My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

Le Bao, who was abandoned by her parents, was eventually taken away by her grandfather and her maternal grandparents who rushed over after hearing her cries.

Lu Chenyue, who thought he could enjoy some sweet time alone with his wife, never imagined how wrong his decision would be.

On her way back from an outing, Lin Zhixia received a phone call from her mother.

Given her previous failed blind date experience, her mother introduced her to another one and told her to meet him after work.

Lin's mother's tone was so firm that there was no room for argument. Every time she called, she would talk about who got married or who had a baby, and every sentence was an urging for Lin Zhixia to get married soon.

Her mother said that now when she walks down the street, neighbors she knows all ask her why her daughter isn't married yet and whether she has a boyfriend. It makes her embarrassed to meet her neighbors.

"Mom, I'm only 26 years old. I'm not at the point where I can't get married yet. Why are you in such a hurry for me to get married? Is it for my own good or for your own face? You always say it's for my own good, for my own sake, but have you ever thought about whether what you call 'for my own good' is what I really want?"

Am I supposed to just marry someone I don't love and then suffer for the rest of my life?

This was the loudest and harshest thing Lin Zhixia had ever said to her biological mother in all these years.

She felt that her mother seemed to be possessed, unable to find anything else to do, and focused all her time on her wedding.

She felt so tired; she had never felt this tired even when working at high intensity.

She's even developed a conditioned reflex now; when the phone rings, she instinctively becomes alert, wondering if it's her mother calling.

If she doesn't answer the phone, her mother will come to her apartment soon.

She had already moved out to avoid her mother's constant pressure to get married, but she still couldn't escape it.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixia went to a karaoke bar in a bad mood.

She needs to vent her anger, otherwise she'll suffocate.

She ordered a bunch of drinks and drank them all by herself, while singing and wailing in the private room.

After singing until she was tired, she sat down and drank some wine.

She scrolled through her phone's contacts, wanting to confide in someone or find someone to keep her company, but as she scrolled, apart from Shen Wanning, she couldn't find anyone she could truly confide in.

"Ha, Lin Zhixia, your life is truly tragic."

He made a self-deprecating joke and then continued drinking.

I accidentally pressed a button on my phone, and Shen Wanning's voice came from the other end.

"Xiaxia? Xiaxia, where are you? I can't hear you."

Lin Zhixia didn't even notice that her phone had dialed Shen Wanning's number.

She rang the bell for the private room, and the waiter pushed the door open and came in.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Zhixia was generous with her drinks, ordering not only the cheapest beer, but also red wine, cocktails, and champagne—she ordered a lot at once.

KTVs pay extra attention to such big clients.

"Find me a few of your top-tier escorts; price is no problem."

Lin Zhixia took out her bank card and slammed it on the table.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Wanning seemed to sense something was wrong and kept calling out to Lin Zhixia.

"Ma'am, your phone seems to be busy."

The waiter could vaguely hear the voice on the other end of Lin Zhixia's phone.

"Phone? Where's my phone? Where's my phone?"

She staggered as she searched everywhere for her phone.

The waiter took her phone out from under the sofa and handed it to her.

"Hello, who is it?"

She dazedly put the phone to her ear, feeling as if the room was spinning.

"Ningning, hehe, where am I? I'm singing. Hehehe, where am I singing? Where is this?"

Lin Zhixia squinted and looked up at the waiter standing in front of her.

"This is the Crown."

"Oh, did you hear that, Ningning? It's called Crown. Do you want to come? I'll order you some super handsome male models. It's my treat, hehehe."

After hanging up the phone, it slipped from my hand and fell to the ground.

"Ma'am, would you like to continue with your top-choice escort?"

The waiter was worried she might not want it, so he specifically reminded her.

"Sure, of course I want him! I want the most handsome one!"

Unbeknownst to Lin Zhixia, who was drunk and acting crazy, a phone call she accidentally made ruined the date that Lu Chenyue had carefully prepared for the two of them.

At this moment, in a Western restaurant.

Red wine, roses, steak, music—the atmosphere couldn't be better.

But this pleasant atmosphere was disrupted by a drunk woman.

"Baby, are you going to see her? I've been preparing for this for so long."

Lu Chenyue was somewhat unwilling. In his wife's mind, her best friend had called her away with just one phone call.

"Sweetie, we'll meet up again next time. Xiaxia must have encountered something, otherwise she wouldn't be like this."

She knew her best friend well; she kept many things to herself, didn't want to bother others, and was used to dealing with everything on her own.

Judging from her appearance today, she must have drunk quite a bit. If she weren't feeling really unwell, she wouldn't have gone out to drown her sorrows alone.

As she spoke, Shen Wanning stood up, grabbed her clothes and bag, and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I'll take you there."

No matter how unhappy Lu Chenyue was, he couldn't stop his wife's decision.

"Hey, Yue-ge, let's go out for a drink. Feng Yan and Feng Lin are both here."

During the journey, Lu Chenyue received a call from Xiao Nanfeng.

"No... drinking is fine, but let's go somewhere else, like the Crown."

He initially wanted to decline, but then he thought, "Drinking doesn't matter where you are, so inviting them over would be a good way to keep my wife company."

He hadn't missed Lin Zhixia mentioning that she wanted to hire male models for her wife.

Although he trusted Shen Wanning, he couldn't stop some troublemakers from coveting his wife.

Xiao Nanfeng and the others looked at the disconnected phone with a puzzled expression:

"What do you mean? Brother Yue set up a trap over there?"

That shouldn't be the case; he wouldn't organize a gathering without inviting them.

Besides, Lu Chenyue goes home as soon as he gets off work now, so it's hard to call him out.

"You'll find out when you get there."

Although the three were puzzled, they still drove there.

The car hadn't even come to a complete stop when Shen Wanning hurriedly got out.

Lin Zhixia didn't tell her the room number, so she could only look through the transparent windows on the doors of each room.

After searching through more than a dozen rooms, she finally found Lin Zhixia singing and dancing in a private room, though she couldn't tell what she was singing.

"Xiaxia".

She rushed forward to help her.

"Hehehe, Ningning, you're here."

Lin Zhixia leaned against Shen Wanning, reeking of alcohol. The table was already littered with empty bottles—red, white, beer, you name it.

No wonder he was so drunk; he was mixing drinks.

Shen Wanning helped her sit down on the sofa and took out her phone to order some hangover soup for her.

Lu Chenyue stood at the door, holding his phone and sending Xiao Nanfeng the room number.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, you're here too! Welcome, welcome! Would you like to sing?"

Lin Zhixia saw Lu Chenyue standing at the door, completely unaware of his dark, watery face.

"No need, thank you."

He pronounces words very heavily.

Watching his wife take such good care of the drunkard, Lu Chenyue felt a pang of unease.

Even if that person is a woman, even if she is his wife's best friend, he still doesn't like her taking over his wife.

When Xiao Nanfeng and his two companions arrived, they happened to run into the male model that Lin Zhixia had ordered entering the room.

"Holy crap, Yue-ge, what's going on?"

Upon seeing Xiao Nanfeng, Lu Chenyue remembered something: this kid seemed to have something going on with the drunkard inside.

"Go in and take care of her."

"Who is worthy of my attention?"

However, after he casually walked in and saw the drunkard, I took back what I had just said.
