As Ke Teng finished speaking, Jiang Nan Fang's phone received another message.
It was a voice message.
She turned on the speaker, and the noisy voices of children filled the air.
"Mommy, you're finally back! We're all waiting for you to come back and sleep!"
"How much longer until you get here? Should we come down and pick you up? We miss you so much, Mommy. Do you miss us?"
Everyone in the car heard the voice message clearly.
Ke Teng's expression was priceless.
"Who was just speaking? Why are there children's voices? Who is Mommy? You? You already have children?"
Jiang Nan Fang happily turned off her phone.
"Yes, not only do I have them, but I have four. What do you think? Scared you?"
Ke Teng looked her up and down, disbelief etched on his face.
"I don't believe it. With your petite frame, you've already had four! Why don't you say you're a grandmother and have grandchildren?"
Don't believe it?
Why can't I have four?
Jiang Nan Fang picked up her phone again and made a video call to Zhan Bei Jue.
A moment later, it connected.
The children's beautiful little faces crowded in front of the camera, calling out "Mommy, Mommy."
Jiang Nan Fang showed the phone to Ke Teng, who was stunned.
She really had four children, and they were identical quadruplets.
This woman was too amazing; you couldn't tell at all!
Jiang Nan Fang told the children she would be home soon and hung up the video call, thinking Ke Teng would finally shut up.
However, after a two-second pause, he started grinning cheekily again.
"What a coincidence. I happen to like children too. Are you an unmarried mother, and the children don't have a father? How about I be their stepfather?"
Honestly, as a big male star, why couldn't he show anything better, but instead, he was acting like an idiot.
Jiang Nan Fang wasn't in the mood to joke with him. She sneered, turned her face to the window, and ignored him.
Ke Teng continued to chatter in her ear.
"Really. I do like children. I was an only child growing up, so it was so boring. I love families with many siblings."
"It's lively when there are many people. Can I come to your house later and stay with them for a while? These children are too good-looking."
Amidst his incessant chatter, Jiang Nan Fang arrived at the entrance of the residential complex.
To her surprise, Zhan Bei Jue was personally waiting for her by the roadside.
Seeing Jiang Nan Fang's face, Zhan Bei Jue stretched out his hand towards her from a distance.
Jiang Nan Fang got out of the car, took his arm, and turned to say goodbye to Ke Teng.
"Thank you for sending me back. This is the father of my children. Goodbye, drive carefully."
Ke Teng and Zhan Bei Jue made eye contact.
Even though the man in the car looked like a very young man at first glance, Zhan Bei Jue still felt a pang of jealousy.
As a man, he could clearly see the undisguised admiration and desire in his eyes for Jiang Nan Fang.
Zhan Bei Jue thought: He knows she's my woman, Zhan Bei Jue's woman, and he still dares to have designs on her. This kid has some nerve.
The two walked back hand in hand.
On the way, Zhan Bei Jue asked who had just driven her back.
Jiang Nan Fang said frankly, "Ke Teng, Xu Yan Chuan's cousin. I mentioned him to you before, he's the male lead in our movie."
Surname Ke?
Zhan Bei Jue remembered this person's name.
He would have Ah Zhong investigate this guy's background thoroughly later.
He didn't seem like an ordinary minor celebrity.
He was so flamboyant and confident.
Perhaps he was some young master playing around in the entertainment industry with his family's money.
Upon returning home, after spending some time playing with the children and tucking them into bed, they washed up and returned to their room together.
Zhan Bei Jue was still feeling jealous about what happened earlier.
"Does that puppy have a crush on you?"
"What puppy?"
Jiang Nan Fang didn't immediately understand what he was talking about.
Zhan Bei Jue said, "Isn't that what they call them outside now? Men younger than you are called puppies, and women like them."
"You mean Ke Teng. He's a puppy? The other day, I was almost bitten to death by his Tibetan Mastiff; he's more like a mad dog."
She accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Zhan Bei Jue's eyebrows furrowed.
"The other day you said you were bitten by a dog, and it was his dog? What exactly happened?"
Since she had already let it slip, Jiang Nan Fang had no choice but to tell him about that day.
Zhan Bei Jue's conviction immediately grew stronger.
Does the surname Ke have influence in Nan Cheng or not?
In his memory, there was only one in Shang Cheng.
Could this guy really be related to that person?
Although Jiang Nan Fang had done nothing wrong, Zhan Bei Jue still felt a surge of jealousy and a desire to punish him.
Unable to sleep, he held Jiang Nan Fang tightly in his arms.
"I've already arranged the children's summer camp. Don't forget the trip you promised me."
"Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to ride in that mad dog's car anymore. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
Jiang Nan Fang had a busy day, filming and writing scripts, and was exhausted.
Drowsily, she agreed, "Okay. I'll listen to you about everything. You arrange it however you want."
Who knew that Ah Zhong would have an accident that very night, and he couldn't be found the next day.
The investigation into Ke Teng had to be temporarily shelved.
Zhou Jin Bei, bored, insisted on going to the company with Ah Zhong.
"I haven't seen my second brother in a long time. I'll go see him. Don't worry, I won't disturb your work."
The two went to Zhan Bei Jue's office together.
Seeing him with Zhou Jin Bei, and that the call was made using her phone, Zhan Bei Jue asked what was going on.
Ah Zhong explained the whole story.
Zhan Bei Jue immediately called Ah Cheng.
Go to Tang Xue Ying's place according to the address Ah Zhong remembered.
Perhaps this woman had already fled upon hearing any news.
She was simply audacious, playing tricks on me, Zhan Bei Jue, time and time again.
When I catch her, I'll make her wish she were dead!
It was almost time to get off work, and there was nothing urgent to do. Ah Zhong had personal matters to attend to, so Zhan Bei Jue let him leave early.
Ah Zhong drove Zhou Jin Bei's car to the business hall to replace his lost SIM card and bought a new phone.
Then he drove to his girlfriend's company.
It happened to be the end of the workday.
Ah Zhong had specifically bought a bouquet of flowers and waited downstairs.
Soon, his girlfriend came out.
Seeing Ah Zhong from a distance, she acted as if she didn't see him, striding past him.
Ah Zhong quickly went up to explain and ask for her forgiveness.
However, his girlfriend's attitude this time was more resolute than ever.
"Zhong Jia Ming, I've been with you for so many years. Ask yourself, how much time do you actually spend with me?"
"Every day, besides working overtime, you have last-minute things to deal with. Why are you always so busy?"
"Everyone has someone to accompany them during holidays, but I don't. Every time I need you, you're not there. I don't know if you're really that busy or if you're lying to me!"
"I don't want to continue this anymore. Since you don't have time for a relationship, then let's not have one. We're breaking up!"
