After handing the invitation to Lin Jie, Han Wenbin took his leave!

Lin Jie noticed that the invitation specifically mentioned that you could bring a companion!

Even though Lin Miao was a fan of Xiaoxiao, she harbored deep-seated resentment, or even disgust, towards Han Wenbin, and since she didn't care for gatherings, she clearly stated that she wouldn't go.

Li Ting, with her eyes blinking, kept staring at Lin Jie!

Lin Jie flipped through the invitation again and pretended to talk to himself: "It says you can bring a companion, but it doesn't say you have to. Since Miaomiao doesn't want to go, I'll just..."

Li Ting couldn't hold back any longer and snatched the invitation, shouting, "Didn't you see the longing in my eyes? Do I have to spell it out? Do you want me to beg you?"

"I really like Xiaoxiao's new song!"

Lin Jie chuckled, "I didn't want to trouble you with more inconvenience. The invitation specifies formal attire! Formal wear should be a gown, right? Do you have a dress for the occasion?"

"My autumn outfit..."

Just as she started, Li Ting deflated and said, "That's just a casual style, not a cocktail dress... Oh..."

Her eyes brightened again and she laughed, "I almost forgot, since I've slimmed down, I can borrow my cousin's dress! With my stunning figure, I'll look better in her dress than she does, it'll kill her with jealousy!"

Li Ting turned to hug Lin Miao and persuaded, "You should come too. I'll be with you, so you won't be bored or worried..."

"Even though I'm a fan and a bit unhappy about Xiaoxiao's engagement, just like you, considering their relationship was built through hardships, let's generously represent the fans and give them our blessings!"

Lin Miao pouted and said, "You go represent it by yourself. I'm not blessing them; if it were someone else getting engaged, maybe. Xiaoxiao really is a rose in cow dung in this case!"

"Besides, if I were to go, I'd have to buy a gown. That kind of clothing you don't get to wear more than twice a year, and it's ridiculously expensive. Such a waste."

Seeing she truly didn't want to go, Lin Jie and Li Ting didn't press further. After each ate a large bowl of stew, they lazily lay on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.

Around ten, Lin Jie's phone vibrated continuously!

He picked up his phone, saw it was Hu Yuanqing calling, and not wanting to entangle with him anymore, he directly hung up!

However, after a few seconds, Hu Yuanqing called again!

Lin Jie, a bit helpless, picked up the phone and walked to the balcony on the side of the dining room to answer the call!

"Lin Jie, you know, right? The person I loved most died, died on the operating table, died by my hand, just like you once said..."

Hu Yuanqing's voice on the phone was slurred, as if tongue-tied, with a very noisy background sound!

Lin Jie directly asked, "Were you out drinking? And got drunk?"

"Alcohol is a good thing; it helps you forget worries... Smelly woman, go away..." Then a burst of chaotic cursing could be heard from the phone, and the call got cut off!

Finding solace in alcohol, Lin Jie felt a bit disappointed.

Although angry at what Hu Yuanqing said that night, Lin Jie didn't want him to sink into depression, wasting his medical skills. After all, growing from a Medical College student to this level is extremely rare.

Seeing Lin Jie come back looking a bit upset, Lin Miao asked with concern, "Brother, who called? Was it something important?"

"It's Hu Yuanqing; nothing serious, just drunk!" Lin Jie replied plainly!

Li Ting curiously asked, "Aren't doctors strictly prohibited from excessive drinking?"

Lin Jie briefly told her about what had happened to Hu Yuanqing recently.

After hearing it, Li Ting sympathetically said, "I didn't expect this Hu Yuanqing to be such a sentimental person; it's truly regrettable!"

Lin Miao snorted coldly and said dismissively, "I think he's more of a fickle person!"

"If he truly loved that woman so deeply, why did they break up in the first place? Moreover, if he loved her so much, he shouldn't behave like this!"

She argued, "That woman was already married and even had a child. This only causes conflicts between her and her husband and child. Although she has passed away, rumors are bound to arise."

Li Ting glanced at Lin Jie and said gloomily, "Miaomiao, sometimes love isn't everything. A person also has family, friendship, responsibilities, and various obligations; you can't always do as you wish."

"That just means the love isn't deep enough. True love can break through all obstacles!" Lin Miao insisted!

Li Ting retorted, "Miaomiao, you're too idealistic!"

Seeing Lin Miao was about to retort, Lin Jie gestured her to stop, "Alright, let's not continue debating this issue."

"There's no absolute right or wrong in emotional choices because everyone's circumstances differ. We shouldn't impose our choices on others."

"It's getting late; we should get ready for bed!"

Lin Jie pulled both of them up from the sofa, playfully tickling Li Ting's palm, asking, "Li Ting, do you want to sleep alone tonight or with Miaomiao?"

Before Li Ting could answer, Lin Miao hooked her arm, saying, "Of course, we'll sleep together as usual. The guest room is a child's room; the bed is very small and uncomfortable."

"Exactly, Miaomiao's big bed can fit five or six people; there's no worry about falling off!" While Lin Miao wasn't watching, Li Ting stuck her tongue out at Lin Jie, making a face!

Lin Miao also looked at Lin Jie, giggling, "Brother, I finally figured out why I'm lazier and wake up so late now!"

"Why?" Lin Jie cooperated by asking.

"My bed is too big. When I wake up, I turn over and I'm not near the edge, turn over again, still not near the edge, by the time I want to turn again, I fall back asleep!"

Lin Jie pinched her nose, helplessly saying, "You really know how to make excuses for your laziness. If you slept on the carpet, you'd sleep for ages!"

"No way!" Lin Miao confidently said, "I'd definitely wake up from hunger eventually!"

"Or maybe you'd wake up from the urge to pee!" Li Ting added with a laugh!

Ignoring the two mischievous ones, Lin Jie headed back to his room to wash up.

Coming out of the bathroom, he saw Li Ting sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him bashfully.

Excited, he rushed forward and pinned Li Ting on the bed, his hands all over, teasingly saying, "Are you ready to offer yourself?"

With her face flushed, Li Ting stopped Lin Jie's roaming hands, quickly saying, "That's out of the question, but you can take some liberties! Miaomiao's in the shower, so I've sneaked over. You have at most five minutes..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Jie silenced her with a kiss...
