Li Xingle didn’t leave; he just sat downstairs drinking one sip at a time.

In the past, they didn’t want him, but now that they’re sick, they think of him.

What is he?

An animal that they can call and dismiss at will?

The hall was filled with the smell of alcohol. Li Xingle leaned against the sofa, staring at the ceiling lights.

There was only a cold smile in his eyes, but his chest hurt so much he could hardly breathe.

"Your illness just recovered, it’s not suitable to drink." Li Buyan’s voice suddenly appeared.

He thought he was hallucinating.

"I’ll put it away for you. If you don’t want to go back, you don’t have to." She continued.

She lay in bed for a while, knowing how much he was hurting inside at the moment, so she came down.

If she were in Li Xingle’s situation, she would break down too.

She sat next to him, her soft hand holding his wrist, "If you donate your kidney, what about the happiness you promised me? If you can’t do it in the future, I’m going to mock you!"

In the future, do they even have a future?

She only thought about leaving.

Knowing well those were just words to comfort himself, a glimmer of hope still rose in Li Xingle’s heart.

They have no blood relationship, why wouldn’t there be a future?

The wine glass fell to the ground, and he turned to press her onto the sofa, sealing her with a kiss filled with the scent of alcohol.

They spent every day and night together, not saying a word, unable to touch or hold each other; he’d already had enough.

Li Buyan, you brought this on yourself!

The butler walked in and immediately saw the two entangled on the sofa, covered his eyes with his hands, and quickly retreated.

Is the sir and madam finally reconciled?

They’re so passionate even on the sofa!

Madam is pregnant!

The sir should take it easy!

"Mmm..." Li Buyan’s cheeks were red, she hadn’t drunk, yet she felt drunk.

"No..."

She closed her eyes tightly, "I can’t..."

Li Xingle knew well she couldn’t, despite his desires, he had to hold back.

He slowly let her go and picked up the wine bottle again to drink.

Li Buyan, seeing his desolate look, snatched the wine bottle from him, "The baby definitely doesn’t want to see their dad become an alcoholic!"

Baby?

Li Xingle looked at her flat belly, leaned over, and touched it with a silly smile, "Baby, it’s daddy..."

"Daddy is here..." He slowly placed his face on her belly, "Baby, do you like living in here? Is it comfortable inside?"

Li Buyan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, what is this nonsense?

Could it live anywhere else?

"Baby, will you like daddy? Daddy’s so cool, you’ll definitely like him!" His cheek moved, "Baby’s so well-behaved, not moving at all."

"He can’t move yet." Li Buyan softly said.

Li Xingle suddenly got up and walked out without a word.

"Where are you going!" Li Buyan got up and chased after him, "You just drank. It’s my fault about Uncle, I didn’t make myself clear. The way he treated you back then, you have every right not to donate your kidney; it’s not your fault!"

"Whether I’m at fault, I know myself, I don’t need you to judge!"

Li Xingle left.

He didn’t come back.

The vast estate, the pitch-dark night, the empty room, the soft bed, she was alone, lost in solitude.

——

Ye Gushen received important news, and compared to delivering this message, he felt it was more important to send Tang Suiyu away first.

In the darkness of night, Tang Suiyu was alone in the room; she didn’t know what task Ye Gushen had to go on tonight.

Ye Gushen wouldn’t let her know, saying it was to ensure her safety.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from outside.
