Chapter 58 Warm praise is a blessing
"You acted too quickly," Duan Ze said as a final remark.
According to Guan Ju, it's estimated that Wen Song and Zhao Mingzhuo had just broken up, and then the two of them suddenly announced their marriage, just like Zheng Rong and Qi Sheng did, which was so fast that it was somewhat surprising.
It's exactly what they call "seamless connection".
"Mainly..."
Duan stroked his chin and said curiously, "Wen Song actually agreed to be with you."
Because in his impression, Wen Song seemed to be honest and upright, but all of this required putting aside the "bad things" he had heard from others, such as exaggerating the truth and saying that the current situation of the Wen family was actually related to Wen Song.
That's not actually the case.
Wen Song did indeed do something.
But it only applies to Wen Chengfeng.
It didn't really escalate to the point of turning the entire Wen family upside down.
"Why not?" Guan Ju asked calmly.
Duan Ze: "Shouldn't you take a break for a few months? Aren't you worried that Zhao Mingzhuo will notice something's wrong?"
Guan Ju remained unfazed: "Do you think I'm afraid?"
Duan Ze: "............."
I see that you are not only not afraid, but you are also eager to take Wen Song forward to show off your power.
Having been a mistress before, why would they worry about being discovered when they become the legitimate wife?
Alpha is just that competitive.
but---
If the roles were reversed and it was Wen Xu in his place, he would probably do the same.
"Fine then." Duan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
"Is it because Wen Song forbids you from going public?"
Otherwise, based on his understanding of his friend, if the other party hadn't directly posted on social media or told everyone, "How did you know I'm with Wen Song?", then they must have been punished by someone else.
—For example, Wen Song felt the need to avoid suspicion.
"Yes," Guan Ju admitted.
Duan Ze immediately found it somewhat amusing.
He shook his head, whistled as if he were smug, and said, "So you've finally had your day."
"Do you remember what you said back in school when I was falling for Wen Xu?"
"You said Wen Xu is my retribution."
"I'll return those words to you."
Guan Ju said expressionlessly, "Wen Song is a blessing."
Finally, she added casually, "Because he's well-behaved."
As for Wen Xu—
Guan Ju and Wen Xu are somewhat similar in their sharp tongues.
The only difference is in their personalities.
One is indifferent, the other is arrogant.
Duan belatedly realized: "...Are you trying to put down my little cat, King?"
Guan Ju suddenly chuckled: "You should be glad that my pheromones don't match his."
Therefore, the relationship between the two of them is rather "bad".
It's not that they dislike each other.
It is a phenomenon caused by physiological rejection of pheromones and overly "similar" personalities.
"Indeed." Duan Zeke hadn't forgotten the matter of their two families arranging a blind date.
"I really don't know what Grandpa Wen was thinking. Why wouldn't he let Wen Xu and I get married?"
Guan Ju: "I don't know."
Duan was shocked: "You've become accustomed to Wen Song's influence, you know that?"
Given Guan Ju's sharp-tongued nature, he would definitely have belittled him, whether openly or subtly, but now he simply said "I don't know" without a second thought.
Others learn from bad people.
Guan Ju is a word for learning and harmony.
Seeing that his good friend was no longer as sarcastic and belittling as before, he decided that he would not allow anyone else to disobey Guan Ju and Wen Song in their relationship.
"Is that so?" Guan Ju felt inexplicably good.
Duan nodded vigorously: "Yes."
That's really amazing.
When you like someone, you subconsciously tend to act and speak in a way that resembles their personality.
At this moment, a waiter came to Guan Ju with a bouquet of flowers, nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Guan, these are the flowers you ordered."
Duan then focused his gaze on the bouquet.
———Ecuadorian Green Rose.
He looked at Guan Ju, who had just received the bouquet, and asked, "Why did you buy flowers?"
Guan Ju lowered her eyelids, gazing at the green roses that symbolized undying love, and said softly, "Today is Zhao Mingzhuo's engagement banquet, so it's only natural for me to give him a bouquet of flowers."
Duan Ze: ""
Where is it reasonable?
Do you give green items as gifts at an engagement party?
Why did he always feel that Guan Ju's true intention was not as simple as kindly sending flowers to Zhao Mingzhuo?
It's like showing off, reminding someone, and protesting from the "other woman."
It's no wonder he has so many thoughts; after all, he grew up with Guan Ju and always understood her little tricks better than others.
They won't actually cause trouble openly.
but---
They will definitely do it secretly.
The green rose symbolizes "love that never fades." On one hand, it's true that it expresses the hope that Zhao Mingzhuo and Xu Shaoze's relationship will last, but on the other hand, it subtly tells the other party that the green rose has successfully poached someone else's partner.
Unfortunately, Zhao Mingzhuo will never find out.
The other person knows even less than the sleeping husband in an action movie.
"Alright then." Duan wouldn't stop Guan Ju's actions.
If Zhao Mingzhuo really discovers something, at worst he can step forward as Guan Ju's good brother, or if all else fails, he can shift the blame to Fu Jingchuan, who is far away in Hong Kong, and let the other party share some of the responsibility.
In short, they were willing to go to great lengths for Guan Ju.
Even though it was always his best friend who would jokingly stab him in the back each time.
Just then, Zhao Mingzhuo's voice came from behind.
"A-Sui, Ze'er, you've arrived."
Guan Ju and Duan Ze turned to the side, their gazes both falling on Zhao Mingzhuo. He was getting engaged today, and he had carefully styled his hair with hairspray; the boutonniere on his bespoke suit symbolized his status as the protagonist of the banquet.
"Where did these flowers come from?" Zhao Mingzhuo's gaze fell on the bouquet Guan Sui was holding.
Guan Ju handed over the bouquet under the other person's gaze.
"This is for you."
Congratulations on your engagement.
Zhao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, as if showing helplessness. The fingers holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously, and the other hand reached out to take the bouquet.
"Thanks."
"Ah Sui, you're quite considerate."
Duan Ze: "Pfft."
Zhao Mingzhuo looked at the Alpha who suddenly burst out laughing, puzzled.
Guan Ju also gave the other party a faint sidelong glance.
"..." Duan Ze immediately rubbed his nose guiltily, "It's nothing, I just feel that today is a great day, and thinking about the engagement makes me happy for you two."
The pronunciation of the word "two" was very heavy.
He glanced at Guan Ju out of the corner of his eye, raised an eyebrow, as if he were mocking something.
Guan Ju remained expressionless.
In Zhao Mingzhuo's ears, Duan Ze's blessing was interpreted as a blessing from him and Xu Shaoze.
“A family marriage,” Zhao Mingzhuo smiled, glancing at Guan Ju standing opposite him with a calm expression. The bitterness in his heart gradually disappeared, and he didn’t feel as bad as usual. He said, “There’s nothing to be happy or unhappy about. I can only say that it was a bit hasty, but we had no choice but to do it.”
Duan nodded slowly: "Then let's put it another way. Let's celebrate that you got Qisheng's help and won the title of Zhengrong's heir. This time you're not just a prince, you've been promoted to President Zhao."
"After all, you have to give up either feelings or interests, right?"
