April 9th ​​was Xu Tingchuan's birthday.

That evening, Pei Yang and his group booked a private room at Lan Club to celebrate Xu Tingchuan's birthday.

Ni Sitian told Xu Tingchuan to go ahead first, as she needed to pick up something from somewhere.

When she entered the private room, Xu Tingchuan, Pei Yang, and Xu Jiayue were already there.

To her surprise, Gu Chen and Fu Wenuan were also there. She immediately walked towards Fu Wenuan, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you were coming back in May?"

“You and Zhi Lan are such good friends, you even asked the same questions.” Fu Wenuan smiled, took Ni Sitian’s hand, placed it on her lower abdomen, and whispered in her ear, “That’s why I came back.”

Ni Sitian was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up with surprise: "You're pregnant?"

As soon as she said this, everyone else in the private room looked at Fu Wenwen. Fu Wenwen felt embarrassed by their stares and smiled with her lips pursed, "Yes, I came back a couple of days ago and had a check-up at the Women and Children's Hospital. I'm four weeks pregnant now."

"Congratulations!" Congratulations echoed throughout the private room.

"I never expected that Ah Chen would be the first father in our area," Pei Yang said with a smile, raising his glass.

Gu Chen's eyes were smiling, and he seemed much gentler and warmer.

After finishing his drink, Pei Yang turned to Xu Tingchuan and joked, "Tingchuan, you should try harder. You got married seven or eight months earlier than Achen. How come someone else has overtaken you?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian's expression changed slightly. Fearing that Pei Yang's words would hurt Xu Tingchuan's sensitive spot, she immediately said, "Tingchuan is considering that I am still young and can wait a few more years."

"That's true. You're only graduating in June, right?" Pei Yang looked at Ni Sitian, smiled, and then teased Xu Tingchuan, "Look at you, an old cow eating young grass."

"You're still better than me. You're only a few months younger than me, and you don't even have a wife," Xu Tingchuan retorted sarcastically.

"Tsk, you're bullying me again, you honest guy. Why don't you say that to Mu Zhi?"

When Pei Yang said this, everyone laughed. Of all the people here, he was the only one who had absolutely no connection with Lao Shi.

After the joke, Gu Chen casually asked, "Why hasn't Mu Zhi arrived yet?"

“He flew to Singapore last night and should be in Syria by now.” Pei Yang frowned as he said this, “I don’t know what got into him, insisting on going to Syria at this time. I couldn’t persuade him otherwise.”

"He went to Syria!" Ni Sitian was stunned. Coming to her senses, she asked Xu Tingchuan urgently, "Why does he want to go to Syria?"

The incident between Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan on the ship that night was kept secret from Ni Sitian, so Xu Tingchuan did not mention that Shen Muzhi would go to Syria with Xiang Zhilan.

The flight that Xiang Zhilan had booked was sold out, so Shen Muzhi bought a ticket for a different flight on the same day.

"He wouldn't be going to see Zhi Lan, would he?" Even if Ni Sitian was slow to realize, something was wrong. Zhi Lan was originally scheduled to fly to Singapore yesterday morning and then transfer to Syria, and now Shen Muzhi was on the same flight.

"Yes, he's worried about her going alone." Xu Tingchuan knew that things were about to come out.

"Why is he worried about Zhi Lan?" Ni Sitian was a little confused about this. Syria is so dangerous. All Zhi Lan did was raise a dog for him for three months. Is it worth risking his life for her?

"Wait, are you saying that Xiang Zhilan went to Syria and Mu Zhi went with her?" Pei Yang was originally wondering why Shen Mu Zhi suddenly wanted to go to Syria, but now he understood everything.
