Was It Not Too Over-The-Top to Say That out on the Street?

Ruan Danchen was very unhappy after hearing that. "Of course not. I gave birth to him."

'Qi Chenglin? Fathering someone else's child?' Though it may only be a hypothetical situation, it still angered her terribly.

Seizing their moment of bafflement, Ruan Danchen fished out two-hundred yuan and said, "You guys continue. Don't let me ruin the mood. I'll be going."

Chen Libai was the first to come to his senses. He reached out and grabbed Ruan Danchen's wrist.

She looked at his actions without frowning, but her expression remained calm. That calmness, however, made Chen Libai retract his hand in embarrassment. He took the money and gave it back to Ruan Danchen.

"We've all agreed that today will be my treat," Chen Libai remarked with a smile.

Ruan Danchen had no intention of arguing with him for fear that the others might snap out of their bewilderment and continue insisting that Qi Chenglin come up.
