A Wild Night

Also known as The Little Matter of Helping Dad Win Mom Back Shi Ning returned to Beicheng to treat an old friend of her grandmother's for a stubborn illness. One evening, as she walked down a street that was both familiar and strange, a little girl suddenly bumped into her leg. She crouched to help the child up and apologized gently. To her surprise, the little girl burst into tears, threw herself into Shi Ning's arms, and called her Mom. Unable to soothe her, Shi Ning had no choice but to stand with the child in her arms. A man suddenly stepped out of a black car by the roadside. His gaze was heavy as he demanded coldly, "Why are you holding her?" Seeing her former brother-in-law for the first time in years, Shi Ning inexplicably couldn't meet his eyes. She looked instead at the little girl in her arms, crying with tear-filled eyes, and said tenderly, "She was crying for her mom, so I was trying to comfort her." The little girl suddenly stopped crying and clung tightly to her neck. Behind his cold lenses, the man's dark eyes turned inscrutable. He tugged his tie loose with one hand and advanced step by step. His overwhelming presence made Shi Ning tense. She watched him warily. As the air between them grew tense, the little girl in her arms turned her head and choked out, "Dad." He answered, his whole demeanor softening as he reached out to stroke her fluffy head. Shi Ning stared at him, then at the child. Could this be... her niece? The man suddenly looked up at her. His gaze was cold and distant, like an icy night wind cutting across her face. Shi Ning shuddered and hurriedly tried to hand the child back, but he didn't take her. He looked Shi Ning up and down and said mockingly, "Who was it that said she'd never come back, even if she died, when we divorced?" Shi Ning was bewildered. "Who got divorced?" He replied coolly, "We did." Shi Ning: "!!!" Wasn't he engaged to her "dear sister"? How had he divorced her?
