Zhuang Yue was about to lose his temper when a short-haired woman in a suit came over and whispered into the Councilman’s ear.
Zhuang Yue’s expression sank. He rose to his feet, glancing at Mo Fan before leaving the hall.
It seemed something had happened that required the presence of the Maritime Defense Minister.
Mo Fan simply ignored it now that the annoying man had left, and continued to enjoy his food. The meat of the creatures in the Dark Plane had been bad and rotten
Xinxia gave her blessing to the newlyweds. Mo Fan did not hear the details, but Mui Nuxin seemed overjoyed. She kept thanking Xinxia repeatedly and sincerely.
The dinner was coming to an end. The guests gradually took their leaves.
‘Mo Fan was not in a rush to go back after he was done eating. He took a stroll along the Huangpu River.
The dazzling lights were reflected on the rapid currents. In the past, the riverside was full of tourists. People would be taking photos of the magnificent buildings and leaning against the rail to admire the river. There had also been small cruise ships with fancy lights sailing the river.
However, the area was now deserted. It was now a luxury to admire the view when mankind was in danger.
Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Xinxia were the only people walking on the promenade by the river.
The cold and stern knight Waris maintained a distance of around a hundred meters from them, looking around constantly.
‘Mo Fan was a few steps ahead while Mu Ningxue was pushing Xinxia’s wheelchair. They were walking at a slow pace.
It had been like this since they were younger. Mo Fan always rushed ahead as he was eager to show his new discoveries to them. It was a peaceful and scenic place with a river and an old tree. The leaves were falling slowly onto the water before they were carried away by the current.
‘Mu Ningxue would keep up with Mo Fan at her own pace while having a private talk with Xinxia. She was not particularly interested in Mo Fan’s discovery, but she was not necessarily disappointed, either.
Meanwhile, Xinxia was very curious about nature. The butterflies and fallen flowers would occasionally fall on her clothes. She would not sweep them away like most people would.
It felt like they had gone back in time, to when they were still in Bo City. There were endless paths to walk, views to enjoy, and stories to tell.
Unfortunately, everything was constantly changing. They could no longer go back to certain places and times. Mo Fan could accept the changes in other things, but he could not accept all the changes in people.
As the world continued to fall into a bottomless pit and eternal darkness, it was Mo Fan’s greatest relief to see Mu Ningxue and Xinxia just a few steps behind him.
He would never lose the motivation to keep going forward, even when huge waves and the Apocalypse were in his way.
Nothing was permanent in this world.
In the end, Mo Fan still could not fulfill the wish that was constantly in his mind.
Not only did he fail to fulfill it, he did not expect that he would even go back to his deserted apartment alone!
Mo Fan heard voices behind the door when he reached home.
His heart began to race. It seemed like he did not have to sleep alone in the cold night!
‘Mo Fan opened the door and saw the two men sitting on the couch with beer bottles scattered across the floor. The two drunken men were drinking like two warriors having a duel.
The two looked at Mo Fan with wide eyes when they saw him coming back alone.
“How useless!” Zhao Manyan mocked him.
‘Mu Bai burst out laughing, too. He pointed at Mo Fan and scoffed, “That’s what you get for mocking me all the time. I thought you were impressive, but you still came back here alone! Here, I have left you a seat.”
‘Mu Bai must have drank a lot. He was surprisingly bold and unrestrained.
Mo Fan felt so embarrassed. He had the urge to kill the two idiots right on the spot!
Mo Fan had left the wedding with two beautiful women. He was planning to take a romantic stroll so the three of them could enjoy the rest of the night together in the same bed.
Unfortunately, the two women were too smart to give Mo Fan a chance to fulfill his shameless ambitions. They managed to get away and destroy Mo Fan’s dream!
“You are really hopeless. You should seek some advice from me. I might not be good at other things, but I have plenty of experience having a wonderful time with two women at once. How could you bring the two of them out for a walk together? You were only going to alert them…” Zhao Manyan started
giving him a lecture.
“Piss off, if you are so good, why are you drinking with Mu Bai here?” Mo Fan scolded.
He was so angry! Why did he have to be caught red-handed by these two pricks after his plan failed?
Most importantly, why were these two assh**** treating his place like theirs? He had used it to keep his mistresses, but the two assh**** had made his nice-smelling apartment foul!
‘Mu Bai pointed at Zhao Manyan’s bottle and said, “Are you keeping the beer to keep some pet fish? What did you say at the wedding? If you don’t make me drunk until I’m on the floor, you will call me your grandfather. I’m very much awake still!”
“What are you so proud of? I’m just feeling sorry for Mo Fan. I’m waiting for him to finish a bottle first,” Zhao Manyan immediately redirected Mu Bais attention to Mo Fan.
‘Mo Fan was in a bad mood. He grabbed a bottle and emptied it in one go.
Mo Fan’s face reddened after he drank the bottle of beer. The same question kept appearing in his mind, Where did my plan even go wrong?
Could it be that he was being too impatient, just like Zhao Manyan had said?
Life never goes according to plan!
“Old Zhao, where is your true love?” Mo Fan suddenly recalled the exciting relationship Zhao Manyan once had.
‘Mu Bai immediately slammed his fist on the table and burst out laughing.
“It turned out Zhao Manyan was the one being conned. The woman already knew who he was. She was planning to take both the brothers. The Aorus Sacred Institute allows women to have two husbands!” Mu Bai informed Mo Fan.
“It was a mutual relationship. What do you mean I was being charmed? How could a man like you who has never touched a woman’s hand understand?” Zhao Manyan rebuked Mi Bai instantly.
“Mu Bai, you’re still single? It’s been a year!” Mo Fan was surprised.
“Tm good at being alone. Look at you two! One hooks up with every woman he sees, the other has a lot of paramours, but you are both drinking with me here. What difference does it make?” Mu Bai shot back.
‘Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were left speechless.
Mu Bai was not wrong, either!
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan clanked their bottles awkwardly and emptied them.

Zhao Manyan coughed and asked Mu Bai, “I’m going to ask you seriously. Isn’t the woman you met during the battle at the Yangtze River pretty nice? Why are you keeping your distance from her?”
“You never know what’s going to happen in a precarious time like this. I don’t want to grieve over someone’s death, so I think it’s better to be alone,” Mu Bai replied.
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan raised their thumbs at Mu Bai. The three of them continued to enjoy their drinks..
