Yi Jin and Shen Yang's wedding was finally scheduled to be held in early July, and the location was unexpectedly set at Yueyi. Cheng Kou was filled with emotion after receiving the notice. It seemed that Yi Jin had also spent a lot of money to marry the goddess.
Su Yan said nothing after hearing this, and he did not plan to tell Cheng Kou that Yi Jin secretly used Shen Yang's cell phone to call him several times, trying to get some discounts from him openly or secretly.
After all, he and Shen Yang are classmates, and Yi Jin is also the vice-monitor of Cheng Kou's class, so he can approve the discount.
But when did he give Shen Yang his phone number? This was the only question he couldn't figure out the answer to.
It was just a work number, so he didn't mind it. There were too many classmates who tried to benefit from him in various ways over the years, and he tried his best to help them, but sometimes he would feel annoyed.
Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled the day of their reunion, when Cheng Kou interviewed him. He didn't even ask for his work number and planned to contact Shen Ru for everything.
Or he asked Shen Ru to slip her a business card, but Shen Ru thought it was just a special favor to an old classmate and didn't notice that it was his personal number.
Then when he went to Nanshan to complete the interview, he called Shen Ru and asked for Cheng Kou's number.
In fact, they seldom contact each other by phone, and he seldom looks at his phone, but just like he replied to Cheng Kou's text message late at night last time, in his free time, he would also patiently type out word by word what he wanted to say to her.
He arrived very late at Yi Jin and Shen Yang's wedding banquet. He was very busy that day and had no time to rest from morning to night. When he finally got off work, it was very close to the time for the banquet to start.
Because he might not be able to make it in time, he had already given the gift money to Cheng Kou.
Afraid that Cheng Kou's help in paying the betrothal gift would cause an uproar, he also asked her to ask Xia Linchen to come, which was very thoughtful.
He asked Assistant Fang to take a taxi home. He sat in the car alone for a while, but finally decided to attend the wedding banquet.
He didn't think too much at the time, he just thought that this way he could take Cheng Kou home. And when he saw Xia Linchen sitting next to Cheng Kou in the banquet hall and laughing happily, he realized that he was really busy and confused.
Cheng Kou saw Su Yan's slightly pale face from afar, and his hand paused as he was clinking glasses with others.
Many classmates think that Su Yan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has had a smooth life. But who has seen the pressure he has to bear with the halo of the Su family
Su Yan was undoubtedly diligent. Cheng Kou would sometimes spend the time from dusk to bedtime next door. Most of the time, Su Yan worked in the study. A few times, she saw him talking to a notebook, probably in a video conference.
He didn't have much time to accompany her, so she could only curl up on the sofa and watch DVDs. Sometimes when he was done, he would come over and hug her with an apologetic look on his face.
She told him that her requirements were not high. She could see the light on in the study and he could hear some movie clips. It was enough for the two of them to support each other.
"Boss, where is my Fang Yi?" Su Yan just approached the table of Class 9 when he heard Mi Lan ask him. Only then did he realize the second mistake he made tonight. He forgot that Mi Lan would also come to the wedding banquet today. He asked Fang Yi to go home, and he would drive to pick up Mi Lan in an hour or two.
"Mr. Su, you are a busy man, you are late."
"Fifth Master, we thought you wouldn't come today."
During the few seconds he was distracted, several people spoke to him.
Su Yan frowned subconsciously. Being called "Little President Su" or "Fifth Young Master Su" would not make him happier than Cheng Kou's sweet "Su Yan".
However, that was indeed the name given to him, and no matter how much he disliked it, he had to endure it.
It had been more than a month since Mi Lan's wedding, and everyone hadn't seen each other, so they drank like crazy when they saw each other. Su Yan came late, so he naturally became the one they forced to drink.
As they were drinking, Cheng Kou saw them out of the corner of his eye and felt his heart tremble with fear.
But Su Yan remained calm, chatting and laughing, and accepted all the toasts.
When the show was over, some people stayed to tease the bride and groom, while the rest went to the second stall in groups of two or three, and some prepared to go home directly.
Su Yan stood at the door of Yueyi. The cold wind at night made him more awake and his head hurt more. He raised his hand to rub his temple. Someone next to him was persuading him to go karaoke together.
The people from both classes were blocking the door, many of them were talking and making a lot of noise, and someone bumped into Su Yan in the chaos. He was standing on the edge of the stairs, and he staggered forward and slipped down a step. An arm behind him held him firmly.
Su Yan looked over and found that the person who helped him was Xia Linchen, so he nodded to thank him.
Xia Linchen followed him down the stairs and stood on flat ground. Without asking for his opinion, he directly rejected those people's invitations on his behalf.
"Su Yan and I live close to each other, so I'll take him home on the way."
Everyone suddenly remembered that Xia Linchen also helped to give Su Yan's gift money, and then they realized that they didn't know when they had such a close relationship. In high school, they seemed to be incompatible because of the basketball game.
Su Yan nodded indifferently, and he and Xia Linchen went to the parking lot one after another.
"You've been drinking. Take my car back." Xia Linchen hesitated. "Park your car here first and come back to pick it up tomorrow?"
Seeing Su Yan nod in agreement, Xia Linchen continued, "I asked Cheng Kou to come over first. There were so many people talking just now, and it would be bad to expose your relationship."
"You're thoughtful." Su Yan opened the car door and got into the back seat. Cheng Kou had been waiting here for a long time, and he came over to support him, his concern evident in his words.
Su Yan grabbed her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm not drunk."
As they were all people who drank alcohol all year round, he knew how much he could drink, probably only six or seven bottles of beer, far from enough to make him drunk. But he didn't want to tell Cheng Kou about it. He hadn't eaten much since morning, and when he got to Yi Jin's place, his classmates poured him wine without saying a word, which made his stomach even more uncomfortable.
It is better to have less trouble than more. There is no need to tell Cheng Kou about this matter and make her worry.
The three of them returned to Yuren Garden and took the elevator from the underground garage to the seventh floor. Cheng Kou was worried about Su Yan, so she told Xia Linchen that she would not go home yet.
Xia Linchen understood, opened the door, took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He deliberately didn't drink, using the excuse that he was driving, but he could still smell alcohol. But he wasn't a person with a strong obsession with cleanliness, so he simply took a shower, wiped his hair, and sat on the edge of the bed. He was a little lazy, and his hands moved slowly, and crystal clear water droplets kept dripping from his hair, sliding down his naked back and finally disappearing.
Xia Linchen didn't care. He scratched his hair irritably, thinking about what he heard today.
When Su Yan entered the house, the first thing he did was to take a shower. Cheng Kou followed him and went into the kitchen, where he took out some green vegetables from the refrigerator, scooped some rice from the rice bag, and cooked some vegetable porridge on the stove.
While waiting, she wondered if Su Yan would still remember to give her hot milk. After thinking for a while, she picked up a spoon and stirred the pot a few times, then covered it with a lid and heated it over low heat.
She turned around, opened the refrigerator, took out the milk, poured it into a cup, and put it in the microwave to heat it up.
After finishing all this, she leaned against the sink and waited, feeling a little awkward.
Su Yan always talked about bad things lightly. But even so, she could see that he was not feeling well.
Cheng Kou somewhat regretted asking Su Yan not to disclose the matter to his classmates and colleagues for the time being. She only thought about not having to face everyone's strange looks, but forgot that there were such things as today in her life.
When he was forced to drink, she couldn't go over and act like a spoiled child to ask him not to drink. When he was feeling bad, she couldn't take care of him openly.
It shouldn't have been like this, there was nothing shameful about their relationship, but now it was being done secretly.
She kind of hated herself for being like this.
Su Yan took a longer bath than usual tonight. When he came out, Cheng Kou was already sitting at the dining table drinking milk. She drank it habitually, one sip at a time, like a little animal.
Su Yan sat next to her. The cooked rice served with green leaves looked very appetizing and soothed his tortured stomach.
Su Yan scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The rice aroma was everywhere and the taste of the vegetables was also very good.
Since they have been together, they rarely cook for themselves. They either eat out or order takeout.
Obviously, the meals cooked by his parents were delicious, but their cooking skills were really average. Once, Cheng Kou almost cut her hand while cooking, and Su Yan never let her touch the knife again.
But the porridge cooked by both of them was delicious.
Perhaps he was really hungry, Su Yan ate very quickly and finished everything.
He pushed the bowl aside and said sternly, "Koubao, don't blame yourself."
There was a rare hint of arrogance and strength in his tone. Cheng Kou was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Yan added: "It was a decision made by both of us not to make it public. There is no reason for you to take all the responsibility on yourself."
Cheng Kou pursed his lips and said, "Su Yan, I regret it."
"Me too." Su Yan patted her head, "But it doesn't matter, we can correct this mistake."
Cheng Kou bit her lip and replied, "Okay."
"Is it just a small matter? Is it necessary to cry about it?" Su Yan tapped the table with his fingers and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Cheng Kou touched his nose awkwardly and said depressedly: "You figured it out..."
Su Yan snorted from his nose and frowned slightly: "Koubao, don't cry where I can't see."
This was the second request he made tonight, and Cheng Kou still agreed.
She gradually understood what he meant. No two people can have smooth sailing when they are together. This is a road full of flowers and thorns. The happier you are, the more hardships you will encounter. In the future, they will encounter various problems. As long as they have a mutual understanding, there will be no road that they cannot go on.
Falling in love is luck, but love is a business.
