Wen Yuan was thin-skinned and said "um" in embarrassment, "Mr. Song, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Thank you. But don't be so rude, just call me Gwanghae."

Song Guanghai walked in with the two of them, and when they got to the box, he pushed the door and smiled, "Jin Ran, they were all very busy, but when I heard that you were coming, my dear, all these people are free. You Look-"

As soon as Qi Jinran walked in, her footsteps paused slightly.

Ning Shu sat there by the window, staring at him without blinking.

"Jin Ran, why didn't you leave?"

Wen Yuan followed Qi Jin, and was blocked by his back, so he had no idea what was going on.

Seeing that Qi Jinran's expression was wrong, Song Guanghai clicked his tongue in his heart. Everyone in their circles knew that Ning Shu was Qi Jinran's predecessor. He didn't want to invite Ning Shu at first, but he didn't expect the latter to come uninvited, so he couldn't refuse. He felt that it had been three years, and Ningshu shouldn't be able to make any waves, so he let him come.

"Jin Ran, sit down." Song Guanghai said with a smirk.

Qi Jinran glanced at Song Guanghai. After all, it was someone else's birthday party, so he didn't like to show his face. He said "um" coldly, and took Wen Yuan to the banquet.

Ning Shu was overjoyed when he saw Qi Jinran appear, but the next moment, when he saw Wen Yuan behind him, the smile immediately froze on his beautiful face.

Fa Xiao Gao Mu poked his arm from the side.

"Xiaoshu, calm down, this is Song Ershao's birthday party, don't make it too ugly."

"I know."

The corner of Ning Shu's mouth twitched, and he clenched the chopsticks on the table.

"He brought people here on purpose, didn't he just want to make me angry? This shows that he still cares about me in his heart."

Gao Mu didn't know how to persuade him, so he sighed lightly.

After Wen Yuan sat down on the seat, he found that there was a line of sight looking at him diagonally. Of course he knew that it was Ning Shu, and although he felt a little aggrieved, he still let him look at it generously.

"Jin Ran, this is the first time I've seen you bring your sister-in-law out." Someone teased at the table.

"How old is my sister-in-law? I heard that she is still in college?"

Song Guanghai cut off, Qi Jinran was able to come to his birthday party, his face was bright, and he would naturally help Wen Yuan to speak.

"It's just because you took my luck that you were fortunate enough to meet my sister-in-law. Don't ask blindly here, be careful to frighten my sister-in-law."

Wen Yuan smiled and said calmly, "I am indeed studying in college, and I am a junior this year."

"Does my sister-in-law plan to go directly to the Qi family after graduation? Or take over the family's company?" someone asked.

Wen Yuan shook his head.

"None of them, I'm learning to bake and may become a pastry chef in the future."

Someone chuckled, with a hint of contempt.

Wen Yuan looked over and found that it was a young man with dyed red hair sitting next to Ning Shu.

"Dessert chef? Isn't that the waiter in the bakery, who makes things for others to eat and serve others?" The young man's tone was disdainful.

Hearing this, Qi Jinran frowned slightly, and there was obvious displeasure in his eyes.

Song Guanghai sat next to him, observing his expression all the time, seeing him frowning, he quickly said to the speaker, "Gao Mu, what are you talking about, kid? Do you know how high the annual salaries of those Michelin chefs are? Do you want to eat other people's meals? I can't eat it!"

Someone else joined.

"Yeah, Gao Mu, no matter what my sister-in-law said, she graduated from T University. Even if you change careers later, why can't you do it? You, who paid for a diploma, are too embarrassed to point at others?"

Gao Mu looked over and found that the person who satirized him was the young master of the Gu family who had just asked Wen Yuan about his future plans. He and the young master of the Gu family had never dealt with each other since they were young, and that person was pressing him everywhere in terms of ability and knowledge. He was furious. But was also stabbed speechless.

"Gaomu, forget it." Ning Shu tugged at his sleeve, "You told me to calm down, why did I get impulsive instead?"

"I just can't stand the way they are courting Wen Yuan one by one. If you are sitting next to Qi Jinran today..." He noticed that Ning Shu's face changed, and quickly took back the rest of the words.

Ning Shu smiled reluctantly, his hand on his knee clenched into a fist.

Don't worry, he secretly told himself that he came prepared today, how could he be affected by a few words from unrelated people?

He stood up with the glass in his hand, a soft smile on his face.

"Jin Ran, speaking of it, it's been a few days since I returned to China. It's the first time we've sat together for dinner. We haven't seen you for so long. Let's have a drink, okay?"

Almost everyone at the table knew that Ning Shu and Qi Jinran had been together, and when they saw him stand up, they all showed the look of watching a good show.

Qi Jinran sat on the main seat, motionless, only glanced at Ning Shu lightly.

"I want to drive and can't drink, sorry."

Young Master Gu couldn't help laughing. No one in the house has two or three drivers to pick them up, let alone Qi Jinran. He said that because he didn't want to drink with Ning Shu.

Seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant, and Song Guanghai was having a headache on how to break the deadlock, Wen Yuan stood up with a wine glass.

"Jin Ran's body is not suitable for drinking, I'll accompany you to drink."

Wen Yuan poured himself half a glass of red wine, raised the glass, and looked at Ning Shu with a smile.

"You are Jin Ran's friend, that is, my friend. You came back from France all the way. We should have cleaned you up. It was because of our poor reception. I will give you this glass of wine first."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass.

Song Guanghai stared at Wen Yuan as he drank the wine in his glass neatly.

Wen Yuan didn't say much since he came in, just sat quietly beside Qi Jinran, and he would only answer when others asked. He thought that Wen Yuan was a weak and timid character, but he didn't expect his words to be unmistakable and natural, but instead he seemed to be narrow-minded.

Gu Dashao, who was diagonally opposite, had a smile of approval on his face, wishing he could applaud Wen Yuan on the spot.

Ning Shu was holding the glass, only to feel that his cheek was slapped on the face by an invisible hand, and it hurt hotly. He gritted his teeth, drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, and sat down slumped.

Song Guanghai saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, and hurriedly asked someone to serve the food. He was afraid of Ning Shu's troubles again, so he took the lead in telling a bad joke.

"Eat vegetables."

Qi Jinran stared at Wen Yuan with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. This guy knows that drinking on an empty stomach is not good for his health, so why does he want to drink for him?

"Are you angry?" Wen Yuan whispered, and he lowered his eyelashes, "I see Ning Shu standing there with a cup in his head, it's embarrassing, so—"

"That's none of your business."

Qi Jinran took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his bowl.

"Next time, don't always think about others, think more about yourself."

"Yeah." Wen Yuan was eating the spare ribs he gave him, only to feel that the sweet taste seemed to spread from his throat to his heart.

When Ning Shu first appeared, he was afraid that Qi Jinran would be shaken, but Qi Jinran proved with actions time and time again that he and Ning Shu were already in the past tense, so he had nothing to worry about. Anyway, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the soil, so he is still afraid that Ning Shu will not succeed?

After eating, the group went to the box upstairs to sing and play cards. Qi Jinran was not very interested in this kind of occasion, but because of Song Guanghai's face, he reluctantly played a few games with them.

Halfway through the game, he suddenly found that Wen Yuan, who was sitting beside him, had disappeared, and Junxiu's brows suddenly wrinkled.

"You guys play first, I'll go out." He had a bad premonition, afraid that Wen Yuan would run into Ning Shu.

"Jin Ran, don't, this game isn't over yet." Gu Dashao begged.

Qi Jinran had a sullen face, and gave the card in his hand to the waiter who was serving the tea.

"You come to fight, and if you lose, you will pay my bills."

Ignoring the shocked look of the waiter, Qi Jinran stood up and walked out of the box door quickly.

at this time.

in the corridor.

As soon as Wen Yuan left the bathroom, he ran into Ning Shu. The latter seemed to have been waiting for him outside.

"What a coincidence, every time I see you, it's in the bathroom." Ning Shu hugged his arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at him lukewarm.

Wen Yuan knew that he would have to talk to Ning Shu alone. There were a lot of people in the box, so it was clean and it was a suitable place.

"You're waiting for me here, do you have something to say?" Wen Yuan looked calm.

Ning Shu sneered, "As expected, he's a big T, and his brain is quite smart."

Wen Yuan laughed noncommittally.

Ning Shu twitched the corners of his mouth and stared at him with complicated eyes.

"If it wasn't for knowing that you and Qi Jinran signed a prenuptial agreement, I almost thought you were really a loving couple."

Hearing Ning Shu's words, Wen Yuan's body froze. How did Ning Shu know that he had signed a prenuptial agreement with Qi Jinran?

Seeing Wen Yuan's expression strange, Ning Shu knew that he had poked his scar. He sneered, staring at Wen Yuan with black eyes, and said coolly, "Didn't you just stay with Qi Jinran because of money? Why pretend to be considerate? You think Qi Jinran can really like—"

"To shut up!"

An angry voice sounded behind him.

Qi Jinran strode over and stood in front of Wen Yuan, her handsome eyebrows seemed to be covered with frost.

"Ningshu, no matter what the reason for me and Wen Yuan being together, he is now my legal partner. And you—" His voice became colder and even more threatening.

"It's just a stranger to me. For the sake of the Ning family's friendship with the Qi family, I don't want to embarrass you, so don't force me."

"Stranger?" These three words shocked Ning Shu, her delicate face turned pale, and she took a step back in disbelief.

Before returning to China, he thought about it, even if Qi Jinran hated him or complained about him, he could accept it, and he was mentally prepared. But only Qi Jinran treated him as a stranger, which was the most unacceptable to him. Because this means that he has no weight in Qi Jinran's heart!

Seeing Qi Jinran holding Wen Yuan's shoulder tightly and looking at him with alert eyes, he suddenly began to wonder what the point of returning to China was.

He just said a few words to Wen Yuan, and Qi Jinran's reaction was so big. If he really did something to Wen Yuan, wouldn't Qi Jinran turn against him?

Even if it was a commercial marriage, he played too much.

"Jin Ran, is that what you think of me now? It was me who was wrong in the past. I apologize to you, but I was too young and ignorant back then—"

"You don't need to say it." Qi Jinran interrupted him with a displeased expression, "I was tired of hearing these words three years ago. Ning Shu, you should turn your head and look at the person behind you, instead of wasting time on nothing. Meaningful remorse for the past."

The people behind... Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, and the phone in his pocket rang at the right time. It was Luo Haozin's call.

His face was pale and pale, and it was really not good-looking.

"Let's go." Qi Jinran took Wen Yuan's hand and led him out of the corridor.

Wen Yuan never thought that Qi Jinran would appear in such a timely manner. He wanted to say something to Ning Shu, but he didn't find a chance!

Qi Jinran took Wen Yuan back to the box.

When everyone saw the two holding hands, they all sighed and even whistled.

"Jin Ran, aren't you? You can't stand seeing your wife for a few minutes?" Master Gu teased.

"What do you know! The newlyweds must be in the mix, not like us single dogs!" Song Guanghai also laughed.

Everyone started to chime in, and Wen Yuan blushed at what they said, so he quickly let Qi Jinran let go.

"Sit here, don't run around." Qi Jinran sat down at the card table again.

"Well, I know." Wen Yuan obediently beside him.

While Qi Jinran was playing cards with them, Wen Yuan sent a message to his dad.

In fact, Ning Shu was right in what he said just now. If the Qi family hadn't been able to help their family through the difficulties, he would not have agreed to marry Qi Jinran. In the eyes of outsiders, it is natural that their family is a snob, and the Qi family clings only for money...

—Dad, will you pay back the funds that Qi’s family lent to the family to work around?

In fact, he wanted to ask his father about this before, but he never found the right opportunity. Ning Shu said this today, but I remembered it.

A few minutes later, he received a reply from Wen Chengmin:

- What are you thinking, since it is borrowed, of course you have to pay it back. Now the company's benefits are good, and it should be able to repay the money in about a year. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? who told you?

Wen Yuan: It's nothing, I just thought of this thing suddenly, and I was a little curious, so I just asked.

Turning off the phone, Wen Yuan was calm.

Fortunately, his dad thinks the same as he does, and doesn't like to owe others things.

"Sister-in-law, there is fruit on the coffee table, let's eat it." Song Guanghai couldn't help saying seeing that he had been sitting still.

Wen Yuan smiled at him, and went to the coffee table to get a fruit plate. He didn't eat it himself, but handed it to Qi Jinran.

"Want to eat fruit?"

Qi Jinran was drawing cards, and he had no time in his hand. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the pitaya flesh cut into cubes in the fruit bowl. Wen Yuan understood it, forked a piece of dragon fruit with a fork, and handed it to his mouth. Qi Jinran opened his mouth slightly and bit the piece of fruit in one bite.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Song Guanghai looked at this scene, sour. The sister-in-law is too virtuous. When will he marry such a wife?

Until the end of their poker game, Ning Shu never returned to the box. Gao Mu sat in the corner, no one paid any attention to him, he was bored alone, and left soon after.

After dinner, Song Guanghai sent Qi Jinran and Wen Yuan to the car with apologetic expressions on his face.

"Jin Ran, I'm really sorry today, I didn't arrange it well, I shouldn't have let Ning Shu in."

"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." Qi Jinran frowned slightly. If it wasn't for Song Guanghai's birthday today, he might have left with Wen Yuan on the spot.

"Absolutely not! How dare I!"

Song Guanghai was also very remorseful, but fortunately, Ning Shu didn't make any waves today. No matter how powerful the Ning family was and how famous Ning Shu was, he wouldn't dare to let this big Buddha in in the future. After all, he would rather be hated by Ning Shu, I don't want to have a grudge against Qi Jinran.

Back at Shuixieju, Wen Yuan went directly into his bedroom.

On the way back, Qi Jinran found that Wen Yuan was unusually silent. When he was worried that Ning Shu's appearance was bothering Wen Yuan, the boy walked out of the bedroom with a document in his hand.

"Jin Ran, let's talk about the prenuptial agreement."

Qi Jinran's face changed slightly.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have met Ning Shu's...

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Qi Jinran stared at Wen Yuan's face, a little uneasy and uneasy in her chest.

"I just looked it up, and at the end it says that if I get divorced in a year, I will get 500 million worth of real estate, right?"

Qi Jinran looked at the divorce agreement in Wen Yuan's hand with an extremely stiff expression.

When he drafted this divorce agreement, he just had a coping attitude and filled in a random number on the division of property. Anyway, he would get divorced after a year, and he didn't care. But how did he know that he would be tempted by Wen Yuan later.

Now that Wen Yuan has turned out this agreement, it is no different from gouging out his heart.

"Are you going to divorce me?" Qi Jinran said hoarsely.

Wen Yuan shook his head.

"No, I mean, if we get divorced someday, I don't want any of your property, okay?" Wen Yuan looked very serious.

Originally, Qi Jinran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first two words, but when he heard the latter, his relaxed brows wrinkled unconsciously.

Of course he won't divorce Wen Yuan, but they are now partners, and half of his property naturally belongs to Wen Yuan. Why does Wen Yuan want to separate him so clearly?

Could it be because of what Ning Shu said?

Qi Jinran thought quickly for a few seconds. He looked at Wen Yuan and whispered, "There's something I forgot to tell you."

"This divorce agreement is not notarized, so it is equivalent to several pieces of waste paper."

Wen Yuan: !

Qi Jinran took the agreement from him, tore it up two or three times, and threw it into the trash can next to it.

"We are legal partners now, and your rights are given to you by the law, not me. As long as we don't divorce, my property is your property, and you don't need to worry about it."

Wen Yuan:…

He felt like a big fool.

Since there is no notarization, what agreement did he ask him to sign in the first place? Is it fun to play him like a fool?

He's going to be pissed!
