Chapter 45: 45. This is my wife.

After leaving the cinema, Fu Hengyi saw an ice cream shop at the entrance with many couples lined up to buy. He glanced at Shen Qinglan and went over to purchase two.

He handed one to Shen Qinglan, "The clerk said this yellow peach flavor is their best-seller, give it a try."

A thirty-year-old serious man holding two ice creams was such a visual shock that even the always composed Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but avert her eyes. It was really eye-opening.

"I don’t like sweets."

"It’s okay to try them occasionally." Fu Hengyi brought the ice cream to Shen Qinglan’s lips, suggesting she take a bite.

The gazes of people around fell intentionally or unintentionally on them, making Shen Qinglan feel a bit embarrassed. She quickly took a small bite, expecting it to be overly sweet, but the cool sensation mixed with a subtly sweet and creamy flavor turned out to be quite pleasant.

Shen Qinglan reached out to take it and took a bite now and then.

Watching her act like an ordinary young girl, Fu Hengyi was satisfied. He also took a bite of the ice cream, but immediately frowned. He genuinely disliked sweet things, but having told Shen Qinglan to try it sometimes, even if he found it distasteful, Fu Hengyi maintained a straight face and finished it in a few bites.

After finishing the ice cream, Fu Hengyi thoroughly despised such strongly sweet and creamy things.

Shen Qinglan found the taste quite nice, but midway through eating, the ice cream in her hand was taken away by Fu Hengyi. "It’s not good for girls to eat too much cold stuff. Just tasting it is enough."

Shen Qinglan looked regretfully at the ice cream in his hand but didn’t insist. She never had strong preferences, so whether to eat it or not was okay.

The two went for dinner, the second time they had dined out. Fu Hengyi took her for Chinese food.

The restaurant had a good taste. Before leaving, Shen Qinglan glanced at the restaurant’s name, thinking she could bring Yu Xiaoxuan next time. She loved good food.

"What should we do next?" Having gone shopping, eaten, and watched a movie, should they go home? Shen Qinglan looked at the darkening sky, contemplating.

"Let’s not go home yet, I’ll take you somewhere."

Shen Qinglan didn’t ask where, knowing he couldn’t possibly sell her.

"Is this where you’re taking me?" Shen Qinglan looked up at the store name, "Charming Color."

If she remembered correctly, this was Beijing’s most famous upscale club and the largest place for spending money. Those who came here were either rich or noble.

Fu Hengyi put his arm around her shoulder, smiled without saying a word, and handed a card to the doorman, who respectfully gestured them in.

Shen Qinglan wasn’t unfamiliar with this place. Shen Junyu was a member and had brought her here before.

Fu Hengyi led her directly to the innermost private room on the fifth floor.

There were people in the room, currently gathered playing mahjong. When they saw Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan, they paused, and all eyes fell on Shen Qinglan.

Under so many gazes, Shen Qinglan felt no discomfort and even had the leisure to look at the people seated. Aside from Han Yi, she didn’t know the other three.

Fu Hengyi put his arm around Shen Qinglan, "This is my wife, Shen Qinglan. This is Han Yi, whom you know."

Pointing to Han Yi, Han Yi’s charming eyes flashed, recalling how Fu Hengyi claimed no interest in the young lady before, now becoming her husband. Was that what disinterest looked like?

"Hello, little sister-in-law," Han Yi greeted with a smile, his charming eyes filled with a captivating smile.

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, "Young Master Han, we meet again."

Fu Hengyi pointed to the young man sitting to Han Yi’s left, who looked scholarly and exuded a literary charm, appearing about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. "This is Jiang Chenxi."

Jiang Chenxi smiled and greeted, "Sister-in-law."

"The other two, the younger one is my aunt’s son, Gu Yang, and the one beside him is his cousin, Gu Kai."

Gu Yang and Gu Kai simultaneously greeted, "Sister-in-law."

"Brother, when did you get married? How come I didn’t know?" Gu Yang, being quick in nature, couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Fu Hengyi.

"A month ago, we got the marriage certificate," Fu Hengyi said succinctly.

"Brother, that’s not right. How can you be married without having a wedding?"

"We’ll hold the wedding once Qinglan graduates," Fu Hengyi explained.

Gu Yang’s eyes widened, "Sister-in-law, you’re still in school? Does that mean you’re even younger than I am?" He looked terrified.

Shen Qinglan: ...

Can this not-so-astute guy tell? Do I look that old?

"These are my brothers. In case you need anything and I’m not around, you can find them." Fu Hengyi instructed Shen Qinglan, which was his reason for bringing her there.

"Hengyi, since when is it our role to intervene in matters of the little sister-in-law? If she really needed help, that fellow Shen Junyu would rush to the front," Han Yi said with a playful smile in his charming eyes.

"Hey, sister-in-law, what’s your relationship with Brother Shen? Both of you share the last name Shen, does that mean..." Gu Yang looked at her, full of uncertainty.

"It’s just as you think. Our little sister-in-law is the precious sister of Shen Junyu, that sly fox, who usually keeps her hidden, not even allowing a glance."
