After the banquet, a slender figure was seen curled up on the sofa.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't know how she fell asleep. When she woke up, she saw Zhan Yan reading documents carefully beside her. His eyes, as deep as ink, emitted a biting gaze from time to time.

"Awake." Zhan Yan felt Mingyue woke up without even looking at her.

Zhuang Mingyue smiled slightly and stretched lazily, thinking that she felt sleepy because she had expended too much energy in the morning, so she might as well take advantage of the time just now to make up for it.

"How long have I slept?" Zhuang Mingyue was worried that sleeping too much would affect her sleep at night.

Zhan Yan glanced at the watch on his wrist, "Less than an hour."

Zhuang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she managed her time quite well. She didn't know whether Mai had got off the plane. She quickly picked up her phone to check, but there was no message.

After thinking carefully, Zhuang Mingyue remembered that it was still early for Mai's flight today.

Feeling a little dizzy, Zhuang Mingyue simply lay on Zhan Yan's legs with her eyes slightly closed, thinking of resting her mind, but she fell asleep again without thinking.

Zhan Yan felt that Zhuang Mingyue's symptoms were not right, so he called a doctor when she woke up. Fortunately, after the examination, the doctor just said that she was too tired recently.

"Too tired?" Zhuang Mingyue was even more surprised than Zhan Yan. She had spent more time painting recently, but she shouldn't be that exhausted, right?

Zhan Yan frowned, and Zhuang Mingyue quickly explained, "Maybe I just haven't slept well recently."

“What do you mean?” Zhan Yan felt that the problem was bigger because he didn’t sleep well. Poor sleep might be a mental or physical problem.

Zhuang Mingyue quickly shook her head, "No, it's just..."

Now Zhuang Mingyue felt that she couldn't explain herself clearly, so she had to keep silent.

Zhan Yan had more and more doubts in his heart. He could see that Mingyue was a little confused, as if she was hiding something.

Zhuang Mingyue clenched her hands nervously. She clearly hadn't done anything wrong, but she was very anxious even though it wasn't the time to speak out!

Zhan Yan originally wanted to continue asking, but seeing Mingyue's current expression, he didn't ask any more.

The two were silent for a while. Zhuang Mingyue took the initiative to hold Zhan Yan's arm, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

Not wanting Mingyue to feel so uneasy, Zhan Yan pulled her back and said, "I don't mean to blame you."

In order not to put too much psychological pressure on Mingyue, Zhan Yan deliberately appeared nonchalant.

It wasn't until dinner time that Mai called, "Mingyue, the plane is delayed. I just met with the organizer. I'll tell you after dinner."

Zhuang Mingyue wanted to ask something else, but she heard Mai hurriedly say, "It's coming, it's coming. Mingyue, I won't tell you anything for now."

There was a hurried busy tone from the phone. Zhuang Mingyue was well aware of Mai's impetuous personality.

Before the banquet was over, Zhuang Mingyue left, picked up Xiao Xingxing and went to find Mrs. Fan.

Mrs. Fan doesn't have to take care of her grandson recently, and she felt really embarrassed last time, so she made an appointment with Zhuang Mingyue for dinner today. In fact, she also invited Zhan Yan, but Mingyue deliberately did not convey the message.

"He's busy!" Zhuang Mingyue picked up the menu in front of her and handed it to Xiao Xingxing, "Baby, take a look at what to eat."

Mrs. Fan said apologetically, "I just asked Mr. Zhan, why did he say he would be here soon?"

Zhuang Mingyue felt as if she was petrified. Fan Taizhen was too real.

Little Xingxing looked at Zhuang Mingyue in confusion, "Mom, aren't you happy that Dad is here?"

Quickly retracting her stunned gaze, Zhuang Mingyue smiled lightly, "Happy, happy..."

Zhan Yan quickly finished the work at hand. He wanted to see why Mingyue was avoiding him.

In the restaurant, Zhuang Mingyue was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Fan, while Xiao Xingxing was doing a puzzle and taking a bite of fruit from time to time.

Lao Fan was supposed to come here today, but he couldn't come because he had a sudden business trip.

Mrs. Fan is a person who can handle a situation well, and she can handle it with ease even when facing three people.

"Mr. Zhan is here." Mrs. Fan reminded Zhuang Mingyue.

The smile on Zhuang Mingyue's face disappeared and turned into a bitter smile. What was coming finally came.

Zhan Yan sat down next to Zhuang Mingyue, without showing any unusual expression.

The meal went smoothly, but Zhan Yan didn't say much. It was Zhuang Mingyue and Mrs. Fan who chatted casually.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when I received Mai's call.

Zhuang Mingyue could hardly open her eyes, but she became more awake after hearing Mai Yi's voice.

"Mingyue, I'm drunk..."

Hearing the drunken voice of Mai on the phone, Zhuang Mingyue felt nervous, "Isn't Ai Wen with you?"

When it comes to Ivan, Mai was silent for a long time before she smiled bitterly, "We had a quarrel."

After asking about the specific location, Zhuang Mingyue prepared to pick up Mai to live at her home, and Zhan Yan, who heard the noise, also came over.

Knowing that Mai Yi would come back today, Zhan Yan had been paying attention to Ming Yue's reaction. Now seeing her sleepy and trying hard to go out, he knew it must be related to Mai Yi.

Zhuang Mingyue originally wanted to ask the driver to take her there, but the driver was probably asleep at this time, so she could only tell Zhan Yan the truth, "Mai is drunk, I'll go pick her up."

Mai has always been able to hold her liquor, so if she really drank too much, it only meant that something was wrong with her.

Zhan Yan drove Zhuang Mingyue to the Silica Bar where Mai was.

The noisy environment in the bar gave Zhuang Mingyue a headache, but for Maiyi's sake she still stared at the discomfort and started searching.

It was Zhan Yan who was quick-eyed and saw Mai first, who was drunk like a puddle of mud, and went to find Zhuang Mingyue to help her up.

It was too noisy in the bar just now, and Zhuang Mingyue didn't have time to talk to Mai Yi. Now seeing that she was still half awake, she tentatively called out, "Mai Yi?"

Unexpectedly, Mai responded, "Mingyue, I'm here..."

Zhuang Mingyue went to hold Mai Yi, patted her back twice, and asked with concern, "Mai Yi, are you okay?"

After asking several times, Mai didn't give any response. Zhuang Mingyue looked at Zhan Yan anxiously, wondering whether she should call Ivan to ask about the situation.

After sending Mai to the guest room at home and settling her down, he grabbed Zhan Yan and said, "I feel something is wrong with Mai. Do you think there is something wrong with her relationship with Aiwen?"

Hearing Mai talking about her and Ivan being together, Zhuang Mingyue was happy for them from the bottom of her heart. However, a conflict arose not long after, and as a friend, Zhuang Mingyue was really worried.

Zhan Yan knew how important Mingyue thought of Mai, and patted her shoulder soothingly, "Don't think too much, it's normal for couples to quarrel."

Zhuang Mingyue could only comfort herself and wait until the next day to see how Mai was doing!

Mai slept until ten o'clock in the morning, then she got up to wash up, feeling her aching head.

Zhuang Mingyue had been sitting downstairs waiting for Mai Yi. When she saw her coming downstairs, she quickly stood up and waved to her.

Mai recounted what happened last night. "I just had a quarrel with Ivan...it wasn't a big deal."

Zhuang Mingyue could feel that Mai was trying to control her emotions, which was rare to see.

Mai was urged to call Ivan, but the two were still awkward. Zhuang Mingyue was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do.

He dragged Mai to Zhan's, and after finding Zhan Yan, he pulled him aside and asked, "The two of them are having a quarrel."

As soon as she heard Zhan Yan's words, she knew Mingyue was talking about Mai and Aiwen. She never wanted to get involved in other people's relationships, but seeing Mingyue was anxious, she could only say, "Ask Aiwen."
