After leaving the bar, Nanxing took a taxi directly to where Duan Ye was.

It was nearly 11 p.m. by then, and Duan Ye had finished his hot pot meal.

The three of them had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and were helping each other walk out.

Lin Feng and Liu Jie both looked at him with a faint sadness in their eyes.

"Do you think people will face many hardships when they reach their thirties?"

Lin Feng sighed deeply.

No one spoke.

Liu Jie suddenly said, "I'm getting married."

Duan Ye and Lin Feng suddenly snapped out of their daze and asked in unison, "When?"

Lin Feng punched Liu Jie: "You little brat, you didn't say a word, did you?"

Liu Jie smiled and said, "She proposed to me a while ago."

"I agree."

Liu Jie's words stunned Lin Feng and Duan Ye.

Lin Feng: "Wait, you mean, she proposed to you?"

Duan Ye's eyes lit up: "I didn't realize, Jiezi, your sister-in-law is so amazing!"

Speaking of this, Liu Jie's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Well, she said I can't settle down and she doesn't want to wait anymore. She was afraid I would leave with the geography team again and she wouldn't be able to contact me, so she simply arranged the proposal herself."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ye and Lin Feng both laughed, and it was a genuine laugh.

"Congratulations," the two said sincerely.

Liu Jie: "The wedding date is set for two months from now. I hope that you and your wife can come with the children at that time."

Duan Ye's eyes inexplicably stung, and he nodded, "Okay."

Lin Feng also said, "My wife is about to give birth. When the baby is one month old, don't come alone again. You came alone when I got married. That's not very ethical."

Duan Ye looked at his two good brothers, and they genuinely wanted him to be with Luo Qingyuan.

Duan Ye himself also wanted that.

"must."

Once they reached the first floor, the evening breeze sobered them up considerably.

Liu Jie: "Come on, like back in school, let's bump fists and it's a deal."

Liu Jie was the first to extend his fist.

Duan Ye and Lin Feng laughed and said it was "childish," but in the end they still threw a punch.

It's a deal.

Just as they were enjoying their time together, a woman's voice rang out behind Duan Ye: "Husband."

As a result, the expressions on the faces of all three of them darkened.

Nanxing: "We should go home."

Lin Feng and Liu Jie put their arms around each other's shoulders: "Then we're leaving."

Duan Ye: "Remember to call a designated driver, and let us know when you arrive safely."

The two nodded and left.

The night was as still as water. Nanxing stood beside him and watched with him in the direction they had left.

"If you want to get together with them in the future, you can invite them over to your home anytime."

After saying that, Nanxing didn't wait for Duan Ye's reply, grabbed his hand, and walked towards the garage.

Duan Ye left, and Lin Feng and Liu Jie walked out from under the trees by the roadside. The streetlights cast long shadows of them, but they were two people, so they weren't so lonely. They had wives and children at home, and everything was alright.

Liu Jie: "Tell me, if we had stopped Brother Duan from getting so close to Nanxing back then, wouldn't things be different today?"

Lin Feng took out a lighter and lit a cigarette: "Fate is something you can't just stop if you want to."

Duan Ye eventually forgave Ye Nuan, but Ye Nuan still died, didn't she?

A short while later, Liu Jie saw a familiar car: "I'm leaving now, my fiancée is here to pick me up."

Lin Feng: "Okay, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Liu Jie walked quickly toward his car.

Lin Feng simply stood there and finished smoking a cigarette when the people who were there to pick him up arrived.

"Didn't I tell you to just send the driver?"

Ruan Jie smiled happily: "It's the same whether I come by myself or not. There aren't many cars on the road at this time, and besides, I just had a late-night snack and wanted to go for a walk."

Lin Feng looked at her large belly with a helpless expression: "How can I feel at ease with this?"

After saying that, Lin Feng wanted to call a designated driver.

Ruan Jie huffed, "I can do it! I'm pregnant, but it's not like I can't use my hands and feet! Hurry up and get in the car, hurry up..."

Finally, Lin Feng sobered up.

There's no other way; I can't afford to be half-asleep anymore.

Ruan Jie drove him slowly towards home.

"Did you see Duan Ye tonight? How was he? Is he alright?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment: "Not good."

Ruan Jie: "Then you should visit him more often when you have time. I have my parents at home, so I'll be fine."

Lin Feng: "Tsk, how come I never noticed before that my wife is so understanding and righteous?"

Ruan Jie chuckled: "You flatter me, husband. Your wife has always been very understanding and righteous, okay?"

Lin Feng was immediately amused.

Ruan Jie: "That's right, Xiaoxiao is so cute and handsome. He looks like an old man with his brows furrowed when he gets in the car. It's not good-looking at all."

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and in that instant, his heart felt warm.

"Thank you, honey."

Ruan Jie waved her hand: "You're welcome, husband."

The two looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.

There are countless ways to live life, and at this moment, Lin Feng seemed to have no regrets.

Meanwhile, Duan Ye was still resting with his eyes closed in the car.

He reeked of alcohol, which was quite pungent.

Nanxing couldn't even imagine how much he had drunk.

She clearly remembered that Duan Ye used to dislike drinking.

Duan Ye just leaned there, and Nan Xing didn't seem to want to get closer.

They returned home at midnight.

Hu Lan was already waiting for them at home, and she was very displeased to see them return.
