Ling Yichen, upon hearing Shi Niannian's words, saw the smile vanish from his face, as the corners of his mouth drooped and his gaze became obscure.
Ling Yongan also heard Shi Niannian's words, his eyebrows slightly raised with a complex expression.
An Yining frowned, showing some dissatisfaction.
Gu Lin explained to Ling Yichen over the phone, "Niannian has had too much to drink," and then she hung up.
Grandma Ling was somewhat worried, "Chenchen, don't you want to go check on Niannian? It's not good for you two to be apart for so long."
"And," Grandma Ling glanced at An Yining, "do you want your mom to make you some soup?"
"No need!" Ling Yichen's face darkened completely, "I will marry Niannian as soon as possible."

At the Si Family old mansion.
Si Zhendong, after helping Xia Shiying change into her pajamas, was drenched in sweat. He truly regretted letting her drink; Niannian had followed suit, having too much and still not settling down afterwards.
