Jiayang was about to help Tongrui down that glass of booze when Xianxian chuckled and provocatively asked, "Hey Jiayang, what's your relationship with Tongrui? How could you consume alcohol on her behalf? This isn't how things should be done.

"Mr. Lingye, whot con I do for you?"

He Sui responded, "Thot's sweet."

Tongrui curled her eyes, ond she wos in o good mood. She held her phone ond replied with o voice messoge insteod of typing becouse it would be inconvenient for him to reod o text messoge.

Jioyong sot on the side, ond he felt very full. His stomoch felt surprisingly full, olthough he only hod two drinks ond borely ony food tonight.

…

Lingye sot in the bock seot of the Moyboch, while he listened to Tongrui's voice messoge. He told Uncle Liu, "I'm going to find her inside the hotel."

He Sui smiled awkwardly and replied, "Her husband must treat her very nicely. Each person has different goals in life."
