Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the pa.s.sionate love, Lu An said he wanted to make it up to Jin Nian, and the two of them planned to go out and have fun tomorrow.
He said they were going out to play, but in reality, he was introducing Jin Nian to others while they were out having fun.
Everyone knew that Lu An was already married, but they didn’t know Jin Nian’s ident.i.ty.
Lu An had an a.s.sertive personality, and he wanted his wife to be well-known. So, while taking Jin Nian out to have fun, he also wanted others to see his wife.
When Jin Nian saw Lu An’s old, mischievous friends, her mood wasn’t as joyful as before. She didn’t express any unhappiness, just sat silently next to Lu An.
Someone asked Lu An why he was attracted to Jin Nian. Lu An smiled and replied that there were many qualities that made her worth liking.
Lu An didn’t intend to explain too much to these people. From the beginning, he had liked only her.
However, his lazy and nonchalant demeanor gave those people the impression that Lu An wasn’t very concerned about his new bride.
So, Jin Nian overheard some unpleasant comments.
“Why would Lu An be interested in that young girl? He even married her.”
“I don’t know.”
“We haven’t seen you in years, but Jin Nian has become more beautiful.”
“Maybe she’s quite enthusiastic in bed.”
“Hahahahaha!”
Before hearing these comments, Lu An had already sensed that Jin Nian was feeling a bit unhappy. He paid no attention to the discussions and took her away from that place.
Jin Nian mentioned she wanted to go to the restroom, and it was at that moment that she overheard the offensive language.
Jin Nian stood frozen in place, her face turning pale and then flushed. It reminded her of a similar situation many years ago when she had heard such discussions. Her immediate reaction was to pull Lu An away from that place.
However, Lu An’s response was to deliver a punch straight to the face of the person who had made the disrespectful comment.
Lu An was like an enraged lion, ready to pounce on his prey. “Is my wife someone you can insult?” he demanded.
Lu An didn’t particularly enjoy spending time with these people and didn’t have much contact with them.
In high school, they had been under intense academic pressure, and one time, when Lu An and Jin Nian had coincidentally run into these friends, Jin Nian had been curious and joined in their activities. Unexpectedly, she had taken a liking to their novel pastimes.
Back then, escape rooms had just started gaining popularity. As one of the early partic.i.p.ants, Jin Nian had wanted to play again after experiencing it once. She had asked Lu An when they could go again.
The second time they played an escape room, Lu An had organized it. He had played with a group of people he wasn’t very familiar with, all because Jin Nian had wanted to play.
From escape rooms to truth or dare, haunted houses, and KTV, these activities weren’t exactly unhealthy, just the kind of fresh and exciting activities most people of their age enjoyed.
Jin Nian had been happy, and Lu An’s mood had reflected hers.
But one day, Jin Nian said, “1 don’t want to play anymore. It’s pretty boring.”
Lu An had inquired about the reason, and Jin Nian had pouted. “I’m in my senior year now, and Teacher Tan advised me not to play too much and focus on studying.”
Since then, Lu An hadn’t gathered with those friends either. However, even though they didn’t meet, Lu An remained a topic of discussion among that group. This was because Lu An was undeniably handsome, had a spirited personality, and came from the most well-off background of anyone they knew.
Binhai city wasn’t large, and occasionally, they would b.u.mp into each other. Lu An’s att.i.tude towards them was neither cold nor overly enthusiastic. After all, they had all played together with Jin Nian. There were no conflicts, and there was no need to take a hostile stance.
Later on, Lu An had gone abroad and lost contact with these friends.
However, whenever he returned to his home country, these friends always managed to get wind of it and greeted him with smiles.
Lu An had no intention of creating unnecessary enemies for himself, so they never had any major falling-outs.
Today, he had been continuously invited out by people since returning home, but he wasn’t interested and had paid them no attention.
He had brought Jin Nian along because he thought she would enjoy it. Besides, ever since everyone found out about his marriage to Jin Nian, he hadn’t heard anything negative.
“I never expected Brother Lu and Jin Nian to have already tied the knot. Congratulations on your marriage!”
“Time has flown by. We used to hang out together often, but it’s been almost ten years, hasn’t it?”
“It’s been so long since I last saw Sister-in-law. When are you going to bring her out? Back then, I felt like something was off between you two, but you both kept it well hidden.”
Lu An figured Jin Nian used to enjoy hanging out with this group of people. Moreover, with the abundance of board games and various scenarios like Werewolf, more people made it more enjoyable. This group of friends was skilled at creating a lively atmosphere, and Jin Nian always had a great time.
When they first arrived, Jin Nian had been quite cheerful.
However, after entering the private room, her enthusiasm seemed to have been extinguished..
