After dinner, the children played while Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan chatted in the little garden.

It was a fine night in Livingsfill. It was not cold, and the weather was just lovely.

To everyone's pleasant surprise, they could even see the moon shining brightly in the sky that evening.

Lu Jingyuan took out some fruit wine she had made for the guests.

It tasted sweet and refreshing, but Ning Ran felt the wine tasted familiar after the first sip.

She recalled drinking the same wine when she and Nan Chen and were in Lightspring. They had a meal at a romantic restaurant in the old mansion they visited.

The wine they drank at that place tasted more or less like the one Lu Jingyuan had served.

Ning Ran had her guard up instantly. It occurred to her that Nan Chen had admitted to her that he had once gone to the same restaurant with another woman.

It even seemed that Nan Chen had such a fond memory of that woman that it felt as though she were his first love.

Don't tell me Lu Jingyuan is the woman who went to that restaurant with Nan Chen. Her children look a lot like Dabao and Erbao too. I can't be wrong...

“What's the matter? Do you not like the taste? How about I let you try another wine?” Lu Jingyuan asked when she saw Ning Ran staring blankly into the air.

Ning Ran quickly snapped out of it. “I'm good. I like it. Did you make this yourself? You're so talented.”

“It's easy making something like this. I usually make this when I'm free. It's just something I do to fill up my time.” Lu Jingyuan smiled.

Ning Ran smiled back at her. “That's good. You're good at everything. Where's your husband? Is he also in Livingsfill?”

The truth was that Ning Ran had already found out from Cheng Xiangyun that Lu Jingyuan was a single mother, but she still asked Lu Jingyuan about her husband because she was suspicious.

Lu Jingyuan smiled at her question and just shook her head.
