Translator: 549690339

Su Wanwan had chosen a zombie flick that had been a recent hit, “Train to Busan”, to watch. After the two-hour-long movie, Mo Weiyi’s voice turned hoarse after screaming so much due to fear.

“That was too intense. No, no, I want to switch to a romantic movie.”

Su Wanwan checked the time, “It’s six o’clock, I need to go home.”

“Then why don’t we have dinner before you leave? Xiaobai is always busy working overtime and going to social events, it’s so boring eating alone.”

Mo Weiyi suggested, tossed the remote control away and stood up, “What do you want to eat? I can ask Aunt Jiang to cook it for you.”

The phone suddenly rang. Su Wanwan casually mentioned a few common choices for dinner, and as soon as Mo Weiyi left, she answered the call, “Hello?”

“Junior Sis, I heard you got married?” The voice on the other end of the line sounded surprised and anxious, “Oh my God, didn’t you go back to catch your cheater fiance? How did this become about getting married? A good horse doesn’t eat the grass it’s already passed by, I’m so disappointed in you! Is my naturally fresh and genuine little sister really you? The one behind the facade, quickly tear off your masks now…”

“Stop!” Su Wanwan interrupted, “It’s not Xing Yuyun.”

“Then who is it?”

“You wouldn’t know him.”

“Is he more handsome than me?”

After some consideration, Su Wanwan said, “He is older than you.”

“What? He’s older than me? I don’t believe it! I’ve measured my golden cudgel, it’s 18 centimeters long!”

“Ye! Qi! Tian!”

Su Wanwan turned red, uttering each word almost through gritted teeth, “What I meant was that he’s older than you in age!”

“How much older?”

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and took the opportunity when a call beeped in, to hastily reply, “I have some urgent matter over here, I’ll hang up now.”

“Junior Sis…”

The incoming call was made by Huo Jingshen.

As soon as the call connected.

“Why did you take so long to answer?”

Su Wanwan pouted, “What can I do for you, Sir?”

Huo Jingshen hesitated noticeably, “Sir?”

Su Wanwan coughed twice.

He was much older, and every utterance from his mouth displayed a sense of superiority, almost as if he was a wealthy landowner from ancient times lecturing his servant.

“I have a meeting soon,” Huo Jingshen immediately said, “In half an hour, have Xiaosan pick you up at the Imperial Court. A casual gathering with a few friends, you don’t have to dress up.”

Su Wanwan thought to herself, I didn’t say I was going to dress up.

“Where to?”

“Guedi.”

“Can I take a taxi directly there from Weiyi’s house?”

“That works.” After saying that, Huo Jingshen ended the call.

He was brief and decisive.

After having dinner with Mo Weiyi, Su Wanwan took a taxi to Guedi.

Given her past experience with the scandal that broke out on the newspapers, she had average impressions of this place. However, the fact that they could still operate successfully even after such a scandal showed that the management had quite the firm hold.

After she reported her identity as Mrs. Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan was quickly escorted to the sixth floor. After crossing the dark corridor, she finally stopped in front of a private room named “Fire Emperor”.

After the servant knocked twice, the door was opened.

“There she is! Our little sister-in-law has arrived!”

The moment Nangong Ci shouted these words, everyone in the box turned their gazes towards the door.

Su Wanwan also looked back at them.

Well.

There were men, and there were women.

Some she knew, some she didn’t.

However, without exception, each person was extremely attractive.

There’s no need to mention her own husband. He happened to be wearing a striking white shirt and sat right in the middle of the couch. He looked maturely handsome, gracious in demeanor. Every move he made seemed to carry an aura of nobility around him, standing out like a crane amongst chickens.

As for the other men, each was handsome in their own unique way. Even the only girl present was very beautiful, dressed in a yellow dress that gave off the impression of being elegant and intelligent.

Indeed, “Birds of a feather flock together”. People who look good tend to be friends with others who are equally good-looking.

Then, a teasing male voice suddenly said, “Wow, Ah Shen, this one’s quite fresh. Sister-in-law, have you turned eighteen yet? Did you finish your homework?”

“Pfft!” Nangong Ci broke into laughter.

Huo Jingshen glanced at the man. His gaze was sharp, and his voice was icy, “Is your brain not working or is it your eyes?”

“What were you talking about, Lao Gu?” Nangong Ci hurriedly tried to explain in a serious tone, “Our sister-in-law is 20 years old this year, which is just right for big brother!”

“Twenty?” The one called Lao Gu, a handsome guy, looked Su Wanwan up and down, making a tsking sound, “Ten years older, darn it, Ah Shen, you really can eat such fare?”

Her hair was tied into a bun. Her face was as small as the palm of a hand, looking very soft. She also did not wear any make-up. She was wearing a casual overshirt and denim shorts and a pair of white shoes on her feet.

Although she was beautiful and had a clean vibe, she was too young. She looked like a minor, you would believe it if someone told you she was seventeen or eighteen!

“Older husband, younger wife.” Lao Gu concluded.

Everyone else:

“Shameless!”

“Disgusting!”

“Animal!”

Lu Chenyu, word by word: “Worse than a beast!”

A shadow of a frown appeared on Huo Jingshen’s face.

Did they come for a gathering or for sabotage?

“Alright, enough from each of you.”

Chu Xiuhuang, who appeared rather lazy, spoke, “Big brother barely managed to find a girl like this. Don’t scare her off, huh.”

Su Wanwan remembered this man from her last trip to the Imperial Court. His unique handsome face was quite small. Wearing a shirt with dark floral prints, holding a cigarette in one hand and red wine in the other, his narrow eyes slightly squinted. The smoke circled around him when he spoke, he gave off a kind of… unspeakable charm and allure.

He was the only one present who had brought his girlfriend, so he seemed like a good person.

But who would have thought….
