"Oh, Li Yan, please forgive me. How many glasses have you toasted me with?" Fang Zhicheng felt a surge of heat rising up, but he still remained rational.
Zhu Youming said hurriedly, "Zhicheng, you can refuse other people's drinks, but you can't refuse Li Yan's, because you didn't understand romance at the beginning and made a mistake."
"Forget it!" Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, drank the wine in the glass, turned around and ran to the bathroom.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng's embarrassed look, Zhu Youming said happily: "Okay, beautiful Li Yan, please stop. I know Zhicheng's alcohol tolerance. He has already drunk too much today. If you force him to drink more, I'm afraid someone will die."
Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "For the groom's sake, I will let him go. Otherwise, I will force him to make a fool of himself in public."
Zhu Youming sighed, "Zhicheng's words are absolutely right. Women's hearts are as deep as the sea. Your calm appearance can easily make people relax their vigilance. Fang Zhicheng is such a cunning man, but didn't he fall into your trap in the end?"
Fang Zhicheng was a man who had been through a lot. Although he could not drink much, he knew his critical point. Seeing that the situation was not good, he came out of the bathroom and did not go to the dining table. He sat on the sofa in the hall, lit a cigarette, and smoked quietly.
Everyone was waiting for Fang Zhicheng to come back in the box. Zhu Youming saw something was wrong and said to Li Yan with a smile, "Fang Zhicheng was afraid of you today, so he ran away to pee. The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. How about the beautiful Li go look for him herself?"
Li Yan's cheeks flushed. She had drunk a lot today. She spat, "There are differences between men and women. He went to the bathroom. How can I find him?"
Zhu Youming waved his hand and said, "At this time, he must have come out. I guess he is hiding there to rest."
Li Yan showed a look of disbelief, but was still a little worried about Fang Zhicheng, so she walked out of the box and looked around for a while. Finally, she saw Fang Zhicheng resting with his eyes closed in the hall. She walked over quickly and gently lifted Fang Zhicheng with her toes.
Fang Zhicheng was awakened, and when he saw that it was Li Yan, he smiled and said, "So it's you."
Li Yan stared with her beautiful big eyes, and said with a half-smile: "You are not really afraid of me, are you?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today is Zhu Youming and Wang Meijia's wedding. They should be the protagonists. If I continue to drink, I am afraid I will become the protagonist. So I know the time and step down early to leave the stage to them."
Li Yan sighed, "The excuse you gave yourself is reasonable. However, Zhu Youming arranged for me to invite you up, so are you going back or not?"
Fang Zhicheng tilted his face and looked at Li Yan for a while, until her cheeks turned red, and said with a smile: "Let's not go upstairs, let's sit here and chat."
Li Yan was quite straightforward and sat down naturally next to Fang Zhicheng. The two talked about their life after graduation. Of course, Li Yan was talking more and Fang Zhicheng was listening more.
In fact, there is no special skill in communication. The key is how to be a good listener. Individuals take themselves as the masters of the world by default, but they don't know that they are just a supporting role in other people's lives. When you listen willingly and let others become the protagonist, then the other party will identify with you subconsciously.
Fang Zhicheng is a good listener, which is why he can gain the favor of others in a short period of time.
Li Yan's life is wonderful but ordinary, and ordinary but also special. Her husband is 20 years older than her and is a successful real estate developer. Being older, he is more caring, so Li Yan's life can be said to be what countless women yearn for, with no worries about food and clothing, and she can enjoy a life that many ordinary people cannot have.
However, every family has its own problems. Because of the huge age difference, Li Yan and her husband rarely communicated. Li Yan once took the initiative to communicate with her husband, but her husband always used various excuses to avoid communicating with her. Her husband's daily life almost revolved around business, and he often traveled around, so Li Yan and her husband became increasingly distant.
Fang Zhicheng listened to Li Yan's complaints and said with a wry smile: "In fact, your life is already good enough. Many people envy your current life."
Li Yan sighed: "Yes, in the eyes of others, I am a person who does not know how to appreciate the blessings he has."
Fang Zhicheng showed a hint of doubt in his eyes, knowing that Li Yan must have other things hidden in her heart, so he did not continue to ask. After all, they were just college classmates, and apart from an ambiguous unrequited love relationship, they did not have much in common. More importantly, if it were not for Zhu Youming's wedding, he and she would probably never meet in their entire life.
The two chatted casually, and Li Yan received a call from her husband. After hanging up the phone, Li Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "He was a little strange today. He actually wanted to pick me up."
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "Your husband does care about you."
Li Yanyou sighed: "He must be worried about me."
Fang Zhicheng was a little speechless and didn't respond. At this time, Zhu Youming and others had finished the dinner and came out of the box. Zhu Youming laughed and scolded: "I knew that Li Yan would never come back. She must have been abducted by Zhicheng."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Am I so easily deceived? Can't you allow me to abduct Zhicheng?"
Zhu Youming gave a thumbs up and said, "Ms. Li is really bold. Kidnapping a public servant is no small crime."
Wang Meijia spat in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, don't bully my Li Yan."
After leaving the hotel, a black Audi A8 slowly drove up. Li Yan waved goodbye to the others and sat in the back seat. Zhu Youming whispered to Fang Zhicheng and asked with a smile, "How was your conversation with the married woman Li?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, and said unhappily: "Don't think too much about it. We are no longer in school. We have gone our separate ways. Everyone has their own life. Not disturbing you is the greatest blessing."
Zhu Youming chuckled and said, "You may not have any idea, but Li Yan seems to be very interested in you. Today at the dinner table, her eyes never left you. I think she still has feelings for you. So what if she marries a boss? The boss can give her enough money, but can he give her spiritual and physical comfort?"
Fang Zhicheng glared at Zhu Youming and cursed in a low voice, "What a dirty idea!"
Zhu Youming shrugged and sighed, "After experiencing more, you will find that your worldview will be changed by the ruthless reality."
Fang Zhicheng flicked Zhu Youming's pot belly with his finger and said with a smile, "You're getting married soon, so stop sighing."
There was a complicated look in Zhu Youming's eyes. Fang Zhicheng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't take it to heart.
In the Audi A8, Li Yan obediently lay in Miao Yanzheng's arms and said with a smile: "Hubby, thank you for coming to pick me up in person today."
Miao Yanzheng smiled slightly and said, "It's good that you know my intention. The slightly fat man today is Meijia's husband, Zhu Youming, right?"
Li Yan hummed and said, "He is the most successful among our classmates. It is said that he has tens of millions of dollars now."
Miao Yanzheng commented gently: "At his age, it's not bad to have such a net worth, but the capital market has always been a place where the big fish eat the small fish. His assets are nothing. By the way, the man standing next to Zhu Youming looks familiar to me, who is he?"
Li Yan's heart tightened, and she felt a little guilty for some reason. She had no substantial relationship with Fang Zhicheng. Miao Yanzheng asked him why.
Chapter 0433: The Wise Move with the Flow
Li Yan understood Miao Yanzheng's character. He was a man who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. The man in his forties had experienced a lot, including three marriages, two of which were betrayals. So Miao Yanzheng was full of doubts about marriage. He did not believe that women could remain chaste, so he strictly monitored his every move.
