"Three years... Mu Zhi has a long wait ahead of him." Xu Tingchuan looked at the sky and sighed softly.

"So what? He waited for Su Yan for ten years." Ni Sitian always stood on Xiang Zhilan's side.

In the less than a year since Zhi Lan met Shen Muzhi, she has experienced too many sad and painful things. If she could live a better life without him, why would she go back to him? She's not a masochist.

"If we make her wait for Zhi Lan for ten years, she'll probably be an old man by then." Xu Tingchuan shook his head helplessly.

"Then let's not wait. Wouldn't it be good to get back together with Su Yan? Anyway, maybe Zhi Lan is in a new place, has a new life, and new feelings. She didn't necessarily like Shen Muzhi that much to begin with, so she should be able to get back on her feet quickly."

“You harbor deep resentment towards Mu Zhi right now,” Xu Tingchuan said, tilting his head slightly and smiling faintly.

“Everything he’s done, every single one of them is worthy of resentment, just that incident on the cruise ship…” Ni Sitian bit her lip, unable to continue. Once, because of Jiang Yun and Su Yan’s scheme to frame her, she thought she and Producer Chen had done *that*, and in despair, she even considered jumping into the river.

Zhi Lan was still conscious when Shen Mu gave her...

She could fully imagine it, so no matter how pitiful Shen Muzhi was now, she would resolutely not waver in her stance.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing Ni Sitian's indignant look again, Xu Tingchuan changed the subject and said, "That mysterious landlord sent an invitation to the ball, inviting us to attend together."

"Me too?" Ni Sitian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Go ahead, just for fun." Xu Tingchuan glanced at Ni Sitian's belly. "The doctor said your pregnancy is very stable, and moderate exercise is fine."

“Okay, going together will show our sincerity.” Ni Sitian still misses the villa on the island in the middle of the lake, especially the two nurseries that Xu Tingchuan designed before. When she first saw them, she was very sad because she thought she couldn’t get pregnant. Now her mindset is naturally different, and the more she thinks about them, the better she feels about those two nurseries.

The two chatted idly for a while, and when Xu Tingchuan saw that the sun had set, he took Ni Sitian's hand and walked towards the parking area.

Just as the two were about to walk to the car, they saw Pei Yang talking to a mature and beautiful woman sitting in a red convertible sports car.

Ni Sitian frowned, and Xu Tingchuan opened the car door to let her in.

After getting into the car, she looked back at Pei Yang again. He was chatting and laughing, and didn't seem heartbroken at all. Jia Yue was about to marry someone else, and he was behaving like this. She had even spoken well of him to Jia Yue before.

"Stop staring, your eyes are going to pop out," Xu Tingchuan teased as he got into the driver's seat.

“I’m starting to doubt how much he really likes Jia Yue. Maybe it’s nothing more than that.” Ni Sitian looked away.

“You’ve misunderstood. Pei Yang does have quite a few women around him, but that was his stepmother, his father’s fourth wife,” Xu Tingchuan said, starting the car.

"Pfft, cough cough." Ni Sitian choked, really speechless. This is just as chaotic as the gambling king's family in Hong Kong. You can imagine how much of a show will unfold after Old Master Pei dies.

"That's why, even though Pei Yang likes Jia Yue, I don't want to help him at all. In fact, I secretly favor Han Shizhao. But it's better for them to handle their own feelings." Xu Tingchuan had already made his position and attitude clear.

Ni Sitian nodded in agreement with Xu Tingchuan's opinion, and then turned back to look at Pei Yang.

That stepmother's gaze didn't seem like she was looking at a junior. Besides, she didn't look much older than Pei Yang. Pei Yang's father was really... energetic and vigorous.
