But what if he wasn't happy?
Even if Jiang Nan Fang stayed, he was going to be engaged to another woman soon.
She didn't care whether Zhan had done anything for her or if he liked her.
Why keep trying to please him when he was indifferent?
The waiter brought the wine.
Zhan Bei Jue opened the bottle and poured himself a glass first.
"I'll drink this to you. I wish Miss Jiang a smooth journey."
Jiang Nan Fang deliberately put on a show in front of him, maintaining a hesitant, pitiable, and restrained demeanor throughout.
Zhan Bei Jue felt his heart swell with emotion, waves of tenderness washing over him.
At certain moments, his suppressed love overcame his reason, and he even wanted to ignore the two children and focus only on Jiang Nan Fang.
He understood her difficulties, felt her sadness, and wanted to hold her close, to tell her honestly that he didn't dislike her as much as she thought.
If she could keep her distance from those unsavory men, if she could genuinely be good to the children, he was willing to let go of past grievances.
But. These were all just assumptions.
Jiang Nan Fang wasn't just pitiful in front of him.
He knew very well that Jiang Nan Fang, once sober, would not be content to stay at home and be a good wife and mother.
Just like six years ago.
They were destined to be on different paths.
Some words were destined never to be spoken.
With a heavy heart, Zhan Bei Jue drank one and a half of the two bottles of wine by himself.
Jiang Nan Fang didn't even get a chance to get him drunk before he ran out of wine.
Fearing alcohol poisoning if he drank any more, and with over two hours having passed, around nine o'clock, everyone headed back.
Zhan Bei Jue's steps were a bit unsteady, and Jiang Nan Fang had to help him to his room.
Once seated on the sofa, the two children proactively ran to get water.
"Daddy, are you thirsty? Have some water to moisten your throat."
Ge'er also poured a cup for Jiang Nan Fang.
"Mommy, you've worked hard too. Have some water and rest."
After eating hot pot, drinking, and talking nonsense, they were indeed quite thirsty.
They picked up their tea cups and drank them down in one go.
Ten minutes later, they each nestled in a corner of the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
Ge'er, with her tired arms, said to Rui Rui.
"Adults are so hard to coax. We had to give them twenty melatonin pills before they fell asleep."
"Is that too much? Do you think something will happen, brother?"
Rui Rui: "Probably not. It's just a supplement, not poison. At worst, we'll sleep in a bit longer tomorrow."
"That's good then."
"Now it's time to create the sleeping scene. Come on, help me get the blankets."
The two children didn't have the strength to carry them to bed, so they took the blankets from the bed, spread them on the floor, and rolled them onto them.
After a lot of effort, seeing them both sleeping soundly, they covered them with blankets and high-fived happily.
"Let's hope they can put aside their differences after a good night's sleep. Let's go, we should sleep too."
At seven o'clock the next morning, Gong Bei Bei emerged from her room, having tidied herself up.
The weather was good in the morning, and since they were in Bincheng, how could they not go for a walk on the beach?
She planned to ask Zhan Bei Jue to go to the beach after breakfast.
However, when she opened the door, Ah Zhong was already guarding the entrance.
"Good morning, Ah Zhong. Has Ah Jue woken up? I wanted to ask him to go for a walk together."
Ah Zhong: "Mr. Zhan usually wakes up at six in the morning for his morning exercises, so he should be up. But I haven't received any instructions from him today."
"Oh. Then it seems like there's nothing much going on today. You can go back and rest, I'll go in and check."
Gong Bei Bei reached for the doorbell.
Coincidentally, across the hall, Zhou Jin Xiu also opened his door.
Seeing them standing at Zhan Bei Jue's door, he greeted them with a forced smile.
"Yo, sister-in-law, up so early? Didn't you stay with my second brother last night? And I didn't see him accompany you to the event either?"
Zhan Bei Jue strongly disliked Zhou Jin Xiu.
Furthermore, after a few more words were exchanged, Zhan Bei Jue had publicly lost his temper last time.
Gong Bei Bei had learned her lesson and dared not speak to him now.
Besides, speaking so rudely so early in the morning, she couldn't be bothered to respond.
"What's it to you? Mind your own business."
She turned away and pressed the doorbell.
With just one press, the door to Jiang Nan Fang's room also opened.
The two little ones poked their heads out like groundhogs, looking around curiously.
"Hi. Good morning, everyone. Why are you all here? Hasn't my daddy woken up yet?"
Seeing the children suddenly appear, everyone was confused.
"Last night... didn't you stay with Daddy?"
"It's obvious, isn't it? We stayed here last night."
Rui Rui pulled his sister out of the room, closing the door behind them.
"I'm so hungry. Let's get Daddy up to take us to breakfast."
"What are you all standing around for? Why aren't you knocking?"
"..." Zhou Jin Xiu reacted more strongly than anyone else.
After a moment's pause, he rushed over and grabbed Rui Rui.
"Why were you in Jiang Nan Fang's room? You stayed there last night, so where is she?"
"Where is Jiang Nan Fang? Where is Jiang Nan Fang now?"
"I don't know." Rui Rui pretended to be confused and scared, trying to push his hand away. "Let go of me, my uncle, you're hurting me!"
Damn it!
He had calculated everything, but he never expected Zhan Bei Jue to be so scummy!
Traveling all this way for a business trip, in front of so many people and his fiancée, he actually...
If Jiang Nan Fang was fine, it would be one thing, but if anything happened to her, this beast, this scumbag, he would fight him to the death!!
"Open the door!"
As if foreseeing something, he couldn't even be bothered to ring the doorbell anymore. Zhou Jin Xiu began to bang on the door like a madman.
"Zhan Bei Jue, open the door! I know Jiang Nan Fang is in your room!"
"Open the door! You scumbag who preys on your female subordinates! Open the door, I'm here to uphold justice today!"
Ah Zhong, the only one who knew the inside story, finally reacted.
Could it be that Madam and President... again last night?
He quickly stopped Zhou Jin Xiu.
"Mr. Zhou, please don't act like this. Let's talk things through properly. If you wake the President up, it won't be good for anyone. Please don't do this!"
Gong Bei Bei's face turned visibly pale.
She already knew Jiang Nan Fang's true identity and even knew that Zhan Bei Jue had spent a week on vacation with her in Bali.
They had only been here one night, and with the children, she hadn't expected this...
Truly, it's hard to guard against a slut, and she still managed to exploit the situation!
"Ah Jue, open the door!" Zhou Jin Xiu, no longer able to bang on the door, excitedly started patting it frantically.
"What's going on? Are you alright? Ah Jue, we're all waiting for you outside. Open the door!"
"Ah Jue! Ah Jue, don't scare me! Ah Jue, are you in there? Open the door, Ah Jue!"
A commotion erupted at the door.
Just as Zhou Jin Xiu was losing control and was about to find a room card to open the door, the door finally opened.
Zhan Bei Jue, wearing yesterday's clothes, his eyes bloodshot, opened the door just a crack to look at everyone.
"What is it? Everyone's so bored this early in the morning, running to my door and acting crazy?"
"Ah Jue, you... Jiang Nan Fang, she..."
"Does that have anything to do with you? Move aside. If you make any more noise and displease me, you'll face the consequences!"
