The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Gu Jingyan was already a scenery on her own just by standing there.

Gu Jingyan walked in and Lu Qinyu welcomed her. “Oh my, I was just asking why weren’t you here.”

“Uncle Lu, they insisted on dragging me here. See? I didn’t even change my clothes. It’s embarrassing to turn up like this.”

“Hey, you don’t have to change your clothes. Treat this as your own home and that you’re just here to have fun. You don’t need to dress up formally.”

“But this is a banquet.”

“You look beautiful in anything you wear. Oh my, see? Old Gu is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. I’m so jealous of him.”

“Uncle Lu, isn’t Chuxia beautiful? My mom is jealous of you too. Chuxia is so sensible and capable. She’s now the capital’s top socialite. As for me? I’m such a deadbeat. My mom always says that if she had such a good girl for a daughter, she’d be so willing to swap me out.”

Who wouldn’t like others to praise their children? No matter how someone liked another person’s child, he or she wouldn’t not like their own children. Thus, when Lu Qinyu heard her, he beamed. “We can exchange next time. Seriously, my daughter only knows how to create trouble. I worry about her non-stop. You could teach her too.”

“Yeah. It would be nice if we could balance each other out, right?”

“Well, there is never such a good thing,” Lu Qinyu said.

This tender loving behavior looked extremely harmonious in the eyes of others. They looked on in wonder. These two top family clans had such a good relationship. It really made one envy.

However, everyone said that Lu Beichen’s girlfriend was someone else.

To people, this was surprising and unbelievable.

Fu Chenxi heard Gu Jingyan and Old Man Lu’s exchange loud and clear. Gu Jingyan really knew how to hold a conversation. Furthermore, she looked so gracious and did not seem to lack in anything.

People around watched and said, “The Gu family produced a good daughter. She is so likable.”

“And she knows how to talk, and how to step in and out of the limelight. She doesn’t seem to have any flaw.”

“She is very amicable.”

Fu Chenxi quietly backed away. As she stood to the side and watched, there was an unexplainable feeling in her heart.

Perhaps she shouldn’t think that way, but at this moment, there was some hatred in her heart. If she had such a good family background too, she wouldn’t have to be met by judgment.

It was a pity that her family was so average. In fact, they were far from being rich. How could they compare with all these elite wealthy families?

When Gu Jingyan was done chatting with everyone, she then followed the group to sit behind.

She sat down but did not see Fu Chenxi. Gu Jingyan asked, “Where is Chenxi?”

Lu Beichen also did not see her. He looked left and right before saying, “She probably went to the washroom.”

Gu Jingyan looked at her. “Can you look after your girlfriend better?”

Lu Beichen said, “We’re all adults. Don’t tell me she’d still get lost?”

Gu Jingyan shook her head and looked at Lu Beichen, who lowered his head to eat. Given that sloppy behavior, he did not look like he was the type to care too much about his girlfriend.

Thankfully, she was not his girlfriend. Otherwise, she’d definitely be angered to death.

But she couldn’t deny that he was actually not a bad person as a friend.

Gu Jingyan was opening a can of drink. Seeing that she was struggling, Lu Beichen took it and opened it for her.

Gu Jingyan said, “Thanks.”

“No need to be so formal with me.”

Gu Jingyan looked at him. “Actually, you’re quite a nice guy when you’re not arguing or fighting.”

“Of course. I am a good guy, to begin with.”

“Haha.”

“Seriously, Gu Jingyan, you’re just biased against me. We kinda know each other since we were kids. No matter how I bully you, that’s between us. Don’t worry. If any outsider dares to lay a finger on you, I won’t let him off because we’re friends. Got it?”

Gu Jingyan smiled and said, “Okay, I know. If you weren’t so domineering and arrogant, you’re actually quite nice.”

“Yeah. If you weren’t so barbaric and unreasonable, you’re actually quite nice too.”

“You…”

“What? You said it first.”

Gu Jingyan glared hard at him. But when everyone looked at one another, they smiled in amusement.

It was lively here. Not long after, Fu Chenxi came back.

The color of her face was off. She did not look good.

Gu Jingyan nudged Lu Beichen. “Go check on Chenxi.”

Lu Beichen then quickly hurried over.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s just… I think I should go home.”

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“Yes… A little.”

“Come on then, I’ll send you home.”

Fu Chenxi looked at him and nodded silently.

The couple got to the house entrance. Lu Beichen opened the car door for her. Fu Chenxi looked at him. “Beichen…”

“What’s wrong?”

“I think…”

“Tell me.”

“Do you like me?”

“Of course.” Lu Beichen looked at Fu Chenxi. “You’re my girlfriend.”

Fu Chenxi shook her head. “So… Are you with me because you like me?”

“Of course.”

“But I don’t understand. Why do you like me?”

“…” Lu Beichen had never thought that much. He was definitely a rich playboy because his family had wealth and power. He didn’t have to think so carefully when he did anything. He only did things according to his own will. If he wanted to, he would. If he didn’t want to, he wouldn’t.

Seeing that he kept silent, Fu Chenxi bit her lip as she got out of the car, closed the door, and walked in while crying.

“Hey, Chenxi. Fu Chenxi, what are you doing?”

Fu Chenxi cried and said, “Go, leave. I don’t want to see you.”

“What’s wrong? What did I do that makes you not want to see me?” Of course, Lu Beichen didn’t understand. He was only bewildered. He hadn’t said anything.

Fu Chenxi stood at the door. “Are you just toying with me? Are you with me because you think I’m fun to fool around with?”

“Why would you think that way?”

Was he that kind of person? Of course not! That thought had never crossed his mind. Neither had he ever done that. He thought that he had been a good boyfriend. How did she end up with this kind of sentiment?

“Don’t let your mind run wild!”

“It must be the case. You’re so rich that you can play with whoever you want. Why me? Go! I don’t want to see you anymore. Don’t disturb me ever again!”

Lu Beichen really did not understand what had gotten into her. He heard her go upstairs. For a long time, he tried to call her on her mobile phone but she did not pick up. He stood there and shouted out to her but was ignored.

He cursed silently. He also felt perplexed as he left.

Fu Chenxi really did not believe that he would fancy anything about her.

Especially when so many people felt that she was no match for him. It made her worry more.

Was he toying with her? Was he going to leave her? Was he never serious about her? She had no idea. Her heart and mind were a mess.
