But Ji Hanchen's unwavering and perverse behavior pleased Xu Qingyun's two best friends. Who wouldn't like a man who can always give them a sense of security?!
Qin Shuang and Xia Chu exchanged a glance, and Qin Shuang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then we'll be waiting to drink the wedding wine."
"Mmm." Ji Hanchen responded lightly, cupped Xu Qingyun's cheeks, kissed her forehead, and then turned and left the private room.
Xia Chu and Qin Shuang both had teasing expressions on their faces, which made Xu Qingyun blush and feel a little awkward.
She took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, then walked to the sofa and sat down.
Qin Shuang pulled her into his arms. "Xiao Yun, Ninth Master is absolutely smitten with you. We're so envious. Speaking of which, was it lust at first sight?"
Xu Qingyun thought about it seriously. Ji Hanchen had said that it was lust at first sight, and also love at first sight.
But more importantly, Ji Hanchen recognized her.
Xu Qingyun smiled faintly, "I saved his life. When I was sixteen, abroad."
Qin Shuang's eyes widened. "Holy crap, really? So, Ji Hanchen has had a crush on you since you were sixteen?"
Xu Qingyun nodded.
Qin Shuang couldn't help but laugh, "Oh my god, isn't this too innocent? Isn't this just like Sister Chu Chu? She was also saved by Shen Luo, so she fell for him."
Xia Chu lowered her eyes, "My story is a sad one, completely opposite to Xiao Yun's romantic one."

Ji Hanchen went into the next private room, where Shen Luo, Bai Ruiting, and Lu Chuan were all present.
Seeing him, Shen Luo was annoyed. "If you want to be with Xiao Yun, why do you have to drag us along?"
A cold laugh escaped Ji Hanchen's throat. "There's nothing shameful about admitting that you came here because of Xia Chu."
Shen Luo choked, almost instinctively retorting, "Why would I stay here because of her? Xia Chu means nothing to me, I'm here because..."
Meeting Xia Chu's cold gaze, Shen Luo's words immediately caught in her throat.
The atmosphere instantly froze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
"Hahahaha, Shen Luo, you're finished."
Lu Chuan suddenly burst into laughter, both to mock Shen Luo and to ease the tension.
Shen Luo looked over sharply and said in a low, cold voice, "Shut up!"
Lu Chuan curled his lip, "It's not like I asked you to court death, this is just an undeserved disaster."
Xia Chu clenched her fists, never expecting to hear Shen Luo say those words.
She tried hard to control her emotions, looking at Shen Luo without a trace of feeling, "Tomorrow we'll go back to the capital to complete the formalities."
Although Shen Luo has signed the divorce agreement, the two have not yet received their divorce certificate.
As long as they don't get a divorce certificate, they will still be legally married. Xia Chu is tired of being entangled with Shen Luo and just wants to quickly sever this relationship to give herself peace and freedom.
Shen Luo stood up abruptly and said with a cold laugh, "What's the rush?"
"Out with the old, in with the new. Mr. Chen isn't in a hurry, but I'm eager to start my next relationship."
After Xia Chu finished speaking indifferently, she turned and left.
But before leaving the private room, she said in a deep voice, "Before, Mr. Chen was my life, but now he means nothing to me."
Only after saying that did she actually leave.
The two private rooms were very close together. Xia Chu saw Ji Hanchen enter the next private room and guessed that Shen Luo must be there as well, so she came over.
She only came to remind Shen Luo to hurry up and get the divorce certificate, but she never expected to hear him say such heartless words.
Shen Luo had always been cold and ruthless to her, and Xia Chu had gotten used to it. She used to feel heartache, but now she was completely numb and could no longer feel the pain.
After she left, Shen Luo remained standing there, a burning anger raging within her.
He hated himself for saying those words, hated Xia Chu for retaliating in kind, and hated Xia Chu for being so eager to get a divorce certificate so she could elope with her new lover as soon as possible!
Oh!
She's already thinking about having an affair before even getting a divorce? Does she think her husband is dead?!
"Chen Luo, sit down or go after her? What I mean is, a real man can bend and stretch, and it's not shameful to bow down in front of his wife. Look at me, I'm like a grandson in front of Qin Shuang. But does that affect my being a real man outside?" Lu Chuan spread his hands.
Shen Luo plopped down and said sarcastically without any politeness, "You want to be a grandson? I don't want to be as undignified as you."
Lu Chuan pouted: "Then you should learn from Lao Ji. Look how he spoils Xiao Yunyun, he'd give her his heart if he could."
"Dignity and loving your woman are not contradictory. Your biggest problem is that you are stubborn and refuse to admit that you have fallen in love with Xia Chu."
"You two have already fallen out so badly, do you really want to get the divorce certificate and become the ex-husband before you regret it?!"
Lu Chuan couldn't stand Shen Luo's stubbornness. He was clearly a righteous man, but he was surprisingly ruthless towards Xia Chu.
Shen Luo's breathing became labored. Meeting Lu Chuan's teasing gaze, she stubbornly replied, "You love each other, but I don't love Xia Chu."
Lu Chuan laughed in anger, "Alright, you deserve it. I'll be waiting for your crematorium."

Xu Qingyun wasn't very good at drinking, so while Qin Shuang and Xia Chu were drinking heavily, she was very restrained, only taking small sips.
Ye Jingnan called her in the middle of the night, but Qin Shuang was singing with Xia Chu in her arms, and the private room was very noisy, so she took her phone and went to the corridor.
"What is it?" Xu Qingyun asked indifferently.
Ye Jingnan said in a deep voice, "Xiaoyun, I found something important. Would it be convenient for you to come over?"
"We'll talk on the phone," Xu Qingyun said, narrowing her eyes warily.
Ye Jingnan's voice was hoarse, "Xiaoyun, I need to entrust this to you. Don't worry, I won't harm you."
