Nan Xiyan first reached out with her fingertip to check it, then suddenly let out a scream.
“Ah?!”
Immediately after, she covered her nose and ran off.
Nan Shiyi secretly rejoiced, but on the surface he still acted confused and innocent, staring wide-eyed.
“Daddy, is Mommy’s nose injured?”
Truly, ugly people really do make trouble.
Quan Yuchen already regretted coming to this meal. He picked up his glass with his long, well-defined fingers and took a sip of water.
“She’s fine. Don’t mind her.”
“Oh… Daddy, do you think Mommy is very troublesome? Men usually like gentle, kind, and understanding women, right?”
Nan Shiyi began subtly planting Nan Wanwan’s image into his mind.
“Quan Ziting, when did you become so talkative?”
Quan Yuchen frowned. The boy seemed almost like a different person.
Nan Shiyi quickly lowered his head and drank water. He blamed himself for being too impatient—this kind of thing needed to be done gradually, step by step.
Fortunately, Nan Xiyan quickly fixed herself and returned. Seeing her “shield” arrive, Nan Shiyi immediately called out.
“Mommy is back.”
Nan Xiyan also brought a bottle of red wine. Seeing both the man and child looking at her, her eyes flickered uncomfortably.
Her freshly reapplied red lips curved into a smile.
“Yuchen, I just went to get a bottle of wine. How can my birthday be without wine? Have a drink with me.”
“Troublesome. I’m not drinking.”
“Come on~ Yuchen, it’s only once a year. Just treat it as wishing me a happy birthday—have a drink.”
Nan Xiyan poured a glass and handed it to him, then poured one for herself.
But Nan Shiyi had not forgotten her real intention. She clearly wanted to drug Daddy and make him lose control so she could carry out her scheme.
“Daddy needs to drive. It’s not convenient to drink,” he said quickly.
“There’s a driver. Yuchen doesn’t need to drive,” Nan Xiyan shot him a sharp glare, warning him to shut up.
But Nan Shiyi was not someone who could be intimidated so easily.
He stepped forward and stood beside Quan Yuchen, puffing his cheeks.
“Alcohol is bad for the body, and it makes people mess up things easily. Mommy, you should care about Daddy.”
“Baby!” Nan Xiyan almost ground her teeth to dust, her eyes bulging with veins showing.
“Today is Mommy’s birthday. Don’t you want Mommy to be happy? Besides, there’s a hotel upstairs—we can just stay here even if we get drunk.”
“Daddy, there’s a bug!”
Nan Shiyi suddenly leaned forward and secretly nudged the table. The wine glass tipped over and shattered on the floor.
He trembled in panic and looked up at Quan Yuchen with tearful eyes, immediately switching into his “apology and cute begging” mode.
“Daddy… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. But I think I ruined everything and made Mommy’s birthday unhappy…”
The server rushed over upon hearing the sound and began cleaning up.
Nan Xiyan clenched her fists in anger—her newly done nails almost broke.
“Ziting! What are you doing? Where did all the manners I taught you go?!”
Nan Shiyi hid behind Quan Yuchen, looking obedient on the surface, but inside he was already laughing wildly.
Hehe, I did it on purpose. Are you mad?
Quan Yuchen’s expression darkened completely. He said coldly,
“That’s enough. Stop it.”
Nan Xiyan had gone too far today, pushing Quan Yuchen to the point of absolute intolerance.
She did not dare push further and quickly said a few soothing words, finally calming his anger.
At that moment, a server pushed a dessert cart over. Nan Shiyi immediately spotted the cake on it, and just thinking of such a beautiful cake being given to the bad woman made him sulk and rest his chin on his hand.
But unexpectedly, the server turned at the intersection and walked toward the neighboring table—toward Nan Wanwan.
