Chapter 10 Obligations

Jiang Yichen was even more looking forward to seeing what this Mrs. Ji looked like.

"Girl, why would your brother listen to his family and get married?" Jiang Yichen asked.

Xu Yiyi: "Grandma and uncle have been urging me to get married, so my brother must have gotten fed up. But I didn't expect him to be so obedient. I thought he went on a blind date just to show off to grandma and uncle, but I didn't expect he would actually get the marriage certificate."

Jiang Yichen touched his chin and said, "I'm beginning to look forward to what Ji Yanxing will be like in front of his wife."

Someone followed up with a sentence: "What can happen? He won't become a henpecked husband, will he?"

"It's hard to say," Jiang Yichen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm more looking forward to the scene where Ji Yanxing becomes a henpecked husband who obeys his wife's every word."

Xu Yiyi agreed: "It's not impossible. I think my brother attaches great importance to my sister-in-law. He was walking with me at first, but when he saw her, he drove me away. I guess he has something to tell my sister-in-law."

Jiang Yichen laughed loudly: "No, I want to laugh when I think about Ji Yanxing becoming a henpecked husband."

Lu Yan glanced at him and said, "Do you think it's possible given Yan Xing's personality?"

"Why is this impossible?" Jiang Yichen said, "I didn't expect him to get married so hastily at first. We can't jump to conclusions so early."

A group of people were discussing whether Ji Yanxing would become a henpecked husband. Suddenly, the door of the box was pushed open and everyone looked towards the door.

"Yanxing, we are betting on whether you will become a henpecked husband—"

Jiang Yichen's words suddenly stopped, because he saw a woman behind Ji Yanxing. The noisy box suddenly became quiet.

"Sister-in-law!" Xu Yiyi spoke first, breaking the silence.

Yu Nian was stunned, and looked in the direction of the sound. Xu Yiyi walked over with small steps and introduced herself with a smile: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Xu Yiyi, my brother's cousin."

Yu Nian smiled gently: "Hello, I'm Yu Nian."

Jiang Yichen squeezed over and said, "I'm Jiang Yichen, your husband's childhood friend."

Yu Nian curved his lips and smiled: "Hello."

Ji Yanxing took Yu Nian to where Lu Yan was sitting, and Jiang Yichen looked at Mrs. Ji calmly. She was dressed in a professional suit, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyebrows were gentle and soft. She didn't look as aggressive as the bright and beautiful type, but like a warm pearl, gentle and cold.

Standing next to Ji Yanxing, they really look very well matched and pleasing to the eye.

Yu Nian was brought to the sofa by Ji Yanxing, who introduced him to his other childhood friend Lu Yan and Lu Yan's girlfriend Wen Yan. After saying hello, she whispered in his ear, "I'm leaving first, or my friend will be waiting anxiously."

"Well, shall I take you there?"

It's just a two-step walk away, there's no need to see you off.

Yu Nian shook his head: "No need."

Ji Yanxing didn't say much, "Okay."

After she left, Jiang Yichen and Xu Yiyi came over and asked, "Why did you leave like that?"

Xu Yiyi: "You must have scared my sister-in-law!"

"No, I just said a few words."

Jiang Yichen scratched his head, thinking about the way he looked at her just now, "It can't really be my fault."

Ji Yanxing glanced at him and said impatiently: "What does it have to do with you? Her friend is here too. She went to see her friend and just brought her here to say hello."

Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I thought he had something against me."

Yu Nian's appearance flashed through his mind, and Jiang Yichen sighed: "At first I was a little surprised by your sudden marriage, but now that I see the real person I understand. She is indeed beautiful, beautiful, elegant, and well-educated. The most important thing is that they are well-matched. She is a good match for you."

Ji Yanxing snorted and laughed: "Or do you think I'm stupid or blind?"

Mrs. Ji, whom he personally chose, was certainly worthy of him.

Lu Yan, who was standing by, flicked the earlobe of the woman in his arms, looked at her absent-minded eyes, and asked nonchalantly, "What are you thinking about?"

Wen Yan suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."

-

When Yu Nian returned to the private room that Chen Xi had reserved, Chen Xi had finished half a bottle of wine. Hearing the noise, he looked at her and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Why did you come just now?"

"I went to say hello to his friend," Yu Nian walked over to sit next to her and poured himself a glass of red wine, "You should drink less, because you have another announcement tomorrow."

"It's okay, the announcement will be in the evening," Chen Xi said nonchalantly, changing the subject to the scene they had just seen, "Who is that girl next to your fake husband?"

Yu Nian took a sip of wine, "His cousin."

Chen Xi snorted: "He is a clean man."

Yu Nian thought about the conversation in the corridor. Although he didn't say it explicitly, if she understood correctly, he meant that he was willing to develop feelings with her.

He will fall in love with her one day...

I think so.

She took a big sip of wine, and the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.

Chen Xi caught this smile and narrowed his eyes, "Something is wrong, something is wrong, what are you talking about? You are in such a good mood!"

Yu Nian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Let's say that during the continuation of the marriage, even if it is just a plastic couple, you can't cheat on each other."

Chen Xi curled his lips, "If I had known earlier, I would have tricked He Bai into getting the marriage certificate while he was in a good mood. This way, I can be jealous and angry justifiably."

Yu Nian curled his lips slightly.

If it weren't for this relationship, she probably would never have had the chance to fulfill her childhood dream in her lifetime.

Even though it has not been achieved yet, we are getting closer to the goal little by little.

Yu Nian didn't drink much, only two glasses of wine, because she would tend to talk nonsense after drinking and might say something she shouldn't.

In the following time, Yu Nian ordered a glass of low-proof lemon wine and drank it while listening to Chen Xi complaining about He Bai.

At the end, she sent a text message to Ji Yanxing, helped Chen Xi to the door of the bar, and looked at Chen Xi who was drunk. "Give me your phone, I'll call your assistant."

Chen Xi took out his phone and handed it to her. Yu Nian was about to take it, but she suddenly snatched the phone away and said, "No, my assistant asked for leave today because something happened at home. I'm not that kind of black-hearted boss. I won't bother her."

Yu Nian said helplessly: "You are a celebrity after all. If you ask for a designated driver, if you are recognized, something will definitely happen."

Chen Xi stared blankly into the air. Yu Nian waved his hand in front of her twice and suggested, "I'll take you home first and then I'll go back—"

"Call He Bai."

Yu Nian stared at her.

Chen Xi avoided her gaze and bit his lip: "Fight me, please."

Yu Nian used her own mobile phone to call He Bai. After a few seconds of ringing, the phone was connected. Yu Nian got straight to the point and said, "Chen Xi is drunk. Can you come and take her home?"

After a moment of silence, an indifferent male voice came: "Sorry, I don't have the obligation."

Yu Nian: “I understand.”

She was about to hang up the phone when she caught a glimpse of a man walking up to Chen Xi. Yu Nian thought for a moment and did not hang up the phone. She walked up to Chen Xi and shook her head at her.

Chen Xi lowered his eyes, and the expectation in his eyes disappeared instantly.
