Shen Shichuan was also holding a glass of wine to his lips, luckily he hadn’t taken a sip, otherwise he might have choked.
Shen Shichuan remarked, “I never thought I’d live to see the day when you, Gu Qichen, ask such a childish question—when did you fall in love? I had no idea, and she’s a 20-year-old girl?”
Gu Qi Chen spoke lightly, “I’m already married.”
Shen Shichuan, who was gently swirling his wine glass in his hand, paused. His tone became serious, “Are you serious?”
Gu Qi Chen didn’t answer, instead, he drank all of the red wine in his glass.
Shen Shichuan noted, “Actually, I’m not opposed to you being in a relationship. Just like in business, accumulating experience is not necessarily a bad thing. But marriage is a serious matter. I always thought that Xiao Man would be your bride someday.”
Qi Chen responded, “I’ve grown up with Manbing, and over time, many things seem to fall into place naturally. I even proposed to her, but she turned me down. Then, something unexpected happened. That girl broke in, and I realized that my usually unchanging life had taken an interesting turn, making it feel different than before. If you ask me if I’m serious, I am. From the moment we registered our marriage, I planned to take it seriously.”
Shen Shichuan showed no significant change in expression, his fingers ran along the rim of his cup, seemingly contemplating something.
Shen Shichuan stated, “I don’t want to interfere with your relationship with Xiao Man. Both of you are adults and have your own perspectives. However, my sister is stubborn. Over the years, I’ve spoiled her. The things she can’t get always tend to incite her desire to have them. You should deal with this sooner rather than later. Make things clear to her.”
Qi Chen replied, “I understand.”
Shen Shichuan cracked a faint smile, raising his glass, “Nevertheless, congratulations on your wedding.”
When Qi Chen thought about a certain someone, he couldn’t help but show a hint of helplessness on his face.
Still, he leaned forward and clinked glasses with Shen Shichuan, “Thank you.”
Shen Shichuan changed the subject, “So, your newlywed bride isn’t speaking to you? What kind of girl is she to capture your heart?”
On a rare occasion, Qi Chen sighed, “Not only is she not talking to me, she has run away. I don’t even know where she is now.”
Shen Shichuan laughed, somewhat delighted at Qi Chen’s plight, “A woman who dare give you a hard time is indeed rare. You make me genuinely want to meet this new wife of yours. She must be quite a character.”
Qi Chen stood up, sighed, and walked towards the terrace.
After taking a bath, Xia Yangyang couldn’t fall asleep as she lay in bed.
Her mind was filled with the image of Gu Qi Chen.
She wondered what he was doing right now? Has he returned to Maple Villa? Is he still with Shen Manbing?
The more Yangyang thought about it, the more restless she became, feeling like the spacious room was suffocating.
Xia Yangyang finally got up and decided to relax on the patio.
There was a whole wall in the room made entirely of floor-to-ceiling glass.
Pulling back the thick curtains, Xia Yangyang opened the glass door and stepped onto the terrace.
The terrace was built in a Western design, in a Central European architectural style, which Yangyang had seen in the movie “Romeo and Juliet”.
The view outside was magnificent, a great lake under the moonlight resembled a giant mirror; trees were trimmed to form maze-like shapes; British roses were planted all over the flower field.
At a glance, it seemed like she was wandering in the realms of “Alice in Wonderland”.
Yangyang could not help but marvel.
She was surprised to find such a beautiful place in Feng City.
The night breeze of June was not too hot. It felt like a gentle hand brushing against her face.
Yangyang closed her eyes and found herself feeling much more relaxed.
She turned around, intending to go back to sleep.
However, she noticed a figure on the terrace next door..
