Chapter 36 "Rong Weiyue, my wife."...
Chapter 36
Upon hearing this, Peng Qingshi's expression stiffened slightly.
That's ridiculous. Wei Yue's friend is his friend? What gives him the right to assert his dominance?
The air was thick with the tension of a battleground. Several men around them, along with Yin Lu, Xia Qiantang, and the others, exchanged glances, secretly excited.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Xia Sili suppressed his curiosity and smiled as he smoothed things over: "Guests are guests, have fun tonight. Let's go inside and put our luggage away."
The nine people entered the house. Xia Sili went to the front desk to get the room key. He had booked a large detached villa where it was convenient to chat. There were six rooms in total, with two beds in each room.
Xia Sili assigned room cards: "Four girls, two rooms each. Hu'an and Zecheng will share one room, Azheng and I will share one room, and Peng will have one room by himself. We'll have one extra room..."
Fu Linzheng reached out and took the last room key:
I live alone.
Xia Sili said with regret, "Ah Zheng, we used to be the closest of friends, why don't you talk to me at night anymore?"
"……roll."
Everyone laughed. Fu Linzheng fiddled with the room key and said slowly, "A private room is convenient for the evening."
Rong Weiyue met his gaze, understood the meaning behind his words, and her ears turned red.
As expected, this person is dishonest...
After receiving their room keys, everyone headed to the restaurant.
The group chatted and laughed. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Rong Weiyue slowed down and walked to Fu Linzheng at the back of the group.
The man glanced at her lazily, his voice languid: "I thought someone was planning to pretend to be a stranger to me."
Rong Weiyue gently tugged at his sleeve, her eyes curving into crescents: "No, I just came over to say hello?"
His gaze fell on her empty left ring finger, and he squinted:
"Where's the wedding ring?"
"I put it in my bag first..."
So, I'm your secret lover, the one you can't let see in the light of day.
Seeing his displeasure, she smiled, her eyes crinkling like ripples on spring water, and whispered a promise: "We'll announce it to them tonight."
Fu Linzheng suddenly pulled her into his arms, his voice lowered: "Try ignoring me again?"
Anyone in front could see her if they turned around; her heart was pounding. "No way..."
Rong Weiyue panicked and made a promise. Seeing her frightened like a little rabbit, Fu Linzheng let go of her hand, a helpless smile spreading across his eyes.
Never mind, I'll pretend for a little while longer.
Anyway, the outcome is already decided.
He pinched her earlobe and walked forward. Yin Lu walked up to Rong Weiyue and grinned mischievously, "I just saw it. You two are so sweet. It's natural to touch each other after you're married."
Rong Weiyue was so embarrassed that she told her not to talk nonsense. Yin Lu sighed that she was the only one who knew this shocking secret, and it was too painful to keep it to herself. "I think Peng Qingshi has rekindled his feelings for you. You clearly rejected him back then. It's really a headache..."
"It's alright, he'll find out tonight."
Ahead, Xia Sili came over and put his arm around Fu Linzheng's shoulder: "Ah Zheng, I have some explosive news. You can beg me and I'll tell you. I guarantee you'll jump for joy after hearing it!"
Fu Linzheng put his hands in his pockets and said, "When have I ever asked anyone for help?"
"It's related to Wei Yue."
Fu Linzheng curled his lip: "I don't ask."
Does he need someone else to tell him about his wife?
"Keep being stubborn, even if the sky falls, your mouth will hold it up," Xia Sili said, seeing that the two hadn't spoken and knew they were still having a cold war. "I'll tell you since you feel sorry for me. I just asked Wei Yue directly, and she's not interested in that blind date guy. My good brother, you can rest assured!"
"..."
Fu Linzheng smiled and turned his eyes away. Xia Sili said, "I knew you'd be happy to hear that! Don't hold back, come on, let's jump!"
Fu Linzheng laughed and kicked him, telling him to get lost. Xia Sili said seriously, "But don't be too happy yet. Even without Yan Huai, Peng Qingshi is still a formidable opponent. Didn't you see him sticking to Wei Yue's side? You'd better hurry up, or you'll be gone if you keep being stubborn!"
Fu Linzheng patted his shoulder and smiled, "Thanks. I'll ask you to be my and Weiyue's witness at our wedding. I'll give you a big red envelope."
"..." Xia Sili rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Big brother, you're thinking about marriage when things are barely even started. You should hurry up and pursue her!"
Fu Linzheng is too stubborn, and He Xingyu doesn't have a mouth. Every day, he's so troubled by these two couples!
When they arrived at the restaurant's private room, Rong Weiyue and Yin Lu were the last to enter, leaving only two empty seats between Fu Linzheng and Peng Qingshi at the round table.
Both of them looked over.
Rong Weiyue subconsciously looked at Fu Linzheng. He raised his eyebrows at her, his meaning clear. Her heart fluttered, and she obediently went to sit down next to him.
Fu Linzheng glanced sideways and leisurely curled the corners of his lips at Peng Qingshi, who frowned and pursed his thin lips into a line.
Xia Sili, upon seeing this: Huh??
Fu Linzheng won the first game?
Fu Linzheng poured some dog food for Hu Hu and let it eat in the corner. Xia Sili said that they had already ordered food, "Tonight we have hot pot and roasted lamb leg. What else would you like to order?"
"Besides lamb leg, is there anything else?" Fu Linzheng asked.
“That leg of lamb weighs five or six pounds. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it. You can add more if you want.”
Fu Linzheng said calmly, "Weiyue doesn't eat mutton."
A few chuckles of maternal affection immediately erupted from the audience. Xia Sili winked at Rong Weiyue, "Weiyue, look, it's only thanks to our Zheng that you remember your tastes. Zheng is such a thoughtful person! There aren't many boys like him these days!"
Rong Weiyue: "..."
Hu An nodded in agreement: "I don't like mutton either, and A-Zheng doesn't even remember it."
Fu Zecheng chimed in, "I don't like mutton either, and A-Zheng doesn't even remember it."
Fu Xiaoying pouted: "Yeah, I don't like lamb either, and you don't remember, Brother Lin Zheng."
Fu Zecheng quickly stopped her: "Come on, you ate twenty skewers of lamb last night."
"elder brother!"
Xia Sili laughed: "You guys, should I just not order anything?!"
Everyone laughed, saying they still wanted to eat mutton. Fu Linzheng smiled, flipped through the menu, turned to the person next to him, and blatantly showed his preference: "Grilled beef cubes and short ribs are fine?"
Rong Weiyue smiled slightly: "Mmm..."
After ordering, the waiter brought out the dishes and dipping sauces a while later. Everyone mixed them themselves. Suddenly, Peng Qingshi asked, "Weiyue, you like millet peppers. Shall I make you some?"
Before Rong Weiyue could refuse, Peng Qingshi scooped more food into the dish, but Fu Linzheng's aloof and cold voice came: "She has a cold and can't eat such spicy food. Mr. Peng, you don't need to be so enthusiastic."
Peng Qingshi was stunned: "Weiyue, you have a cold?"
Rong Weiyue nodded and said she felt much better, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
The sauce was handed to Rong Weiyue, who was hesitating when she saw Fu Linzheng pick up a serving spoon and ask, "Shall I make you a portion? You should like it; it won't be too spicy."
She paused for a moment, then softly agreed. Fu Linzheng knew her tastes, and after adjusting the seasoning, she picked up a slice of tripe, dipped it in, and nodded with delight, "It's really delicious."
Peng Qingshi's expression darkened.
After a while, the waiter added charcoal to the grill, and Fu Linzheng put the meat on it to turn it over. Suddenly, with a "bang", the oil splattered and splashed onto the back of his hand.
The crisp sound was particularly noticeable, and Xia Sili and the others looked over. "Ah Zheng, are you alright?"
Fu Linzheng casually wiped his face with a tissue, his expression indifferent, "It's nothing."
Fu Xiaoying: "Brother Lin Zheng, the back of your hand is all red!"
Everyone suggested that it be treated, and the waiter brought in some burn ointment. Fu Xiaoying offered to apply it for him, but for Fu Linzheng, the pain was nothing. "No need," he said.
Rong Weiyue looked at her slightly furrowed brows and said worriedly, "Let's apply some medicine, otherwise it will definitely blister later."
Upon hearing this, Fu Linzheng fell silent. Xia Sili scoffed, "As expected, Wei Yue has to step in. She immediately became obedient with just one sentence."
He handed over the burn ointment, but Fu Linzheng sighed, "My hand hurts, I can't apply it."
Rong Weiyue wanted to laugh helplessly, and took it, "Shall I help you apply it?"
Fu Linzheng suppressed a smile and responded, letting her do as she pleased.
Xia Sili: Fu Linzheng, you little brat, how did such a clumsy self-inflicted injury plot actually work?!
Rong Weiyue carefully applied the medicine to Fu Linzheng, her expression focused, her fair fingertips gently and softly. Peng Qingshi frowned upon seeing this and gripped his cup tightly.
Fu Xiaoying pouted: "Brother Lin Zheng, why didn't you agree when I offered to help you apply it? You agreed, Sister Wei Yue."
Rong Weiyue felt a light tickle on her palm. When she looked up, she met Fu Linzheng's leisurely gaze. Her earlobes were slightly red, and he raised an eyebrow.
"I got injured while helping her grill meat, so of course she's responsible."
Xia Sili continued to chime in, "Weiyue, you saw Azheng, right? You love beef, but he didn't care even if his hand was holding this charcoal fire! That's a real good man, always putting a girl's feelings first. This kind of good man is so irresistible! I want to marry him!"
Rong Weiyue: "..."
Fu Linzheng: "..."
Fu Linzheng glanced at him speechlessly, while Xia Sili raised an eyebrow at him: "No need to thank me, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but it will definitely work."
Yin Lu suppressed a laugh, "Xia Sili, you're exaggerating!"
"What do you know? I promised today that I would go to great lengths for my brothers."
Hu An: "But I feel like you've stabbed your friend in the back."
Xia Sili: "..."
Everyone laughed. Fu Linzheng ignored Xia Sili and continued grilling meat after treating his wound. Peng Qingshi saw this and started serving food to Rong Weiyue and Yin Lu. Yin Lu knew she was just pretending and quickly refused. Soon, Rong Weiyue's bowl was piled high with food. "Peng Qingshi, you eat. I can get it myself."
Peng Qingshi put more food on her plate, smiling, "It's alright, this tripe and goose intestines are your favorites."
Fu Linzheng smirked lazily, "Is that so?"
Why is this person being sarcastic? Peng Qingshi's gaze turned cold: "What's wrong? Back in college, Wei Yue always ordered this when we ate hot pot."
Xia Qiantang teased, "Really? Fu Linzheng's favorite foods are tripe and goose intestines. He's ordered them every time he has hot pot since he was a child."
Peng Qingshi suddenly froze.
Hu An laughed: "So, who's influencing whom here?"
Rong Weiyue smiled and admitted, "I rarely ate it before, but after Fu Linzheng introduced me to it once, I fell in love with it."
Many of her eating habits were influenced by him. For example, she used to prefer light flavors, but after meeting him, she started to crave spicy food.
Peng Qingshi's face stiffened slightly. He hesitated, unsure whether to put down the food he was holding, and finally withdrew his hand. The waiter brought over a pot of corn juice and a pot of lime juice. Fu Linzheng asked Rong Weiyue, "Shall I pour you some lime juice?"
She nodded. "I'd like something iced."
Fu Zecheng chimed in, "Ah Zheng, I've noticed you know Wei Yue quite well?"
Fu Linzheng said calmly, "I've been feeding him since high school, so of course I know."
Fu Xiaoying asked in surprise, "Start feeding him from high school? What do you mean?"
Xia Qiantang laughed: "Yingying, you don't know this, do you? Fu Linzheng only liked one girl in high school, Wei Yue. Whenever Wei Yue was bullied, Fu Linzheng was always the first to stand in front of her."
Fu Xiaoying was stunned, but Peng Qingshi twitched his lips and said in a half-joking tone, "But I remember when Mr. Fu first started pursuing Wei Yue, Wei Yue told me that she was annoyed by young masters like him and just wanted to stay away from him."
The milky white hot pot was bubbling away, but the atmosphere had become somewhat cold.
Fu Xiaoying was full of questions and her brain was overloaded. A few seconds later, Rong Weiyue raised her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Well, at first I thought Fu Linzheng was an arrogant young master, but after getting to know him, I realized that I had a lot of prejudices against him."
She turned to look at Fu Linzheng, a smile like tiny glimmers of light hidden in her eyes: "Actually, he has a cheerful and sunny personality. He's a bit arrogant but never annoying. He's loyal to his friends and respectful to girls. He may seem carefree, but once he sets his mind on something, he'll do his best to achieve it. He's sincere and pure. He's... really, really good."
As Fu Linzheng listened, his dark eyes grew increasingly intense. After a few seconds, he looked away, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
The friends around them couldn't help but tease him, and Xia Sili covered his head in shock: "Who said I was exaggerating just now? Wei Yue's words are the real exaggeration! I never realized Fu Linzheng had so many good qualities!!"
The man lazily raised his lips and said, "Is there a problem with people telling the truth? That's just a small part of my many strengths."
Rong Weiyue added: "But he's just too narcissistic."
Everyone burst into laughter. Peng Qingshi watched, his hands clenched tightly in his palms, his heart feeling as if it were blocked by a sour cotton ball, filled with unventable anger.
The topic was changed, and after a while, Fu Linzheng placed the grilled beef on Rong Weiyue's plate, saying, "Be careful, it's hot. Blow on it before you eat."
She took a bite and nodded: "It's roasted to perfection."
"Yes, a narcissistic person, enduring the pain to roast it for you with his scalded hands."
"..."
She chuckled and coaxed him, "No, you're not narcissistic."
The man leaned casually against the back of his chair, and spread his palm out to her under the table. She blushed, and quietly placed her hand on it, only to have it firmly grasped by him.
The warmth from his hands instantly burned my heart.
Afraid of being discovered, Rong Weiyue tried to break free but was held even tighter. Fu Linzheng smiled with a roguish air, and only let go when she felt embarrassed.
As they ate and chatted, Fu Linzheng took care of Rong Weiyue the whole time, while Peng Qingshi observed their oblivious interaction and his expression grew colder and colder.
After the meal, the group walked out of the restaurant. It was freezing cold outside, and Rong Weiyue was shivering and hugging herself. When Peng Qingshi saw this, he immediately took off his coat and shivered from the cold as well.
Before he could hand it over, Fu Linzheng took off his windbreaker and draped it over Rong Weiyue's shoulders, smiling as he said, "Mr. Peng, it's cold in the mountains. You should wear the windbreaker yourself. You're so thin, don't catch a cold."
"..."
Fu Linzheng was tall and strong; a sweater was more than enough for him. He zipped up Rong Weiyue's sweater and asked, "Are you still cold?"
"It's not cold anymore..."
Yin Lu, arm in arm with Xia Qiantang, sighed, "Why is it that when we're cold, no one is wearing a coat?"
Upon hearing this, Hu An immediately took off his coat: "I'll give it to you?"
Yin Lu paused for a moment, then smiled with her eyes crinkling, and quickly shook her head: "No need, I was just joking, you should put it on quickly..."
Hu An smiled and said it was nothing, but Xia Qiantang saw it and smiled without saying a word.
Afterwards, everyone went back to the villa to put on some new clothes before going out to play again.
On the way, Xia Sili put his arm around Fu Linzheng's shoulder and whispered, "You're pretty good. You were quite proactive today! You should have shown this attitude to pursue her a long time ago! I think Peng Qingshi is furious, and I feel that Wei Yue still has some feelings for you."
"Is that what you call a little bit of affection? She clearly loves me to death."
"..."
Xia Sili was speechless: "Wei Yue's assessment of you is indeed spot on."
Back at the villa, after putting on more clothes, Xia Sili suggested going to the sauna in front. Everyone agreed, and Rong Weiyue was about to agree when Fu Linzheng's calm voice came from above: "You haven't taken your medicine yet."
oh……
She said to the others, "You go ahead, I'll take my medicine and be right back."
Fu Linzheng leaned against the wall and said lazily, "I also need to settle Hu Hu in. I'll go over there later."
Friends smiled, knowing better than to say anything. Yin Lu and Xia Qiantang each pulled Peng Qingshi and Fu Xiaoying, the two third wheels, away. As everyone walked out of the villa, Fu Zecheng, Hu An, and Xia Sili exchanged glances and sighed softly.
Xia Sili: "We three have to step in. Their relationship has made a real breakthrough today. Look how nice Wei Yue was to A Zheng today!!"
Fu Zecheng: "That's right. If it weren't for us, those two probably wouldn't have exchanged a single word recently. Today, A-Zheng's mental state is clearly more stable."
Hu An chuckled, "Haha, they're going to succeed. We must make sure A-Zheng thanks us properly."
Ahead, Peng Qingshi angrily said to Yin Lu, "Did you see that? Tonight, Fu Linzheng has been clinging to Wei Yue, and Wei Yue has been interacting with him the whole time."
"Look, aren't they very sweet together?"
"Lvlv, you're Weiyue's best friend, aren't you going to help persuade them? Don't you think they're not a good match? I'm afraid Weiyue will be wronged, do you want to see her jump into the fire again?"
Yin Lu was speechless: "How did it become a sea of fire? Peng Zi, Wei Yue knows who is suitable for her. As friends, let's not interfere. And give up... you have absolutely no chance anyway."
"Even if I give up, it won't lead to anything."
Fu Linzheng is just richer than him, right? In other aspects, in what way is he inferior?
Soon the group arrived at the sauna, only to find it dark inside; it turned out to be closed for maintenance for the past two days.
It was quite cold outside, so Yin Lu suggested that they go back to the villa to have some tea around the stove. The group then turned back the way they came.
At this moment, only the two of them remained in the villa.
Rong Weiyue went to her and Yin Lu's room to get some hand warmers. When she came out, she saw Fu Linzheng leaning against the wall by the door, tall and aloof.
He looked at her and said, "Take your luggage to my room."
"ah……"
"What? You're not sleeping with me tonight?"
Her cheeks flushed. "They'll find out..."
Fu Linzheng approached her, his alluring, low, husky voice fading: "How about we come to my room in the middle of the night, when they're asleep, and then we can go to bed together?"
Rong Weiyue was aroused by his blunt and lewd remarks. She wasn't afraid even though no one was around. She blinked at him and said, "Then you should keep your voice down."
Fu Linzheng wrapped his arms around her waist, pinned her against the wall, and leaned down to bite her ear: "You're so good at moaning, tell me, who controls the volume between us?"
Her voice used to drive him crazy.
Rong Weiyue let out a soft moan of embarrassment. Fu Linzheng's fingertips caressed her rosy lips, forcing her to tilt her head back, his warm breath spraying down on her.
"How was dinner tonight? Was the secret operation fun?"
Rong Weiyue's heart pounded wildly, "Mmm, fun..."
"How long are you planning to play around? You're really not going to give me any official status?"
Fu Linzheng kissed her, his lips and teeth grinding and rubbing against each other, teasing her with a punishing bite, making the little flower in her heart, which was being battered by wind and rain, tremble slightly.
Fu Linzheng said in a deep voice, "See? That Peng Qingshi still likes you. He was frantically trying to please you tonight. If we weren't married, I would have beaten him to death."
This was the first time Fu Linzheng had made no attempt to hide his jealousy. Her eyes were moist from the kiss, and she coaxed him in a soft voice, "But I ignored him, I only talked to you..."
She wrapped her arms around his neck, welcoming his kiss, when suddenly—
With a "click".
A sound came from the doorway.
The two of them suddenly stopped.
At the villa entrance, the other seven people who had witnessed this intimate scene through the floor-to-ceiling windows entered, and all of them except for Yin Lü were dumbfounded—
Holy crap?!
What's going on?!
Rong Weiyue didn't expect them to come back.
In an instant, everyone except Fu Linzheng was stunned into silence.
Rong Weiyue's cheeks flushed, and she buried her face in his chest in embarrassment. Fu Linzheng then hugged her and chuckled, "Baby, what's there to be shy about?"
Then Fu Linzheng lifted his eyelids to look at them, a lazy smile playing on his lips:
"A legally married couple, is it okay for them to kiss?"
How many people: ? ? ?
The man then pulled a red booklet from his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips, and uttered each word with an air of importance:
"Let me officially announce it: Rong Weiyue is my wife."
Several people: ? ? ? ! ! !
