If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

As soon as Zhu Tingyue got off the plane, she rushed back to the Shen family home to get her things. She had left the birthday present she bought for Shen Yanqiu there; otherwise, she could have gone directly to Shen Yanqiu.

As soon as I entered, I sensed a completely different atmosphere from the Shen family's usual one; there even seemed to be laughter and chatter.

Speak, okay? Laugh? She'd never seen that on the faces of any of the Shen family members.

These people from the Shen family are immune to laughter; we're just not meant to be!

As she walked upstairs, she clearly heard a loud laugh; there really was laughter!

What's going on today? Did the Shen family undergo a genetic mutation? Or is there some great joyous event they're unaware of?

The laughter piqued Zhu Tingyue's curiosity, and she slowly walked towards the sound, and surprisingly, she actually found it!

Right there in the courtyard, Chen Can was laughing!

Zhu Tingyue still remembered the time she received a card from her. Seeing that it was her, she felt a little embarrassed, as she hadn't paid back the money yet!

Chen Can, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted her and exclaimed, "Speak of the devil, and he appears! Our protagonist is back!"

She came over and pulled the still-dazed Zhu Tingyue along, and they quickly walked into the crowd.

Zhu Tingyue recognized all of these people!

Centered on Chen Can, with Xu Jie and Li Qingyu on the left and Shi Yuan and Shen Yanzhen on the right, they were probably discussing something, but he interrupted them.

However, she was very curious: the others could all be connected in some way, so how did Yuan manage to squeeze in?

She looked at Shi Yuan with a puzzled expression. Shi Yuan immediately understood what she meant, chuckled, and then said with a hint of displeasure, "Yan Qiu, you're so unfair! You didn't even tell me."

His gaze swept around the courtyard, and Zhu Tingyue knew he was referring to Shen Yanqiu's identity.

She gave him an apologetic smile and said, "I'll explain later. I have things to do today. You guys have fun."

Then, she looked at Chen Can and apologized to her privately: "Sorry, I have something to do. Have fun!"

Chen Can grabbed her arm, preventing her from leaving: "What is it? You're the boss today, you have to be here."

With her arm gripped, Zhu Tingyue couldn't leave, and her repeated pleas were to no avail.

After being forced to drink several glasses of wine, Zhu Tingyue realized that these people had come to celebrate her birthday. No, to be precise, they had come to celebrate Shen Yanqiu's birthday!

Who forces someone to celebrate their birthday?

Zhu Tingyue felt dizzy and disoriented; she could barely stand, let alone go to find Shen Yanqiu.

Chen Can kindly handed her a glass of water, but Zhu Tingyue's eyes were still blurry, so she could only see her vaguely.

"Are you drunk?" Chen Can bent down and leaned closer to her, looking incredulous.

"Yes, I'm drunk!" Zhu Tingyue admitted.

"You're kidding, right? Drunk people never admit they're drunk!"

"Oh, then I'm not drunk." Zhu Tingyue immediately retorted.

"Hahaha, I knew you weren't drunk!"

Chen Can burst into laughter, grabbed her arm, and tried to pull her up.

Zhu Tingyue felt weak all over. She wasn't necessarily drunk; she was just exhausted from work these past few days, and the alcohol had left her feeling powerless.

Chen Can didn't pull her up immediately; instead, he fell onto Zhu Tingyue. Zhu Tingyue's head was fuzzy, but her movements were agile. She grabbed Chen Can's waist and pulled him into her arms.

"What are you doing?" an angry voice rang out; it was Shen Yanzhen.

"I didn't do anything!"

Chen Can glanced at him, then looked away, tightening her grip on his waist and snuggling closer to Zhu Tingyue.

Zhu Tingyue glanced at her furtively, and receiving a warning look from her, she simply shut her mouth and pretended not to know anything.

Shen Yanzhen was already furious at her nonchalant tone, but she remained oblivious and moved even closer!

Then, his voice suddenly rose: "I'm not blind. Look at the two of you, what kind of behavior do you two have?"

Chen Can looked down at himself and "Shen Yanqiu," then looked up at Shen Yanzhen and asked him, "What do you mean? What do you mean? Isn't this normal? Isn't our relationship normal?"

Let alone Shen Yanzhen, even Zhu Tingyue would be startled by her words. What did she mean? Why say such ambiguous things in public?

What could their relationship be? Former sister-in-law? No, that's not right! Chen Can pursued Shen Yanzhen unsuccessfully, so she can't be called sister-in-law.

That is the relationship between someone who is like a sister-in-law but not quite, and someone who is like a brother-in-law but not quite.

What a huge network of relationships! Zhu Tingyue's mind was nearly overwhelmed before she finally figured out the connection between the two.

Shen Yanzhen was also caught off guard by her words. What did she mean by "their relationship"? What kind of relationship did they have? Was this normal?

His gaze darted back and forth between the two people in front of him, then shifted to another target, continuing to ask, "Shen Yanqiu! Say something, what's your relationship?"

Zhu Tingyue, whose name was called, could no longer lie there. She slowly opened her dazed eyes and seemed to realize that there was someone standing in front of her. She tried to lean forward to see who it was.

Unable to stand her dawdling any longer, Shen Yanzhen yelled at her, "Shen Yanqiu, open your dog eyes and see who I am!"

Oh dear, Shen Yanzhen is swearing! He seems really angry!

Zhu Tingyue blinked a few more times, as if she had finally seen the person in front of her clearly. She straightened up and then fell back down. Chen Can quickly put his hand on the back of the chair to prevent her from bumping into it.

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Yanzhen seemed to be stimulated by something. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Zhu Tingyue's arm. Chen Can also immediately followed suit and hugged Zhu Tingyue's waist.

The two locked eyes, sparks flying.

Zhu Tingyue was like a hostage, unable to move. And why was she the one suffering in this power struggle between the two?

"Um, could you let go?" Zhu Tingyue pleaded.

Shen Yanzhen looked at Chen Can, who looked back without backing down, as if to say, "Who's afraid of who?"

Zhu Tingyue used one hand to shove at Chen Can and the other hand to shove at Shen Yanzhen.

The two of them tried their best, and Zhu Tingyue exhausted all her strength, but she still couldn't save herself.

Where did everyone else go? Can't someone come and save me?

This stalemate couldn't go on, and Shen Yanzhen was the first to regain a shred of rationality.

He looked at Zhu Tingyue with a seriousness she had never seen before: "Shen Yanqiu, what is your relationship?"

He could loosen his grip if he wanted to, and Zhu Tingyue breathed a slight sigh of relief. She opened her mouth to answer when a sharp pain suddenly shot through her waist. It was Chen Can pinching her!

Damn it, is Zhu Tingyue getting her comeuppance? How did she have to run into Chen Can! She can't beat him in a fight, and she can't bring herself to scold him. After all, he's the one who gave her a card!

Sigh, Zhu Tingyue's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped again. She replied to Shen Yanzhen, "It's the relationship you see."

Chen Can was satisfied and gave her a sweet smile. Zhu Tingyue, however, didn't want to watch anymore. What was going on? She was being made the bad guy all by herself.

Forget it, consider it repaying Chen Can for that card!

After hearing this, Shen Yanzhen's hands, which had been tightly clenched into fists, suddenly seemed to lose all strength and slowly and limply fell to the ground.

His eyes were filled with deep disappointment as he stared straight at the two people in front of him.

His lips curled slightly upward, forcing out an extremely stiff smile. This smile seemed to be nothing more than a mask on his face, utterly devoid of life.

At the same time, the light in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by coldness and indifference, as if nothing in the world could stir his heart anymore.

Even the raging anger that had just been burning brightly vanished completely at this moment, as if extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

After a long pause, he softly uttered, "I wish you happiness!"

Chen Can returned the greeting with a big smile: "Thank you!"

What are you thanking me for? Can we really be happy together?

Zhu Tingyue looked at Chen Can, her face full of black lines.
