After filing for divorce, the hidden marriage boss panicked

At two o'clock in the morning, Xiangchuan did not return to the hotel. He drove aimlessly on the streets of Beiling. After all, he was a drunkard and he went in when he saw a tavern.

He sat lazily at the table and looked at the surrounding environment. The lights were dim and intertwined, and the air was filled with a strong smell of tobacco, accompanied by bursts of rock music on the stage.

Moving his gaze to the bar, he saw a familiar figure from behind.

He walked straight to the empty seat next to her and sat down. The bartender greeted him enthusiastically and asked with a smile: "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

"Same as hers."

Xiangchuan glanced at the bright red liquid in the glass, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette and held it in the corner of his mouth, but did not light it.

He played with the mechanical lighter in his hand and leaned lazily on the bar stool.

The bartender handed him a glass of wine and went to greet other customers.

Xiangchuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. The spicy and stimulating liquid slid down his throat, with a burning sensation, which made him squint his eyes in relief.

"I didn't expect that Miss Shangguan is actually a person who dares to love and hate. I should thank you for the important evidence you provided on my brother's behalf. Otherwise, how could a scum like Xu Ziyuan end up with a fate that will make him miserable for the rest of his life?"

With the rhythmic percussion of musical instruments ringing in his ears, Shangguan Yu glanced sideways, his cold eyes sweeping over the blood-stained collar of his shirt. He picked up the wine glass with a calm expression and took a sip. The sound was like cutting ice and breaking jade, revealing the Alienation: "Mr. Xiang's words are a bit exaggerated. I like Xu Ziyuan at most, not love. What's more, I am venting my anger on my sister, so why do I need to express my gratitude to you?"

"Haha~ If you don't love him, how can you still talk about marriage with him?"

Xiangchuan curled his lips slightly in mockery, sneered lowly, raised his fingertips and lightly pressed the bar, seemingly casually.

"This is why I rejected Mr. Xiang. Not every child born in a noble family has the right to choose his own marriage."

"The Shangguan family has many rules and strict family training. We always adhere to the instructions of our parents to be a matchmaker. Since I enjoy the dignity brought by the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, I must shoulder the responsibilities and obligations brought by this status."

Even if she doesn't love Xu Ziyuan, she can have various excuses to delay the wedding, but she has no right to refuse.

Shangguan Yu has been very clear about this since the day of his coming-of-age ceremony.

She knew the prestige of the Shangguan family in the aristocratic family circle, and also understood the heavy responsibility she shouldered. Her marriage must be decided by the Shangguan family elders.

Therefore, she doesn't like people and things that have no results.

When Xiang Chuan confessed to her, Shangguan Yu refused so firmly.

Hearing this, Xiangchuan frowned slightly, and complex emotions flashed in his deep pupils. He stared at Shangguan Yu for a moment, and suddenly asked her softly: "Then have you ever had a good impression of me?" Even a little bit?”

Shangguan Yu's hand holding the wall of the cup tightened a little. His face was still calm, and his tone was also calm. She only answered in an unhurried manner: "Yes, but Mr. Xiang, you need to know that good opinion is not the same as Like, you are younger than me, and your perspective on things is different from mine, so again, we are not suitable."

Although she said it tactfully, her meaning was already clear.

She had a crush on him, but it was just a crush.

"Sure enough, the answer is pretty much what I expected."

Xiangchuan understood clearly and didn't react too sadly to her answer. Instead, he picked up the wine glass on the table and touched her glass lightly, then raised his head and drank it down.

As the alcohol entered his throat, his face flushed, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand to touch his nose, and smiled bitterly: "Shangguanyu, your reason and restraint are beyond my imagination. I surrender."

Then, he stood up, took out a few hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to the bartender, "Purchase her order too."

When he raised his head again, his face returned to its usual cynical attitude, and he strode away without waiting for Shangguan Yu to speak.

.......

The neon lights in the city shrouded in the night are dazzling, and the street lamps emit a warm orange light, illuminating both sides of the street in a motley and confusing way.

Fu Shuruan couldn't get used to sleeping in a hotel bed. He lay on the bed and counted hundreds of sheep like pancakes, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

After tossing and turning for a long time, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she simply got up, dressed neatly, and opened the door to find something to eat at the 24-hour convenience store downstairs.

She glanced at the sleeping Si Kankan, quietly put on her coat and opened the door.

At three fifty-eight, the elevator door slowly opened with a ding.

She lowered her head and focused on the entertainment gossip on her phone. She stepped into the elevator and didn't even notice that there was a person standing in the corner of the elevator.

"Fu Shuruan, where are you going if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

A deep and pleasant voice came from above her head. Fu Shuruan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and met Xiang Chuan's dark and deep eyes.

He put one hand in his pocket and pressed the elevator button with the other. In the narrow and cramped space, he stood leaning against the wall with no intention of going out. His face was shrouded in a dark halo, making it dark and unpredictable.

"I'm not the same. I went to some bar to pick up girls and just came back at this point, right?"

Fu Shuruan put away his phone, slapped his hand that was holding the elevator button away angrily, and pressed the first floor button decisively.

Xiang Chuan gave a perfunctory smile and pinched her fair and smooth face: "You little girl, you are so brave. Even if you don't call me brother when you meet me, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Fu Shuruan frowned and pushed away his paw, curled his lips and said nothing.

"What are you doing on the first floor?"

Xiangchuan looked at the dancing numbers on the elevator display and asked her leisurely.

Fu Shuruan lowered his eyes and said casually: "I'm hungry and can't sleep. Why don't you go downstairs and find something to eat?"

Hearing this, Xiangchuan raised his eyebrows: "I'll go with you. By coincidence, I'm a little hungry too."

Fu Shuruan glanced at him suspiciously and said nothing.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Fu Shuruan stepped out of the elevator first and walked towards the convenience store.

Xiangchuan followed unhurriedly.

Walking to the shelves, yogurt, potato chips, spicy beef jerky...

Fu Shuruan couldn't move her legs when she saw these snacks, and her shopping basket was filled to the brim.

When I walked to the cashier, I was attracted by the steaming oden again.

She turned to the teller with a sweet smile and said, "Hello, please help me get a portion of everything."

The teller nodded quickly, took out a transparent food box, filled a box full of oden and handed it to her.

She was about to pay when a pair of long, slender hands suddenly came over and took the shopping basket away from her.

Xiang Chuan was the first to show his payment code. As soon as the teller's code scanning gun was aimed at him, Fu Shuruan stopped him. She frowned and looked at him and asked displeasedly: "What are you doing!"

"If I pay you, what else can I do?"

Xiangchuan disapproved and waved the payment code in his hand at the teller, gesturing for her to continue.

"I have money myself, I don't need you to help me pay."

She was still angry that Xiang Chuan had leaked the information about Chen Beishu in front of her brother and refused her help to pay. She took out the bank card in her pocket and stretched it out with great ambition: "Swipe the card!"

The teller stretched out his hand to take the bank card and swiped it on the POS machine, "di di di di". A sharp sound similar to a system failure came out. The teller looked embarrassed and tried three or four times, but it was still the same.

"Hello, your bank card seems to have been frozen. How about asking your boyfriend to help you pay?"

The teller handed the bank card back to her with both hands, the QR code scanner flashed, and the small speaker prompted: Payment successful.

"You misunderstood, he is not my boyfriend but my brother."

Fu Shuruan's face turned red, his mouth was filled with oden, his cheeks were bulging like a small puffer fish, and he was shaking his head in explanation.

"Excuse me."

The teller was apologetic and said with a smile, "However, I just saw you guys coming in together and he was so nice to you. I thought you were a couple. I misunderstood."

"Uh hehe hehe..."

Fu Shuruan chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, almost choking to death.

What's the look in this teller's eyes? How can she relate to Brother Xiangchuan?

There's a three-year age gap between them. It's scary to think about it, okay?

"You're frozen, but you can still smile so happily?"

Xiangchuan ignored the teller's words, picked up a large bag of snacks and looked at her sideways.

Fu Shuruan's smile froze, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he put down the oden in his hand, his expression was resentful, and he gritted his teeth: "Isn't that thanks to Brother Xiangchuan?"

He was a big colander, wasn't it because he spilled the beans in front of her brother, could her card be frozen?

Xiangchuan coughed awkwardly and said lightly, "Your brother won't give you pocket money, so I'll give it to you, twice as much as before. How about that?"

"I don't want it. Now that you are old, it is more important to save some money to marry a wife."

Fu Shuruan glanced sideways at him and muttered angrily.

"I'm only three years older than you, how come I'm so old?"

Xiangchuan felt angry and funny. If he remembered correctly, this was the second time she had made an issue of his age.

On Shangguan Yu's side, he was considered young.

On Fu Shuruan's side, he was considered too old.

No matter how old he is, he is still not liked by others?
