"Master Fu, you're really doing great things quietly! Just last weekend, the rest of us were joking around about who would be the first to get married, and now you've already taken on the shackles of marriage! That's efficient!"
"That's right, where is your sister-in-law? She didn't even bring her so her brothers could pay their respects!"
"I heard she's a beauty. Brother, you're not worried we'll scare your wife, are you?"
The first to speak was Lu Xizhou, Fu Yanci's classmate from his time studying abroad, who had come all the way from Sicheng.
The other two are Fu Yanci's childhood friends, Gu Lanting and Cheng Yanhuai.
Any one of them could step out and be admired by thousands in the capital's elite circles.
But at this moment, the four of them are gathered in this unknown winery, and the atmosphere is relaxed and leisurely.
Seeing that Fu Yanci showed no joy at all, the three of them exchanged glances and sensed that something was amiss.
Lu Xizhou stepped forward with a wine glass, handed one to Fu Yanci, and raised his glass to him, saying, "Happy wedding!"
Bang!
The crisp sound of glasses clinking rang out. Fu Yanci tilted his head back and finished the whiskey in his glass, then tossed the glass aside and sat down at the card table.
They were playing cards and chatting.
The conversation naturally shifted from their collaboration to Fu Yanci's unexpected marriage.
"During those years at school, you must have received so many love letters every day that they could fill a sack, right? But you were as aloof as an ascetic, always alone, and I never saw you fall for anyone. After returning to China, I haven't heard of you dating anyone either. Who is your wife? Could it be that you couldn't refuse a favor from your elders?"
Lu Xizhou smiled.
Fu Yanci shook his head, stroking the card in his hand, and looked at the married Gu Lanting, "If, I mean if, you had an illegitimate child and Ningyan found out, what do you think her reaction would be?"
? ? ?
"Brother, you can't joke like that!"
With a look of horror, Gu Lanting laughed, "Don't let Ningyan's gentle demeanor fool you, she has a fiery temper! Forget about illegitimate children, if I dared to bring any other women besides her and my mother out to social events today, she'd burn the house down! Illegitimate children?"
Gu Lanting shook his head repeatedly, "If such a thing really happened, she would definitely chop me up first, then chop up that mother and child, and she would never let us go!"
"No wonder you've become so self-disciplined since you got married, only riding stallions at the horse farm... Indeed, marriage is a tomb!"
"That's terrifying! I've decided to enjoy life to the fullest and never let freedom get the better of me!"
Lu Xizhou and Cheng Yanhuai joked with each other.
Looking up again, she saw that Fu Yanci's face was extremely dark.
Before she even opened her mouth, she already had the answer in her heart. But after Gu Lanting finished speaking, Fu Yanci's mind was filled with a completely different scene.
The girl smiled radiantly: Fu Yanci, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person.
To show her sincerity, she even acted cute to win Xiaobao's favor.
Until this moment, when he was confirmed to know that she really didn't mind, Fu Yanci felt indescribably restless and depressed.
Of the three, Lu Xizhou had been by Fu Yanci's side the longest and was the only one who could understand his thoughts.
Without making a sound, Cheng Yanhuai played a card and offered advice: "You have to coax a woman. Although your methods aren't exactly honorable, she's yours now. Treat her well, and in time, even a stone can be warmed."
"Brother, with my undefeated experience in love, trust me, I guarantee you won't go wrong!"
? ? ?
Upon understanding the meaning behind Cheng Yanhuai's words, Gu Lanting and Lu Xizhou exchanged a glance, both looking astonished.
Before the two could find out what was going on, Fu Yanci pushed over the cards in front of him, got up and walked out, saying, "It's late, let's call it a night!"
? ? ?
It's only 11 o'clock, and you're telling me it's late?
Have you forgotten the wonderful times when we used to hang out together at two or three in the morning?
The three of them were exchanging glances behind Fu Yanci's back when Fu Yanci pushed open the door and went out.
The Maybach roared toward the hillside estate.
