The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

“Gu Jingyan! How dare you push me!” Lu Beichen shouted and stood up.

Gu Jingyan had already turned her head and walked out.

By this time, Fu Chenxi had already come in. At once, she saw Gu Jingyan walk out with a dark expression on her face.

Meanwhile, inside, Lu Beichen had just crawled up from the ground and cut a sorry figure.

What had happened between them again?

Fu Chenxi frantically went in. “What happened, Beichen?”

She wanted to help Lu Beichen up. When she saw the strawberries strewn on the floor, she even wanted to pick them up. “Why have they all fallen onto the ground?”

However, just when she had reached out her hand, Lu Beichen had already stepped on them. “Why are you picking them up? It’s all rubbish.”

Fu Chenxi was in a daze. She felt that he seemed to be extremely angry.

Just like that, Gu Jingyan had another argument with Lu Beichen.

After school, they did not leave together. She walked out alone.

At this moment, someone caught up to her from behind.

“Gu Jingyan,” he called out and cheerfully came to Gu Jingyan’s side.

It was Ceng Kai.

Gu Jingyan asked, “Oh, are you going home?”

“Yes.” Ceng Kai smiled and said, “Did the strawberries taste good?”

When she thought of the strawberries, her face darkened and her stomach was still filled with anger towards Lu Beichen.

She smiled at Ceng Kai apologetically. “Delicious.”

Hearing this, Ceng Kai smiled happily. “Really? As long as you like them.”

Ceng Kai walked straight ahead and saw that his family’s car had arrived outside. “Let me send you home.”

She did not know how many times he had said this. But Gu Jingyan really could not go back with him.

She said, “Well… No, I’ll go myself…”

Ceng Kai looked at her and his eyes turned dull.

“Gu Jingyan.” He said in a low voice, “Do you hate me?”

Gu Jingyan paused. “Of course not…”

Ceng Kai asked, “Are you a bit annoyed that I keep looking for you?”

“No… No… Of course not.”

“Then, why do you seem to be avoiding me all the time? If you find me irritating, you can tell me. I mean it… I don’t want to irritate you. I just want to be friends with you…”

As he spoke, his face even turned red. He looked down, his expression speaking for itself.

Gu Jingyan looked at him and did not know what to say for a moment.

She felt that Ceng Kai was a pretty good person. If he genuinely wanted to be just friends, of course, they could be. But judging from his current behavior, it did not seem that he actually wanted to be friends.

Gu Jingyan did not want to hurt him. She sighed briefly at him and said, “Ceng Kai, I know that you’re very good to me. You’re a very nice person too. But… right now, my academics are really more important to me now. We’re still students. We should focus on studying properly, right?”

Ceng Kai’s face turned even redder. “I never thought about anything else either. I would be very satisfied with just being good friends with you.”

Gu Jingyan nodded. “In that case, let’s just be friends. Of course we can be friends.”

“Hn. Thank you. I’m very glad that you don’t hate me.”

“How could I hate you?” Gu Jingyan smiled and said.

The two of them walked out. Gu Jingyan still did not take his car, but after confessing, Ceng Kai felt quite happy inside. He waved at her and told her to be careful.

Afterward, Ceng Kai would come and deliver things to Gu Jingyan for no reason. He would help her hold this and hold that with extreme enthusiasm.

The school was going to conduct the final exams soon. Everyone was very serious about it. Gu Jingyan did not have much energy to deal with other things. Elite schools were a little strict, especially when it came to exams. Everyone was extremely hardworking. Of course, excluding people like Lu Beichen.

They continued to loiter around as if they would never study.

Ever since Gu Jingyan had argued with him, she could not be bothered with him. Even if they went out together, she only spoke to Old Xu and the others. Although she continued to meet him, they pretended not to know each other.

Fortunately, all of them were already used to this. They ignored the cold war between the two of them and continued eating and drinking together when they had to.

But these two people here seemed as if they were actually bringing this cold war to their graves. Neither spoke a single sentence to the other.

Everyone was very impressed by them, wondering how they could actually resist speaking to each other.

On this day, Old Xu wanted to treat them to a meal. He invited everyone to an outdoor barbecue party that he had organized elsewhere.

Of course, Gu Jingyan was going as well.

However, at the entrance, she bumped into Ceng Kai. Ceng Kai asked, “Where are you going?”

Gu Jingyan said, “Oh, Old Xu is organizing a gathering. I’m headed there.”

“Oh, is that so? You guys have so many random activities.”

Gu Jingyan said, “Yes. He likes crowds. How about you? Where are you off to?”

“I’m going home. I don’t have much to do.” He looked at Gu Jingyan enviously. “You guys are so lucky. Your friendship is so good.”

Gu Jingyan asked, “Don’t you have your group of friends too?”

“No way. They’re just very ordinary friends, not like you guys. You’re so close and do everything together.”

Seeing that he sounded so pitiful, Gu Jingyan thought about asking him to come along.

But at the same time, she felt that Lu Beichen did not seem to like him very much.

However, on second thought, the fact that he did not like him had nothing to do with her.

Why did she have to care that he did not like him? Hmph.

Gu Jingyan asked, “Why don’t you come with me? Anyway, you have nothing to do if you go home.”

Ceng Kai spoke in pleasant surprise, “Really?”

“Of course. It’s nothing anyway. Quite a few people are going.”

Ceng Kai felt that anything he could do together with Gu Jingyan was a good thing.

He immediately nodded happily in agreement.

They had to choose a good location to hold an outdoor barbecue at this time.

After all, the weather had started turning cold and everyone did not want to freeze outside.

Of course, these wealthy young masters did not have to worry. They were particularly good at having fun and were able to find any place they needed.

On an empty piece of land on the leeside, a large bonfire was burning in the center.

From afar, they saw luxury cars parked in the distance.

Gu Jingyan got out of the car and saw Old Xu and Little Q barbecuing. Fu Chenxi and Lu Beichen were sitting at the side. There were also a few random people, some of whom she knew and some of whom she did not know.

“Hey, hey. Jingyan. You’re here. Quick, come over.”

Old Xu called out when he saw her.

Lu Beichen glanced at her and lazily turned his head away.

However, Old Xu suddenly asked, “Eh. Who did Jingyan bring with her?”

Lu Beichen looked over in surprise.

Behind her, Ceng Kai had come along with her.

Lu Beichen’s gaze deepened and he instinctively sat up straight.

Gu Jingyan made her way over and gestured for Ceng Kai to follow her too.

“Hey, I brought a friend with me. All of you probably know him.”

Old Xu said, “Oh, I know him. I know him. Welcome, welcome. Come over.”

Even if he was not familiar with him, he definitely knew him. After all, he had been lumped together with Gu Jingyan, so the entire school knew about him.

Little Q looked at the two of them with a suggestive expression, obviously wanting to ask why she had brought him here and if there was something going on between them.

Gu Jingyan sensed his gaze and immediately glared at him, warning him to stop speculating.

But Fu Chenxi bluntly said, “Wow. Jingyan. You brought him here… are you together?”

Gu Jingyan looked at him. “What?”
