Ge'er could only start crying.
"Brother is bad! Brother ruined my clothes, I hate brother!"
"Daddy is also bad, Daddy won't let Ge'er wear new clothes! I don't want to wear torn ones, it's so embarrassing, boo hoo~"
"I want to wear new clothes, boo hoo~"
Seeing the two children making themselves look like stray cats, Ge'er even started crying indignantly.
Zhan Beijue's heart softened, and he could only grant their wish.
Soon, the father and his two children appeared outside Jiang Nanfang's door.
Jiang Nanfang opened the door and, seeing her children dirty like stray cats, quickly crouched down.
"What happened? Did you two fight or what? How did you get like this? Come, come in quickly, Mommy will change your clothes."
As if Zhan Beijue didn't exist, Jiang Nanfang pulled the two children into the room.
Closing the door, she skillfully pulled over the suitcase and opened it. Ruirui blinked his big eyes and leaned close to her, whispering.
"Mommy."
"Mm?"
"Daddy is taking us back to Nancheng after tomorrow's event. What are you planning to do tonight?"
So, they had intentionally dirtied their clothes to come and discuss escaping with her?
Jiang Nanfang also lowered her voice, changing their clothes as she spoke, "I was just about to message you."
"Tonight, you will temporarily share a room with him. When he falls asleep, quietly open the door and leave with me."
"I've booked our flights to Nancheng in advance. We'll arrive in Nancheng at dawn, pick up Jingyu and Jingtian, and then we'll leave Nancheng."
"We're not going to Dan Country anymore. I have a feeling it's not safe there now. Let's reunite as a family for a few days, like a vacation. We can consider settling down when we find a place we like."
So Mommy had already made up her mind.
She hadn't thought about giving Daddy another chance at all.
Ruirui felt a little lost.
"Won't it be too risky to leave like this? Daddy is a light sleeper. What if he wakes up in the middle of the night and finds us?"
"Then let him sleep more soundly."
For the past few years, with the children being young and work pressure high, Jiang Nanfang had suffered from insomnia.
Hearing that melatonin had a sleep-inducing effect, she always kept some in her bag.
She took out a bottle of melatonin that resembled chewing gum and handed it to Ruirui.
"Find an opportunity to give him a few pills. I guarantee he'll sleep very soundly tonight."
But Ruirui didn't want to deal with Daddy so easily.
He felt that the relationship between Daddy and Mommy could still be saved.
"What if Daddy isn't susceptible to this? For safety's sake, I think we should get him drunk."
He said with a mischievous tone.
"Double insurance is better than taking risks, what do you think, Mommy?"
The idea was good, but it might be difficult to execute.
"How can you two little children get him drunk?"
Ruirui: "We can't, but you can. Treat Daddy to dinner later."
"It's a bit of a sacrifice for you, pretend to reconcile with him. As long as we get him drunk, we can leave!"
Although Jiang Nanfang didn't want to talk to Zhan Beijue, didn't want to eat with him, let alone drink with him.
But!
In order to safely escape with the children and have more time to go back to Nancheng to pick up Jingyu and Jingtian,
She decided to make a sacrifice.
The mother and son went out. Zhan Beijue was standing with his back to them, looking out from the windowsill.
Jiang Nanfang called out, "Mr. Zhan."
Mr. Zhan?
Heh.
Zhan Beijue turned back coldly.
After getting along with Zhou Jinxiu, she even changed her address for him?
His tone was cold: "Why didn't you take out their luggage and give it back to them? I don't want to come over again because of changing clothes."
Jiang Nanfang stood still.
"It's so late, the children are hungry. Aren't you hungry too? Shall we have dinner together?"
Have dinner together?
They hadn't even spoken properly since returning from Bali, let alone eaten together.
Why did she suddenly think of having dinner with him?
Zhan Beijue felt a flicker of excitement, but his words were still sharp.
"You only separated from Zhou Jinxiu a few minutes ago and now you want to have dinner with me. Aren't you afraid he'll see and get angry?"
Angry at your pigheaded self!
I can have dinner with whoever I want, what does it have to do with Zhou Jinxiu?
I haven't even mentioned your fiancée Gong Beibei, why are you being so passive-aggressive towards me?
Jiang Nanfang suppressed her anger inwardly.
"Zhou Jinxiu is a magnanimous person, he certainly won't get angry just because I have a meal. I'm just afraid Mr. Zhan will overthink it."
"However, I don't think Mr. Zhan seems like someone who is afraid of his wife. Having dinner with me shouldn't be a problem, right?"
A joke!
I, Zhan Beijue, am certainly not afraid of my wife!
Besides, Gong Beibei is not my wife at all!
It's just dinner, isn't it?
Zhan Beijue strode into the center of the living room.
"Since you want to get close to me so much, I'll give you a chance. What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Nanfang looked down and asked the two children.
They exchanged glances, and after two seconds, they said in unison: "Hot pot!"
In the middle of summer, in a resort city like Bincheng, it was really not easy to find an authentic hot pot restaurant.
Zhan Beijue drove around for a long time before finding a satisfactory restaurant.
After entering, sitting down, and ordering, Jiang Nanfang asked the waiter.
"Do you have Wuliangye? Get me two bottles."
After speaking, she looked at Zhan Beijue again.
"Mr. Zhan, I'm afraid the hot pot restaurant doesn't have particularly high-end liquor. Can you make do with Wuliangye?"
Crazy.
Suddenly wants to treat me to dinner, and wants to drink with me?
What trick is she playing now?
Zhan Beijue flatly refused: "I'm not drinking. No drinking and driving, how can I drive back after drinking?"
Unexpectedly, the waiter quickly responded.
"You can call a designated driver, sir. There are many designated drivers waiting outside our hot pot restaurant to pick up orders, it's very convenient."
"..."
Jiang Nanfang seized the opportunity to say, "I'm leaving tomorrow, leaving Nancheng, and I won't bother you again."
"Tonight is probably the last time we'll sit together and eat."
"I just want to have a couple of drinks with you and say a few words. Don't worry, I won't eat you. Give me a chance, Mr. Zhan."
Her voice was choked with emotion, and her expression was dejected.
Seeing her like this, and thinking that they would never have a chance to sit together again.
A sigh of frustration instantly blocked Zhan Beijue's throat.
Feeling agitated and wanting to lose his temper, he waved the waiter away.
He asked casually, "What do you mean? Where are you planning to go?"
"I haven't decided yet. But the world is big, where can't I go?"
"Are you sure you're not going back to Nancheng?"
"Of course. Didn't you not want me to go back? Now that I'm finally leaving, are you happy?"
Who the hell wants you to!
Zhan Beijue almost blurted out.
Who the hell truly wants you to leave!
But... he suppressed it.
"Then after you leave, what about Zhou Jinxiu?"
Jiang Nanfang smiled: "I've told you how many times, I'm just a friend with Zhou Jinxiu."
"Besides. Is he someone who lacks women? Even if he does, it won't be just me. Is it interesting to always mention him?"
It really wasn't interesting.
But that scoundrel Zhou Jinxiu, time and again, used Jiang Nanfang's name to boost his own ego.
If she didn't stop him, Zhan Beijue was unhappy!
