Why should she be happy? He's not happy yet!

His knuckles cracked from gripping his fists, yet he couldn't express the slightest bit of his inner turmoil. He hated, he regretted, he had endless emotions he wanted to vent, and he could only find solace in alcohol.

…………

Before I knew it, dawn had broken.

The area was littered with empty bottles, broken glasses, and unfinished drinks, a complete mess.

However, he was not drunk.

As he gazed at the sun rising higher in the sky, his mind cleared instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up his phone from the ground and dialed a number.

"Hey, Yibai, what's up so late?" It was Xiang Qi's sleepy voice on the other end of the phone.

She's still in the US. She stayed up all night working on a project until the early hours of the morning and is catching up on sleep right now.

"It's nothing, I just missed you."

A gentle laugh came from the other end: "I miss you too."

Wen Yibai politely raised the corners of his mouth, his face still cold and emotionless. "If you miss me, then find some time to come back to China. You can ask your sister to introduce you to the Murong family so you can have a meal together."

Xiang Qi was completely bewildered. An introduction? The Murong family? What was Wen Yibai talking about? How could Xiang Jin possibly know anyone from the Murong family? Was he waking her from her sweet dream just to act crazy?

She forced back her temper: "What are you talking about? How could Xiang Jin possibly know anyone from the Murong family? If you have nothing else, I'll go first—"

"Who said we don't know each other?"

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of vengeful pleasure in his expression: "The Feng Jianian she married, isn't that Murong Xiao?"
