He Jiaojiao looked over and saw that it was Shen Yan. She quickly said, "Qianqian, I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for Bai Qianqian's reply, she turned and ran away.

Bai Qianqian looked up and saw Shen Yan, somewhat surprised, "You, what are you doing here?"

"I just happened to be passing by and saw you getting out of school, so I came to say hello." Shen Yan was lying; he had arrived long ago and was deliberately creating a chance encounter.

"Hey~ Isn't this Brother Shen Yan? What a coincidence!" Mo Yiqing saw this scene as soon as she came out and quickly teased him.

Shen Yan turned his gaze and saw that Gu Zhihua and the others were all there. He smiled awkwardly and said, "What a coincidence."

"It is indeed a coincidence," Gu Zhihua smiled, as if she had noticed something. When Bai Qianqian had her accident last time, she noticed that Shen Yan treated Bai Qianqian differently. Since they had run into each other, she decided to do him a favor. "Everyone is going to Moyuan for dinner tonight. A-Ting should have mentioned it in the group chat, right? You should come along too."

Shen Yan hadn't actually noticed the messages in the group chat. He took out his phone and saw the message in the group. A hint of happiness flashed in his eyes. "Great! I was just about to head over."

"Let's go then. We'll all ride in one car, and you can follow behind." Gu Zhihua said, then took Bai Qianqian's hand and left.

Shen Yan watched Bai Qianqian's retreating figure, a smile spreading across his face. He happily returned to his car. As long as he could eat with her, even if there were a large group of people, he would be happy.

Ink Garden.

Several grown men were already sitting in the living room.

"Ever since Fourth Brother got married, we're only able to eat at Moyuan thanks to his wife," Li Hanchuan joked.

Ye Shuwei rolled her eyes at him, "I don't even want to bring you along."

"Honey, don't do that. Everyone else is in pairs. If you don't have a husband, you'll have to eat their dog food later," Li Hanchuan said with a grin.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Look at how afraid you are of your wife." Lu Yanjing teased from the side.

"It seems like you're saying the same thing?" Li Hanchuan retorted.

"By the way, where is Ayan?" He Jinzhou asked.

"I haven't seen that kid lately, I wonder what he's been up to. He doesn't reply in the group chat either," Lu Yanjing said.

"Just let him go. Everyone else is in couples, and he's really hurt." Li Hanchuan felt sorry for him for a second.

"Go pick whatever you want to drink. Let's all have a drink tonight," Mo Yeting interrupted them.

"I know how to pick wine," He Jinzhou said, standing up.

"I'll go with you. I've had my eye on a bottle of wine that Fourth Brother has been collecting for a while now, and tonight I finally have the chance to choose the wine myself." Lu Yanjing followed him.

Outside the villa.

Gu Zhihua and her group's car came to a smooth stop, and the women got out.

Upon entering the living room, the men's faces lit up with doting affection when they saw their wives.

"Honey, is dinner ready?" Gu Zhihua asked Mo Yeting.

"Alright, everyone, let's go to the dining room," Mo Yeting said.

As the group entered the dining room, Bai Qianqian subconsciously glanced towards the villa entrance.

Gu Zhihua noticed her little scheme and realized that there was something going on between the two of them.

Everyone sat down, and Gu Zhihua pulled Bai Qianqian to sit next to her, having specially reserved a seat for her.

Shen Yan arrived late and entered the dining room. Gu Zhihua waved to him, "Shen Yan, this is the only seat left."

Everyone then realized that Gu Zhihua had done it on purpose. They saw through it but didn't say anything. It seems that Shen Yan is about to find a partner.

"Great, sister-in-law." Shen Yan was more than happy to oblige.

Everyone else except Gu Zhihua had been poured wine, but Shen Yan pushed his glass aside and said, "I'll just have a soft drink."

He thought that if he drank alcohol, he wouldn't be able to take Bai Qianqian home.

"You shouldn't drink either," Li Hanchuan said, taking Ye Shuwei's drink away.

"Why should I? I'm happy today, so I want to drink," Ye Shuwei said, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Honey, you have a bad temper when you're drunk..."

"Huh? Saying I have bad drinking manners?" Ye Shuwei said angrily.

"I misspoke. You still need to prepare for pregnancy, so you can't drink alcohol," Li Hanchuan's tone softened.

"Who wants to have your baby?" Ye Shuwei snatched the wine glass. "Come on, everyone, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

After Ye Shuwei finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses. With this pair of bickering lovers around, the atmosphere at the table immediately became lively.

The men were all helping their wives pick up food, and Shen Yan followed suit, helping Bai Qianqian pick up food as well.

Bai Qianqian was a little embarrassed. "Thank you."

Time passed by, and Ye Shuwei had drunk quite a bit and had started a drinking contest.

"Honey, you're drunk. Let's go home, okay?" Li Hanchuan took the wine from her hand.

"Huh? I'm not drunk. I'm just happy. I want to drink more." Ye Shuwei raised her empty glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Helpless, Li Hanchuan picked her up from the stool. "She's drunk. I'll take her home first."

"You've been drinking, so you shouldn't drive. I'll have the driver take you home," Gu Zhihua said.

"Okay, I'll trouble you to arrange a driver for me, sister-in-law." After saying that, Li Hanchuan carried Ye Shuwei away.

The women had also drunk quite a bit, and seeing that it was getting late, they all stood up and left.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going back now too." Bai Qianqian stood up.

"Qianqian, Shen Yan didn't drink tonight, so let him take you home." Gu Zhihua gave them an opportunity.

Before Bai Qianqian could refuse, Shen Yan spoke first, "I happen to be going that way."

"Really? You know where I live?" Bai Qianqian asked curiously.

Shen Yan realized he had let something slip, and he stammered, "What I meant was, it's on my way wherever you live."

Gu Zhihua smiled without saying a word. This Shen Yan was a bit clumsy. She hoped he could successfully win over the person he liked.

"Okay, thank you then." Bai Qianqian didn't stand on ceremony anymore.

"I'll see you out." Gu Zhihua saw the two of them into the car, and a smile appeared on her face as she watched them get in.

Mo Yeting walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Wife, when did you become a matchmaker?"

"I'm just giving them a chance. I think they're quite a good match." Gu Zhihua raised her hand and touched his handsome face.

"Wife, I'm drunk. Can you take care of me?" Mo Yeting rubbed his face against her neck.

"Are you drunk? You seem perfectly clear-headed, trying to trick me again." Gu Zhihua turned around and pinched his cheek.

"Wife, would you like to help me take a bath?" he asked sweetly.

"Okay, I'll help you wash." Gu Zhihua took his arm and walked towards the villa.

In the car.

Bai Qianqian sat in the passenger seat. She had also drunk a little alcohol that night and was slightly tipsy, her face flushed. She rolled down the window to admire the night view outside and ease the awkward atmosphere.
