Please Keep Our Secret Marriage Low-key - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Having So Much Fun You Forgot Yourself, Hm?

She reached out to hold Fu Tingyuan’s hand. He tugged at her and pulled her into his embrace. Luo Nanchu snuggled against his chest as he wrapped his arm around her waist. In the night breeze, she could smell the aroma of his cologne.

“Having so much fun you forgot yourself, hm?”

“Not really.” Luo Nanchu looked up at him and smiled.

Fu Tingyuan’s gaze landed on her slightly parted lips, and he leaned down to give her a light peck. Luo Nanchu’s lips still had an astringent tobacco flavor.

“How did I not know that you smoke?”

“What do you even know about me?” Luo Nanchu smiled lightly.

Fu Tingyuan’s gaze darkened slightly.

Nearby, Xu Shuai approached and greeted Fu Tingyuan and his companion, saying, “President Fu, we’re planning to go to a bar for some drinks. Do you and Sister Luo want to come?”

Fu Tingyuan smiled mildly, the paragon of gentleness and refinement, and replied, “No. It’s late, so Chuchu and I will be going back now.”

Xu Shuai was tinned. (TLC. Not sure about this term.) He looked at Luo Nanchu, who was in Fu Tingyuan’s embrace. She had a light and flirtatious smile on her face.

However, it was not as high-spirited as before when she had just gotten out of the car.

“Sister Luo, didn’t you agree to drink with us earlier?”

“Are you dumb?” Lin Yi walked over and hooked an arm around Xu Shuai’s neck, explaining, “The couple wants to go home. Why do you care? President Fu, we’ll invite you out to drink when you’re free next time.”

He smiled and bade Fu Tingyuan goodbye. Luo Nanchu waved as well.

“Today was fun. Thanks for the reward, and see you next time,” she said.

Fu Tingyuan nodded to them before opening the car door. Luo Nanchu sat shotgun, and the two of them quickly disappeared along the dark road.

After Fu Tingyuan and company left, Lin Yi released Xu Shuai’s neck.

With a cigarette between his lips, he shot his good friend a look and asked, “Why did you invite Fu Tingyuan here today?”

“We all know each other. Also, didn’t we have a good time together in the past? Can’t he come over and have some fun?”

Lin Yi raised his hand and knocked on Xu Shuai’s head before saying, “You silly fool. That guy isn’t a good person, yet you still tried to hit on his woman right in front of him. Are you tired of living?”

Xu Shuai said nothing.

There were only a few of them in their wealthy social circle, so he had seen Fu Tingyuan a few times. He noticed that the latter was easygoing and wanted to improve their relationship, but he had not expected Fu Tingyuan’s attitude to be so chilly today.

Lin Yi took a drag on his cigarette, hooked an arm around Xu Shuai’s neck, and stated, “I’m a good judge of character. That guy doesn’t take us seriously. You shouldn’t invite trouble on yourself with him. As for that woman… you’d better behave yourself the next time you see her, and don’t think about doing anything stupid. Understand?”

Xu Shuai was indignant and snapped, “A good man should woo the lady he likes. Why shouldn’t I…”

Lin Yi slapped his friend’s head and retorted, “Woo the lady, your head! Are you not afraid that he will devour your entire company if you chase his woman?”

Xu Shuai was his good friend and a good person, but he lacked sense and brains.

Impatient with Xu Shuai’s lack of understanding, Lin Yi admonished, “You do know about his recent status in Tong City. Do you think your life is too easy? Do you want to turn it into hell?”

Fu Tingyuan had become extremely popular and influential six months ago. He had swallowed up all of Luo Juntian’s assets in Tong City and had even expanded a few businesses. He had expanded so much that it could be said that anyone with business-related matters in Tong City needed to get on his good side. He was the kind of person that entrepreneurial heirs like them could not afford to offend.
