Chapter 309 If you dare to steal the bride, I'll go with you.
"Really? Congratulations."
Mu Jin was overjoyed and was the first to raise his wine glass, which directly touched Bai Yu's glass.
"This toast is to wish you and your sister-in-law a long and happy marriage."
Bai Yu first took the juice from the waiter and personally filled Tong Hua's glass.
The posture was intimate.
Then, the two raised their glasses together and clinked them with Mu Jin's.
That scene was absolutely horrifying!
Sheng Weiwei whispered something and put down her wine glass.
Excuse me for a moment.
She turned and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
She needs to get some fresh air.
As the elevator descended from the fourth floor to the first floor, a blast of cold air rushed in as soon as the doors opened.
She stood at the entrance of the lobby, looking at the fine rain outside, and the chill made her shiver.
Even though I only drank two small glasses of baijiu, my chest felt burning, and my eyes were also hot and swollen...
She didn't want to stay in that place.
I don't want to see Bai Yu and Tong Hua standing together.
"If you don't go back soon, your little assistant will be plied with alcohol and left to get drunk."
A familiar male voice sounded from behind.
Who else could it be but Bai Yu?
When did he come out with them?
Sheng Weiwei's cheeks were flushed with a light red from the alcohol, which stood out in the cool air.
"Why is Mr. Bai here instead of taking good care of Miss Tong at the dinner table?"
Her tone was sharp, with a hint of coldness.
Bai Yu didn't answer. He slowly lit a cigarette, and the smoke from his thin lips blurred his handsome features.
He then asked casually, "Jealous?"
Sheng Weiwei snorted coldly.
"I eat everything, but I'm not jealous."
Don't overestimate yourself.
Bai Yu stared intently at her stubbornness, his deep eyes burning into her.
"Sheng Weiwei, do you still love me?"
Sheng Weiwei froze completely.
She quickly regained her cold expression. "Mr. Bai, you're about to get engaged to Miss Tong, and now you're asking about your ex? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
"predecessor?"
Bai Yu repeated the word, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Sheng Weiwei, have I ever been your ex? Have you ever acknowledged my identity in front of any of your relatives or friends?"
"Could it be that I'm not the bed partner who's always been hiding in the shadows?"
Sheng Weiwei's breath hitched.
...I have nothing to say.
Because everything he said was true.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the churning air in her chest.
"Bai Yu, the past is the past. No matter who was right or wrong, it's no longer important."
"Since you already have someone you love, then I wish you... happiness."
She practically choked out the word "happiness" through gritted teeth.
After listening, Bai Yu stubbed out his cigarette and suddenly took a step closer to her.
The chill emanating from him and the smell of tobacco instantly enveloped her.
"Sheng Weiwei, you can do without Bai Yu."
His voice was low and filled with hatred.
"Zhan Xiao, you don't want it either?"
Sheng Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
Is there a difference between these two people?
Bai Yu saw through her thoughts at a glance, and the disappointment in his eyes was so deep it was impossible to hide.
"Didn't you cry and beg to find Zhan Xiao back then? Now that he's back, standing alive and well in front of you, you're going to discard him like trash."
"Stop putting on that pitiful victim act. Tell me, who's the scumbag here?"
Sheng Weiwei was speechless after his question, then suddenly changed the subject:
"You slept with her?"
Bai Yu fell silent.
He just looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"What kind of answer do you want to hear?" he countered.
"Tell the truth!" she insisted.
"No." Bai Yu's answer was crisp and decisive.
But he immediately added, "However, after the engagement, it's hard to say. After all, I'm a normal man, and you know that all too well."
Sheng Weiwei clenched her fists so tightly that her sharp nails almost dug into the soft flesh of her palms.
She dared not think about it, she absolutely dared not think about the scene of him being intimate with other women.
Bai Yu's tone suddenly softened again.
"Sheng Weiwei, I'm handing the initiative over to you now."
His gaze was fixed on her, each word clear and distinct.
"If you dare to try and steal my bride, I'll go with you."
Sheng Weiwei's pupils suddenly contracted.
What does he mean by that?
"Bai Yu, in your eyes, is marriage just a game?" she asked incredulously.
“But in your eyes, I’m not even worthy of being a child’s play.” He answered quickly, even with a hint of a smile, though the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Sheng Weiwei: ...
Bai Yu uttered another sentence, which sounded like a final ultimatum.
"Sheng Weiwei, there are only five days left."
"If you don't come, we'll never meet again."
After saying that, he stopped looking at her, turned around, and strode away.
The tall figure resolutely disappeared at the elevator.
Sheng Weiwei stood frozen in place, the icy air seeping into her limbs and bones.
He was pressuring her.
Force her to make a choice.
He was gambling the rest of his life on one of her decisions.
That night, Sheng Weiwei tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In the end, she still made a phone call to Niannian.
At this moment, Gu Xingnian was being entangled by Fu Beichen. The two were on the bed, and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous. It seemed that things were about to escalate to the point of no return.
The phone rang abruptly, shattering the tranquil atmosphere of the room.
"The phone is ringing, quick, let me go."
Gu Xingnian reached for the phone.
Fu Beichen grabbed her slender wrist, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Don't answer."
His voice, hoarse from just having showered, was exceptionally alluring.
"Let me go! It's Weiwei who's looking for me. Something might have happened at home." Gu Xingnian panicked and struggled a bit.
Fu Beichen stared at her domineeringly, a slight smile curving his thin lips.
"Then, will you give me some extra perks later?"
Gu Xingnian bit her lip, her cheeks flushed.
"Okay. Give me the phone."
Fu Beichen then let go of her hand, handed her the phone, grabbed a bathrobe and put it on, before lazily walking to the balcony to smoke.
The balcony door wasn't closed properly, and the night breeze carried a faint smell of tobacco in.
Gu Xingnian spoke for a long time.
When Fu Beichen stubbed out his cigarette and walked in, her expression was somewhat somber.
He embraced her from behind, his warm lips landing on her snow-white neck, kissing her tenderly, sending a shiver of indescribable pleasure through Gu Xingnian.
Gu Xingnian reached out and nudged him.
But he stubbornly clung to me again, like a clingy big cat.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xingnian asked a question.
Did you know that my brother is getting engaged?
Fu Beichen paused for a moment, somewhat unexpectedly.
"They're progressing so quickly?"
Gu Xingnian turned around, looked at him, and said another sentence.
"But the person he's getting engaged to isn't Weiwei."
"It was a woman named Tong Hua."
She stared into Fu Beichen's eyes. "Do you know this woman?"
Fu Beichen paused for a moment, then replied with unusual seriousness, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. The surname is Tong; it should be the Tong family from Country F."
Gu Xingnian looked depressed.
"How could my brother have fallen for someone else? Doesn't he want Tuantuan and Yuanyuan anymore?"
Fu Beichen picked her up and carried her upstairs to the spa pool.
His deep voice rang in her ear.
"I think it's Sheng Weiwei who doesn't want her older brother."
"My brother was upset, so he just grabbed someone and got engaged. That must be it."
The man's analysis actually made some sense.
"You need to talk to her and tell her not to be so willful. There won't be another Bai Yu in the world."
Gu Xingnian instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her cheek against his firm chest.
"Honey, let's go back tomorrow. I'm a little worried about her."
"That depends on how you try to please me tonight."
Fu Beichen gently placed her into the warm spa pool, the water rippling as his tall frame pressed against her.
"If I'm satisfied, I might consider letting you go earlier."
His eyes held an undisguised wickedness.
Gu Xingnian took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss, her small hands boldly roaming over his firm abdominal muscles.
Before long, Fu Beichen was completely captivated.
This little devil is getting better and better.
He melted her completely into the pool of churning spring water.
...
The night was deep.
Their last night on Happiness Island was filled with romance.
That was the glorious chapter of their lives.
...
When Sheng Weiwei arrived at the company the next day, she was completely listless.
She sat at her workstation, staring blankly at the computer screen, unable to concentrate on a single word on the document.
This state is completely inconsistent with her usual persona of being outspoken, energetic, and rebellious.
However, just thinking about Bai Yu's face made her feel terrible; her mind was a mess, completely blank.
noon.
Sheng Chengjun couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he took her to her favorite Michelin-starred restaurant.
The table was laden with exquisite dishes, from escargot to Wellington steak, all tantalizingly fragrant.
But Sheng Weiwei just picked up her knife and fork and poked at the food on her plate listlessly, showing no appetite at all.
Seeing her listless appearance, Sheng Chengjun spoke up.
"I'm thinking of transferring you to a different position. Which department do you prefer?"
She had outstanding achievements in the business department and had now graduated. He wanted her to go to another department to continue her training so that she could take over the company as soon as possible.
Sheng Weiwei paused for a moment, then looked up, her eyes showing no emotion.
"You're the chairman, you can make the arrangements, I'm fine with anything."
Sheng Chengjun was fairly satisfied with the answer, and he nodded.
"I'm glad you said that. Just don't come to me to complain when things don't go your way."
Sheng Weiwei finally reacted, and she looked up at her father.
"Don't worry, it won't."
"I'll probably just talk to my mom."
Sheng Chengjun: ...
She casually cut off a small piece of steak, slowly put it in her mouth, and added, "..."
"Can I take my assistant with me?"
Sheng Chengjun raised an eyebrow, his eyes holding a scrutinizing look.
"Trying to use connections?"
He slowly swirled the wine in his glass, his tone slightly mocking.
"That's not impossible, just eat everything on the table."
Sheng Weiwei's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
"Do you take me for Qingning?"
Upon hearing this name, Sheng Chengjun's smile faded.
He sighed and gently put down his wine glass.
"I wonder how that girl is doing now. Your mother and I really miss her."
Seeing her father's instantly dejected expression, Sheng Weiwei's heart softened.
She forced a smile.
"She's fine, don't worry. She has someone taking care of her. She can eat and drink well and is very active."
"You know where she is?" Sheng Chengjun's expression lit up instantly, and he leaned forward slightly, his face full of surprise.
Sheng Weiwei deliberately kept everyone in suspense, winking mischievously.
"When you and Mom respond to the national call and have a third child, she will come back to help you take care of the baby."
"Making fun of me?"
Sheng Chengjun was amused by her. He reached across the table and skillfully pinched her beautiful cheek as a small punishment.
Sheng Weiwei immediately rolled her eyes at him and covered her face.
"Oh dear, how old am I? Is it appropriate for you to pinch my face? Do you still think of me as that chubby little girl who weighs 130 pounds?"
Before she turned sixteen, Sheng Weiwei was indeed a chubby girl. Later, she fell in love with Gu Chuan and lost weight.
Sheng Chengjun withdrew his hand, his gaze softening.
He sighed softly, "In Dad's heart, you will always be that cutest little chubby girl."
These words finally relieved Sheng Weiwei's depressed mood.
She grinned, revealing a bright smile.
Little did anyone know that this heartwarming scene was witnessed by a stylishly dressed woman in a nearby corner.
She quietly raised her phone, pointed it at them, and took several pictures, giving them a meaningful smile...
