In the huge private room, the lighting was ample and bright, but the entire room had fallen into a dead silence, as if even the air was frozen, and breathing seemed to have disappeared.
Cheng Jin.
Married???
Clearly, these three people had all seen big scenes in their daily lives and were people who could handle problems calmly.
But at this moment, the three of them could only stare fixedly at his left hand wearing the wedding ring.
“A wedding ring? Is this a wedding ring?” Liu Bozhou asked, turning to look at Jiang Min’an as if uncertain.
But he received no reply.
Because Jiang Min’an was frowning hard, staring at Cheng Jin.
As for Wei Yuan beside them, he looked thoughtful.
Cheng Jin, however, curled the corners of his lips and looked at them, saying in a slow tone, “Jealousy is jealousy, but at this time shouldn’t you say something to me…”
Cheng Jin paused for a moment, and a smile bloomed on his face. “Congratulations.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said that; once he did, it completely ignited the whole private room.
Jiang Min’an seemed to just recover from the shock, turned to Liu Bozhou and asked, “He, he really got married?”
Liu Bozhou was speechless. “You ask him. You ask me, how would I know?”
Jiang Min’an: “You really got married?”
Liu Bozhou: “Yeah? Really?”
Jiang Min’an: “No, I still don’t believe it. He must be messing with us.”
Liu Bozhou: “If he’s not married, why would he buy a wedding ring for no reason?”
At this moment, Jiang Min’an looked at Wei Yuan, who had been silent, and couldn’t help saying, “Wei Woodenhead, hurry up and say something?”
Wei Yuan: “You really got married?”
This sentence made the other two laugh.
Sure enough, even Wei Woodenhead was shocked beyond measure.
Liu Bozhou: “See, even Wei Woodenhead doesn’t believe it.”
Jiang Min’an: “Normal people wouldn’t believe it, okay?”
Jiang Min’an: “Why does it feel like a dream?”
Jiang Min’an: “How about I give you a hit, and you see if it hurts.”
He really felt that he was still dreaming, and just wanted to give Liu Bozhou beside him a hit.
But just as he finished speaking, Liu Bozhou punched him straight in the chest.
Liu Bozhou asked expressionlessly, “Does it hurt?”
Jiang Min’an, hit by this punch, clutched his chest and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
After the pain finally eased, he looked at Liu Bozhou and roared, “You really did it? Couldn’t you be a little gentler?”
“If it wasn’t hard, how would you know this isn’t a dream?” Liu Bozhou smiled falsely.
Seeing them talking more and more densely, Cheng Jin felt his ears hurt, so he simply sat down on the sofa beside them.
This made Jiang Min’an even more anxious.
Jiang Min’an: “I say, how do you still have the nerve to sit down?”
Cheng Jin looked up at him. “I’m tired, I just want to sit.”
Then he said slowly, “What, just because I got married, you’re already so jealous you won’t even let me sit on the sofa?”
Jiang Min’an: “…”
‘Married, married, married.’
Jiang Min’an felt these two words were about to drill into his brain like a demonic sound.
‘Fine, fine, fine, so you’re the only one in the world who got married, okay?’
But at this moment, Jiang Min’an looked at the other two and said, “Don’t you think this is very strange? How could he suddenly get married?”
Liu Bozhou nodded. “It is very strange.”
Anyone would know it’s strange.
Wei Yuan listened to the two of them talking in circles, and couldn’t help frowning. “Say something useful.”
“Isn’t this useful enough?” Jiang Min’an was speechless. “Fine, fine, fine, you ask something useful.”
Liu Bozhou was about to persuade him, but better not make things difficult for Wei Woodenhead.
Wei Yuan, however, looked at Cheng Jin and tilted his head slightly.
Wei Yuan: “When did you get married?”
Wei Yuan: “Who is the one who married you?”
Wei Yuan: “Who else knows?”
The other two looked at Wei Yuan in shock. After a while, Liu Bozhou sighed, “Look what you’ve driven him to. Even Woodenhead can say so much.”
Wei Yuan was famously quiet, like this since childhood.
And ever since he started working, because he was forced to deal with many people, his frequency of speaking was much higher than before.
For a period when he was young, he spoke so little that his family suspected he had autism.
Fortunately, the Wei family was rich. His parents even thought that even if he had autism, the family could support him for a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, after seeing a specialist, the answer they got was that there was nothing wrong with the child; he just didn’t like to talk.
Fine, as long as he’s normal. If he doesn’t like to talk, then he doesn’t talk.
So the fact that he could ask so many questions now was truly rare.
“Yeah, isn’t that right,” Jiang Min’an chimed in sarcastically from the side.
Cheng Jin watched them going back and forth and let out a light scoff. “So childish.”
This sentence stabbed right into Jiang Min’an.
He immediately said angrily, “Not as childish as you. I thought we were gathering, but you came here to show off to us.”
Don’t be fooled by how these few people outside are all elites, wherever they go everyone respectfully greets them, but…
They had been playing together since they were children, and back then there was no concept of needing to be steady and maintain their status.
Even now, they still pretend quite well.
Those who don’t know would think they’re holding some Boss roundtable conference.
Actually, in private they’re terribly childish, and all day long they even bicker.
Although these few people occasionally have others join their gatherings, everyone knows that truly trying to insert themselves among them is impossible.
The feelings they built up from childhood are not just a matter of time.
They also represent a period of years that no one can replace.
With Wei Yuan’s personality, even if he speaks little, would an ordinary person dare call him Wei Woodenhead?
Only the three of them dare to call him that.
Also, when Cheng Jin’s mother passed away, they were the ones who stayed by his side day and night.
“Actually, I have been married for quite some time,” Cheng Jin said slowly.
This time, even Wei Yuan showed a surprised expression.
Liu Bozhou: “No, what do you mean you’ve been married for some time?”
Jiang Min’an: “Just say it directly. How long exactly?”
Cheng Jin: “Almost half a year now.”
“Fuck.”
“Bastard.”
The two most emotional people immediately couldn’t take it.
Liu Bozhou clutched his chest and said to Jiang Min’an, “No, my heart disease is about to act up. Quick, call me an ambulance.”
Jiang Min’an completely ignored his dramatic act and looked straight at Cheng Jin. “You’ve been married for half a year, and you only told me today?”
Jiang Min’an, who had originally only been shocked, instantly felt an indescribable nameless fire surge in his heart.
“Cheng Jin, do you still not treat us as your own people?”
This time he was truly angry.
Cheng Jin looked at him and said softly, “Of course. That’s why I’m telling you in person.”
His expression was serious at this moment, which instead made Jiang Min’an feel that his anger was a bit inexplicable.
But Cheng Jin said, “After all, marriage isn’t just my own matter. I have to consider her feelings.”
“Huh?” Liu Bozhou was puzzled. He said, “You mean, there’s a girl who, after marrying you, actually doesn’t let you tell others?”
This was simply too unreasonable.
This was Cheng Jin, after all.
This was fucking Cheng Jin.
Although they were all men, generally everyone would think they were the most outstanding and excellent one, especially when comparing among brothers; it was absolutely impossible to easily admit defeat.
But Liu Bozhou and the others also knew that Cheng Jin was someone who attracted people’s affection.
From childhood to adulthood, how many girls had wanted to throw themselves at him.
Yet no one had ever succeeded.
Of course, there had once been an accident, but that accident was also due to family reasons.
In the end, he personally snuffed it out.
Over all these years, even when they attended University in different states in the United States, they knew each other’s situations like the back of their hands, and they all knew Cheng Jin’s situation.
Jiang Min’an had even said that his condition should be called workaholic paranoia.
He was overly devoted to work, persistent to the point of near obsession, completely immersed in work, so much so that he had no interest in others, and of course even less interest in men.
Jiang Min’an suddenly turned from shock to laughter.
“After all these years, finally someone can control you.”
Liu Bozhou nodded. “I suddenly really want to meet this person too. What charm made you suddenly get married?”
“Wait, how long were you two dating before?” Liu Bozhou seemed to realize something.
After all, if something like marriage could still be concealed.
Dating is something that should be completely impossible to hide.
