Eighteen stars
After he left, Lin Tang also stood up. After cleaning up, she sat on the sofa and opened the plum wine on the table. This was the plum wine Feng Chibai had asked his assistant to bring when he sent over the clothes.
It was rare that she didn't have to get up before 7:30 tomorrow, so she didn't plan to go to bed so early tonight.
She poured a glass of wine, thought for a moment, and then poured another glass for someone else. Then, holding the glass, she turned on the TV in front of her. She rarely watched TV series, either because she was too busy or because she had no interest in them.
But at this moment, I inexplicably felt interested and randomly clicked on an idol drama in the recommendation column to watch.
This kind of thing is magical. Before watching it, I feel that none of them are to my taste, but once I have watched it, no matter how many things are criticized in the plot, I will force myself to keep watching despite the unreasonable parts. I may even get more excited as I watch, and I want to know what more outrageous plots will happen later.
So, when Feng Chibai came out, what he saw was Lin Tang squatting on the sofa with a glass in his hand, staring at the TV without blinking, fascinated.
He sat down next to her, and the man next to her handed him a glass filled with liquid from the table without taking his eyes off the screen.
The show reached a plot where the second female lead had been in love with the male lead for many years and was jealous of the female lead for having his love, so she made up her mind and took the female lead to the swimming pool and pushed her into the water.
Seeing the heroine floundering in the pool because she couldn't swim, Lin Tang's heart tightened, and she felt the same way. Gritting her teeth, she moved closer to Feng Chibai and asked abruptly, "Do you have a childhood friend of the opposite sex?"
Feng Chibai glanced at the screen calmly. It was a very idiotic plot. After a pause, he replied, "No."
Lin Tang said "Oh" and asked, "What about the person who has admired you for many years?"
Feng Chibai frowned slightly, turned sideways, and found it funny: "As my wife, it seems that you shouldn't be curious about this kind of thing."
"As your wife, I'm curious about this kind of thing." Lin Tang said confidently, gesturing with his fingers. "Don't suddenly show up and push me into the water. I can't swim."
The male lead in the TV series is also from a wealthy family. It is said that art comes from life. The contract does not state that getting married means risking one's life. She must ask in advance.
Feng Chibai said patiently, "Don't worry, the people of the Feng family don't have the guts to touch them."
This finally made Lin Tang breathe a sigh of relief. His gaze slowly slid down to the glass that still contained the full amount of wine. He asked, "Why don't you drink?"
Feng Chibai lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fixed for a few seconds, and he said for no apparent reason: "Didn't we say that we would drink a cup of wedding wine that day?"
Lin Tang was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and said timidly, "It's because I'm afraid you won't dare."
This statement was indeed quite provocative. He raised his eyes, a faint smile on his face: "You don't dare, do you?"
Lin Tang glared at her. "Is that the way to play it?" She gritted her teeth and laughed, "I dare. Why not?"
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Feng Chibai's hand that was holding the wine glass, and wrapped her other hand around his wrist. She ignored him and drank the "cup of wine" in a standard manner.
Feng Chibai froze, as if he hadn't guessed she was serious. Seeing her finish her drink and wink at him provocatively, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged. He first took a leisurely sip of the wine, then drank it down his throat in mouthfuls.
He put down his glass and reminded her, "It's getting late."
However, Lin Tang had no intention of going to sleep and replied nonchalantly, "It's rare that we don't have to get up early, why don't you stay up a little longer?"
Feng Chibai had already stood up and helped her turn off the TV. "Let's go buy a ring tomorrow morning."
This sudden sentence left Lin Tang stunned. She paused for a moment before asking, "Why are you buying this?"
Feng Chibai crossed his arms and looked at her calmly: "It's been almost a week since we got married, and your fingers are still empty. What do you think they will think?"
After thinking about it, it makes some sense.
But as the alcohol took effect, she became more energetic and couldn't fall asleep even after lying in bed for half a day.
She glanced sideways, trying to see what was happening to the person beside her in the dim light. Feng Chibai was lying quietly, his eyelids closed and his body motionless.
Lin Tang suddenly had an idea. He half-supported himself and stretched out his index finger to measure his breathing. However, before he reached his destination, he was grabbed by a strong hand.
She wasn't embarrassed to be caught, and said, "Are you still asleep?"
Feng Chibai didn't reply and put her hand down.
Lin Tang lay down again, his mind still clear. She stared at the ceiling and began to ask about his family affairs: "Hey, your eldest brother hasn't married yet?"
Hearing a "hmm", he continued to ask: "Why don't you marry? Haven't you met the right one?"
"have no idea."
"Your family is quite even, one parent and two kids. It's really lively. Did they fight when they were young?"
"No, we rarely see each other."
Lin Tang murmured, "Your grandfather must love you very much. I feel like he's the easiest person to get along with in your family."
A distinct inhalation sound came from beside her. The next second, a large hand covered her mouth, and a low, hoarse voice rang in her ears: "Go to sleep."
There was also a hint of negotiation.
Lin Tang cooperated and shut up obediently.
*
The next morning, Lin Tang was awakened by a ringing phone.
But the ringing only lasted for a moment and was soon picked up.
The person next to him was obviously also woken up by the ringing, but he quickly adjusted himself and said hello.
Because they were close, the voice on the other end of the phone could be clearly heard by Lin Tang.
It was the old man calling: "Where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back?"
Lin Tang lazily half-opened his eyes. Feng Chibai was already sitting up, leaning against the headboard. He was about to explain when she suddenly grabbed his hand. He saw her struggling to get up while stretching out her hand to let him pass the phone, silently saying, "I'll do it, I have experience."
He hesitated, then handed the phone over.
After getting the phone, Lin Tang turned over again and lay back on the bed. Before he opened his eyes, he replied, "Grandpa, we went to Jingluo to see my grandma yesterday. We came back too late, so we chose to stay out for one night. I hope Grandpa won't blame us."
When he heard it was Lin Tang, the old man's tone immediately slowed down. He laughed twice and said, "No, you must be too tired from rushing back and forth. Did you rest well last night?"
Those words fell into Feng Chibai's ears clearly, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
After chatting for a few more words, the other party finally hung up. She returned the phone to Feng Chibai, yawned, and went back to sleep.
When he got up again, Feng Chibai had already tidied himself, got a cup of coffee, and was sitting on the sofa reading documents.
Hearing the noise coming from her side, Feng Chibai cast a glance over and urged, "Hurry up and pack up, we'll be out soon."
"knew."
The ring shop the two went to was located in a shopping mall under the name of Yunhe.
Because they had greeted each other in advance, the clerk placed several rings in front of them as soon as they entered the store and introduced them, "Mr. Feng, these are the latest models of this season. They are not yet sold in the store. Please take a look and see which style you like better."
Feng Chibai glanced at Lin Tang.
Lin Tang understood what he meant, uttered an "oh", and said casually: "I'm fine with either, you can choose."
Feng Chibai nodded, not taking it to heart. He pointed at one at random and asked the clerk to start measuring the size.
While waiting, there was suddenly another person beside me.
The moment Lin Tang saw Zhao Yingxun, they both said in unison, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Yingxun was the first to explain: "I saw your figure at the door just now and it felt very familiar. I didn't expect it was really you."
He glanced at the person next to her, blinked, leaned down, and asked Lin Tang in a low voice: "Why are you two together?"
Lin Tang raised his chin and gestured for him to look at his hand being manipulated: "Oh, you're getting married. Come and see the ring."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Feng Chibai glanced over and happened to meet Zhao Yingxun's eyes.
Zhao Yingxun was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the person in front of him was the investor of his project. He quickly applauded, shaking his head and exclaiming in admiration, "Wow, President Feng and our Lin Tang are such a perfect match."
Lin Tang tutted his words, a little annoyed by this inexplicable sentence, and couldn't help but curse: "Are you out of your mind?"
Zhao Yingxun was not annoyed. He pushed her arm and asked her to sit closer to make room for him.
He sat down, afraid that Feng Chibai would hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Hey, didn't you say you didn't know each other last time? How come you got married so soon?"
It would take a lot of effort to explain this from the beginning, so Lin Tang chose to keep it simple: "He fell in love with me."
Zhao Yingxun nodded affirmatively; he had already seen through it. He patted her again and then discussed, "Since we're old friends, could you ask your husband to allocate another three million so we can make this project bigger and stronger together?"
Lin Tang: “…”
She said angrily, "If I tell him, he will listen. Besides, my words are no longer effective now."
Before the agreement was signed, Feng Chibai was willing to comply with her request because he needed it. But now that he had it, the situation was different.
Zhao Yingxun choked and complained, "You didn't say anything at the beginning."
At that time, he just brushed it off by saying that he was not familiar with the matter. Later, he went to Feng Chibai himself to negotiate the project.
Before Lin Tang could say anything, Feng Chibai suddenly stood up and said to Lin Tang, "Go next door."
Lin Tang uttered a confused "ah" and followed without even realizing what was going on. Not only her, but Zhao Yingxun was also the one who followed without even being called.
There was a suit shop next door, and seeing him go in, she probably guessed what was going on. Looking at the custom-made suit that had been specially delivered to the shop yesterday, she asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to try on a suit?"
Feng Chibai didn't hide it: "There's an auction tonight. Do you want to come?"
Lin Tang waved his hands quickly: "I won't go."
But suddenly she remembered something and asked again, "No, you have something to do tonight, what should I do? Leave me alone to face your family?"
Feng Chibai seemed to have thought of a plan for her long ago, and said without hesitation: "If you want, you can go back to where you stayed last night. I will pick you up after finishing my work."
Lin Tang said "oh" and inadvertently looked at Zhao Yingxun, and instantly understood what each other meant.
In the evening, the auction ended at around eight o'clock.
Because there were a few friends there, Feng Chibai was directly driven into the bar.
He sat in a booth in the corner, with only a glass of water in front of him because he had to go back to his old house. He was not one to kill time, and he generally wouldn't refuse an invitation from a friend.
But thinking of someone, he took out his cell phone and sent her a message: I'm outside with my friends, I'll pick you up later.
After waiting for three minutes, there was still no reply from the other party.
He put his phone on vibrate mode, turned off the screen, and put it in his pocket.
I had just casually glanced at his phone screen. The avatar on the other side was a cartoon sketch with two pigtails, clearly a girl's. Ye Xincheng raised his glass, raised his eyebrows lazily, and smiled generously: "Reporting to my sister-in-law?"
Feng Chibai nodded. He hadn't hidden his marriage from them, but since they hadn't asked who the other party was, he hadn't mentioned it either.
Ye Xincheng took a sip of wine. The strong smell made him frown. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Is my sister-in-law strict?"
Feng Chibai glanced at his phone again, but still received no reply. He replied calmly, "Whatever."
Ye Xincheng laughed heartily, "Isn't that good? Why do you look a little unhappy?"
"Hey." He leaned forward and moved closer to Feng Chibai. "Tell me what you think. Getting married so early, aren't you afraid of losing all your freedom?"
Feng Chibai didn't answer, but his eyes suddenly fixed on one spot. Seeing him stunned, Ye Xincheng subconsciously followed his gaze.
Not far away, in front of the bar, the young master of the Zhao family was sitting there with his face turned to the side. There was a woman sitting next to him, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
"Hey, is that girl Zhao Yingxun's friend?"
In his impression, Zhao Yingxun didn't seem to have a girlfriend.
Because it was only slightly tilted, he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but the little bit that was exposed piqued his interest.
Bold, bright and generous.
He likes this type of girls.
In front of his brothers, he naturally did not hide his thoughts: "This girl is my type."
Chen Zheng had just finished reporting back to his family, so he slowly raised his eyes and teased him, "What type of person do you dislike?"
Seeing him stand up with his glass in hand and walk in that direction, Chen Zheng also adjusted his perspective. At the same time, as if noticing their gazes, the man at the bar suddenly looked in their direction.
