Zhou Ji always wore a deadpan expression in front of others, and was as indifferent to everyone as if they were mourning a death.
Gu Chen and Fu Qingnian only found out about his marriage registration a few years ago from the news. When they mentioned it to him, a fleeting hint of cold impatience appeared on his usually expressionless face. "Yes, I got married."
Gu Chen was quite surprised at the time. He had never heard that Jiang Yue had a girlfriend or that he was going to marry someone. After inquiring, he found out that it was Jiang Yue.
Zhou Ji simply said in a detached tone, "She's pregnant."
He paused for a moment, then said casually, "It doesn't matter who I marry."
The implication was obvious.
He only married Jiang Yue out of responsibility for the child and because of this accident.
Gu Chen chuckled and replied, "Tsk, you're really being treated unfairly."
Not only did Gu Chen think this way at the time, but it's likely that everyone else in this circle thought the same way, and even their parents used them as negative examples to remind them.
It's fine to have fun outside, but don't go too far.
Even a mature and steady person like Zhou Ji fell into a woman's scheme, so they need to be even more careful.
This circle places the utmost importance on matching social status and background.
These seemingly carefree rich kids, who appear to be irresponsible playboys, are actually quite shrewd and will eventually follow their families' arrangements when the time comes.
Marry a wealthy heiress from a similarly prestigious family.
There are very few people who do what Zhou Ji did.
It's not uncommon for children to have gotten into trouble before. The gentler approach is to offer more money to get them to have the surgery. The slightly harsher approach is to use threats and bribes to make them give up on the idea.
To some extent, Zhou Ji is quite responsible.
Getting back to the point, Zhou Ji's current meticulous and caring manner is truly astonishing.
Jiang Yue was wearing a beige down jacket with her hood pulled up tightly. The hood was covered with fluffy, soft fox fur, which made her face look only the size of a palm. Her dark, moist eyes looked like glass that had been washed with water, and her eyelashes were straight, thick, and long.
She's as pretty as a doll.
The woman's originally fair nose was slightly reddened by the wind, and her movement of burrowing into her scarf was as cute as a newborn animal.
Jiang Yue entered the hotel, ignoring the other men in front of her. She turned to Zhou Ji and asked, "What does the ski resort look like? I can't see it."
Even though they really wanted to go out and have fun, they held back and pretended they weren't in a hurry.
Zhou Ji held her hand tightly, his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand. "We still need to take a shuttle bus to get there. Don't rush, rest for a while before we go."
Jiang Yue nodded, and after a while she explained, "I'm not in a hurry."
Zhou Ji raised an eyebrow: "Okay, you're not in a hurry."
Jiang Yue: "".
This is like trying to soothe a child!
Gu Chen looked at her soft, white face and her cherry lips opening and closing, and his heart tingled with desire.
He smiled and stepped forward, still with his usual lazy and spoiled rich kid demeanor, not particularly attentive, and greeted her: "Sister-in-law, would you like to go skiing?"
Jiang Yue had no choice but to look over when she heard the sound. She looked at Gu Chen indifferently, not afraid of him at all.
She just felt that this person had ill intentions. He had repeatedly taken the initiative to get close to her, and there must be something fishy going on. He might be planning to say something nasty to humiliate her in public.
Jiang Yue wouldn't stand for such sarcasm; when it came to cold ridicule, Her Highness the Princess had never lost.
There are many troublesome people in the capital. The noble ladies from prestigious families are all proud and have high aspirations. There are many who don't like her, but they naturally dare not openly belittle her.
In particular, her uncle's daughters didn't get along with her.
They've certainly made plenty of sarcastic and veiled sarcasm.
If Jiang Yue didn't have a sharp tongue, she would have been driven to her death by anger long ago.
"Um."
I don't want to say another word to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen seemed oblivious to her dislike, and continued, "The ski resort is still being cleaned up, so you can go and have fun in a bit."
He found her cold and impatient demeanor rather cute.
My heart itched even more.
He added, "The place was cleared out today; no one else came except us."
Jiang Yue thought this smiling tiger talked too much. Didn't he get annoyed with himself? Compared to him, the taciturn Zhou Ji was much more pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Ji grabbed her hand and hugged her waist tightly. His hands pressed against her slender waist with an extremely possessive posture. He glanced at Gu Chen and said, "You're unusually talkative today."
A brief, understated summary.
It was as calm as could be.
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat. Meeting Zhou Ji's gaze, his heart was far from calm on the surface. He couldn't guess whether Zhou Ji had seen through something.
He smiled nonchalantly: "Really? I'm alright."
Zhou Ji didn't reply, and took the room key with Jiang Yue into the elevator.
The room was on the top floor. The moment the elevator doors closed, Gu Chen saw a tall, thin man bend down and kiss the woman in his arms.
He was stunned for a moment, staring at the closed door, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Fu Qingnian suddenly spoke up: "You're really obvious."
Gu Chen's smile vanished completely, replaced by a cold, condescending expression. His tone was icy, devoid of any hint of arrogance: "What?"
Fu Qingnian didn't have time to play games with him and ruthlessly exposed him: "Stop pretending. Either don't hide it, or hide it well." After a pause, the handsome man continued: "Besides, she seems to hate you. Young Master Gu is very perceptive and shouldn't be unable to see it."
Gu Chen remained silent, his face cold.
After a few seconds, he suddenly broke into a laugh, "Aren't we both in the same boat? Aren't you also pressuring your sister-in-law to get a divorce?"
As he spoke, his fox-like eyes crinkled into a smile, and he pointed upwards: "Your own brother's wife is locked upstairs right now, what are you pretending to be, this morally superior person?"
Fu Qingnian stared intently at him with his dark eyes, and said calmly, "I'm a beast. Is this the first day you've known that?"
Gu Chenzhen was so angry she laughed.
Damn it, everyone around me is a fucking beast.
