Wen Yanyu then grew anxious when Fu Hanchuan failed to answer his calls and learned he had been absent from work, leaving Fu Zhiyan asking what was wrong.

• Chu Xingbai tried to wash Duan Mufeng’s patinated plush bunny, but Duan Mufeng insisted it was dry-clean only and called it the child Wen Yanyu had given birth to.
