"You shameless bastard! They already have a child, a happy family of three, what are you doing meddling in! If you go to them again, I'll beat you up, you believe me!" Fang Nan had never seen a mistress act so self-righteously before, and he could no longer tolerate it.
"Hit me?" Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant in front of her since she was a child. She turned half her face to the side, pointed at her own nose, and said, "Try hitting me! If you don't hit me today, you're a coward!"
Fang Nan was just joking, but he didn't expect someone to actually stick their face out. One hand froze in mid-air: "You...you crazy woman!"
Mu Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly, pointing her finger at his nose and taunting him, "You coward!"
He rolled up his sleeve and glanced at the time; it was already past seven. He clicked his tongue in disdain and turned to leave.
Fang Nan was left standing there, furious and fuming, yelling, "You're the coward! You shameless coward!"
"Alright, I've already stung you with just two sentences. You're useless," Song Hengjue said disdainfully. "Hurry up and take them home."
"I treated you like a brother and you stabbed me in the back, Song Hengjue, you, you, you... Don't even think about asking me to do anything underhanded for you next time." Fang Nan said angrily.
"Just tell me if you're going or not," Song Hengjue said.
Fang Nan looked at the darkening street scene around him, cursed under his breath, and reluctantly rushed forward.
"Hey, shameless bastard, wait for me."
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't stop, but walked even faster: "Idiot, don't follow me."
"Pah, good intentions are wasted."
…………
Back home, after confirming the man had left, Mu Xiaoxiao took her phone to the balcony: "Hello? Brother?"
Tang Bainian's tired voice came from the other end: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Brother, do you know your wife has been cheated on?" Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't suppress the smile on her face as she laughed gleefully.
Tang Bainian was subconsciously angry for a moment, then belatedly came to his senses and tentatively asked, "...What do you mean?"
“Song Hengjue just came to see me,” Mu Xiaoxiao coughed and straightened her posture. “He took 20,000 yuan and told me to leave you.”
Tang Bainian: ...
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by this statement.
After a long while, he finally managed to sift through the language system and come up with a curse: "He's mentally ill."
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled: "They said they'd let me leave your family of three, and they gave me 20,000. Brother, how many tens of thousands are you planning to give me to stay?"
“Give you a head,” Tang Bainian retorted, pausing for a moment, “…Wait, you just said child?”
"Yeah, I don't know where he got the misunderstanding from. His thought process is really weird." Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. If she weren't Tang Bainian's younger sister, she would have actually believed their nonsense when they were so confident just now.
Even funnier: "Hey bro, do you know you just had a big, healthy baby?"
Tang Bainian frowned: "Stop being cheeky."
“Boring,” Mu Xiaoxiao said. “My sister-in-law is much more fun. So should I explain my relationship with you and that son to her?”
She didn't believe the two of them would give up so easily; she was sure they would find another way to persuade her.
The misunderstanding involves a son? That makes things even easier.
The weariness in Tang Bainian's eyes vanished, and he chuckled, "If he says he has a son, then he does. I'll trouble you to help me deal with it."
"Tsk." Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the phone that had just been hung up and casually tossed it into the sofa.
It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he jumped up from the ground in disbelief.
When did her brother become so cunning?

Airport...
Sun Rong's eyes were blurry from looking: "Shen Rong could not have already gone out, and we missed him, right? It's been half an hour since the agreed time, and we haven't seen a trace of him."
Yang Qingheng frowned, took out her phone, found a quiet place, and made a call.
I was feeling a bit irritable.
Today was to hand over the work to a designer who had returned from studying abroad. She was very famous in the industry, so she came here early in the morning to wait. The cold wind seeped in through the gaps in her clothes and stung her skin.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Shen? This is Yang Qingheng from Baizhu Co., Ltd."
A somewhat familiar male voice came from the other end: "Mr. Yang? I'm Mr. Shen's assistant. I'm so sorry, Mr. Shen just gave me instructions, but I forgot to call you back. Here's the thing, we've arrived at the hotel. It's cold today, so we won't trouble you to make the trip."
The man stammered and hesitated several times.
Yang Qingheng's heart skipped a beat. She bit her chapped lower lip and said warmly, "Mr. Shen, you're too kind. You can leave these small things to me. I'm sorry I didn't do a good job as the host and failed to pick you up. Could you give me an address so I can go and apologize to you in person?"
The assistant hesitated, then looked up at the man opposite her.
He nodded only after receiving consent: "Mr. Shen is currently at the Fulin Hotel."
"Okay, thank you." Yang Qingheng said politely, but the smile on her face turned as cold as ice the moment she hung up the phone.
"That designer Shen is so rude! We had arranged to meet here, and he broke the agreement on his own," Sun Rong said, annoyed and hesitant. "What do we do now?"
Yang Qingheng swallowed her anger and laughed bitterly: "What can we do? Apologize to him and let's go."
Their new product launch was entirely dependent on this collaboration. If this person backs out, where will they find a designer of equal standing?
Sun Rong cursed a few times, then strode after Yang Qingheng and thoughtfully opened the car door for her.
