The rest of the time, they sat together and drank happily.

The few of them drank a lot.

Chu Jing restrained himself from drinking too much. In the end, when he left, he felt like he was walking on air.

Ji Fengmian had never practiced his alcohol tolerance. He had sneaked away a few times, but he was still drunk.

As for Shen Defan, he was completely drunk.

Ji Fengmian asked Chu Jing to help him to the hotel.

Regardless of whether she was an idiot or not, she had to build a good relationship with her. The luxurious suite in the hotel was used by her to express her sincerity.

The reason why people called Shen Defan an idiot was because he was soft-hearted.

To build a good relationship with him, he would do anything.

This was actually worth praising.

No matter how strong his mother was, the company would eventually be handed over to him.

She wondered if she had drunk too much or if she was carsick.

On the way to the hotel, Ji Fengmian felt nauseous. When she finally reached the hotel, the first thing she did was to open the car door and rush out. She squatted by the roadside and vomited.

"Are you okay?"

Chu Jing pulled Shen Defan out of the car and looked at Ji Fengmian.

Ji Fengmian waved at him. "You guys go in first. I'll go back later."

Chu Jing replied, "Don't go back tonight. Just book two more rooms and stay here."

"Yes…"

Ji Fengmian felt that he couldn't take it anymore. This wine wasn't good.

When she was done vomiting, Ji Fengmian straightened her body and wiped her mouth. She walked to the hotel lobby and asked for a glass of water. After rinsing her mouth, she returned to the lounge area and leaned on the table.

With a splitting headache, she sat down and didn't want to stand up, afraid that the world would spin.

Chu Boyang returned to the hotel alone. When he checked in, he saw a figure lying on the table in the rest area.

Familiar, he was all too familiar.

She staggered over and saw Ji Fengmian lying there with a red face. She reached out to touch her face.

"Mian… Mian…"

The receptionist brought his ID over and looked at them suspiciously and warily.

"Sir, do you know each other?"

Chu Boyang smiled. "Yes, she's… my girlfriend… the mother of my child…"

The receptionist looked at the young couple in disbelief.

After saying that, Chu Boyang bent down and picked Ji Fengmian up.

Ji Fengmian frowned and glanced at him in confusion.

"Chu Boyan?"

"Yes… It's me…"

She hadn't called his name in a long time.

Chu Boyan couldn't help but plant a kiss on her forehead.

"I'll bring you to rest."

The receptionist took another look at the ID card in her hand. It was the same name as the woman's. She didn't think much of it and handed it to Chu Boyang.

In her daze, Ji Fengmian subconsciously rejected Chu Boyang.

However, her current strength was nothing in front of Chu Boyang.

"Don't touch me…"

Chu Boyang hugged her tightly and leaned against the elevator to kiss the top of her head.

"Mian… You can't leave me… Don't be angry anymore… You can hit me or scold me…"

Ji Fengmian was furious and pushed him harder.

"Let go…"

Chu Boyang pressed his body against hers and kissed her.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from Chu Boyang's grip.

Her head was buzzing and her ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton. Chu Boyang's kiss was scorching hot and the airtight kiss made her gradually lose herself.

They were very familiar with these things. They had a set of tricks up their sleeves.

The third time, Ji Fengmian understood what had happened.

Chu Boyang continued to demand and call her name.

She tried to push him away a few times, but he stopped her in his own way.

She felt as though she had been forcefully pulled into another world.

When it finally ended, the sky outside had already turned green.

Pushing the sleeping man away, Ji Fengmian got off the bed and put on his clothes.

Her legs went weak and she trembled on the ground.

Before leaving, she looked back at Chu Boyang and left the room expressionlessly.

When she opened the door, a figure entered her vision.

The two of them met face to face.

Ji Qing stood outside the corridor. The moment she saw Ji Fengmian, the smile on her face froze. She even covered her stomach and retreated subconsciously.

"Why… are you here?"

Ji Qing glanced at the door number and bit her lip.

Ji Fengmian's gaze swept across her slightly swollen stomach.

"You own this hotel?"

Ji Qing choked. It was obviously impossible.

Ji Fengmian felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't be bothered with her. With that, he walked out with one hand on the wall.

Her clothes were a little messy and there were two buttons on her shirt.

Ji Qing blinked and averted her gaze.

"Have you forgiven him?" Ji Qing suddenly asked.

Ji Fengmian stopped in his tracks and stared at the empty corridor for a long time.

Then, she turned around slowly. Her casual smile was lethal.

"No."

Ji Qing's tense eyes relaxed slightly. "A few days ago, someone was investigating Brother Boyang and found me. If I'm not wrong, he should be Brother Boyang's biological brother. His attitude was very firm and he wanted to bring Brother Boyang back to Country B. I believe Brother Boyang should have met him…

I think going back is the best choice for him. Both of our lives should be shared with our families. They have missed out on many years. Moreover, his family has responsibilities that he needs to bear."

Ji Fengmian looked at her calmly. "So?"

"I don't think he will agree to go back. The only reason is that he can't let you go. You can either forgive him and return to Country B with him, or… since you can't forgive him, don't give him any hope. Stay away from him."

Ji Fengmian narrowed his eyes and stared at the carpet for a long time.

"Are you going back to Country B with him?"

Ji Qing was stunned and didn't answer.

She…

Ever since he asked her if she wanted a child in the hospital three months ago, he had never appeared in front of her.

If that man hadn't investigated her, he probably wouldn't have told her if he had really decided to go back with her.

Ji Fengmian sneered at Ji Qing's silence.

"Although there's no need to tell you more about me and him, I can express my stand to you. I won't forgive him. Never. If you want to be with him, then be with him. But Ji Qing, even if the two of you are together, you won't be happy."

"At the very least, for someone like him, I don't think he can have his own child with another woman in this lifetime. Because of him, he killed his own child with his own hands. He deprived me of the right to be a mother. How can I have the face to be someone else's father? Then, he has to face your child. Who knows what he will think when he sees your child?"

Ji Qing's face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"You…"

"Don't be agitated. This is the truth. Ji Qing, among the three of us, who wants to have a better life than the other?

I do look miserable now, but everything depends on what I think. I can find another man to date, get married, and even have another child because I have a clear conscience. But what about you guys? As long as I don't forgive Chu Boyang, he will feel guilty towards me for the rest of his life. Then, you can only live a painful life."

After she finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her face. It was as if she had just won a battle. It was ironic, ostentatious, and satisfying.

Every word of hers hit Ji Qing's sore spot.

Ji Fengmian understood Chu Boyang and so did she.

What she had just said, she firmly believed that Brother Boyan would really do that.

She had indeed been happy about Brother Boyan's choice.

In order to protect her, he had hurt Ji Fengmian and even caused her to lose her child.

She thought that with Ji Fengmian's personality, he would never get involved with Brother Boyang again.

Ji Fengmian wanted to kick her away from Brother Boyang, but in the end, they had to face a situation where they were strangers.

She felt that this was the best ending.

But Ji Fengmian was right.

She had been hurt, but she and Brother Boyan would suffer for the rest of their lives.

How… ruthless.

"Don't you… love him? Ji Fengmian, how can you bear to…"

"You speak as if I'm the one who caused all of this," Ji Fengmian said calmly. "Did I force you to give up your life, or did I force Chu Boyang to shoot me? Is my love for him the reason why he can hurt me without any qualms? I can love him or not. How can it be so good to want to escape unscathed after causing harm to others?"

"I'm really happy that he found his family. Truth be told, it's best if he can leave with you and live in the same city as you. I feel disgusted every time I think of it."

After saying that, Ji Fengmian turned around and walked to the room next door. He took out his room card and opened the door.

Ji Qing stood rooted to the ground, her face pale and her eyes trembling in panic.

Ji Fengmian's words made her panic.

Even if Brother Boyan really took her away, he would definitely not take care of her like before.

Moreover, Brother Boyang didn't care about her at all.

When Ji Fengmian left, the door wasn't closed. She walked in slowly and closed the door.

The man on the bed was still asleep. His brows were slightly furrowed, but he had no intention of waking up.

The sheets were wrinkled and messy.

What had happened between the man and woman the entire night? She felt suffocated just thinking about it.

She reached out to touch her slightly swollen stomach. She had thought about it a lot in the past few months. Back then, why did Brother Boyang ask her if she wanted the child? Why didn't he visit her after that?

After thinking about it, she could only think of one possibility. He didn't want to care about her anymore.

He was blaming her.

Hence, even if Brother Boyan really wanted to return to Country B, he might not bring her along.

She bit her lower lip and looked at Chu Boyang. Her hand on her stomach gripped the fabric of her shirt tightly.

It had not been easy for her to wait for the day when he and Ji Fengmian parted ways. If she didn't seize this opportunity, when would she have to wait?

She was greedy after all.

She wanted to be with him. She wanted him to be good to her.

He felt guilty towards Ji Fengmian, but would he be trapped by him forever?

'No.'

She didn't want to.

Since she had already come this far, she should work harder for what she wanted.

She couldn't erase Brother Boyang's guilt towards Ji Fengmian. What if Brother Boyang felt guilty towards her?
