Chapter 1690: Gathering (3)
Su Chen thought it was not quite right, there was some doubt in his dark eyes as he quietly looked at Mu Yuchen.
“One thing begets another. Don’t look at others with your narrow eyes. Uncle Zhou also said before that Qin Su is a person with very strong control. Who can guarantee that she won’t be able to subdue Zimo? I’m looking forward to it.”
When Mu Yuchen said this, he gave an unfathomable smile.
Su Chen trembled slightly and coughed lightly. “Alright, I won’t comment on this. When Zimo finds out that he’s been tricked, it has nothing to do with me. You can take it on yourself!”
“Such conduct!”
Mu Yuchen glanced at him, his dark eyes filled with disdain as he looked down on him.
Su Chen just shrugged and said nonchalantly, “Terrible conduct is nothing compared to my life!”
Mu Yuchen scoffed.
When they arrived at Zhou Zimo’s villa, the sky had already turned completely silent. The courtyard was also shrouded in a dim yellow and gentle light.
The two brothers went straight through the corridor by the frontyard and entered the living room shortly after.
Mu Yuchen took off his coat while Su Chen made some tea.
“They’re cooking themselves, we’ll just wait to eat. I’ll go to the wine cellar downstairs and get a few bottles of wine to drink up.”
Su Chen did not wait for Mu Yuchen to answer as he got up and walked towards the basement.
Mu Yuchen took two sips of tea before walking towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Qi Lei was the chef while Zhou Zimo was the helper.
Just as he pushed the door open, an alluring aroma assaulted his nostrils.
When they heard the commotion, the two of them turned around and looked over.
“You’re back!” Zhou Zimo said.
“Su Chen called right after we got off the plane. What delicious food are you making?”
Mu Yuchen looked at the few dishes that had already been prepared leisurely as his handsome brows raised.
“Some seafood, we’re having a seafood feast, consider yourself lucky. We went to the village at the port this afternoon to take a look, just happened to be in time.”
It was Qi Lei who replied.
“I think we’re pretty lucky. A few days ago, my mother said she wanted to go over too, but the weather was too hot and the sea was stormy. The fishermen rarely went out to fish, so we didn’t make it.”
“Xiaye didn’t come along?”
“She’s in a hurry to see the child. She’s went back to Maple Residence and then will go back to the old residence. She went back first. I have to go back to the old residence later too.”
“Okay,” Mu Yuchen replied as he took the wet towel from Zhou Zimo and wiped his hands.
“Alright, take the dishes out first. There are still two more dishes to go.”
Qi Lei put the dishes in the pot on the plate and said, “Let’s go.”
Mu Yuchen did as he was told.
The table was full of delicious dishes. The few of them started drinking as well. After a toast, Mu Yuchen looked up at Qi Lei across from him, “Qi Lei wouldn’t have such free time to just treat us to a meal. Are you planning to hold a wedding with Dongfang Liuyun?”
Hold a wedding?
Dongfang Liuyun!
Zhou Zimo’s eyes widened when he heard the news. He looked at Qi Lei in surprise and could not quite snap out of it.
Su Chen was much calmer than him. He had heard about this from Mu Yuchen before, but Zhou Zimo did not know yet. He only knew that Qi Lei seemed to know Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun was not a stranger to the buddies, so Zhou Zimo naturally knew who he was referring to.
“Qi Lei, you and Dongfang Liuyun? You and her? The youngest professor at University A, Dongfang Liuyun?”
Zhou Zimo looked at Qi Lei in surprise. “Not bad, how did you get a share of the action with that legendary woman?”
Qi Lei glanced at him indifferently and replied in a low voice, “Why do I have to have ulterior motives? I’ve always focused on emotional exchange, I’m not that kind of person with ulterior motives.”
Mu Yuchen narrowed his eyes and exchanged a look with Su Chen. The two of them glanced at Qi Lei disapprovingly before clinking glasses and taking a sip.
“Bring her over next time!”
Su Chen spoke up after that.
“Hey, Qi Lei, when did that happen? Why did you get married without saying anything?”
Zhou Zimo only recovered at this moment.
“It’s been quite a while. I had to go on a business trip, so I got delayed. I didn’t plan to hide this matter.”
Qi Lei was straightforward.
“What happened with you guys? There wasn’t any news before, how did you guys get married just like that? You should at least turn to Su Chen, let us know.”
“Wrong. The time I’ve really known her isn’t any shorter than Su Chen and Ji Zitong. We’ve played countless dungeons together and entered and exited many bases. She’s my person in the game.”
Qi Lei narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zimo and said disapprovingly.
This time, Zhou Zimo coughed lightly and teased, “So it’s an online relationship?”
“Get lost! What do you mean online relationship? We’re together in real life and online.”
It was not an online relationship!
In reality, they often went out to drink and chat to pass the time. They also met many times, so how could it be an online relationship? Although he admitted that they did meet through the game and online.
At this moment, Zhou Zimo couldn’t help but sigh—
“You’re really lucky, you really fell in love online? You just played a game and got a wife so easily. I also play games almost every day, why don’t I have that kind of luck?”
Zhou Zimo could not help but feel a little depressed.
“Your fate might not be worse than his. Maybe it’s just around the corner.”
Su Chen could not help but laugh when he saw Zhou Zimo’s handsome frown. He gave Mu Yuchen a look, but Mu Yuchen’s reaction was calm. A sly smile appeared on his lips as he lowered his head and continued to sip his wine.
“This is a scene that only appears in fairy tales. Don’t talk to me like that, but since that’s the case, I can only wish you the best. Just don’t forget to send out the invitation for the wedding. It seems like you won’t be able to escape being the best man again this time. Can you be the best man three times?”
Zhou Zimo took a deep breath and shrugged.
“If you like it, no one will stop you even if you do it a thousand times.”
Mu Yuchen’s deep voice came through as he looked at him. “But I don’t want you to be the best man again after this. You should change.”
“Don’t talk about me again. It’s Qi Lei who’s telling us about his marriage now.”
Zhou Zimo was a lot more sensitive to this issue.
“Look at your temper! Almost all the buddies are here, and you’re the only one left. Aren’t you embarassed trying to change the topic? You have to face it seriously. There’s no sense of tension at all. Who’s my daughter going to ask for a son-in-law from?”
Su Chen suddenly scolded him in such a low voice.
“Ji Zitong is pregnant?”
As soon as Su Chen said this, Zhou Zimo immediately widened his eyes and looked at Su Chen.
“Not yet, but I feel that with my current efforts, it’s about time!”
“F*ck off. Let’s talk about it when the child is born!”
