After he finished speaking, he quickly pulled Peng Leyun back. Because the movement was a bit too violent, he felt his stomach and head churning at the same time, and it took him a while to recover.

"I said, let's hurry up and leave, I feel like throwing up..." Chen Lu said softly.

I really can't take it anymore.

Even being headshot by ten rockets wouldn't make me this dizzy.

"So let's call this a draw, no objections, right?" Jiang Chao couldn't suppress the smile on his face, thinking to himself that he had finally made it this far.

Even if he drank half a glass more, he would vomit it all over the place on the spot.

Li Sinian lay face down on the table, already motionless.

"I'll pay the bill," Chen Lu said.

There's no need to engage in any of that nonsense with these grown men, like secretly paying for the toilet in public; the relationship is what it is.

Li Sinian, who had been standing like a corpse, finally reacted and slowly raised his right hand: "It's been so long since we last met, let me treat you."

Jiang Chao crossed his legs and suddenly smiled.

“What’s there to argue about? Since the three of us are married, let’s decide this in the way married people do.”

"What does that mean?" Chen Lu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Jiang Chao slowly placed his phone on the table and said jokingly, "Let's just sit here. Whoever's wife calls first pays the bill, okay?"

For a moment, no one spoke, and everyone, including Jiang Chao, glanced down at the time.

It is 10:44 PM now.

This is an extremely dangerous time for married men.

It's not unusual for someone's phone to ring at any moment.

Chen Lu felt like his phone had suddenly become a bomb that could explode at any moment. Logically speaking, Liang Zhirou should be sitting on the sofa waiting for him to come home, while also considering whether to call and ask.

He is probably going to lose.

But people always have some strange sense of dignity that they need to maintain.

A man should never be told he is incompetent. Just like many online novelists, if someone tells them their writing is bad, they might not get angry, but they will seriously reflect on it.

But if someone says it's short, it will definitely break your defenses.

He paused for a moment, then said softly, "Come on."

Except for Peng Leyun, the three of them had their phones lying flat on the table, and they all held their breath and stared intently at their phones.

We were supposed to chat while we waited, but now nobody's in the mood for chatting anymore.

Today we have determined who is superior and who is inferior, and we will also decide life and death.

Time passed second by second, and just as Chen Lu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the screen of his phone on the table lit up.

There are still two.

He leaned over to take a look, but his phone wasn't ringing.

Jiang Chao calmly said to Li Sinian, "You lost."

"Why?" Li Sinian was puzzled. Wasn't it obviously a draw?

"It wasn't my wife who hit me."

Jiang Chao swung his leg back and forth, looking incredibly smug.

Li Sinian craned his neck to get a closer look—

"Damn it! I'm going to pay the bill!" Although Li Sinian had originally planned to treat everyone, he was still very unhappy about spending the money after all this trouble.

Chen Lu looked up at Jiang Chao, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Putting aside whether they'll actually call the customer... what time of year is this?

He secretly answered the call while Jiang Chao wasn't looking.

A clear, bright female voice immediately came from the other end of the phone:

"Jiang Chao! Do you even know what time it is?"

"Find somewhere to sleep yourself, I'm locking the door!"

It was obvious that this was Liu Yan's voice.

Jiang Chao, who had just been gloating, froze on the spot.

Noticing the three people's gazes, he smiled slightly and scratched his cheek with his index finger, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

Before suggesting we play this game, I secretly changed Liu Yan's nickname in my contacts, but I never expected it would be discovered...

Damn it! That bastard Chen Lu, would he die if he wasn't so shrewd?!

Seeing the unfriendly expressions on everyone's faces, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "They didn't say beforehand how a draw would be settled. Are we supposed to each pay half?"

"If you cheat, you should be considered to have lost!"

Seeing the two arguing, Chen Lu leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I'm not exactly happy.

But no matter what, Master Chen won.

Just as he was about to send a message to Liang Zhirou saying that he was going back, Jiang Chao, who was sitting next to him, suddenly nudged his arm.

"Is that your wife?"

What nonsense are you spouting...

Chen Lu turned around and saw a green and white electric scooter slowly coming to a stop under the streetlight, carefully supported by a pair of slender and beautiful long legs.

The clear, bright light shone on the girl like a spotlight in the night, making her already cool and delicate face even more dazzling.

Her long, black hair, reaching her waist, was gently lifted by the evening breeze, making her look graceful and charming.

Noticing her gaze, she suddenly smiled and waved in their direction.

This really is his wife.

Before she could react, Chen Lu had already walked slowly to Liang Zhirou and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

This silly boy is clearly terrified of the dark.

"I'm coming to pick you up."

Liang Zhirou lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers, explaining softly, "It's too late, I'm worried..."

"You know it's too late, huh?" Chen Lu gently pinched the girl's cheeks twice. Her cheeks were red from the cold and felt cool to the touch. "It's so dark and cold, and you dared to ride your electric scooter out like that?"

"I...I know I was wrong."

Liang Zhirou apologized quickly and sincerely, then slowly raised her eyes, looked at him cautiously, and asked in a very soft voice:

"Would you dare to do it again next time?"
