On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 51 Wedding Banquet
"What? You mean Commander Fu wants us to come over for a wedding banquet tonight??"

Deputy Regiment Commander Yang's wife, Wang Lichun, had just returned from her hometown when she learned of the news, and her eyes widened in shock.

“I was also very surprised. When Xiao Li came to our house and told us about this, I didn’t believe it. I kept pressing him for a while to find out that Si Nian was getting married after returning from a mission.”

Deputy Regiment Commander Yang was changing clothes nearby, and after learning that his good friend was getting married, he was beaming with joy.

"What's Commander Fu's wife's name? Is she in the military? Do I know her?"

Wang Lichun excitedly walked up to Deputy Regiment Commander Yang and pressed him for answers.

"They're not from the military. According to Xiao Li, the two met while arresting human traffickers. It hasn't even been a month since they met. Xiao Li also said that Si Nian fell in love with his sister-in-law at first sight!"

Deputy Regiment Commander Yang emphasized these four words.

It's no wonder he didn't believe it when he learned that Fu Sinian was getting married. After all, he and Fu Sinian had been good brothers for many years, and he knew his brother's personality very well. It was hard to imagine that something like love at first sight would happen to Fu Sinian.

Upon hearing that she didn't recognize him, Wang Lichun suddenly became nervous.

"Old Yang, what should I do? This is my first time meeting Commander Fu's wife. What should I prepare for her?"

As they spoke, they began to rummage through the room.

Deputy Regiment Commander Yang shrugged. "I'll handle external affairs, you handle internal affairs. I really don't know much about this, so just do what you think is best."

"By the way, Si Nian and his sister-in-law aren't planning a big wedding. They're just inviting us, Lao Zheng, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Li to have a meal together to celebrate."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lichun smiled and said, "So, the timing of my return with Yuwen was quite coincidental; we just happened to arrive in time for Commander Fu's wedding banquet."

She rummaged through drawers and cupboards, finally finding a stack of clean red paper, which she excitedly took to the kitchen.

Wang Lichun and Zheng's wife, Liu Yuwen, are from the same hometown. They both had family matters to attend to recently and had to go back home. They returned to the family compound together today.

Upon learning of Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue's marriage, Wang Lichun hurriedly began preparing the congratulatory gift she would give later.

Liu Yuwen next door is also preparing for this, but she's better off than Wang Lichun because she happens to have something that can be given as a wedding gift.

"What a coincidence! I really got the perfect timing to buy these two thermos flasks!"

"I was really excited when I saw these two thermos flasks in Yutao's room. The next day I immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two more. I didn't expect them to come in handy so soon!"

Liu Yuwen stood in front of the table, praising the two thermos flasks she had bought from her hometown.

She went back to attend her younger brother's wedding banquet. When she saw the two red thermos flasks with the character "囍" (double happiness) on them in her brother's room, she liked them very much and thought about buying two to take home to her family compound, so that they could be given as wedding gifts to anyone who got married.

Unexpectedly, on the day he returned, Commander Zheng told him that Fu Sinian was getting married.

These two thermos flasks came in handy.

Commander Zheng smiled and said, "That's why I say my wife is always thinking ahead. Alright, stop staring at those two thermos flasks and help me decide what to wear later. Today is Si Nian's wedding day, and I need to dress presentably."

-

It was already 4 PM when I got back from the department store.

Fu Sinian rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, quickly preparing dinner for the evening.

Song Jinyue: "I'll wash the vegetables."

Fu Sinian: "No need, I can do it."

Song Jinyue: "Then I'll go wash the dishes."

Fu Sinian: "Put it there, I'll wash it later."

Song Jinyue: "Then I..."

Fu Sinian: "You don't need to do anything. It's too hot in the kitchen. Go and rest in the living room."

Song Jinyue, who originally wanted to help, was thus 'kicked' out of the kitchen by Fu Sinian.

Grandpa Fu is a good cook. Having lived with them for seven years, Fu Sinian has also learned to cook well by observing and learning from him.

Skilled knife work echoed in the kitchen, followed by pouring oil into the pan and adding seasonings. Before long, a steaming hot dish was ready.

An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen, heading straight for Song Jinyue's nose. She wasn't particularly hungry, but the smell made her stomach rumble twice.

As she was arranging fruit and White Rabbit candies on a plate, she followed the aroma and headed towards the kitchen.

Fu Sinian stood in front of the stove, holding the pot handle in one hand and the spatula in the other. The swirling smoke obscured his features, vaguely outlining his highly sculpted profile.

Song Jinyue leaned against the door frame and admired it for a while.

As expected, handsome people are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do.

The pink checkered apron he was wearing was a bit out of place, like a tough guy wearing a cute cat ear hair clip.

The image flashed through Song Jinyue's mind, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fu Sinian looked at her.

Song Jinyue coughed twice, put her hands behind her back, and walked over with a serious expression. "What dish smells so good?"

Spicy shrimp.

On Qiongzhou Island, seafood is never in short supply.

Prawns, various kinds of fish, crabs, and more are plentiful at seafood markets, and they are all caught on the same day or the day before, so they are absolutely fresh.

Looking at the delicious-looking spicy shrimp in front of him, Song Jinyue raised his eyebrows.

"I never expected Comrade Fu to be such a good cook. He's found a man who's both elegant and domestic. Looks like I'm in for a treat."

Hearing her praise him, Fu Sinian's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and he tossed the wok even faster.

Looking at the man beside her who was praising her so enthusiastically, Song Jinyue found it a bit funny and thought to herself that he was childish.

Then she opened the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand and held it to his mouth.

"Here, wedding candy."

Fu Sinian directly put the candy in his mouth from her hand.

He didn't like these sweet things before, but today's milk candy seemed especially delicious.

Holding it in my mouth makes me feel wonderful.

Looking at Song Jinyue, whose head barely reached his shoulder, Fu Sinian said earnestly, "Yueyue, you're too thin. Eat more in the future, and have two bowls of rice per meal."

His calves weren't even as thick as his forearms.

When Fu Sinian used a hot towel to apply heat to Song Jinyue's ankle at the guesthouse last time, he made up his mind that as long as he was not going out on missions, he would cook at home and raise her to be plump and healthy.

Looking at the large bowl of rice next to her, Song Jinyue's lips twitched.

"I'm the wife you married, not a pig you bought. You're feeding me two bowls of rice from such a big bowl? Is this how you feed someone?"

Fu Sinian took a step back, "Then I'll have a bowl."

“In our family’s bowl, half a bowl of rice is more than a whole bowl of rice I used to eat.”

Song Jinyue is from the South. He only eats about half a bowl of rice each time he eats rice. His appetite is as small as a cat's.

Fu Sinian had long been accustomed to using large bowls during his years in the army, and he hadn't considered this when buying bowls, so he bought all large bowls.

"It was my oversight. I'll buy you two small bowls next time."

Before making the next pungent dish, Fu Sinian 'kicked' Song Jinyue out of the kitchen again.

Ever since he returned from the department store, he had been busy in the kitchen for two hours, finally finishing all the dishes before six o'clock in the evening.

Just then, two loud voices came from outside the door.

"Auntie, Auntie, look! We brought you a big fish!"
