The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Only then did Fu Chenxi feel that she had said the wrong thing. She hastily covered her mouth.

Ceng Kai said, “Yes. We’re just friends.”

But Lu Beichen was staring at him from where he was. He remained calm and collected, but at the same time, there was a hint of an unexplainable emotion from him.

Ceng Kai smiled at him. He also quirked his lip upward in response.

Ceng Kai did not think much of it either. All these people were children of wealthy families that could easily change the sky in B City. Naturally, they were different from families like his own that were only slightly wealthy. It was understandable for them to be a bit more arrogant.

This was the first time Ceng Kai had an opportunity to hang out with these people. They usually kept to themselves more and did not really like being with outsiders, especially people like him whose families were not that wealthy.

The situation felt a bit novel to Ceng Kai. He watched them chat at the side as he sat there and listened attentively.

Old Xu teased Little Q, “Look. The sausages become smaller the longer they’re barbecued. How do you feel? Are your balls hurting a little?”

“Damn you. Yours is a small barbecued sausage. Otherwise, why do you only flirt with girls but don’t dare to sleep with them?”

“F***. That’s because I want to give my precious first time to the woman I love.”

“Ha. Your first time is still intact? Didn’t you give it to Miss Five Fingers?”

“Damn you. Don’t you know that every day is a new day? Every day is my first time.”

“Hahaha. You’re so shameless.”

Ceng Kai looked at them and felt that they were really dirty-minded. He did not expect Gu Jingyan to be on such good terms with them.

He found it strange too. Gu Jingyan’s family background was probably not as good as theirs. Why were they able to accept Gu Jingyan into their circle?

Just when he was still wondering about it, he heard them talking to Gu Jingyan again.

“Jingyan, what are you doing? Come and eat.”

Gu Jingyan asked, “What have you barbecued?”

“Everything is done. What do you want to eat?”

“Let me see.” Gu Jingyan went over to get some food. Little Q and Old Xu were extremely considerate of her and brought the food to her.

“Eat this. I barbecued it.”

“Get lost. Eat this instead. It tastes great.”

Gu Jingyan looked at Little Q’s food disdainfully. “This is completely burnt.”

Then, she looked at Old Xu’s and asked, “Oh no. Is this even edible? You useless rich boys. As expected, you can’t do anything.”

“Hey, how dare you look down on us? Yours truly has never barbecued anything for anyone. I gave you the food I barbecued for the first time.”

“Oh, enough. As if I want it, right?”

Ceng Kai looked at them chatting and was puzzled. It looked as if they were indeed on very good terms. They seemed to be quite good people and were very caring towards Gu Jingyan. Furthermore, Gu Jingyan was really bold too and spoke to them very casually. She even insulted them bluntly and called them useless rich boys. If someone else did that, they would have probably been offended. But ordinary people vigorously flattered these young masters and would not possibly say such things.

Old Xu and Little Q were still polite to Ceng Kai. Although they did not know him well, they still respected someone whom Gu Jingyan had brought along.

But Lu Beichen really did not even spare him a glance. Even though he did not express it, Ceng Kai still felt that he was much more arrogant than the others.

Gu Jingyan also noticed Lu Beichen’s unfriendly expression.

But this had nothing to do with her either.

Anyway, this was Old Xu’s party. Old Xu was not even unhappy. Why did he have to put on that expression?

Fu Chenxi looked on from behind and gazed at Lu Beichen strangely.

“Beichen… Do you not like this Ceng Kai?”

Upon hearing Ceng Kai’s name, Lu Beichen even furrowed his brow.

Lu Beichen responded, “What about him? I don’t even know him. There’s nothing to like or dislike.”

Fu Chenxi said, “Ah. But isn’t he Jingyan’s friend, so wouldn’t he also be…”

“Hey, don’t. Her friends are not necessarily mine too. I don’t have such a friend.”

While speaking, Lu Beichen had already propped one leg up on the other and crossed his arms over his chest as if he was unconcerned.

Fu Chenxi said, “Really… I actually think he seems easy to talk to. Why do you dislike him so much?”

Lu Beichen looked at her. “He just doesn’t look like good news.”

“…”

Fu Chenxi asked, “Really?”

Lu Beichen scoffed. “Gu Jingyan is blind. You can’t be going blind too, right?”

“I…”

“Alright. Why are we talking about someone like him? Let’s eat.”

“Oh, alright…”

Fu Chenxi had no choice but to start eating. She did not mention Ceng Kai again.

The next day, the sports field was filled with people after school ended.

Many boys played basketball. But at the moment, there were also many girls surrounding them because today, Old Xu, Little Q, and Lu Beichen had unexpectedly come here to play basketball.

The basketball court, which was usually very large, was immediately tightly surrounded such that others could not even see the people inside.

Because Lu Beichen was bored out of his mind, he pulled the others to come out and play basketball. Because he was very focused, he was drenched in sweat after some time.

By the time Fu Chenxi had dragged Gu Jingyan to watch them play basketball, the three of them already had their clothes wet.

Around them, the girls were letting out ear-splitting screams.

“Wow. Lu Beichen is so handsome!”

“How can his figure be so great?”

“Lu Beichen is so tall, and he plays basketball so well!”

Gu Jingyan looked at these lovestruck fools in disbelief.

But when she looked at Lu Beichen again, he was indeed very tall. He was already 1.8 meters tall now. She did not know if he would continue to grow in the future. Usually, she could not tell when he wore his school uniform. But now that his clothes were wet, his clearly-defined muscles were exposed. She could actually see that his muscles were really well-developed.

He shook off the sweat on his hair. His basketball skills were very good. He lifted his leg and blocked a shot, causing the spectators to start screaming again.

Fu Chenxi got even more excited when she saw this. She also started clapping and shouting, “Beichen, Beichen, go for it!”

Upon hearing her voice, Lu Beichen turned his head and smiled at Fu Chenxi. Then, he looked beside her at Gu Jingyan’s indifferent expression as she stood there. There was no sign of any emotion on her face.

Lu Beichen huffed. He picked the basketball up and did another perfect blocked shot.

But Gu Jingyan remained expressionless.

Lu Beichen gritted his teeth. While dribbling the ball, he turned his head.

However, the girls had already noticed that Lu Beichen was looking in Fu Chenxi’s direction.

They could not help but say enviously, “Fu Chenxi is really lucky.”

“Gu Jingyan is lucky too. Because her friend is going out with Lu Beichen, she’s very close to Lu Beichen too.”

“Exactly. Look, is Lu Beichen looking at Gu Jingyan?”

“It seems like it. Who knows if he’s looking at Fu Chenxi or at Gu Jingyan?”

At this moment, Ceng Kai arrived.

“Wow. Ceng Kai, you’re here for Gu Jingyan, right?” Someone said.

Indeed, Ceng Kai immediately came to Gu Jingyan’s side.

“Jingyan.” He handed a bottle of water to her. “Have some water.”

Gu Jingyan hastily said, “Thank you.”

When Lu Beichen turned his head, he happened to see Gu Jingyan smiling and chatting with Ceng Kai. His eyes dimmed immediately.

This Ceng Kai. He did not know what he was playing.
