The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Gu Jingyan then sprang off. Ceng Kai glanced at the clothing in his hand, smiled, and went back to the classroom.

As expected, everyone in the class was murmuring. “Wow. Ceng Kai, what’s going on?”

“Wow. You’ve gotten lucky in love.”

Ceng Kai started blushing from the comments.

In the afternoon, Fu Chenxi heard rumors that Gu Jingyan had gone to Ceng Kai’s class. Afterward, everyone was talking about how the two of them knew each other.

Ceng Kai was somewhat known as a wealthy person. His family operated a factory that was in the business of manufacturing original equipment. His family was quite rich and he had a good personality too. Thus, everyone was wondering if Gu Jingyan was going to get together with him.

In reality, many wealthy people were courting Gu Jingyan. Some of them had been doing this in secret and not in public. Then, when they saw Gu Jingyan with Lu Beichen together all the time, they no longer dared to court her so brazenly anymore. Some of them continued to express their interest in her from time to time, but most of these wealthy people were playboys who had few accomplishments. Their personalities were not as good as Ceng Kai’s too. Everyone felt that it was not impossible for Gu Jingyan to genuinely take a fancy to Ceng Kai. After all, he was a good person. Gu Jingyan would look for someone like him if she were smart.

Fu Chenxi told Lu Beichen about this. “Everyone is saying that Jingyan wants to get together with Ceng Kai.”

“Ceng Kai?” Lu Beichen asked, “Who’s that?”

“It’s that guy we saw her eating with that one time.”

Lu Beichen recalled who he was. “That’s impossible. Gu Jingyan wouldn’t take a fancy to him.”

“I don’t think so. They said that Gu Jingyan went to their classroom to look for him today.”

Lu Beichen immediately turned his head. “Who said so?”

Fu Chenxi was shocked by his expression. “Well, everyone was talking about it. I didn’t deliberately ask around. After all, Gu Jingyan is too well-known on campus. Everyone will look at her no matter where she goes. No matter what she does, everyone will spread the news.”

Lu Beichen frowned. Internally, he still felt that it was impossible.

“Alright. These people simply like spreading rumors blindly. Just ignore them.”

Fu Chenxi hastily said, “Oh… Alright.”

After class ended, Lu Beichen threw a ball of paper at Gu Jingyan from behind.

“Hey, why did you run off to the Grade Two class to look for a man?”

Gu Jingyan asked, “What? To look for a man?”

“Wasn’t it you? Everyone is talking about it. They said that you went to look for some, Ceng, Ceng what?”

Gu Jingyan’s eyes paused. “Ceng Kai?”

“Yes, yes, yes. This name is so difficult to remember,” he said.

Gu Jingyan asked disbelievingly, “What rumors are there to spread? I just went there to deliver something.”

As Lu Beichen looked at her, he thought to himself, As expected, judging from her attitude, there was probably nothing going on.

“Pft, pft. That’s why I say that these people are really good at spreading information. You should be a bit more careful. Don’t run off randomly and seduce people for no reason.”

“Get lost. You’re the one who seduces people.” She turned her head and threw the same ball of paper back to him.

However, she did not expect someone to shout from the door at that moment. “Gu Jingyan! Someone is looking for you.”

Gu Jingyan let out a sound of affirmation and walked out, only to see that it was Ceng Kai.

“Why are you here?” Gu Jingyan asked.

Ceng Kai said, “Thank you for helping me wash my clothes. This is for you to eat.”

Gu Jingyan saw that he was holding strawberries.

“Ah. So many strawberries. It’s difficult to buy them during this season.”

“Hm. Yes. My grandfather grew them himself. They’re for you to eat. They’re particularly sweet.”

Gu Jingyan was not in a position to reject. “Thank you.”

She received them from him, only to see that everyone around them seemed to be watching them.

Then, she recalled Lu Beichen’s earlier words and said, “Well, I’ll go in first then. I’m still doing my homework.”

“Oh, oh. Alright. Go ahead. See you.”

When she went back in, Lu Beichen’s neck was completely outstretched.

The moment Gu Jingyan had gone out, some people immediately started gossiping.

“It’s Ceng Kai. Everyone is saying that he’s courting Gu Jingyan. It looks like it’s true.”

“You look for me today and I’ll look for you tomorrow. I think there’s something going on.”

“Gu Jingyan is a good student. Will she get into a relationship so early?”

“Who cares about whether it’s too early or not? What era are we in?”

Everyone only stopped talking when they saw Gu Jingyan return.

Lu Beichen looked at the strawberries she was holding and let out a scoff.

“Oh, what’s this?”

He reached out to snatch the strawberries from her.

Gu Jingyan immediately dodged him. “Don’t touch them. You don’t even eat strawberries.”

“Hey. Why do you say I don’t eat strawberries?”

“Strawberries are so sweet. They’re clearly meant to be eaten by girls.”

“Hehe. It’s not because he gave them to you, so you can’t bear for me to eat them, right?”

“What? I just don’t want to let you eat them and waste them.”

“Hehe. As if I even want them,” Lu Beichen rolled his eyes and said.

Gu Jingyan said, “Yes, yes, yes. Of course, Young Master Lu wouldn’t want these strawberries. So, don’t fight with me over them.”

Gu Jingyan opened the box and saw that the strawberries had all been washed and were particularly clean.

She picked out one and ate it. Indeed, it was very sweet.

“Hm, hm. Tastes quite good.”

While watching her eat with satisfaction written all over her face, Lu Beichen clenched his teeth and reached towards her to snatch it.

Gu Jingyan still wanted to take another one, only to see Lu Beichen’s large hand reach over and snatch it from her.

“Hey, Lu Beichen. What are you doing? I thought you said you didn’t want it?”

“Why? Can’t I have one?” He stuffed a strawberry into his mouth. “Pft. I thought it was something good.” While eating, he even curled his lip with a disdainful expression.

Gu Jingyan looked at him as if genuinely about to die from anger.

“Hey, you don’t like eating it but you still snatched it from me. What’s wrong with you?”

Feeling indignant, she approached him and started fighting with him.

Lu Beichen’s arms were extremely long. He held them high and simply refused to pass them to her.

“Give them to me. Quick, give them to me.” She jumped up and grabbed at it.

But Lu Beichen raised it even higher.

“You…”

Gu Jingyan tried snatching it again. The moment she touched it, the whole box of strawberries fell to the ground instantly.

Lu Beichen took a step and even squashed a strawberry with his foot.

“You…”

Gu Jingyan’s expression darkened.

She stood there and stomped her foot. “Lu Beichen, you did that on purpose, right?”

Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows. He took a step backwards when he saw the strawberries all over the floor. Then, he said nonchalantly, “Oh no. Now, you have nothing to eat. Look at you. Why did you snatch them from me?”

He still dared to blame her for it?

Gu Jingyan looked at him. “Lu Beichen, you did it on purpose. Even if you don’t want to eat, you shouldn’t waste it.”

“How did I do it on purpose? Hehe. Why? Another man gave them to you. Now that they’ve fallen onto the floor, you’re sad and upset? Seriously, can’t you be a bit more mature? It’s just a few strawberries.”

“You…”

Gu Jingyan was genuinely about to die from anger at hearing his strange tone.

“He’s just a man. If you want a man, I have so many. Why don’t I introduce them to you one by one? So many of them are better than that Ceng Kai or whatever.”

Gu Jingyan immediately stretched both her arms out and pushed Lu Beichen’s chest.

After being pushed so forcefully, Lu Beichen leaned backwards and fell directly onto the ground.

Everyone looked at them and wondered what had happened between the two of them…

Why had they started a fight in the classroom?

Gu Jingyan was way too bold as well. She even dared to hit Young Master Lu like this.
