Come morning, the Mo's had not reached a consensus. Only when they sat down to have breakfast did Mo Wenbin's wife realize that he had gone out to buy some beer and not returned home at all.
He had not slept off in a home that belonged to one of their relatives. He had not fallen asleep in the vegetable field of their family. All the cash they had come with was gone and their joint account had been emptied.
In a panic, she woke up everyone and shared the news.

In the capital, Feng Jingzhe was also sitting down for an awkward breakfast of his own. On the insistence of his mother and girlfriend, he had joined other men that were equally unwilling to partake in a forced bonding ritual of friendship.
It was him, Lord Jang who was Rose's husband, Duan Siping who was Meihua's fiance, Qin Yan who was Taiyuan's boyfriend and Zhilan's boyfriend who insisted that everyone call him the capital's third prince even though he was not royalty.
