Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Xu Wan was drunk and her head was spinning. When she saw someone coming, her first thought was that Jiang Tingzhou had arrived.
When she looked closely, she realized that the person who had come was actually Gu Qing!
Xu Wan tried to step back, but Gu Qing, probably afraid she would fall, tightened his grip on her hand even more.
"You can't hold your liquor, how come you drank so much? Are you going home? Let me take you."
Gu Qing's tone was full of concern, and as she spoke, she reached out to take Xu Wan's bag.
The moment the man touched her bag, she quickly hugged it to her chest.
She looked like a man was trying to snatch her bag.
Gu Qing was amused by her expression. "I just wanted to help you carry it."
"Need not."
Xu Wan shook her head like a rattle drum.
"Then I'll take you. I'm allergic to alcohol, you know that."
Gu Qing's tone was so gentle it was almost sweet.
He has always been a gentle and aloof person.
However, he also had a touch of cowardice in his personality, and it was this cowardice that prevented him from standing up back then.
"I don't remember." Xu Wan was drunk, but her mind was still relatively clear. "I don't need you to take me. My husband will take me."
Seeing her like this, Gu Qing's eyes were filled with hurt. "Xu Wan, I'm sorry. My mother said those things about you back then, and I didn't have the courage to stand up for you. It's understandable that you hate me and don't forgive me, but I hope you can give me a chance to make amends..."
"Gu Qing, I'm married."
Xu Wan interrupted the man.
"You're lying to me, aren't you? Actually, I visited your grandmother during the Chinese New Year. She told me you weren't married and didn't even have a boyfriend," Gu Qing said.
The man's words immediately angered Xu Wan. She shoved Gu Qing hard, "What's wrong with you? Why did you harass my grandmother?!"
"No, I just wanted to know how you were doing, I..."
"Gu Qing, I'm married. Why would I need to lie to you?"
Xu Wan looked stunning today. Her flushed cheeks, a result of the alcohol, blended beautifully with her makeup, making her appear radiant and captivating.
Looking at the woman who was even more beautiful and outstanding than she was in college, Gu Qing's past memories became even more profound.
"Okay, okay, I believe you're married, but he hasn't come to pick you up yet, has he? You can ride in my car, and I'll take you home. Is that alright?"
Gu Qing wanted to know where Xu Wan lived.
It's definitely impossible for Xu Wan to buy a house given her circumstances.
The environment of her residential community can be used to judge her husband's economic strength.
"No need, he's eating here, he'll be here soon."
"You weren't fooled by him, were you? Where has he been all this time?" Gu Qing said deliberately. "He might have forgotten about you while chatting with his friends."
A hand reached out and forcefully grabbed Gu Qing's arm, which was supporting Xu Wan, and shook her off.
Then, the man pulled Xu Wan to his side, his dark eyes fixed on her, and said, "Sir, although I don't know you, it's not gentlemanly to try to sow discord between my wife and me."
Gu Qing tilted her head slightly, her expression turning extremely unpleasant.
The man in front of him was about ten centimeters taller than him. Not only that, but he also had a cold and handsome appearance and an air of nobility that seemed to come naturally. Coupled with the well-tailored suit he was wearing, just standing face to face with him made him feel inferior.
"You, you're Xu Wan's husband?"
Gu Qing was surprised.
Jiang Tingzhou found the man in front of him quite ridiculous. He was calling Xu Wan "wife," so how could he not be her husband?
He didn't bother to explain and simply said, "My wife is drunk, I need to take her home, excuse me."
Gu Qing was unwilling to give up, "She has a very low alcohol tolerance. She drank so much, and you still made her wait for so long. That's putting her in danger!"
Jiang Tingzhou ignored him and first checked on Xu Wan's condition. Finding that the woman was very drunk, he bent down and picked her up in a princess carry, heading towards the elevator.
