Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Marriage is a Grave!

"Uncle Fu, you really made a big move without a peep! Just last weekend, us brothers were joking around about who would be the first to tie the knot, and in the blink of an eye, you’re shouldering the shackles of marriage! That’s efficiency!"

"Exactly, where’s sister-in-law? You didn’t even bring her for us to pay our respects and greet her!"

"I heard she’s a beauty. You’re not hiding her because you’re afraid we’d scare her, are you?"

The first to speak was Lue Xizhou, a classmate of Fu Yanci’s from his time studying abroad, who had specially come from Si City.

The other two were childhood friends of Fu Yanci, Gu Lanqing and Cheng Yanhuai.

Any one of them, stepping out, was a much sought-after figure in the wealthy elite circles of Imperial City.

But now, the four men gathered in this obscure winery, the atmosphere relaxed and leisurely.

Noticing that Fu Yanci showed no signs of happiness from his recent marriage, the three exchanged glances, sensing something was off.

Lue Xizhou walked forward with a glass of wine and handed it to Fu Yanci, toasting, "Happy marriage!"

Clang!

The crisp clinking of glasses echoed as Fu Yanci tossed back the whiskey in his glass, threw it aside, and sat down at the card table.

Playing cards, chatting about this and that.

Naturally, the conversation shifted from their mutual collaborations to Fu Yanci’s out-of-the-blue marriage.

"During our school years, you must have received enough love letters to fill a sack, right? But you were as aloof as a monk, always alone, never seen taking an interest in anyone. After returning home, there’s been no word of you dating anyone either. What’s the story with Lady sister-in-law? It’s not an arranged marriage you couldn’t refuse, is it?"

Lue Xizhou said with a smile.

Fu Yanci shook his head, fondling the card in his hand, looking towards the married Gu Lanqing, "If, I mean if, you had an illegitimate child and Ning Yan found out about it, what do you think her reaction would be?"

???

"Bro, that’s not a joke you can make!"

With a look of horror, Gu Lanqing said with a smile, "Ning Yan, don’t be fooled by her gentle demeanor, she has a fiery temper! Forget about an illegitimate child, if I dared to go to a social gathering today with any woman other than her or my mom, she would burn the house down on me! Illegitimate child?"

Gu Lanqing kept shaking his head, "If there really was such a thing, she would definitely chop me up first, then chop up that mother and child, she’d never let us off the hook!"

"No wonder you’ve been acting all virtuous since you got married, even at the horse track you only ride stallions... Indeed, marriage is a tombstone!"

"That’s terrifying! I’ve made up my mind, I’ll enjoy life to its fullest, definitely not give up my freedom!"

Lue Xizhou and Cheng Yanhuai bantered.

Looking up again, they saw Fu Yanci with an incredibly dark expression.

Having already had an inkling before opening his mouth, and especially after Gu Lanqing finished speaking, an entirely different scene played out in Fu Yanci’s mind.

The girl smiling brightly, "Fu Yan, relax, I’m not that kind of person."

To show her sincerity, she even acted cute to win over Xiao Bao’s favor.

It wasn’t until this moment, as he received confirmation that she truly didn’t mind, that Fu Yanci felt indescribably agitated.

Among the three, Cheng Yanhuai, who had spent the most time alongside Fu Yanci and was the only one who could guess his thoughts, discreetly played a card and advised with care, "You see, women need to be coaxed. Although your methods aren’t the most upfront, she’s your woman now. If you treat her well, even a stone can be warmed over time."

"Bro, trust me and my vast experience with countless victories in love affairs; you can’t go wrong!"

???

Hearing the meaning behind Cheng Yanhuai’s words, Gu Lanqing and Lue Xizhou exchanged a look of astonishment.

Before they could ask what exactly was going on, they saw Fu Yanci push away the cards in front of him and stand up to leave, "It’s late. Let’s call it a night."

???

It’s only 11 o’clock, and you’re telling me it’s late?

Have you forgotten the good old days when we would hang out till 2 or 3 a.m.?

Behind Fu Yanci’s back, the three of them jeered, but Fu Yanci had already pushed the door open and left.

The Maybach roared toward Half Mountain Manor.
