Chapter 238: Girl's Red

The banquet hall was filled with celebration. Shuang Xu was dragged away by her friends to take photos. Xu Zhen brought a gift box over and handed it to He Tingzhou: "This is what Mr. Shen just sent. It's a wedding gift for you and your wife."

He Tingzhou was holding a glass of champagne to entertain the guests who came to congratulate him. Xu Zhen opened the lid and glanced inside.

There are two bottles of red wine.

Xu Zhen didn't know the meaning of these two bottles of wine. He thought that the wine sent by Master Shen must be good wine and would be used in the wedding, so he asked, "Do you want to open it?"

Before He Tingzhou could say anything, Yue Zifeng's voice rang out: "Hey, isn't this the wine from the year my sister was born? Shen Yu finally decided to take it out?"

As he spoke, he reached out for the red wine: "Here, let me taste it..."

He Tingzhou simply put the lid back on. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and his hand was not pinched.

"No." He Tingzhou ordered, "Send it to my room. You can do it yourself."

This means that he wants to collect it. Xu Zhen understood the importance of the box and held it steadily in his hand. When he passed by Yue Zi's cover, he pressed the lid defensively.

"Why are you so stingy?" Yue Zifeng looked at Xu Zhen's back with dissatisfaction. "Daughters' weddings are for entertaining guests on the wedding day. I have worked so hard for you two, and you won't even let me drink a sip of wine?"

He Tingzhou waved to a waiter, who took a bottle of 53% Maotai from the tray and put it in his hand: "Drink slowly."

Many of He Xingwei's comrades-in-arms and Shen Changyuan's good colleagues came to the dinner, all of whom were high-ranking and powerful figures.

Shuang Xu followed He Tingzhou to toast many elders and guests. After standing for a long time, her high heels felt a little tired.

It was rare to see the prince of the He family on a normal day, and even rarer to get a good look from him like today, so many guests tried their best to take the opportunity to get close to him.

He Tingzhou is a very difficult person to please, but it would not be easy if one started with his newlywed wife.

Shuang Xu heard more flattery that night than in the past year. One guest was very eloquent and insisted on chatting with her for almost ten minutes, and they chatted with each other like close friends of longtime friends.

From the other person's tone, she felt that he was very familiar with He Tingzhou. She listened patiently with a smile on her face. When her feet could not support her anymore, she leaned on He Tingzhou for support.

He Tingzhou looked down at her, put his arm around her waist, and took her weight onto himself so that she could stand more easily.

Shuang Xu asked quietly: "Is he your friend?"

He raised an eyebrow: "You were chatting so enthusiastically, I thought you were my friend."

“……”It seems that no one knows him.

This familiar guest was still praising them for being a perfect match. He Tingzhou took the wine and brushed it against Shuangxu's ear, whispering, "Go back to the room and wait for me."

Shuang Xu also wanted to slip away, so he turned his head and looked around.

He Tingzhou picked up the wine, clinked glasses with the guest, and lazily leaned over to block the guest's line of sight: "Really? Where exactly is it more suitable?"

The other party immediately gave her 360-degree praise without blind spots, but halfway through he realized that the beautiful bride in his heart had disappeared at some point.

Shuang Xu returned to the penthouse suite and immediately took off her high heels. She felt much more comfortable walking barefoot on the ground.

At the dinner, He Tingzhou was toasted one after another and didn't eat much. She ordered some food and a mousse cake.

Seeing the gift box on the table in the middle of the suite, she opened it, took out the red wine inside, and held it in her hand to examine it.

It was much easier for He Tingzhou to leave. He always did what he wanted, and he left in a grand manner in front of all the guests, and no one dared to stop him.

He walked out of the elevator, walked on the silent carpet to the suite, opened the door, took off his dress jacket, untied the bow tie around his neck and threw it on the hanger.

Shuang Xu stood at the table with his back to him, holding a bottle of freshly boiled red wine and pouring it into two tall glasses.

He Tingzhou walked over, picked up the red wine she put down and took a look at it.

These are the two bottles that Shen Yugang sent.

He laughed angrily. He could guard against Yue Zifeng who was always thinking about him, but he couldn't guard against his wife who was tempted by something.

"Do you know what kind of wine this is? Just drink it."

Shuang Xu handed him a glass and said, "Isn't wine meant to be drunk?"

That makes sense. He Tingzhou took the cup.

Shuang Xu remembered Shen Yu saying that the winery was flooded due to a flood when she was born, so there was very little wine left and the taste was also affected.

She sniffed it first and found the aroma quite good. She brought the cup to her lips and took a sip slowly, frowning slightly.

"This wine really doesn't taste good."

He Tingzhou leaned against the table and took a sip. The taste of this bottle of wine was indeed average, with a strong bitter and astringent feeling of tannins. After enduring the initial sourness and bitterness, there was a lingering sweet aroma.

It's not smooth at first, but has complex layers, and after the bitterness comes more surprises.

He Tingzhou said: "I like it very much."

"Really?" Shuang Xu saw him drinking with gusto and wondered if she had drawn a hasty conclusion. She tried the drink again and frowned again, looking at him with doubtful eyes, "Does your sense of taste buds fail? It doesn't taste good at all."

He Tingzhou: "I said I liked it, I didn't say it tasted good."

"You still like it even though it doesn't taste good?"

He Tingzhou pulled her to his side and hugged her: "Who made me fall in love with a bitter melon? Maybe I was born to love bitterness."

Mingming is a person who loves candy and sweets.

Shuangxu brought the cake over, and the two of them shared the same cake with forks.

While the guests were still in the banquet hall celebrating the newlyweds, the two of them were hiding in their room, enjoying cake and red wine.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but when I drank the bottle of red wine again, I tasted some different flavors.

When the bottle of wine was almost empty, she suddenly had an idea: "I'll make you a bitter melon cake next time."

He Tingzhou was amused by her malicious idea: "Do you have an opinion about me or about the cake?"

Shuang Xu tilted his head: "Don't you like to suffer?"

He Tingzhou took the cup and cake plate from her hands and put them aside, then picked her up by her legs.

Shuang Xu did not struggle, but skillfully circled his platinum crystal.

He Tingzhou carried her into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed. She bounced on the mattress, but before she could sit up, he pushed her back down.

His hand pinched the itchy flesh on her waist, and Shuang Xu began to flutter in his arms like a fish, smiling until her face turned red: "It's itchy, stop it...what are you doing!"

"Look for the switch." He Tingzhou said, "Where is my Melon Princess?"

“…”

*

A wedding is a day for indulging yourself in indulgence, and getting drunk on this day seems to be a natural thing to do.

Even someone like Shen Yu who rarely loses his composure.

He was very drunk and it was Yue Zifeng who sent him back home.

It was almost noon when I woke up the next day, with a hangover headache accompanied by a fatigue that seeped deep into my bones.

He walked out of the bedroom and poured a glass of water. The light and shadows in the living room were dim with the curtains closed. Shen Yu opened the curtains and Yue Zifeng sat up on the sofa, groaning: "Fuck, my waist..."

"Why are you here?" Shen Yu asked.

"You still have the nerve to ask? You were so drunk yesterday. I was afraid you would vomit to death in the middle of the night and no one would collect your body." Yue Zifeng rubbed his waist and got up from the sofa. "Is there anything to eat? Give me something to eat."

"Do you want to eat turtle food?"

Shen Yu stood in front of the ecological fish tank, holding a delicate pair of tongs, feeding the turtle with turtle food.

Yue Zifeng approached with a puzzled look on his face: "When did you raise a turtle?"

"Three months ago."

This turtle has a round head and a cute appearance. Yue Zifeng recognized it and said, "Is this the one my sister raised before? Wasn't it lost?"

Shen Yu did not deny it. After feeding the turtle, he put it in a sunny place to bask in the sun.

This turtle disappeared inexplicably on the day Shuangxu moved out of the Shen family, and miraculously reappeared half a year later. Perhaps it was because the winter in Yancheng was too cold and the West African side-necked turtle was not cold-resistant.

No one knows where it went or what it went through in the past six months. It disappeared without a warning and returned safely. Just like its name, it is called Guigui.

When she found it, it was in the bathroom of Shuangxu's room. Wang Sao hurriedly grabbed it and ran to ask Shen Yu: "Do you want to send it to Miss Shuangxu?"

Shen Yu said no, she didn't need it anymore.

Her fish tank had been moved to Taiheyuan, and it contained the fish that He Tingzhou had given her.

Shen Yu brought the turtle back to his apartment and bought an ecological fish tank to raise it.

It is carefree and spends its days eating turtle food and basking in the sun.

This turtle has a lifespan of 30 to 50 years, so it still has a long life ahead of it.
