The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

So, Fu Chenxi was affirmative that Gu Jingyan won’t be coming.

After all, she had just gotten a divorce and probably would not want to see anyone.

However, unexpectedly, her calculations were turned over…

Fu Chenxi drove over to the place using the car Lu Beichen bought her, which probably had a value quite high.

When she arrived, the people outside looked at her and did not imagine her coming in as she did.

She was a follower in the past, and now she was driving a posh car.

Even though it had been years since they all last saw each other and that everyone had changed a lot, it was still undeniable that the bond was there.

However, those who everyone thought would live an exceptional life in the future seemed to live a rather dull life.

On the other hand, those considered as nothing seemed to live a better one.

For instance, Fu Chenxi.

Everyone pestered her when she arrived, asking her what she was doing and how to earn money. She truthfully said that she did nothing much. Everyone thought that without Lu Beichen, she would have probably married into a not too shabby family.

Meanwhile…

Outside.

Someone said Gu Jingyan was around the premise…

Which was something Fu Chenxi did not expect at all.

With Gu Jingyan’s entrance, a group of people who knew her started complimenting and greeting her, which made her affluence even more obvious. There was a stark difference compared to other classmates.

Back then, nobody knew that Gu Jingyan was the Gu family’s fourth Young Mistress.

Later, after she went public with Lu Beichen, everyone then knew that they had such a brilliant classmate.

Looking at how she had brought bodyguards along with her, everyone watched in amazement.

“This is the first time I’m seeing the power of the Gu family.”

“This extravagance can only belong to the Gu family.”

“No doubt it’s the Gu family’s fourth Young Mistress. Powerful indeed.”

Just then, someone noticed that Fu Chenxi’s expression looked unnatural.

It was just as well. Everyone knew that she had a relationship with Lu Beichen for some time.

Now, this was the Gu family’s fourth Young Mistress, and of course, it overshadowed her. Guess it must have infuriated her.

But she had no choice.

Everyone looked at Fu Chenxi with sympathy. They felt that it was just unfortunate for her to be in that relationship and to meet a love rival who was none other than the Gu family’s fourth Young Mistress.

How could Fu Chenxi ignore these eyes? She felt like her heart had shattered into pieces. It was extremely unbearable.

And what made her even more upset happened next.

After Gu Jingyan had entered, she searched for Fu Chenxi.

“Chenxi… Oh, you’re here, too.”

Everyone turned back to look at Fu Chenxi, as though expecting a good drama coming on.

Fu Chenxi held her hands and could only reply, “Jingyan, I didn’t think you would come.”

“Oh? You’re already here. How could I not come?”

Fu Chenxi’s heart paused.

“It’s not just me who’s here,” Gu Jingyan said as she looked out. Lu Beichen had just parked his car and came in at that moment.

“Wait for me, Gu Jingyan,” Lu Beichen said as he walked in. Soon, he saw the two women standing there, and he stopped at where he was.

A show unfolded in front of everyone’s eyes, and they all thought that it was going to be exciting.

Fu Chenxi gathered her heart quickly.

She looked at Lu Beichen and said, “Beichen, why are you here…”

Seeing that Gu Jingyan was still around, Lu Beichen could not be bothered to speak with Fu Chenxi.

“I’m here for the high school reunion.”

“That’s right. You’re here, so of course, he’ll be here,” Gu Jingyan said.

This sentence had another meaning…

Everyone felt their throats get dry.

The ammo was too strong.

Lu Beichen immediately said, “Hey, don’t spout nonsense. I came because of you.”

Fu Chenxi froze.

She looked sadly at Lu Beichen.

What did he mean?

Gu Jingyan frowned. “Is that so? I didn’t force you to come. I gave you the power to choose, and yet you insisted on coming.”

At this moment, she said he insisted on coming…

Fine, fine. He was afraid. He would not say anything anymore.

“Yes, yes, yes. But you’re here, and so I insisted on coming. I want to protect you.”

Glancing at Fu Chenxi, Lu Beichen pulled Gu Jingyan in to sit.

Fu Chenxi was astonished. What was wrong with Lu Beichen?

He seemed to have completely ignored her.

She could not believe it and turned her head around to look at Lu Beichen. “Beichen, you guys… are you guys alright?”

What was alright?

Lu Beichen looked at Fu Chenxi and thought that her sentence at this point was not right.

Looking at Fu Chenxi, he said fiercely, “Good. We’re very good.”

Gu Jingyan noticed Lu Beichen leaning over. She pushed him. “Please. Leave me farther. It’s so warm.”

“I can’t do that. I’m your husband. I have to stay close.”

Everyone looked on and could not help having goosebumps all over their bodies.

“Hey, hey. Are you two here to torture people?”

“Yeah, exactly. Coming here to be lovey-dovey.”

“Haven’t you guys been married for long? Why are you guys still so mushy?”

“Lu Beichen. You are Lu Beichen. Why are you so henpecked now?”

Lu Beichen’s face darkened.

Henpecked?

Seeing how Gu Jingyan was high up in her seat, he had better suck it up.

If he was henpecked, so be it.

“What do you guys know? You’re just jealous,” Lu Beichen said and silently gave in to being called henpecked.

Everyone soon felt even sourer.

Gu Jingyan looked at him in surprise. Why is he so meek?

But there was no way she was letting him off that easily.

Soon, she smiled again and said, “Speaking of which, we haven’t seen one another for so many years. Don’t run away from us the moment you see us, alright? Oh yes, that reminds me… back then, Lu Beichen, you were in a relationship with Chenxi for some time.”

Lu Beichen knew it…

His face darkened but also cleared up immediately. “Hey, that’s old news. I was still young, so it happened.”

Fu Chenxi felt a stab in her chest.

Everyone could tell that Lu Beichen was trying to pacify the situation just to get into Gu Jingyan’s good books.

Even the mighty Lu Beichen had to curry favor with Gu Jingyan…

But it made sense. Gu Jingyan was the young mistress from the Gu family after all.

Speaking of which, if any other people married Lu Beichen, they could not have a hold over him.

But Gu Jingyan was different. Since they were well-matched in family status, Lu Beichen couldn’t think about doing anything else.

Gu Jingyan could let him die in a million ways. Even if he did not die, she could skin him alive.

Gu Jingyan looked at Lu Beichen innocently. “Hey, Chenxi is still around. How can you say that? If you didn’t take an interest in Chenxi back then, there wouldn’t be a memory to look back on.”

“No, for real! Back then, I didn’t know what feelings were and what was love.”

Gu Jingyan replied, “Oh?”

Lu Beichen said, “Even if Chenxi is here, I dare say this because this is the truth. I have to be honest with her. I can’t lie.”

Fu Chenxi looked at Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen in astonishment.

What was going on with Lu Beichen?

No, some evidence against him must have landed in Gu Jingyan’s hands.
