Su Wanwan did not expect to run into Pei Muniang and Xi Zhiwei here, she knew that the two of them had been getting close recently, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, only knowing from the newspapers.

  But what was reported in the newspaper was generally exaggerated, so she only believed thirty percent of it and questioned seventy percent.

  But seeing what was in front of her now, she knew she had been too optimistic.

  Although Pei Muniang and Xi Zhiwei didn't have any intimate actions, Xi Zhiwei was sitting so ambiguously close to him. No matter how you look at it, it's not right! He's a married man, how can he allow another woman to get so close to him?!

  Su Wanwan's hands suddenly clenched into fists, her eyes dimming.

  The problem between her and Pei Mochen has not been resolved yet, and Xi Zhiwei is still eyeing them covetously on the side. If Pei Mochen were to be tempted by Xi Zhiwei, wouldn't that mean she would have no chance with him at all?

  Su Wan really wanted to rush in and separate the two of them, she had every right to do so, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to lift them up.

  Because of this... she is afraid.

  Before, she was fearless because she thought Pei Mochen had feelings for her, so she dared to express her emotions boldly and do what she wanted in her heart. But now... the words Pei Mochen said to her yesterday still echoed in her ears, and she was suddenly trapped by his words again, unable to move.

  If she still does whatever she wants like before, will Pei Mochen divorce her?

  She used to be fearless of divorce, even wanting to escape this marriage at one point. Now she's starting to get scared, scared of divorcing him, scared of separating from him.

  Su Wan's footsteps unconsciously retreated step by step, until she could no longer see Pei Mu Nian and Xi Zhi Wei. She leaned against the wall, her eyes dim and unclear, her heart aching with each beat, while also hating this useless self of hers.

  She really couldn't have imagined that one day she would choose to turn a blind eye to such things out of fear.

  Su Wanwan suppressed all her heartache and forced herself to turn around and walk back to her own room.

  Su Wanwan forced a smile and finished discussing business with the guest. After the guest left, she should have settled the bill and left as well. However, her gaze fell on the wine bottle on the table. She picked it up and, without pouring it into a cup, directly lifted the bottle to her mouth and gulped down the liquor.

  When guests were present, she drank with great restraint and would not get drunk. Now that the guests have left, she can let herself go and drink freely.

  Su Wanwan actually didn't like drinking, because when she got drunk, it seemed that she would always do things that made her regretful, such as that night three years ago, and also the night she walked into the wrong room.

  But... only wine can make her temporarily forget all her troubles, make her stop thinking about things related to Pei Mochen, and briefly escape from reality.

  Anyway, she's alone here tonight, even if she gets drunk, she won't do anything out of line...

  Su Wanwan closed her eyes and gulped down the liquor, finishing one bottle before reaching for a second.

  -

  Pei Mu Nian had a dinner engagement tonight. Because he was in a bad mood, he drank a bit too much and leaned against the sofa to take a nap.

  Xi Zhiwei didn't know when she sat down beside him, seeing him like this, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes were filled with worry. "Muni Ge, why did you drink so much wine? Is everything okay?"
