it's just once in a while. Order whatever you want to eat later," Xiao Lan said generously. She had recently made quite a bit of money from Liang Tao.

"Xiao Lan, did you have a fight with your boyfriend?" Su Xintian asked curiously. She usually comes home around 8 or 9 pm, sometimes even later.

"We didn't argue. He has a social engagement tonight," Xiao Lan said.

"You need to be careful. Yi Qing said he's a womanizer," Su Xintian kindly reminded her.

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry, I'm confident, I'll be his last woman." Xiao Lan thought to herself, she's young and beautiful, and she knows everything about sex. He loves her too much to ask.

Hearing this, Su Xintian didn't continue the topic and changed the subject, "By the way, it's Yiqing's birthday in a few days, and she invited us to attend."

"Really? This is my first time attending a rich person's birthday party. Will there be a lot of socialites and wealthy young men?" A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes.

"I've never participated either, so I don't know." Su Xintian didn't care about these things.

"Rich people wear evening gowns to their birthday parties. I've seen it like that on TV, but those gowns are so expensive." Although Xiao Lan has some money recently, a good evening gown can cost over ten thousand yuan.

"Actually, we don't need to wear these, right? We can just wear our own clothes to participate," Su Xintian said nonchalantly.

"You don't understand, everyone's wearing nice dresses, and you're wearing jeans and a t-shirt, won't you be laughed at? Yiqing won't be able to save face either," Xiao Lan's eyes darted around, "Last time I saw Zhihua with a whole bunch of dresses, how about..."

"Forget it, let's not even think about it. If it doesn't work out, we won't go." Su Xintian hates troubling others, and if the banquet really is like this, she doesn't want to attend.

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at her, "Such a good opportunity, I have to participate."

She thought to herself, this is called "riding a donkey while looking for a horse". Liang Tao is good, but what if there is someone better?

Liang Tao gives himself 20,000 to 30,000 yuan at a time, which, to be honest, isn't even enough to buy a set of luxury brand clothes, unlike Gu Zhihua, whose entire walk-in closet is filled with such clothes.

If she could meet someone better than Liang Tao, why would she compromise herself?

"Let's eat here." Su Xintian felt that she couldn't connect with her anymore, so she stopped talking about the topic.

"Okay." Xiao Lan had made up her mind.

After dinner, the two returned home at nine o'clock. Su Xintian took a shower and went to bed.

Xiao Lan sent a WeChat message to Liang Tao, but he didn't reply all night. She started to have wild thoughts, wondering if he really was going on a date with some woman behind her back.

After thinking it over, she decided to make a phone call to test the waters.

She dialed the number, but no one answered for a long time.

On the other side, Liang Tao lost all night. His phone vibrated in his pocket, and he irritably turned it off.

When Xiao Lan called back, the phone was switched off. She frowned. Liang Tao would never do this. Could it be that he really has another woman?

Therefore, men are still unreliable, and she must attend Mo Yiqing's banquet.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Zhihua: "Zhihua, I heard Yiqing invited me to her birthday party."

After taking a shower, Gu Zhihua was scrolling through videos on her phone when a WeChat notification popped up. She clicked on it and saw it was from Xiao Lan. She replied: "Yes, I'm inviting you and Xintian to come along."
