Xu Kai is left alone and humiliated after his friends and girlfriend abandon him following his outburst. He collapses and is taken away by ambulance. Meanwhile, Ye Chen is praised for his calligraphy and asked out by Yang Mimi, much to Su Wanyi's jealousy. Sun Bolin secures a calligraphy piece from Ye Chen, and Yan Peng warns Ye Chen about Xu Kai's potential revenge.

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile.

"Young Master Yan, thank you for the reminder. You should also be careful. Just now, when you increased the bid like that, Xu Kai will surely know we know each other."

"Brother Chen, don’t worry. The Xu Family doesn’t dare do anything to my Yan Family."

Upon hearing Yan Peng’s words, Ye Chen’s mind was put at ease.

He wasn’t worried about Xu Kai’s revenge; he was mainly afraid that Yan Peng would be implicated.

The two people chatted for a bit, and then Ye Chen left.

Of course, Yan Peng didn’t follow him. He knew he had said the wrong thing and felt embarrassed to face Su Wanyi again.

When Ye Chen walked out, he didn’t see Su Wanyi at the door.

He walked towards the parking lot, seeing Su Wanyi already sitting in the car.

This behavior of Su Wanyi clearly showed that she was angry.

"Honey, don’t misunderstand, it’s just that Yan Peng didn’t mean it."

Ye Chen hurriedly explained, not only for Yan Peng but also for himself.

"Ye Chen, I can ignore what Yan Peng said, but what I saw with my own eyes must be true, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Su Wanyi in confusion. It seemed that he hadn’t done anything during the banquet.

Seeing her boyfriend not speaking, Su Wanyi continued to speak.

"Ye Chen, since you don’t understand, let me remind you. Just now, what was the relationship between you and those two beautiful women that you were chatting so happily in front of me?"

With this reminder from Su Wanyi, Ye Chen suddenly realized.

"Honey, you’re talking about Shiyin and Mimi."

After saying this, he felt Su Wanyi’s angry gaze.

"It seems that your relationship with them is really not simple, considering how intimately you called them in front of me."

Ye Chen nervously shrank his neck and said.

"Honey, it’s not what you think. Lin Shiyin, Yang Mimi, and I are just ordinary friends."

"Lin Shiyin is the vice president of the Calligraphy Association. She insisted I join the Calligraphy Association before, and she also helped me out before. Reasonably speaking, I should join, right?"

"Yang Mimi was someone I knew before meeting you. It was because of my help that she became popular. However, we haven’t been in touch for a long time, and just now you should have heard our conversation."

Ye Chen explained truthfully.

Seeing Ye Chen’s sincerity, Su Wanyi felt she might have overthought.

She wasn’t usually like this, but today, seeing Ye Chen chatting with beautiful women made her uncomfortable.

Ye Chen, of course, knew the reason behind this; it was because Su Wanyi saw his first love, which made her behave this way.

"Honey, now you should believe me. We’re just ordinary friends. If you don’t like me calling them that, I can just call them by their names."

Seeing Su Wanyi not speaking, Ye Chen hurriedly continued.

"Alright, I’m not that unreasonable. You can call them whatever you like."

Hearing this, Ye Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knew Su Wanyi had forgiven him.

"Wanyi, thank you for trusting me."

Ye Chen said happily like a child.

Then Su Wanyi seemed to remember something and suddenly asked.

"Honey, I don’t remember you knowing calligraphy. When did you learn it? I’ve never seen you practice."

Hearing this, Ye Chen replied calmly.

"Honey, that’s just my hobby. Sometimes when I’m bored at home, I practice a bit. Also, you’re not at home during the day, so you wouldn’t know about this."

Ye Chen’s answer was flawless, without a single flaw.

Su Wanyi thought for a moment. Indeed, she was busy at the company during the day.

How could she know what Ye Chen did at home, like practicing calligraphy?

"But you’re really amazing, self-taught and all."

Su Wanyi praised with a smile.

"That’s right, your husband is just that amazing."

Ye Chen began to brag about himself.

The atmosphere in the car had relaxed a lot, and the two of them were chatting and laughing again.

"Honey, you didn’t see Xu Kai’s face turn green when he found out it was you who wrote that piece. You even infuriated him further by asking him to say a few words."

Ye Chen laughed and said.

"Xu Kai was like eating bitter fruit in silence."

He also saw Xu Kai’s ugly expression on stage just now, but it was all Xu Kai’s own doing.

In the hospital, Xu Kai lay on the bed, clutching his chest, still feeling uncomfortable.

Standing by his side was a middle-aged man, looking anxiously and asking.

"Kai’er, what’s wrong with you? Weren’t you attending an auction? How did you end up being sent to the hospital?"

This middle-aged man was none other than Xu Kai’s father, Xu Guangming, who was known for doting on his children.

Though his name had the word ’bright’, he always schemed in the dark.

Just now, Xu Guangming was at the company. After receiving a call from the hospital, he rushed over quickly.

Seeing Xu Kai lying on the bed made him extremely angry inside.

Just earlier, his son had called to say he was attending an auction to make him proud as a father.

But when they met, Xu Kai was lying on a hospital bed.

"Dad, I want to tear that Ye boy into pieces."

Xu Kai said, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Xu Guangming turned pale with fear, not knowing what illness had befallen his son.

"Doctor, what’s wrong with my son?"

"Master Xu, you don’t need to worry. Young Master Xu is not in danger. It’s just that his vital energy is stagnant, leading to this condition."

Hearing this, Xu Guangming relaxed his tense nerves. Xu Kai was his only son, after all.

If anything happened to Xu Kai, he felt he couldn’t go on living either.

Moreover, this matter couldn’t be told to his wife. If Xu Kai’s mother found out, there would be no peace for him for days.

"So you’re saying my son is sick from anger?"

Xu Guangming looked at the doctor and said.

"Yes, Master Xu, Young Master Xu is agitated, and now he cannot endure any more stimulation or anger; otherwise, he might cough up blood again."

The doctor kindly reminded him.

"Alright, I understand. You all can leave now. I want to have a private chat with my son."

These medical staff didn’t want to stay here anyway. Firstly, Xu Kai had too many problems, feeling uncomfortable now and then, causing headaches for the doctors. Secondly, seeing Master Xu’s unpleasant demeanor, they feared being implicated.

Upon hearing Master’s Xu words, the doctors and nurses quickly exited.

Now the only ones left in the ward were father and son, with Xu Guangming looking at his son with a heart full of pity.
