Wen Nan's real body was on the windowsill of the upstairs guest room, devouring a bloody heart.
The feeling of fullness was transmitted to his clone in real time, making the clone sitting at the long dinner table look like it had no appetite.
Zhuang Yichen, who was sitting next to him, thought that he just had a small appetite, and that the incident with her friends before the meal affected her mood, so she asked him at the right time: "Honey, are you too tired from work? How about we stop here tonight?"
Wen Nan naturally had no objection.
Zhuang Yichen stood up and, as the hostess, began to politely see the guests off.
Xiao Fei thought about the birthday girl's wish when she was blowing out the candles just now, that is, to watch the stars with the one she cared about the most. She also thought that if she left now, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for Zhuang Yichen, her nominal wife in the arranged marriage.
So she tried to say, "It's so late. I didn't drive here. I'm afraid it will be hard to get a taxi back at this time."
Zhuang Yichen, who was seeing off the guest, heard this and said magnanimously, "It's a little late today. Xiaofei, if you don't mind, why don't you stay here for one night?"
Xiao Fei was overjoyed when she heard this, "Really? Thank you so much, Miss Zhuang."
Since Zhuang Yichen had already extended an invitation to stay overnight as the hostess, she simply looked at Wenwen Ruhuan and Xu Zhenzhen on the other side and asked them if they needed to stay together.
Like Xiao Fei, the other women were all thinking about their birthday wish of watching the stars. Even though they didn't want to spend the night in their "rival's" villa, they all readily agreed.
The villa was spacious enough and had many guest rooms. Aunt Zhang and Meimei quickly cleared out four separate guest rooms for the four people and led them in.
Four people, sitting in four different rooms, were thinking about the same thing - whether he would come tonight.
Ru Huan's room was at the end of the corridor. She looked towards the door and lowered her eyes. She saw that the light from the corridor that came in through the crack in the door was blocked by a figure.
Someone approached and stopped in front of her door.
Ruhuan stood up and walked to the door.
There was no peephole installed on the door of the guest room here, so she could only take out her mobile phone and open the interface of the smart tracking bracelet. She saw that the small dot representing "Ye Jiu" almost coincided with her current location.
It was him, coming to find her.
Realizing this, Ru Huan showed a winner's smile on her face, opened the door, and went out, "Xiao Jiu——"
However, as soon as she opened her mouth to shout, the smile on Ru Huan's face froze. What appeared before her was an empty corridor, and there was no sign of the person she had expected.
Ru Huan walked out of the room, looked around, and saw a figure disappearing in front of the terrace door on the other side of the corridor.
Why did he come to her door but refuse to come in?
Could it be that... he wanted to meet her on that terrace?
By the way, when he made a wish just now, he said he wanted to see the stars. Does that mean he wanted to see the stars with her on the terrace? Thinking of this, Ru Huan turned around and walked towards the terrace.
Ru Huan pushed open the terrace door quietly and was about to call out "Xiao Jiu" when she saw a couple by the guardrail from afar. She immediately fell silent and hid behind the flower bed nearby.
Shortly after Ru Huan walked into the terrace, there was a light knock on Wenwen's door.
She opened the door and saw a figure walking hurriedly towards the terrace. Following that figure, Wenwen also walked into the terrace full of flowers and green plants.
Similarly, after seeing the man and woman near the guardrail from a distance, Wenwen also subconsciously hid and observed secretly.
A moment later, there was a knock on Xiaofei's door. She opened the door excitedly and saw Qiqi standing outside. She handed her a small powder compact and said, "Is it your powder compact? It fell on the dining table."
Xiao Fei accepted the powder cake, thanked her, and asked, "Where's Ye Jiu?"
Qiqi raised her chin, pointed in the direction of the terrace next to her, and said loudly, "I went to that terrace. It seemed like they were waiting for someone, but I don't know who they were waiting for."
Xiaofei thanked the other party, and after Qiqi left, she quickly walked towards the terrace.
Next door, Xu Zhenzhen kept her ears perked up, listening to the noise outside and hearing Qiqi's words clearly. Shortly after Xiaofei left, Xu Zhenzhen also rushed to the terrace.
…
…
On the terrace, Wen Nan's clone stood by the guardrail, facing the night sky, without saying a word.
Behind him, Zhuang Yichen quickly stepped forward and hugged him from behind.
With her face pressed against Wen Nan's back, Zhuang Yichen said in a delicate voice, "Honey, tonight is such an important day, do you want to do something on this terrace?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Yichen's hand went around Wen Nan's waist, and his fingertips went from his abdomen to inside his belt.
Wen Nan raised his hand, grabbed the other person's wrist, pulled his hand out, then turned around, lowered his eyes to look at the other person, and said seriously: "Chenchen, I think we need to have a good talk."
Zhuang Yichen could tell that the other person looked unhappy, and had a vague feeling that he was going to talk about something, so she looked away, "I don't want to talk, let's get down to business first."
As she spoke, she raised her other hand and tried to unbutton Wen Nan's shirt, trying to get away with it.
However, one button had not yet been undone and the other hand was also restrained by Wen Nan.
Wen Nan said seriously, "Why did you invite your friends to come over tonight?"
Zhuang Yichen curled her lips and said, "It's more lively when there are more people on a birthday..."
"Chenchen," Wen Nan said solemnly, "We signed an agreement before. Our marriage is just a temporary solution to deal with the parents and elders of both sides.
"We agreed beforehand that we would divorce peacefully after the disturbance from our elders had passed. During this period, we clearly agreed not to interfere with each other's private lives. But you took the initiative tonight and introduced me to your friends. Have you ever thought about our agreement and my feelings?"
Zhuang Yichen was speechless after being asked this question.
She admitted that she had a selfish motive in arranging her friends to come over this time.
It was her vanity that got the better of her. She thought it would be a shame if she didn't introduce such a handsome husband to her friends and show off.
But it doesn't stop there, she wants the other person to enter her social circle, because... she wants to take things a step further with the other person.
But this man now asked such cold questions...
Could it be that the other party really has no thoughts in that regard at all?
Was this marriage, from the beginning to the end, just her wishful thinking? Thinking of this, Zhuang Yichen suddenly felt a little aggrieved. With red eyes and biting her lips, she stopped talking.
Her aggrieved expression was seen by the other four women hiding in the dark.

…
In Yu Shujun's guest bedroom.
Hearing Yu Shujun say the name "Void Stone" in a calm tone without a trace of emotion, Wen Nan's real body coughed for a long time and was unable to recover.
Wen Nan rarely visits the player's system mall.
One reason is that his rest time between each dungeon is not very long, and is fully occupied by things like guilds, women, and receiving awards, so he really doesn't have much free time for "online shopping".
In addition, even if he wanted to shop online, he didn't have much money to buy things. Most of his previous funds were used to buy houses and land for the guild.
However, even a player like Wen Nan who had rarely browsed the mall interface felt that the name "Void Stone" was very familiar to him when he heard it.
Void Stone, a famous, overpriced, flashy thing.
One million gold coins per gram is not enough to make it so famous.
The reason why it is so famous is that its usefulness is totally unworthy of its price——
[Void Stone: It is a top-grade gemstone that is pure white and has no impurities. When a contestant wears this gemstone, he or she will receive a gorgeous accessory that perfectly demonstrates your noble status and the envious gazes of other contestants!]
This is the system description of this prop.
It’s hard to say whether you can get envious glances from other players by wearing this thing, but you will definitely get a lot of glances like “this is a stupid guy with a lot of money”.
In general, this stone seems to be the biggest consumerism trap in the system mall of this game world.
What fool would spend so many gold coins to buy a piece of stone that is good for nothing except its appearance?
Now……
I am the one who was taken advantage of?
Although I couldn't help but feel sad, this was Yu Shujun's intention after all, and once this thing was purchased, it could not be returned or exchanged.
Therefore, Wen Nan could not blame Yu Shujun for spending money recklessly, but he still couldn't help asking: "How did you think of using this void stone to carve a gift?"
Yu Shujun replied seriously: "It is rumored that the Void Stone is the only thing that players can take out when they leave this game world."
Just this simple sentence made Wen Nan fall silent.
In an instant, he understood the other person's thoughts.
Yu Shujun was afraid that one day, Wen Nan would leave this game world and return to his real life, and they would have no contact again.
She was afraid that one day, Wen Nan would forget her.
She wanted to give Wen Nan a gift that he could wear no matter where he was, so that he could always remember her. (End of this chapter)
