Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Networking Party

The size of this Zhongshan suit seems to be the original owner’s clothes, but she remembers there was no such outfit in the original owner’s wardrobe.

Gu Fuqiao was perplexed when Yan Zhen Guo spoke up: "I know you don’t like Zhongshan suits, you’ve kept it at the bottom of the chest since the wedding, and I only found it after quite some searching."

So that’s what happened... It looks like this Zhongshan suit might have been given to the original owner by Yan Zhen Guo during their wedding.

Although viewed from a modern perspective, this Zhongshan suit seems a bit outdated, it’s still quite popular during this era. Despite being cold, Yan Zhen Guo has never treated the original owner poorly, providing good food and drink.

Thinking of these things, Gu Fuqiao found Yan Zhen Guo a bit more pleasing to the eye.

"You’re wearing this today," Yan Zhen Guo said from the side.

"Why do you suddenly want me to wear this?" Gu Fuqiao was startled. She couldn’t understand why Yan Zhen Guo suddenly wanted her to wear a Zhongshan suit. Also, if she wasn’t mistaken, in this era, people only wore Zhongshan suits if they were leaders or getting married.

Could it be that Yan Zhen Guo wanted her to wear this Zhongshan suit to get a divorce?

Gu Fuqiao’s eyes subtly shifted as she seriously pondered why, but after thinking back and forth, she felt she had been behaving recently. Without a third party interfering, there shouldn’t be a divorce; moreover, marriage isn’t a joke and shouldn’t be so easy to dissolve.

"Tonight is the Dragon Boat Festival gathering, the first event since we got married organized by the workplace. I hope you will come with me," Yan Zhen Guo said to Gu Fuqiao.

Of the other outfits Gu Fuqiao had, only this Zhongshan suit wasn’t too conspicuous.

"So it’s already the Dragon Boat Festival?" Gu Fuqiao nodded; she remembered Yan Zhen Guo mentioning this event before.

She suddenly recalled Wang Mei’s affairs.

Wang Mei wanted to harm her, preferably by having her disgrace herself publicly or get caught in an affair! So, this Dragon Boat Festival gathering is also a good opportunity for Wang Mei!

She could choose not to go, but she didn’t want Wang Mei to keep plotting against her next time either! Since Wang Mei had already been harsh, she might as well repay in kind!

Moreover, if she stayed close to Yan Zhen Guo, Wang Mei wouldn’t have any chance!

"Brother, could you do me a favor?" After thinking it over, Gu Fuqiao seriously looked at Yan Zhen Guo.

Yan Zhen Guo saw Gu Fuqiao was asking for him, so he turned and walked out, "Is breakfast ready?"

"Ready, guaranteed satisfaction!" Gu Fuqiao quickly followed him out.

Breakfast was still egg noodles.

Yan Zhen Guo’s face was ordinary, but he ate the noodles faster than usual.

It seems he really likes egg noodles.

"What I wanted to say is, at tonight’s gathering, can I stick by your side the whole time?" Gu Fuqiao asked eagerly while eating noodles, looking at Yan Zhen Guo.

She hoped Yan Zhen Guo would readily agree.

Yan Zhen Guo finished the egg noodles he was holding; after putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Gu Fuqiao and said: "If you don’t stick by me, what else do you plan to do?"

——

The gathering was about to begin. Even though Wang Mei wore the standard light green dress, she styled her hair into two braided pigtails today, with a bit of hydrating baby cream on her face, making her look much fresher.

"Wang Mei, aren’t you leaving?" A female soldier with a belt tied around her waist said, facing away from Wang Mei.

The dorm had only Wang Mei and that female comrade left.

"In a moment." Wang Mei continued to look at her face in the mirror, satisfied with her smile, thinking that if Gu Fuqiao and Brother Yan divorced, then Brother Yan would have no choice but her.

The female comrade saw Wang Mei being unusually slow, couldn’t help but turn to glance at Wang Mei, and laughed while saying, "All dressed up so pretty, which brother are you trying to attract?"

The female comrade’s words made Wang Mei’s ears turn red with embarrassment.

She raised her head to glance at the female comrade and said, "Of course not! What are you imagining? Look at you, don’t know whose idea it was to tie those red strings in your braids!"

After saying that, she giggled.

"Wang Mei, you look absolutely beautiful," the female comrade said admiringly as she looked at Wang Mei, "At first glance, you seemed merely delicate, but the more I look, the prettier you become! No wonder they say true beauty comes from within!"

Hearing this praise, Wang Mei lowered her head with a shy smile.

But in her heart, she thought she was naturally the most beautiful in the art troupe, only King Yan — Yan Zhen Guo — was worthy of her!

After a bout of laughter and chatter, the two headed to the place of the gathering.

The gathering took place in a spacious hall where the workplace typically held holiday celebrations.

It was already past seven; the weather had started to cool down as Wang Mei and the other female comrades walked in, she first looked around.

Seeing no sign of Yan Zhen Guo around made her a bit disappointed, then she checked if Gu Fuqiao had arrived.

But she found that neither Yan Zhen Guo nor Gu Fuqiao was there.

"Xiao Mei, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, a man’s enthusiastic voice sounded behind Wang Mei.

It was Wang Chuan’s voice.

A flash of disgust passed through Wang Mei’s eyes, but when she turned to look at Wang Chuan, her eyes were cleansed and clear.

"Brother Wang, you’re here for the gathering too?" Wang Mei said sweetly to Wang Chuan.

Wang Chuan looked at the woman he’d been longing for. Heaven knows, after kissing Wang Mei, he returned home only to be tormented by constant thoughts of her.

"I heard you art soldiers were all coming, so I came too." Wang Chuan swallowed hard, his eyes filled entirely with Wang Mei’s charm and wit.

He nearly wanted to pull Wang Mei into his arms and kiss her all over again!

While saying this, Wang Chuan looked around, but due to the crowd, he withdrew his slightly extended hand and rubbed it against his trouser seam.

It was then that Wang Mei saw the two who just walked in through the door.

"Xiao Mei, can I invite you out this weekend..." Wang Chuan bit his teeth and decided to get closer to Wang Mei when Wang Mei paid no attention to him and directly walked away.

Wang Chuan looked up to see Wang Mei heading toward King Yan, feeling a sudden unease. He hastily moved forward to take hold of Wang Mei’s hand and said, "Xiao Mei, are you going to greet King Yan? But I haven’t finished speaking."

"I..." Wang Mei didn’t expect Wang Chuan to be so persistent. Then she saw Yan Zhen Guo had actually taken Gu Fuqiao’s hand, her heart aching as she quickly broke free from Wang Chuan’s grasp!
