When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

When Su Xiaowan arrived at the agreed place, she found that it was a high-end restaurant. The waiter took her to the reserved private room.

Seeing her coming, Nan Sicheng quickly hung up the phone and pulled the chair out for her with a smile.

"Are you very busy?" Su Xiaowan asked with a smile.

"It's okay, some work matters."

Nan Sicheng handed her the menu and said, "Take a look at what to eat. The food in this restaurant is delicious."

"Since you know it's good, you should have tried it before. Just order it. I prefer a stronger flavor, so it's fine."

Nan Sicheng pointed to several signature dishes on the menu and said, "These are their specialties. They are very suitable for your taste. Would you like to have some?"

“Sure, these look delicious.”

Su Xiaowan didn’t have much thought about these things. Her mind was full of thoughts on how to ask Nan Sicheng later.

"Okay, then order another soup and a dessert."

Nan Sicheng chose very quickly, and all he picked were Su Xiaowan's favorites.

After making her choice, she handed the menu to the waiter and poured a cup of tea for Su Xiaowan.

"Xiao Wan, I hope you don't mind me calling you that."

As soon as Nan Sicheng opened his mouth, Su Xiaowan's eyes became red, and she smiled and said, "We are all friends, and Brother Nancheng also calls me that."

"Okay." Nan Sicheng smiled and hesitated about how to start.

"Nan Sicheng, let me ask you first. Actually, I have been wanting to ask you these past two days, but I just don't know how to start the conversation."

"Okay, then you speak first." Nan Sicheng actually guessed what she was going to ask.

"Is there no room for maneuver in your marriage to Qiao Xiyue?" As soon as Song Jiaojiao asked this, Nan Sicheng laughed.

"You and Beiguo are indeed husband and wife. The questions are the same."

Nan Sicheng pretended to be relaxed and said, "Qiao Xiyue told you that I married her because I saved you."

"Actually, it's not what she said. My dad is going to retire soon. You know, my family has always been in politics. Sooner or later, I will have to take over."

"My dad had talked to me about it many times before, but I had never decided whether to take over. This time when something happened in Beiguo, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to control the overall situation by myself, so I talked to my dad about it. He asked me to take over, and I agreed without hesitation."

Nan Sicheng said this, and his eyes looked firmer as he looked at her, "Xiao Wan, I married Qiao Xiyue because I need her and her family's help in my political career."

"Besides, I will get married sooner or later, and Qiao Xiyue meets all the requirements, so I chose her."

"You can't expect me to never get married."

Seeing Nan Sicheng's joking attitude, Su Xiaowan asked uncertainly, "Is what you said true?"

"When have I ever lied to you? I never thought about getting married, but you are an exception."

"Now that I am going to pursue a career in politics, I will definitely have to consider many factors when choosing a marriage partner."

Su Xiaowan also knew that these people’s marriages would not be as free as those of ordinary people, and Nan Sicheng had never lied to her.

"In that case, I wish you and Miss Qiao all the best."

"Xiao Wan, I am very grateful that you are willing to be my friend. I have no regrets in my life because I can meet you and be your friend."

Nan Sicheng said sincerely, "Promise me that no matter what time it is, you must remember that I will stand behind you like a relative and a brother."

"Okay, I will." Su Xiaowan's voice was a little heavy, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Just then the food came up, and Nan Sicheng said hurriedly, "Let's eat first. Eat the food while it's hot. It tastes great."

Su Xiaowan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and started eating, her eyes full of shock, "This dish tastes amazing, next time I want to eat it with Yue Lan, she will definitely like it."

Hearing her words, Nan Sicheng couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you would say you came with Beiguo."

"He doesn't like eating out, and when I eat with him, he mostly takes care of me, unlike Yuelan, we can talk about the cooking methods and tastes of the dishes while we eat."

Su Xiaowan knew that Xiao Beiguo wanted to take better care of her, but she wanted more of the joy of discussing food while eating.

"I thought you would be happier having dinner with Beiguo." Nan Sicheng was a little surprised.

"When I go out to eat with him, most of the time he's taking care of me, worried that I'm not eating well, and in the end he doesn't eat much either."

When Su Xiaowan talked about Xiao Beiguo, her eyes lit up, and that sense of happiness seemed to overflow from her eyes.

After talking about this, Su Xiaowan was in a very good mood. After dinner with Nan Sicheng, the two chatted for more than half an hour before leaving.

When I got home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Beiguo was at home, working in the study.

When he saw her come back, he put down the documents, stood up and walked over to her, holding her hand. Her hand was a little cold, so he quickly rubbed it to warm it up.

"What did you eat outside with Yuelan?"

"When Nan Sicheng and I had dinner together, he told me the reason why he married Qiao Xiyue, and it wasn't just because of me."

Seeing Su Xiaowan relieved, Xiao Beiguo felt distressed and somewhat relieved. If she had any doubts about Nan Sicheng, this matter would not be so easy to resolve.

"That's good. Do you want to go to bed for a while? You didn't sleep well last night."

Xiao Beiguo still had a lot of work to deal with at the moment, so he brought his work back because he was worried about Su Xiaowan.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep for a while, call me later."

"Okay, go to sleep. Mom and Dad are playing with the children in the back garden. We will take them out for a walk tomorrow. We have been here for a while and haven't taken them out much."

"Okay, you make the arrangements and go there tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Su Xiaowan was in a good mood, Xiao Beiguo felt relieved. He waited until she fell asleep before returning to the study.

Looking at the missed call from Nan Sicheng on my phone, I called back.

Nan Sicheng quickly picked up the phone, "Xiao Wan should have gone home. I've talked to her. She should be fine now."

"Well, she's been back for a while and is sleeping now. Thank you, Nan Sicheng. If it weren't for you, it would be hard for her to untie this knot in her heart."

Nan Sicheng put one hand in his pocket, looked at the busy traffic under his feet, and smiled faintly, "We are all for her happiness. I can't say thank you. As long as she is happy, this lie is beautiful."

"Yes, as long as Xiaowan is happy, all this is worth it."

Neither man said anything more and hung up the phone.

The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Beiguo drove out with Su's father and mother.

This time they took the two elders to the wild to have an open-air barbecue.

Mother Su looked at Su Xiaowan, took her hand and said, "Xiaowan, you are so busy every day, don't always do these for us."

"Mom, it's okay. We usually go out to play. But you've been in that place your whole life, so it's good for you to go out for a walk."
