Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

10 PM.

The dreamlike lights constantly shifted and changed, the wine glasses on the bar gleamed under the dazzling lights, and men and women on the dance floor swayed their supple waists, the ambiguous atmosphere temporarily allowing people to forget all their troubles.

Immersed in the deafening world of music, lost in its allure, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Three men dressed similarly sat in a booth on the second floor. Despite the noisy environment, they seemed completely isolated from the world. Several stern-looking bodyguards stood at the top of the stairs, their posture indicating that no one was allowed to go up and disturb them.

Since Ji Hancheng got married, the three of them have hardly ever gotten together. At most, they would bump into each other at the hospital entrance to pick someone up. Let alone coming to a bar, it's like smoking has been banned without them even realizing it.

This gathering was organized by Lu Jinnan. Ji Hancheng was worried about Tang Junyao being home alone, so Xiaoyouzi stayed at the Ji residence for the past few days, leaving only the couple at Fenghua Terrace.

To avoid worrying him, Tang Junyao suggested going to the Ji residence to keep Lele company, visit her grandfather, and help check his blood pressure. In fact, Ji Hancheng knew that Tang Junyao was giving him some space.

Looking at the decadent scene on the first floor, Ji Hancheng crossed his legs, one hand dangling on the sofa, peeled a lemon candy with one hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and gestured to Lu Jinnan, who was sitting opposite Han Yue, "Go ahead and say it. After you're done, I'm going home to be with my wife."

Lu Jinnan was dressed as usual today: a bright pink short-sleeved shirt, white pants, sneakers, and her hair was styled with hair gel.

It's incredibly sassy.

Compared to Ji Hancheng, Han Yue's outfit was much simpler: gray pants and a white short-sleeved shirt. Similarly, Han Yue's outfit was also simple: black sweatpants and a white short-sleeved shirt.

Ji Hancheng is eating candy, and Han Yue is smoking.

Han Yue picked up the cigarette case from the table, tapped out a cigarette with his finger, put it between his lips, lit it, and instantly the smoke filled Lu Jinnan's nostrils, choking him.

The smell of smoke triggered Lu Jinnan's craving for cigarettes. He took one from Han Yue's pack and lit it. "Could you blow your cigarette over there? It's choking me."

"Then give me a demonstration of something that only goes in and doesn't come out," Han Yue said, kicking Lu Jinnan beside him.

He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's gift is obligated to do his bidding. Besides, he would need their help later, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.

Han Yue raised his chin and asked Ji Hancheng across from him, "Give me one."

Ji Hancheng is now completely free of smoking; he simply stated, "I've quit."

Han Yue didn't press the matter and casually tossed the cigarette pack back onto the table.

Lu Jinnan grinned as he took out his wedding plan, which he and Xiaoxue had worked on for several nights, getting it published by GG Company.

The details inside were all things Su Xue wanted to try. A wedding that only happens once in a lifetime definitely had to be agreed to. "Look, Xiao Xue and I ordered three sets of groomsmen's outfits. Which style do you want?"

He then placed two sets of documents in front of the two soon-to-be best men, one for each of them and containing the same information.

Ji Hancheng's mouth tasted of lemon; the candy was too sour. He casually picked up the documents and said, "The candy is too sour."

Han Yue took a deep drag of his cigarette, grabbed the documents with one hand, and said, "Nobody's forcing you to eat, yet you have so many complaints about getting something for free."

Lu Jinnan: See? Han Yue's cigarette is rather weak, so he doesn't even comment.

Ji Hancheng, holding documents in both hands, leaned back on the sofa, his elbows propped up. "How many programs have you prepared? It's so thick. Isn't your wife pregnant?"

"I've already reduced it a lot." If he hadn't stopped Su Xue from getting it even thicker.

Ji Hancheng was still feeling the weight and wondering if Su Xue was faking her pregnancy, so he didn't open the contents. Han Yue opened it first and commented, "Is your wife a time traveler?"

Ji Hancheng narrowed his eyes, intrigued. The wedding must be quite unique to make Han Yue ask questions. He opened it to take a look.

My only thought is that I'm glad I didn't agree to have a wedding with Su Xue. It's not a wedding at all; it's more like filming an ancient costume drama. No wonder Han Yue asked that question.

"It's quite possible they're here to fulfill a dream. Are you sure your wife doesn't have a time machine under her bed?"

Ji Hancheng couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the documents, but his face darkened when he flipped to the best man's attire. "Lu Jinnan, you don't want to get married, do you?"

Han Yue had finished reading the documents and placed them on his lap. "Just tell me what kind of grudge we have against you today."

Two disgruntled gazes were fixed on Lu Jinnan, who was wearing a fawning smile. The stares made him feel uneasy, but there was nothing he could do. His wife wanted this kind of wedding, and his own parents had agreed. As someone with no status in the family, he had no chance to object.

Besides, he thinks the plan is quite good and unique.

I quite like it too.

Lu Jinnan panicked when he met the still dissatisfied gaze. He hurriedly picked up the documents to explain, afraid that his two best friends would back out. He had also made plans with Yan Zhun that night, but Yan Zhun said he had surgery and couldn't come. However, Yan Zhun readily agreed to be a best man and gave him his size.

The main reason was that Yan Zhun was too busy, and Lu Jinnan didn't have time to explain what kind of groomsman's outfit it was. Yan Zhun had already given the size and was very cooperative.

Lu Jinnan, who was cooperating, was a little embarrassed.

There's a sense of guilt about taking advantage of honest people.

Lu Jinnan began to introduce, "Look, the first set is a eunuch's robe. I included it in the plan, but I didn't intend for you to wear it."

Both Ji Hancheng and Han Yue had a few words written in their eyes: You let me try it on, and I'll castrate you.

Lu Jinnan felt a chill run down his spine. "Ahem, I know you definitely won't wear them. We only included them to show how well-prepared we were. The second set is a yellow guard uniform. Do you like it?"

Lu Jinnan really liked the bright yellow outfit, but when faced with those two sharp, piercing eyes, they clearly didn't like it.

Hesitantly, he looked away and said to himself, "Alright, if you don't like this one, then this will be the last one. The last one is still pretty cool. I picked this one after a long time, and I guarantee it's handmade."

Lu Jinnan continued to boast, "This third set is the uniform of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Look at the color, such a beautiful blue, and the patterns and colors on it are so cool. Look at this belt."

Han Yue, legs crossed, picked up the documents again and glanced at them. They looked alright. He then turned to Lu Jinnan beside him and asked, "If you didn't know better, you'd think you were a salesperson from some wedding dress company. And the bridesmaid dresses are this pink?"

"Look, this top is pink and the skirt is light blue. It's a perfect match for you Imperial Guards, isn't it? Take a closer look."

Ji Hancheng couldn't bear to watch Lu Jinnan's self-praise, and he knew that this guy was afraid they wouldn't want to wear it. He picked up the information and looked at it again, "You shouldn't be selling houses, you should be selling wedding dresses. You've chosen the wrong profession."

Seeing that the two women's expressions had softened, Lu Jinnan grew bolder. "Since my sister-in-law can't attend, the number of groomsmen and bridesmaids doesn't match, so we can't have pairs. I've asked Yan Feifei instead, is that alright?"

Ji Hancheng said indifferently, "It's not like I'm getting married."

Han Yue didn't say anything. Anyway, his bridesmaid was a young girl, so it didn't matter who she called.

A moment of silence fell as the three of them looked at the documents, which meant they had all agreed. Despite their bickering, they would still go to great lengths for each other on important matters. For example, having Ji Hancheng wear such an outfit to be Lu Jinnan's best man was enough to show the depth of their friendship.

After a while, Ji Hancheng noticed the problem, with a candy in his mouth, "Your entourage isn't grand enough. Are you and your wife playing a down-on-his-luck young lady and young master, or a crown prince and crown princess?"

Lu Jinnan said definitively, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Ji Hancheng scoffed, "Have you ever seen a crown prince get married with three couples? Your crown prince is so miserable, did he come back from human trials only to be deposed?"

After hearing Ji Hancheng's words, Han Yue couldn't hold back. The cigarette between his lips trembled, and he spread his hands on the sofa. "I'll give him a man."

Ji Hancheng glanced at Han Yue and said, "I'll provide the male."

Lu Jinnan didn't understand what they meant until he met their gazes again, which made him realize what they meant. "You guys are planning to support my wedding, brothers, bro, thanks a lot."

Next, Lu Jinnan watched the show, while Ji Hancheng and Han Yue clashed.

Ji Hancheng spoke first, crossing his legs and swallowing the sour taste in his mouth, "Why should I be the one to give birth to a woman?"

Han Yue gave a precise answer: "He wants people who can do square dancing, not pole dancing. People from Tiss can't do that."

He was naturally referring to Lu Jinnan.

This remark made Lu Jinnan and Ji Hancheng laugh, and all three of them smiled slightly at the same time.

"Where am I supposed to find women? If I find a bunch of women, how are you going to explain that to my wife?"

Ji Hancheng countered with a question to Han Yue.

Han Yue: "Your wife isn't my wife, what am I supposed to explain?"

Seeing that neither of them would give in and both wanted the man to be chosen, Lu Jinnan had a good idea. "Wait a minute, you two, don't get excited. I have a good idea."

Ji Hancheng and Han Yue spoke in unison: "Speak."

Lu Jinnan fixed her gaze on Ji Hancheng, met his eyes, and smiled, "Brother Cheng, how about I borrow your company's secretarial department for a moment?"

"Look, aren't we keeping people on our backs?"

Han Yue curled his lips and spoke in a sly tone.

Ji Hancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Does the Han family not have any female secretaries?"

Han Yue chimed in, "Do you think Lu Jie's secretary can stand firm?"

Neither side gained the upper hand in the back-and-forth exchange, but relatively speaking, there were no reliable, delicate women around Han's mother. All she had were strong women, and those who could work under Han's mother could hardly be weak.

Han is a gentle and capable writer, but she is unreliable. After all, it is Lu Jinnan's wedding that day. If she makes a mistake due to her lack of knowledge, it will be a great loss.

In contrast, Ji Hancheng's secretarial team was quite different; they were all presentable figures. Lu Jinnan had been quite envious of them, always asking Ji Hancheng where he had found them. They had figures better than celebrities, and their temperament and height were similar. It would be quite a sight if they all wore maid outfits on the wedding day.

Lu Jinnan: "Brother Cheng, can you do me a favor? I was originally planning to just use three pairs, but you're so generous and want to help me make it a grand affair. If you're going to do me a favor, I'll explain to your wife. I promise she won't hold it against you."

Han Yue smiled and replied, "If his wife knew, she might even help him choose, right?"

Ji Hancheng did not answer Han Yue's question because such a thing could really happen. After all, it was Su Xue's wedding, and he felt somewhat apologetic that Yao Yao could not be Su Xue's bridesmaid due to health reasons.
