You old bastard!

Su Ping looked at Chen Qi, who was grinning slyly, and gave him a forced smile in return.

"Brother Qi, are you getting old and your memory is failing? A-Yu clearly told me he wouldn't be back until tomorrow night."

Feeling insulted for being older, Chen Qi was instantly heartbroken. How could Shen Jiayu's woman be just like him, saying such hurtful things!

Don't you know that a man is a boy until he dies?

His friends, who were waiting there, assumed he had failed in his attempt to flirt and quickly pretended to have something to do, urging him to go back and deal with it.

Before leaving, Chen Qi glanced at Tie Niu, who was standing silently to the side. As a man, he could clearly sense that this man's feelings for Su Ping were extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Shen Jiayu, that idiot, is still careless enough to leave Su Ping here alone while he flies all over the world. He won't even know when his wife runs off with someone else!

Not far away, Tu Ling swam over and clung to the shore: "Pingping, aren't you really going to come down and play?"

Su Ping moved a stool and sat down to eat some kebabs. Hearing this, he shook his head and used Tie Niu as an excuse to brush it off.

When the group got tired of swimming, Su Ping was also stuffed. Lin Hejing originally wanted to show off her barbecue skills, but found that there were only some vegetables and scraps left.

The two culprits were sitting there looking completely innocent, if you ignored the pile of skewers on the table next to them.

"You ate all of this?"

Lin Hejing stared at Su Ping in disbelief, unable to imagine how such a small belly could hold so many things.

Su Ping immediately shifted the blame to Tie Niu, who was standing to the side: "He ate them all; I only ate two skewers."

Although Tie Niu didn't quite understand, he still echoed Su Ping, "Yes, I ate them all."

Everyone was speechless at the two of them. When they got hungry, they stopped being picky and just grilled and ate the rest.

It seems that Lin Hejing and Xie Kerong got along well. When the party ended, Lin Hejing offered to take her home, and Xie Kerong did not refuse.

In the end, only Su Ping, Tie Niu, Tu Ling, and Shi Xu remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Sister Ling, we'll head back now. Let's hang out another day."

Su Ping was a little sleepy. After yawning, she waved to the two of them and walked towards the car parked there.

Tie Niu stayed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from her, and the two figures under the streetlights looked surprisingly well-matched.

Tu Ling couldn't resist taking out her phone, snapping a picture of their backs, and sending it to Tu Hengchuan.

Caption: Serves you right for not appreciating her! Now your wife has run off with someone else. You deserve it!

Tu Hengchuan quickly sent three question marks, and then a video call came in.

Tu Ling switched her phone to airplane mode and shoved it into her bag. She looked at Shi Xu beside her and asked, "Xu, did you hear anything just now?"

Shi Xu blatantly lied: "No, I saw that your phone just ran out of battery and shut down automatically."

Tu Ling gave him an approving look. What's going on? This straight man seems to be getting more and more sensible lately.

Tu Hengchuan, who couldn't get through to either of them by phone, felt increasingly uneasy as he looked at the photo.

When Sister Yu, who had just returned from visiting other artists, heard that Tu Hengchuan wanted to ask for leave to go down the mountain, she immediately refused him.

"This is a crucial moment in filming. Do you really want everyone to collectively boycott filming just to wait for you, even if it's just for a few days of your vacation?"

Tu Hengchuan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He knew that his request was a bit willful, but he couldn't control himself. Just thinking about other men around Pingping made him extremely jealous.

"I don't care what you're doing down the mountain, it's absolutely not allowed for the next few days!"

Seeing that Tu Hengchuan didn't say anything more, Sister Yu realized that her tone had been a bit too harsh, so she softened her tone and said, "After this period is over, and there aren't many scenes for you later, I'll help you apply for two days off from the director."

That's all we can do.

Tu Hengchuan compromised and began to seriously study the script, striving to get his scenes done in one take and speed up the filming schedule.

Su Ping drove the car into the villa area and heard a loud rumble of thunder outside. The air then turned cool, indicating that heavy rain was coming soon.

Tie Niu's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing the thunder, and a fragment of memory flashed through his mind.

It was raining heavily that day when those people discovered his sister hidden under his pillow and snatched her away despite his cries and pleas.

Tie Niu stared at Su Ping's profile as she drove, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

Isn't his sister right beside him?

So where is the truth?

Why are you looking at me?

Noticing his gaze, Su Ping slowed down and glanced at him.

Tie Niu shook his head and said, "I'm just a little tired."

Thinking about how he had carried her backpack and carried her down the mountain these past two days, Su Ping felt a little guilty and said, "We're almost home. I'll get a good night's sleep later."

These words made Tie Niu shake his head again. He stared at Su Ping and said, "I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, my sister will be gone again."

What did you say?

Su Ping suddenly couldn't understand what he was saying. What did he mean by her disappearing? Did he think she was the Fragrant Concubine and could turn into a butterfly and fly away?

As we were talking, the car turned a corner ahead and we arrived.

Why is there a black car parked in front of my house? Did the original owner's father come back early?

Su Ping opened the car door and got out. As soon as she looked up, she saw Yun Qi sitting in the driver's seat of the black car.

[Host, I forgot to tell you, Yun Qi has been waiting for you here all night.]

Just then, the car door behind them opened again, and Tie Niu got out of the car. Seeing that Su Ping hadn't waited for him, he walked up to her with a somewhat aggrieved expression and took her hand: "Sister, why didn't you wait for me?"

Yun Qi coldly looked at the two people in front of him. After hearing the man's address to Su Ping, a cold smile appeared on his lips. He then pushed open the car door and got out of the car.

He had taken off his suit jacket and put it in the car, and two buttons on his shirt were undone, making him look somewhat dejected.

"elder sister?"

Yun Qi stopped in front of the two, looking them over as they nestled together.

Okay, very good.

Under his gaze, Su Ping felt a chill run down her spine.

"Tie Niu, let's go."

Seeing that she completely ignored him, Yun Qi felt a pang of pain in his heart and subconsciously reached out to grab her arm.

"Senior, don't you have anything to say?"

Su Ping chuckled, stopped, turned to look at him, her eyes shimmering, seemingly brimming with tears.

"What should I say, congratulations on your engagement?"

Yun Qi opened his mouth, but saw Su Ping excitedly shake off his hand: "Is it fun to keep me hanging like this? Is it funny to watch me run around like a fool?"

"No, I didn't mean to lie to you, I..."

Yun Qi reached out to pull her into his arms, but was stopped by a hand that suddenly appeared in front of him.
