Xu Chunmai smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I am Fu Linchuan's legal wife. You're right, he is a married man, and that wife is me."
Gao Ning originally thought her words would provoke Xu Chunmai.
You know, there are plenty of beautiful girls, and plenty of girls who want to climb up to rich and powerful men.
She considered herself to be the type of woman men liked, and she felt she understood men very well.
However, the way Yu Wenyuan looked at Xu Chunmai just now made her uncomfortable.
Yu Wenyuan was originally pursuing her, but now Xu Chunmai has appeared and has actually drawn Yu Wenyuan's attention away from her.
In her view, Xu Chunmai was her formidable rival.
She thought that Xu Chunmai, like her, was an outsider in someone else's family, but she didn't expect that Xu Chunmai was the legitimate wife.
Gao Ning stared blankly at Xu Chunmai, "Are you Fu Linchuan's wife?"
How could Fu Linchuan possibly marry such a beautiful wife?
Moreover, Fu Linchuan said he has two more children.
Is this what a woman who has given birth to two children should look like?
Xu Chunmai walked out, saying, "I am Fu Linchuan's wife. I'll answer you one last time. I don't really understand. Whether I'm Fu Linchuan's wife or not seems to have nothing to do with you. Could it be that you like my man?"
Gao Ning frowned and clenched her fists.
She had to admit that Fu Linchuan was indeed good-looking.
"You're overthinking it. My boyfriend, Yu Wenyuan, is rich and powerful. Why would I like your man?"
After saying that, Gao Ning turned and left.
Xu Chunmai returned to her private room without showing any unusual behavior. Everyone continued to eat and drink together, creating a lively atmosphere.
After the meal, Xu Chunmai became even more familiar with Fu Linchuan's roommates.
After finishing their meal, the group walked outside.
It was originally very warm inside, but as soon as you stepped outside, the cold air outside instantly made you feel refreshed.
"Linchuan, you and your sister-in-law should go home first. We won't see you off; we're going back to school," Meng Ziping shouted.
Fu Linchuan smiled and said, "Okay, see you at school tomorrow."
Just as the group was about to leave, they heard a familiar voice, "Gao Liang?"
Lu Gaoliang didn't even need to turn around to know it was Gao Ning.
He hadn't seen Gao Ning since their breakup, but he never expected to see her here.
Gao Ning was waiting for Wen Yuan to get the car when she unexpectedly saw Lu Gaoliang.
Her feelings for Lu Gaoliang were complicated; she disliked him, yet cared about him deeply.
Lu Gaoliang turned his head and glanced at her. Gao Ning suddenly felt that Lu Gaoliang was looking at her as if she were a stranger.
How long has it been?
Is that all there is to it?
Gao Ning walked up to Lu Gaoliang and said, "Gaoliang, long time no see. You're here for hot pot too?"
Lu Gaoliang chuckled lightly, "You can eat it, but I can't?"
As he spoke, he put one arm around Meng Ziping's shoulder and the other around He Qingyang's shoulder, and the group was about to leave.
Meng Ziping and the others didn't really know why the two of them broke up.
But good buddies are naturally more important than his ex-girlfriend.
Gao Ning could hardly believe that Lu Gaoliang was treating her so coldly.
Eating hot pot here isn't cheap, she glanced at Fu Linchuan beside her.
"Lu Gaoliang, your classmate is really generous, treating you to hot pot here."
Fu Linchuan raised an eyebrow. "You're mistaken. It wasn't me who invited us; it was Lu Gaoliang. You probably don't know, but Lu Gaoliang won a prize in our school's competition. Our teacher said he has a bright future ahead of him."
Lu Gaoliang quickly understood what Fu Linchuan meant.
Gao Ning gripped the corner of her scarf. "Fu Linchuan, what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything. Whatever you think it means, that's what I mean." Fu Linchuan pulled Xu Chunmai and left.
Lu Gaoliang and the others didn't wait any longer; they abandoned Gao Ning and left.
He Qingyang and the others probably guessed something, but since they were all smart, no one asked any further questions.
On the way back, Xu Chunmai said to Fu Linchuan, "I ran into Gao Ning when I went to the restroom. She probably thought I was the girl you were seeing outside."
Fu Linchuan frowned, his dislike for Gao Ning intensifying.
"Did you tell her that you are my legitimate wife?"
Xu Chunmai laughed and said, "Of course I do. I told her that I am your legal wife."
Fu Linchuan laughed, "Chunmai, you're great."
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Chunmai into his arms. Xu Chunmai felt that the man beside her, with his strong arms, was her safest haven.
Soon, Fu Linchuan and his classmates took their first semester's final exams, after which it was winter break.
Everyone else was on holiday, but Fu Linchuan and his six roommates were not.
The other six people in Luo Jingtong's group were also kept behind for intensive training.
After all, the competition is in March, so we certainly can't waste time now.
During this period, Kyoto's second spring barley noodle shop opened.
Unlike the previous store which was located behind a school, this store is situated in one of Kyoto's most bustling areas.
In Fu Linchuan's words, in twenty years, this will be a long-established shop in Kyoto.
In this way, Fu Linping and Fu Linwei each owned a shop and also hired waiters.
Fu Linchuan also instructed them to select a reliable, capable, and competent employee from among the newly hired waiters to be the next store manager.
In this way, the two of them can free up their time to open another branch.
This year, the Lunar New Year is relatively early.
Before the Chinese New Year, Fu Linchuan and Luo Jingtong's teams also had a holiday, and those from other places went home.
Luo Jingtong looked at Fu Linchuan and invited him, "Come on, let's go to my house. I'll show you my cooking skills."
Fu Linchuan simply couldn't believe it. "You can cook? You can't just burn the kitchen down?"
Luo Jingtong curled his lip, "Bullshit! You underestimate me. If I couldn't cook, what would I eat when I was a child? Do you think my second uncle would always take care of me?"
Fu Linchuan then remembered that Luo Jingtong's father had passed away when he was very young.
His mother is single and has to take care of the family and go to work, so she really can't be in two places at once.
Therefore, Luo Jingtong's second uncle often took care of the mother and son.
"I'm sorry," Fu Linchuan apologized quickly.
Luo Jingtong laughed, "Oh, it's really rare to hear those two words from you. Are you coming or not?"
Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "Okay, call me when you're ready. But not after the fifth day of the new year, I need to go home."
Luo Jingtong didn't quite understand, "Isn't this your home? What kind of home are you going back to?"
Fu Linchuan said, "I'm going back to Xuancheng; I still have some things to take care of."
Luo Jingtong didn't ask any further questions. He was clearly the grandson of former Chief Fu Qiming, so why had he gone to Xuancheng?
"Okay, I'll contact you before the fifth day of the lunar new year, or let me know when you come back from Xuancheng."
