Two in the morning.

The platinum suite in “Night Emperor” Bar.

Three men, arms linked, stare uniformly at the stern-faced Gu Qichen sitting across them in a single seat sofa.

Yawning, Mu Liancheng says, “What’s the matter with Young Master Gu today? He called us all out in the early morning, isn’t drinking or talking. Seems he invited us here just to mess around.”

Ah K rubs his chin and says, “Second Brother is acting unusual today, seems like he’s been heartbroken.”

Xue Shaotang slaps Ah K on the head, “Kid, don’t always bury your head in numbers all day, look at the news occasionally! Didn’t you see Manbing publicly proposing to your Second Brother? After all these years, he’s finally gonna get the girl. I think your Second Brother called us here just to show off.”

Ah K rubs his head, “But Second Brother doesn’t seem happy at all.”

With that, everyone’s attention was once again drawn to Gu Qichen’s face.

Like scrutinizing a rare artifact, the group started studying Gu Qichen’s expressions.

They unanimously concluded that Gu Qichen was exhibiting classic pre-wedding jitters.

Just then, the suite door opened.

Shen Shichuan had arrived.

Xue Shaotang quickly calls out, “Chuan, come see! Your brother-in-law is being a bully. He’s about to get married and called us single guys to hang out just to show off his fashionable case of pre-marital jitters. It’s unbearable!”

Smoothly walking over, Shen Shichuan dropped a bomb, “He got married three months ago.”

The group stared, looking as though they had been struck by lightning.

Everyone exclaimed, “If he was already married, why propose now? The folks in your circle sure know how to have fun.”

Shen Shichuan decisively dropped another bomb, “The one he married isn’t Manbing, but a 20-year-old girl.”

Watching the faces of everyone who looked as if they had been struck by lightning again, Shen Shichuan felt strangely satisfied.

They could hardly believe what they were hearing, never expecting the famously single Young Master Gu to have married so quietly, and to such a young girl.

Mu Liancheng teases, “An old cow eating tender grass, eh?”

Then Xue Shaotang reminds him, “Liancheng, you’re hardly better. The child bride your family found for you just turned 20 today.”

Mentioning that young woman from home, Mu Liancheng’s face turned sour, “Don’t bring up that annoying girl. Recently, the old woman at home has been pressuring me to consummate our marriage since the girl’s on summer vacation. It makes me want to leave home.”

Everyone looked sympathetic; they’ve heard Mu Liancheng’s child wife is ugly and unrefined. Even though another woman is usually a welcome addition, such an unsavory one was overwhelming.

Over there, Gu Qichen suddenly utters under his breath, “How can she do this to me, that heartless woman!”

Gu Qichen seemed to be talking to himself. He had been immersed in his own world all night, wearing a stern expression and not saying a word.

When he suddenly popped up with those words, everyone was stunned.

All eyes turned to Shen Shichuan, as if waiting for him to explain the meaning of his words.

Shen Shichuan didn’t disappoint: “His little wife went abroad with another man for a half-month vacation. When she returned, she gave him a divorce agreement.”

Everyone gasped in shock.

“That’s badass!” Xue Shaotang exclaimed in disbelief.

Ah K grumbled angrily, “Who is that woman? I’ll hack her computer, find her nudes, and post them online. Second Brother, I’ll take revenge for you.”

Xue Shaotang warned him, “You dare to expose your Second Brother’s wife’s nudes? Aren’t you afraid he’ll flay you alive?”

Mu Liancheng slowly got up, sat down next to Gu Qichen, slung an arm around his shoulder, and began to comfort him in a wise tone, “Brother, to carry on with life we sometimes have to wear the green hat. Try to take it easy, it’s not the end of the world..”
