The children were very observant.
No, to be precise, they were deliberately creating opportunities for their father and mother.
So after dinner, the four siblings played for a while and then went to their rooms to sleep together.
Leaving ample space and time for the two of them to be alone.
In the past, when the children indirectly created opportunities and the two of them were forced to be together, there was nothing awkward about it.
Now, being openly set up by others, they felt strangely embarrassed.
They were already an old married couple, and with no one around, in the silence, they looked at each other, and their hair stood on end from awkwardness.
Jiang Nan Fang, being a woman, was shy.
After sitting for a while, seeing that Zhan Bei Jue didn't speak first, she pretended to be busy.
"If there's nothing else, why don't you go back? I'm not sleepy yet, I'll go write some script."
After all the misunderstandings were cleared up, and he could look at her openly, she was going to send him away to write a script?
This woman was too unromantic.
Or was it that Zhan Bei Jue had no charm?
Zhan Bei Jue raised an eyebrow and stood up with a decisive stride.
"You're sending me back so late?"
"I have to pick them up early tomorrow morning. Running back and forth all day, won't I get tired?"
Of course, he would be tired. Anyone would be tired.
Jiang Nan Fang looked at him.
"Then you don't have to pick them up tomorrow. I'll take them to school directly."
"Anyway, I don't have to clock in, and Xu Yan Chuan won't say anything if I'm a little late."
Why was she playing dumb?
She was so smart, couldn't she tell what he meant?
Zhan Bei Jue was so angry he stepped over the coffee table and sat opposite her.
"What? Are you still angry with me? You just don't want to see me that much?"
Jiang Nan Fang looked at his heroic and handsome features and listened to his sexy and slightly teasing tone.
Goosebumps rose on her skin for no reason.
"Zhan Bei Jue, can you speak properly? Don't try to flirt like Zhou Jin Xiu."
"You're not good at flirting, and it doesn't suit you. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Zhan Bei Jue was furious with her.
He sat down to talk to her nicely, and she kept mentioning Xu Yan Chuan or Zhou Jin Xiu. What did that mean?
"Can't you change your old habit? Can't you speak without mentioning other men?"
"Do you just like hearing me scold you? Do you feel uncomfortable if I don't scold you every day?"
"If you mention them in front of me again, I'll drive them all out of Nan Cheng!"
That's more like it.
This tone of speaking was more like Zhan Bei Jue.
Jiang Nan Fang felt much more comfortable.
"Yes, yes, speak like this."
"..."
Does this woman have a problem?
She can't stand him speaking nicely, and she wants him to scold her every day?
Zhan Bei Jue reached out and flicked her forehead.
"No writing scripts. I'm not leaving tonight, hurry up and take a shower... Where will we sleep later?"
What did he mean by not leaving, hurry up and shower, and where would they sleep later?
It was as if they were a couple. Was he naturally going to...
This was the first time he had said something so frankly, and Jiang Nan Fang's face immediately turned red.
"What? You want to sleep with me tonight?"
"Don't you like sleeping with me the most?"
"Today, no medicine, no alcohol, I'll fulfill you openly, are you happy?"
Recalling her past boldness, Jiang Nan Fang's face turned even redder.
Seeing her fidgeting, showing a bit of her girlish side, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but smile.
"Alright. We have four children, we're an old couple, don't be shy with me."
"Or do you want to go to the bathroom with me?"
Jiang Nan Fang was so embarrassed by his words.
She covered her face with her hands, cursed him for being thick-skinned, and got up to run away.
Watching her flee in disarray, and thinking of the four lively and adorable children sleeping in the house.
Zhan Bei Jue was satisfied.
If Tang Xue Ying hadn't interfered, perhaps he would have experienced this happiness six years ago.
He would never forgive this audacious woman.
Just as he was fantasizing about staying the night and "repairing" their relationship with Jiang Nan Fang.
As soon as Jiang Nan Fang left, his phone rang.
He pulled it out and saw it was Ah Zhong.
"President Zhan, where are you? Something has happened at the hospital."
When Zhan Bei Jue arrived at the hospital, the area downstairs was already surrounded by dense crowds.
The media had also arrived.
Everyone was holding their phones, filming the person on the verge of falling from the building.
A psychological counselor was shouting into a microphone in the open space in front of the building.
Some firefighters were laying out air cushions to catch people, while others were climbing to the rooftop.
It was a grand scene, like filming a movie.
He didn't expect Gong Bei Bei to be so extreme.
It had only been two hours since he left, and things had turned into this.
It was indeed the right decision not to get engaged to her.
Marrying such an ungrateful woman would bring endless trouble.
Ah Zhong saw his car approaching and hurried to meet him.
They stood by the car, looking up.
Ah Zhong looked worried.
"President Zhan, the matter has escalated so much. Announcing the cancellation of the engagement tomorrow might make people feel... What should we do?"
Uncle Gong took the money but didn't deliver.
Gong Bei Bei, knowing he didn't like her, insisted on joining the Zhan family.
Zhan Bei Jue truly hated being threatened.
Especially after he had just learned that Tang Xue Ying had tricked him.
He would not be manipulated by anyone anymore.
"Go and investigate the financial flow of the Gong family in the past two years and Gong Bei Bei's social situation."
"I gave them a chance for a dignified exit, but they insisted on making a scene. Then don't blame me for being impolite."
A doctor, especially a famous one, would inevitably be sought after privately.
He didn't believe he couldn't find any leverage against Uncle Gong.
Ah Zhong took the order and hurried away to handle it.
The staff were telling Gong Bei Bei not to get agitated, to tell them her demands, and they promised to fulfill them all.
Gong Bei Bei knew that cameras were pointed at her, and she shouted to Zhan Bei Jue from a distance.
"I want to see someone. If you are at the scene right now, or if you see me elsewhere, call me immediately. I am waiting for you."
"As long as you tell me to come down, I will come down immediately. I will listen to no one but you."
This was a blatant threat.
If he didn't marry her, she would threaten suicide. If something else didn't go her way in the future, wouldn't she resort to murder and arson?
Zhan Bei Jue snorted coldly and got back into the car expressionlessly.
Zhan Bei Jue did not appear for a long time, nor did he call. The situation remained at a stalemate.
Soon, an hour passed.
Ah Zhong called to report.
"President Zhan, there has been a major discovery. The Gong family seems to be bankrupt. They have sold multiple properties domestically and internationally in the past two years."
"Currently, they have no real estate under their name, and their accounts are empty. Dr. Gong's position at the hospital is also honorary."
Gong Bei Bei, swaying precariously on the edge of the rooftop, continued to confront the firefighters with all her might.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, her phone rang.
She answered with a surprised joy, only to hear a voice from hell.
"Not exposing certain things was the last bit of dignity I left for you."
"While I still have a shred of patience, come down yourself."
