Zheng Lin once again fell into self-doubt.

Am I hallucinating again? Xiaojin said she's going to adopt a child.

Zheng Lin's face displayed a variety of expressions, making it difficult to discern whether he was happy or sad.

He couldn't bring himself to reveal his mischievous thoughts, so he asked indirectly, "Why do you want to adopt a child?"

Su Jin answered sincerely, "Because the old man said that having children makes the relationship more stable."

Zheng Lin: "......"

"Did Dad tell you that it was his own child, not an adopted one?"

Su Jin smiled, "It shouldn't be a big problem. Adoption instead of childbirth can directly reduce the pregnancy time by ten months. The child will win at the starting line as soon as he/she is born. When the same batch of children are born, our adopted child will already be one year old."

Zheng Lin: "..." Xiao Jin's algorithm is really worrying.

Zheng Lin could only guide her back to the right mindset: "If you can't guarantee that you'll always love the adopted child, it's better not to bring them in. We'll have our own children in the future. Can you guarantee that you'll offer the same maternal love to the adopted child?"

“That makes sense.” Su Jin sighed. “If you can’t treat everyone equally, then for the sake of fairness, you should get sterilized to eliminate any future problems.”

Zheng Lin panicked, his expression filled with fear. "What did you say? How can you be even more heartless than a few days ago? Do you still think that Bai Qingchi and I are having an affair?"

He held up two fingers and swore, "I swear, it really didn't happen."

Su Jin chuckled and said, "Oh, I was just kidding."

After saying that, she blushed and lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers. "I was just making excuses because I wasn't ready. How about we do it another day?"

Zheng Lin understood; this guy had the desire to steal but lacked the courage.

Zheng Lin lifted Su Jin's chin, "There's no better time than today, let's do it now."

He pressed down on Su Jin's shoulder and kissed her urgently.

Zheng Lin untied his robe, his hand reaching to her waist, and began to untie her robe as well.

Just as I was about to pull it away, I heard a knock on the door.

"Second Young Master, your friend is here to see you."

Friend? Which foolish friend is coming to find me at this hour?

Zheng Lin fastened his bathrobe and walked out, still resentful.

The butler was very confused by the second young master's angry appearance. What was wrong with him? He looked like he was about to kill someone.

Then he saw the second young mistress also come out of the room, and he suddenly realized, muttering, "Oh, this friend is indeed quite annoying."

In the reception room.

The man, known as the second young master's friend, was sprawled on the floor, howling like a pig.

Zheng Lin's brow twitched twice when he saw him.

This is the simpleton he once sued, lost the case, and then insisted on becoming his friend unilaterally. — Li He

When Li He saw Zheng Lin, it was as if he had seen a savior. He went up to Zheng Lin and wanted to give him a fist bump, but Zheng Lin ignored him mercilessly.

Li He: "......"

Li He, with his sharp eyes, spotted the woman following behind Zheng Lin. "Is this your sister? Could you introduce her?"

Zheng Lin gave him a death stare and put his arm around Su Jin's shoulder.

Li He: "......"

Zheng Lin: "In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you come to my house. Do you think you haven't had enough of the last lawsuit?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not." Li He was extremely nervous, wiped his sweat, and started wailing again, "Oh dear, oh dear."

"Speak properly, or get out." Zheng Lin directly ordered him to leave.

Su Jin was really looking forward to it. If someone was wailing incessantly in the middle of the night, there must be a great grievance involved. She was determined to hear this story.

Su Jin: "Take your time and tell me."

Zheng Lin looked at Su Jin: "He's very difficult to deal with, you should let him talk slowly."

"You have to help me today, my girlfriend has been stolen."

As soon as Li He spoke, Su Jin perked up.

The story of having your girlfriend stolen is quite intriguing if you delve deeper into it.

But Zheng Lin just found it boring, "Get lost. Get as far away as you can."

Li He continued, "You can't just stand by and watch someone die. Not only was my girlfriend stolen, but the person who stole her was also a woman."

Su Jin stood up abruptly, exclaiming, "Wow!"

Zheng Lin glanced at Su Jin, puzzled. "What are you so excited about? Don't flatter him. He'll talk to you all night. Doesn't he let anyone get any sleep?"

Su Jin: "How did that woman steal your girlfriend?"

Zheng Lin thought to himself: Why are you even interested in this?

Li He found someone to confide in and poured it all out: "It was her best friend who spoke ill of me in front of her, saying I was a womanizer, that I didn't look like a good man, that because I'm so fair-skinned, I must be in poor health, and that I wouldn't find true happiness with her."

Su Jin was slightly disappointed: "That's it?"

Li He slowly looked at her, heartbroken: "What do you mean 'that's all'! Do you know how much this hurts a man? You probably don't know, it's like my self-esteem is being trampled on!"

Su Jin: "But she didn't steal your girlfriend."

“That’s robbery,” Li He argued logically. “Think about it, without me, her best friend could have her all to herself. How can that not be robbery?”

Zheng Lin couldn't hold back any longer. "Li He, you can get out of here now."

"No, no, no, no!" Li He started wailing again, "Oh, you won't help me."

Su Jin: "We can't help you with this; it's your personal matter."

Li He exclaimed excitedly, "This isn't a private matter! I'm going to sue her best friend for defamation!"

“Slander…slander?” Su Jin really didn’t expect the story to take such a dramatic turn. This man named Li He was probably not a normal person either.

Su Jin and Zheng Lin exchanged a glance. Zheng Lin pointed to his head and told her, "This isn't good. Don't worry about it. Let's go to sleep."

Li He noticed that Zheng Lin treated that woman very differently, speaking to her in a soft, gentle voice.

Unexpectedly, even the usually woman-averse Zheng Shao has found love.

And he tragically lost his beloved!

Lihe: "Hey, could you come with me for a few drinks?"

Su Jin couldn't move her feet when she heard there was wine to drink.

You see, alcohol has a fatal attraction for her; even without memories, her taste buds don't lie.

“Okay,” Su Jin readily agreed.

Zheng Lin's face instantly darkened, turning as black as a dumpling. "You're not allowed to go. You still want to go out drinking with him alone."

Su Jin hugged Zheng Lin's arm and shook it, "Come on, come on, you come with me. I just want to have a drink, maybe if I drink some alcohol I can remember some memories. You won't let me touch this or that, but my injuries are healed and my head doesn't hurt anymore."

She continued to shake his arm, pleading, "Come on, come on. Honey, let's go just this once, okay?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, and that "husband" touched his heart.

Zheng Lin couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously replied, "Okay, I'll go."
