Lan Guangxue rushed out of the room, pointed at Wang Xiaobao, and cursed, "How dare you talk to Xiuhua like that? Even if she's not your sister-in-law anymore, you still call me 'uncle.' She's my woman, and you should respect her. If you dare to do that again, I'll kick you out. This is my rented house."

Wang Xiaobao fell silent. He was currently making his fortune thanks to Lan Guangxue, and he couldn't afford to fall out with Lan Guangxue. There was only one bed in the inner room, and he didn't know where he would sleep that night. He immediately apologized to Xie Xiuhua, saying, "I was in a bad mood. I won't do it again next time."

“That’s more like it.” Lan Guangxue pulled him up from the chair. “Come on, let’s go to the secondhand market and buy a bunk bed to put here, otherwise you’ll have to sleep on the floor tonight.”

Afterwards, the three of them went out together. When they returned by car, they found a second-hand market nearby, which was quite large. The three of them went over and bought two bunk beds. Xie Xiuhua insisted on buying two because she was worried that the children would have nowhere to stay when they came over for the holidays. Since they were going to buy this house, they had to plan for the long term.

They bought some other things and rented a rickshaw to haul everything back to their rented room.

......

Su Xiaonuan drank quite a bit of alcohol; she, who is usually not drunk, actually got drunk today.

She got drunk because she was in a bad mood and drank a variety of alcoholic beverages.

Several owners from Wangwang Food Street drove her back, and they were all astonished to find that she lived in the penthouse of Yaleju.

When Xiao Moran received a call from Zhang Yulan, he rushed back from the factory. Looking at the unconscious Su Xiaonuan, his heart ached, and he realized that he shouldn't have spoken to her like that today.

Anyone who drinks knows that if someone who never gets drunk suddenly does so, it's definitely because they're in a bad mood.

"You're really going too far," Zhang Yulan said, punching her son. "You haven't been home for half a month! Are you planning to throw away such a good wife? No matter how busy your factory is, don't you even have time to come home and sleep at night?"

Su Xiaonuan rolled over and mumbled in her sleep, "Xiao Moran, you bastard..."

Xiao Moran felt another pang of pain in his heart, thinking that she had drunk so much because she knew about Jiang Yi and Mo Xi's relationship, which meant that her bad mood was also because of this.

"Look, even though Xiao Nuan is drunk, she's still cursing at you. You must have made her angry." Zhang Yulan hit him twice more. "You bastard, you don't care about your family. You picked me up and then abandoned me, you don't care about your wife and children. You're making me so angry! Xiao Moran, what exactly do you want?"

“Mother-in-law, don’t blame Mo Ran,” Ye Mei said as she walked in. “He’s definitely not coming back because he’s busy with business. Mo Ran is under a lot of pressure right now. Before, his Warmth brand mattresses were selling well, but now a Sanwen Warm Bedding brand has suddenly appeared on TV and has already overtaken Warmth brand mattresses. It’s not easy being a boss like him.”

Ye Mei has recently been seeing advertisements for sauna bedding every time she turns on the TV, and the same advertisement keeps appearing even when she changes the channel.

"Mom..." Xiao Moran looked at Ye Mei, hesitant to speak, but then thought better of it. If he said anything, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. Once he was done with his work, he would start preparing a grand wedding for Xiao Nuan, the most unforgettable wedding in the entire province.

"Look at you, you've lost so much weight. Go downstairs and have a bowl of chicken soup." Ye Mei said, feeling sorry for her son-in-law. "The chickens from your hometown are really good, and the soup they make is delicious."

“Mother-in-law, don’t spoil him!” Zhang Yulan said. “Save the chicken soup for Xiaonuan and Moxi, don’t give it to him. Who told him to never come home?”

"Where's Moxi? Hasn't she replied yet?" Xiao Moran asked.

“Why are you back so early?” Zhang Yulan sighed. “I thought that coming to the provincial capital would mean a family reunion, but I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t even see you every day. You’re never home, and Moxi is always out early and back late. I don’t even have a chance to talk to her. If it weren’t for my mother-in-law helping me with my handicrafts, I don’t think I could have stayed a day longer.”

What is she busy with?

"I heard she recently found a part-time job," Ye Mei said. "She said it's 2 yuan an hour."

Xiao Moran thought to himself, "This girl has learned to lie. She's clearly in a relationship, but she's pretending to be doing a part-time job. I was planning to just take a look and then go back to the factory, but now I've decided not to leave. I'll talk to Xiao Nuan properly when she wakes up, and I'll have a good chat with her when Mo Xi comes back."

No matter how important business is, it has to be put on hold for now.

Xiao Moran went downstairs to drink chicken soup, and then went to check on the achievements of the two mothers over the past two weeks in each room. Each room was covered with new bedding made by their own hands. The children's room had a four-piece fitted sheet set, which looked clean and neat, while the adults' room had a four-piece bed skirt set.

Ye Mei said that they also made a set of bedding for changing clothes. Xiao Moran looked through it all and secretly rejoiced that they had registered and started production first, otherwise, these products would have been seized by others.

However, Xiao Moran did not wait for the girl to come home that night.

After Su Xiaonuan sobered up, she looked at Xiao Moran, who was guarding her bedside, and asked, "Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to be back in a few days?"

"How are you? Are you feeling better now?" He reached out and touched her forehead, saying apologetically. "I said something that angered you, but you shouldn't have gotten yourself drunk. It's so dangerous for a woman to be drunk outside."

"You know you said the wrong thing, right?" Xiao Nuan wasn't so angry when she saw him. She hadn't felt it when she saw him every day, but she hadn't seen him for half a month and missed him a lot. As she spoke, she gently leaned her head against his chest.

"I was being petty, I'm sorry." He hugged her tightly, his voice trembling with emotion. "I thought you were angry because Moxi and Jiang Yi were dating. I was being narrow-minded. Now I know you genuinely care about Moxi, which is why you were so anxious and angry."

"Moxi, is she back?" Su Xiaonuan looked up at him. "Go and have a good talk with her. I'm afraid she'll get hurt. This girl is serious, but I'm afraid Jiang Yi isn't."

"Mercy hasn't returned yet."

"Still not back?" She grabbed Xiao Moran's wrist and looked at it. "It's so late, why isn't he back yet? This doesn't make sense. Even if they're dating, he should be back by now. Quick, go call Jiang Yi and ask."

After making the call downstairs, Xiao Moran rushed back upstairs anxiously. "Xiao Nuan, something might have happened to Mo Xi. Jiang Yi brought her back a while ago."

"What?" Su Xiaonuan rolled out of bed. "Where did he take her?"

"Jiang Yi offered to walk her downstairs, but she said she wanted to walk in herself, so he just walked her to the outside of Yaleju and left," Xiao Moran said frantically. "Two hours have passed since Jiang Yi brought her back. Where could she be so late?"

"Quick, go ask Aunt Zhang. She doesn't have many friends here, but she's close to Aunt Zhang." Su Xiaonuan had a bad feeling.

The children were all asleep, and even those who had come back from their night shifts had showered and gone to bed. Zhang Yulan was still awake because she was worried about her daughter, as were Ye Mei and Su Ming. They were waiting for Xiao Nuan to wake up.

Several adults split up to search for Xiao Moxi in the neighborhood, and Aunt Zhang joined them in the search. They searched the entire neighborhood but couldn't find any trace of Moxi.
