The four brothers, who had been suffering from insomnia at night, unusually gathered together during the day.

The reason is that Xiao Nanfeng thought about it for most of the night and came up with several plans that he thought were feasible.

So he woke up the other three early in the morning and called them to the club.

Having not slept all night, Xiao Nanfeng, sporting panda eyes, excitedly showed his plan to the three of them.

Lu Chen suppressed his anger, not even raising his eyes, and called him an idiot before drinking the freshly brewed hot tea.

Despite his setback here, Xiao Nanfeng was not discouraged. He believed that someone would eventually understand his plan.

Feng Yan glanced at it briefly, then silently looked away.

Finally, under pressure, Feng Lin carefully reviewed the plan:

"Brother Feng, you didn't just copy this from the internet, did you?"

Only he would think of such a cliché way of pursuing someone—to copy someone else's methods.

Xiao Nanfeng, caught red-handed in a second, awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"I don't have much experience, so I thought I'd look for inspiration online. This is the best solution I've chosen after spending an entire night on it."

Feng Lin didn't know what to say after hearing this.

"Hey, are you guys still brothers? When I succeed, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."

Seeing that none of them were saying a word, Xiao Nanfeng was still making a last-ditch effort.

He looked at his plan, which filled two pages of A4 paper, and thought it was pretty good.

Lu Chenyue stood up and glared at him:

"Don't say you know me when you go out."

Then go.

He didn't want to say a word to this idiot.

"And don't say you know me."

Feng Yan also left after uttering a single sentence.

"Um, Feng-ge, I think you'd better ask Wan-ning's wife about Zhi-xia. I'm leaving now, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep."

After making his final statement, Feng Lin quickly left.

He was afraid that if he went any later, Xiao Nanfeng would grab him and start discussing things again.

---

Lin Zhixia, still hungover, slept soundly until dawn. She covered her head, which felt like it was about to explode, and pounded it hard.

She seemed to be drunk last night; she even ordered male models.

Wait, male model?

Lin Zhixia was startled and looked at her pajamas.

Oh no, we're doomed. We went too far last night.

She thought she had taken a male model home while drunk.

"You're awake? Come and eat."

Shen Wanning's voice sounded like heavenly music to her ears.

"Ningning? You were the one who brought me home last night?"

Say yes, say yes!

She awaited her answer.

Although she talks a big game and says she's fun, she's actually a total coward when it comes to those kinds of situations.

"Otherwise, who would take care of a drunkard like you all night?"

Shen Wanning ladled out the white porridge and placed it on the table.

"I knew it, my daughter loves me the most."

Lin Zhixia exclaimed and ran over to hug Shen Wanning.

"Alright, hurry up and wash up, then come over for dinner."

When Lin Zhixia came out after washing up, Shen Wanning was on the phone with Lu Chenyue.

She pointed to the breakfast on the table, indicating that she should eat first. She then went to answer the phone.

"Baby, you have no idea, I didn't sleep well at all last night. I couldn't sleep without you."

Lu Chenyue recounted his ordeal from the previous night, subtly implying that Shen Wanning should return soon to make it up to him.

"Where's Le Bao? Isn't she here? You should be able to fall asleep with her here, right?"

Even without her as a big heater, there's still Le Bao, my little darling. Surely I wouldn't have trouble sleeping all night.

When Le Bao was mentioned, Lu Chenyue awkwardly touched his nose. He hadn't told Shen Wanning about Le Bao running away from home last night.

"What's wrong with Le Bao? Haven't you two made up yet?"

All she knew was that when the man called last night, he said he had upset the little one again, and she assumed the father and daughter had made up.

Judging from the man's reaction today, she knew that the father and daughter definitely didn't share a bed last night.

"Yes, Le Bao ran away from home last night."

"What? She ran away from home? Where did she go?"

Shen Wanning's voice suddenly rose, startling Lin Zhixia, who was drinking porridge.

"Don't worry, honey. She just went to her parents' house next door and slept with them tonight."

Lu Chenyue, fearing his wife would worry, quickly explained that it was just next door.

Shen Wanning found it amusing; this little one had even run away from home—she'd really grown up!

The couple chatted for a while before Lu Chenyue reluctantly hung up the phone.

"What's wrong? Who ran away from home?"

Lin Zhixia strained her ears and listened for a moment.

"Who else could it be but your lawless goddaughter?"

Shen Wanning sat down and began to eat breakfast.

It's true, she was only gone for one night, and the father and daughter caused her all this trouble.

"Who? Le Bao ran away from home? Hahaha, really? What made her think of running away from home? Hahaha."

Upon hearing that Le Bao had run away from home, Lin Zhixia almost choked on her porridge.

It's hilarious that her tiny goddaughter would actually run away from home.

"But why would she do that? She must have been very angry to do something like that."

After laughing, Lin Zhixia wondered what terrible thing had made the child so angry that he ran away from home.

Shen Wanning was also puzzled. What exactly did Lu Chenyue do to make the child so angry that he wouldn't even come home?

"By the way, why did you go drinking yesterday?"

Lin Zhixia didn't speak immediately upon hearing this, but she slowed down her porridge-drinking.

She stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and the steam from the porridge rose into the air, blurring her face.

Shen Wanning wasn't in a hurry; she knew she was just trying to figure out how to bring it up.

"Ningning, do you think marriage needs love?"

Shen Wanning put down her bowl, sat upright, and looked at Lin Zhixia intently:

"Xiaxia, whether it's marriage or dating, I hope you find someone you love and who loves you in return. Love is the foundation; if the foundation isn't solid, how can we talk about the future?"

"But my mom can't wait for me to get married right away. She doesn't care whether I like the other person or not. She just feels that I'm not married, which makes her lose face in front of her relatives and friends."

Lin Zhixia finally revealed the reason why she drank yesterday.

After having a big argument with Lin's mother, she couldn't relieve her frustration and irritability, so she thought of drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

Shen Wanning finally understood where her best friend's emotions came from.

"Xiaxia, listen to me. Your life is your own. Your parents can only offer advice; the final decision is yours. Don't ignore your own feelings because of external pressure. You should have a good talk with your aunt and uncle."

"I know what you're saying, and I've told my mom this many times, but she won't listen. I get a stress reaction whenever I get a call from her now."

What could she do with her closest loved ones? She couldn't scold them, she couldn't get angry; she could only suppress her feelings and force herself to endure it.

"Xiaxia, what do you... think of Nanfeng?"

Shen Wanning carefully observed Lin Zhixia's reaction.

"Xiao Nanfeng? Ningning, why are you bringing him up? Did he say something to you?"

He didn't tell Ningning that the two of them slept together, did he?

Lin Zhixia felt uneasy.

"No, I just noticed that Nanfeng treats you differently. Besides, Feng Yan told me that he has never been in a relationship before."

Lin Zhixia looked up at Shen Wanning in surprise.

That's impossible. How could someone as gifted as Xiao Nanfeng not have dated anyone?

"Moreover, he not only never dated, but he also never engaged in one-night stands or played with feelings like those rich kids."

Although Lu Chenyue and his brothers were all living in a gold mine, they never did such low-class things.

Lin Zhixia: No, he did have one, and it was her.
