After taking Tao Yuxuan home, Shi Xu called Shi Xi again to ask them what they had done that day.
Shi Xi: "Tao Tao didn't say anything, but I noticed she seemed unhappy. Did you do something to upset her?"
Reflecting on his recent actions, Shi Xu said, "I didn't do anything."
"Then I don't know," Shi Xi guessed. "Is it because you've been too busy lately and haven't spent enough time with her? Buy her some flowers, give her a gift, and sincerely apologize."
"What are you apologizing for?" Shi Xu asked, puzzled. "Did I do something wrong?"
Shi Xi: "...Brother, that's your wife, not mine. I'm just providing you with a way to communicate."
Chronology: "...I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Xi lay down on the bed.
It turns out that everyone's relationships have been full of ups and downs.
On the other hand, Shixu fed Taoyu a detoxifying tea.
Want a divorce?
impossible.

Tao Yuxuan woke up from her hangover feeling a bit unwell, but her head didn't ache like it had before.
Seeing the last bit of hangover tea left by the bedside, Tao Yuxuan still couldn't remember what had happened yesterday.
All I remember is drinking and singing with Xixi.
Never mind, it's good to be home.
Tao Yuxuan got up to eat and saw Shi Xu sitting in the living room.
"Why didn't you go to the company?" Tao Yuxuan asked in confusion.
Timeline: "You were drunk yesterday, so I picked you up and brought you home."
Tao Yuxuan poured herself a glass of water. "Ah... thank you. I'll try to drink less next time."
Chronology: "Do you remember what you said when you were drunk?"
Tao Yuxuan: How could I remember that?!
"He's just talking nonsense when he's drunk, don't take it to heart." Tao Yuxuan sipped her water and tentatively asked, "What did I say?"
Timeline: "You said you wanted a divorce."
Tao Yuxuan choked on the water instantly, "Cough cough!"
Shixu patted her back and said, "Don't rush, tell me slowly."
"That was absolutely what I was saying when I was drunk!" Tao Yuxuan quickly stated her feelings, "How could I possibly want to divorce you?"
"People speak the truth when they're drunk; maybe this is what you really think," Shi Xu said slowly, leaning back on the sofa.
Tao Yuxuan sat down next to him and hurriedly explained, "I was just drunk and talking nonsense. I was probably too drunk. It's definitely not what I really think!"
Chronology: "You even dug out our marriage certificate yesterday."
Tao Yuxuan: ...
She ordered two bottles of strong liquor, intending to get Shi Xi drunk.
I never expected to be the one who messed up.
“Maybe, maybe—” Tao Yuxuan couldn’t think of an explanation, and she didn’t want a divorce, so she could only give a dry explanation: “Maybe it’s because he was drunk.”
It's all the alcohol's fault.
Shi Xu then said, "Besides divorce, you mentioned other things."
Tao Yuxuan's heart jumped. "What else did I say?"
She wasn't this talkative when she drank, was she?
Why did you get so drunk yesterday, acting like a wolf exploding in a rage?!
Why did Shi Xi abandon her?!
Are we still best friends?!
Couldn't you just get her a hotel room so she can calmly finish her tantrum?!
Timeline: "You said... I don't like you, so you want a divorce."
Tao Yuxuan's lips twitched.
She really did tell the truth when she was drunk.
That's not just speaking the truth when you're drunk.
This is just a case of alcohol emboldening a coward.
"I... I didn't mean that." Tao Yuxuan's voice trailed off, but she still insisted, "Really, it wasn't that."
I lowered my head, unable to face it.
"I'm not questioning you. It's just that you would think this way in the future." Shi Xu saw Tao Yuxuan's distress and said, "Tao Tao, I like you, that's why I married you."
