An Jing simply took off his shoes and walked a few steps in the office before sitting down in his chair, saying with extreme dejection, "I don't know, I didn't pay much attention."
Tianyi looked at him and said, "Weren't you quite happy to go home first after leaving the lawyer's office? What happened when you got back that you argued again? Why did she argue with you again and make you so angry?"
"Divorce, she wants a divorce from me," An Jing gritted his teeth hatefully.
Tianyi felt that this Lan Yu was really troublesome. An Jing was busy for her, and she still wanted a divorce.
"You're so good to her, and she still wants to divorce you. It can't be that you're... not capable in that area, can it?"
"Who's not capable? You're not capable!" An Jing jumped up, wanting to prove himself. "Have I ever lacked women around me? Every time it was me who took you out to play, you know better than anyone how capable I am!"
Tianyi couldn't help but laugh. He knew that normal words wouldn't help to comfort him. To make him feel a little better and stop him from thinking about Lan Yu, he suggested, "How about I take you out tonight to relax and let you try again if you're still capable?"
"Pah, I don't need to try." An Jing asked, "Did you and Susu also argue? You don't want to go to that kind of place yourself, do you?"
Tianyi smiled and said, "You know how to fight back now. It seems like there's nothing major. I didn't argue with my wife. Alas, we are really... She praises me every day for being amazing and can't leave me for a moment."
An Jing almost threw the cup on his desk at him. "You're a bad friend. I'm like this, and you're still showing off your affection. You want me to pounce on you and bite you, don't you!"
Tianyi stopped joking with him and said seriously, "Are you feeling a bit better? I'll accompany you for a drink tonight. I'm afraid you'll get sick from sulking in the office by yourself."
An Jing gave him an OK gesture.
Tianyi didn't say anything more, turned around, and left his office, leaving him to his thoughts.
As soon as he returned to his office, he sent a message to Susu, saying that he was going drinking with An Jing tonight and asked her to contact Lan Yu if she had time.
He told her that An Jing and Lan Yu had argued again, and this time it was quite serious.
Susu was in the studio, talking with Sophie in the pantry about a client who wanted to revise the design proposal.
She was interrupted by her phone's text message notification. She glanced at it and replied with a "good" with a slight frown.
Sophie noticed the subtle change in her expression and asked, "What's wrong? Whose message is it?"
"Oh, a client," Susu said. "I won't be going back with you after work today. I'm going to see a client."
"What client? Do you want me to go with you?" Sophie asked.
Susu smiled and said, "No need. You've worked hard too. Go back and rest early."
Sophie hummed and said, "Okay, I'll spend more time with the two children. You go and meet your client with peace of mind."
Susu nodded and then said, thinking of something, "By the way, what do you think of that classmate Qingchuan told me about last time? Should we make time to meet him?"
Sophie smiled shyly and said, "Looking at the photo you gave me, I think he's quite good. Moreover, you said his conditions are too good, would he be interested in me?"
"Don't overthink it. If you think it's okay, let's meet and talk first," Susu urged. "Qingchuan said his classmate is a very good person, but he's been busy with work and has delayed his lifelong event. He now has his own design company."
"Well, then let's meet," Sophie agreed shyly, lowering her head.
Susu happily patted her arm and said, "I'll tell Qingchuan right away and see when his classmate is free. I'll let you know when it's arranged."
"No problem, I'll get back to work." Sophie, as if feeling shy, took her teacup and left the pantry first, returning to the office.
Susu felt that her matchmaking efforts were quite successful. As long as the two met, anything was possible.
Sophie returned to her office and put down her water cup heavily, her expression instantly becoming extremely gloomy.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong for Susu to try to drive her out of the seaside villa in various ways.
Sophie tore up the photo of the man she was supposed to go on a blind date with. Just looking at the photo, this kind of person wasn't even a tenth of Qin Tianyi. She would never marry such a person!
After Susu finished talking with Qingchuan on the phone and arranged Sophie's blind date time, she called Lan Yu's mobile phone.
However, the phone was connected, but no one answered.
Tianyi had said in his text message that she and An Jing had argued quite seriously. Susu was worried that something might happen to her, so she called twice more.
When she called for the third time, the other party finally answered.
"Hello, Lan Yu, are you home alone?"
Lan Yu hummed in a hoarse voice.
After An Jing left, she had been squatting behind the door, heartbroken. She had heard the phone ringing constantly and hadn't moved.
But the phone's ringtone didn't stop, which woke her from her sorrow. She slowly got up and picked up her phone from the table.
Susu heard her voice and breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid she might do something foolish. She said, "I'll come to see you later tonight. We'll go shopping and have dinner together."
"I don't want to go out..."
"Staying at home won't solve the problem. Why don't you go out for a walk and relax?" Susu said, afraid she would refuse again. "Just consider it accompanying me. Tianyi is finally not home tonight, so I can also have some fun. No excuses for not coming, okay?"
Lan Yu took a deep breath, trying to cheer herself up, and said, "Okay."
"See you later."
Susu hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh, not understanding why An Jing and Lan Yu, who clearly liked each other, always argued.
In contrast, she and Tianyi used to be like that. However, she wanted to persuade Lan Yu well and not let Lan Yu be as foolish as she was, missing out on so much sweet time that could have been spent together.
When it was time to get off work, Susu drove to their apartment building as soon as she left the studio.
She waited in the car for a while and then saw Lan Yu slowly walking out, wearing a blue dress. The simple dress highlighted her temperament.
Seeing that she was only wearing light makeup, her eyes still looked a bit swollen, clearly from crying.
After Lan Yu got into the car, Susu said, "How about we go eat first? We'll have the energy to go shopping after we're full."
"Okay." Although Lan Yu still felt upset, seeing the bustling traffic outside and being in the midst of the lively atmosphere did feel better than staying at home.
Susu didn't say anything and drove directly to a restaurant in a large high-end shopping mall.
After they ordered their meals, Susu asked her, "By the way, is there anything you want to buy? Tianyi and I often come here to shop, and I know what's sold on each floor..."
"You know everything? Did Mr. Qin tell you?" Lan Yu asked proactively. "Then where is An Jing?"
Just as Susu was about to answer, she quickly added, "I don't mean anything else. I just want you to tell An Jing that I'm the one who should leave. That's his house. He doesn't need to run away from home."
