\”How much does this bottle of liquor cost?\”
\”More than five million dollars.\”
Fang Erlan gaped in shock. \”That's so expensive. You don't go to work at all. Where did you get all that money from? Don't tell me…\”
Having immediately guessed what she was thinking, he humphed and clarified, \”I didn't steal it.\”
She chuckled and asked, \”Where did you get that money from, then?\”
\”I'll naturally tell you everything about me once you become my wife.\”
\”Psht…\” Fang Erlan raised her glass and took another few sips. No wonder it tasted so good. It turned out it's so expensive.
After finishing her glass, she proceeded to pour herself another.
Xiao Chenyang stopped drinking after having one glass and got onto the bed slowly.
Staring at the scene taking place on the television screen, Fang Erlan sensed that something was amiss and asked, \”What kind of film is this?\”
\”A romantic one.\”
\”A romantic film? If that's the case, why did they start kissing right after they met…?\” Fang Erlan said apprehensively.
\”Perhaps they're just following the storyline.\”
Fang Erlan finished her second and last glass of liquor.
She leaned back against the headboard and felt a sudden urge to switch off the television the moment she saw the passionate kissing scene taking place in the film.
She initially thought that the film would become more normal and appropriate after the opening. To her astonishment, it simply got worse and racier the further the plot developed. She got out of bed without hesitation and switched off the television. The instant she saw the title of the film that was printed on the disc, she turned red with embarrassment and glowered at Xiao Chenyang. \”You're shameless and despicable!\”
\”How so?\”
\”How is this a romance film? It's obviously a…\”
\”Obviously a what? We're both adults, what's wrong with watching that?\” he said with a grin.
Fang Erlan ignored him and lay down on the bed. \”I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed now,\” she said.
\”Yes,\” he answered.

\”Why are you back at such a late hour? It's already three in the morning. Do you even know what it means to be time-conscious?\” Bu Xianxian rebuked, glaring at Shi Shaochuan angrily.
\”Why aren't you asleep yet?\”
\”I was waiting for you. I tried to call you so many times, why didn't you pick up?\”
\”I left my mobile phone in the family mansion.\”
Staring at him solemnly, Bu Xianxian said, \”Shaochuan, I have something to talk to you about.\”
\”What's the matter?\”
\”If you still want to keep the baby after hearing what I have to say, I'll pretend that I never said anything,\” she said while taking a seat on the edge of the bed.
Seeing how strangely serious she was, Shi Shaochuan asked, \”What is it?\”
\”Have a look at this,\” she said, handing him the photos of her hideous self from the past.
Shi Shaochuan grabbed the photo and took a look at it before asking, \”Who's this?\”
\”It's me.\”
