After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

What does my money have to do with you?

Or are you saying that after we get married, I'll give you three sons, and you'll just lie at home waiting for me to support you?

For a time,

Tang Xiaoli's feelings for Gangzi dropped to negative levels.

After leading him to sit on a lounge chair in front of the pool, Lu Chen appeared shortly afterward.

He sat down opposite the two men, holding a bottle of red wine and three glasses.

From the moment Gangzi saw Lu Chen, he inexplicably became very nervous.

It was as if something was suppressing him from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't even dare to look Lu Chen in the eye.

"You're Xiaoli's boyfriend, right? You're quite handsome."

Lu Chen put down the red wine and casually complimented him.

Gangzi was a little uneasy. He scratched his head, not knowing what to say, and could only smile shyly.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaoli shook her head inwardly.

If a man doesn't even have the most basic self-confidence, how can he possibly succeed in society?

He's destined to be a laborer his whole life...

Looking at Lu Chen, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent.

"My name is Lu Chen, and I am the president of this company. I currently run it with my wife."

Upon hearing this, Gangzi also said, "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, my name is Li Gang... I'm from the countryside."

"Hmm." Lu Chen nodded lightly: "Making money is not easy these days, brother. You've worked hard, but you're lucky. Tang Xiaoli is a good girl, cherish her."

The moment Tang Xiaoli was mentioned, Li Gang became instantly smug, radiating an inexplicable confidence.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, do you even need to tell me? You know, Xiaoli is a city girl, very beautiful. Ten men pursued her back then, and I was the only one who succeeded. Don't you think I'm very capable?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and smiled faintly: "It's alright. Come and have a drink. After you're done, you can sleep here for a while and go back when you wake up. Your health is the most important thing."

"Good Le!"

Seeing that Lu Chen was so easy to talk to, Gangzi became less reserved.

He picked up the red wine and glanced at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Lu, this must be Rémy Martin, right? Wow, the bottle is really beautiful."

Lu Chen replied, "This is a ten-year-old vintage, more suitable for summer. You should try it."

Gangzi then said, "Then I'll give it a try. Anyway, I can drink two jin of baijiu at home."

After Gangzi finished speaking, he opened the bottle cap and poured himself a full glass.

"Mr. Lu, thank you, I'll drink this first!"

After saying that, Gangzi tilted his head back and drank the entire glass of red wine.

Just as Tang Xiaoli was about to stop him, Lu Chen gave her a look.

Tang Xiaoli bit her lip and swallowed her words.

"Hah!"

Gangzi put down his empty glass, shook his head, and smacked his lips: "President Lu, you know what, this wine is actually quite sweet."

Lu Chen poured himself a little and said, "You can't drink like that. You'll see when the effects kick in."

"What kind of staying power do you have? If you ask me, Mr. Lu, you're far too precious..."

Gangzi said something dismissively, but soon he felt a burning sensation in his throat, his vision went black, and the whole world began to spin.

"Ugh! I'm so dizzy!"

With a "plop," Gangzi collapsed onto the recliner and fell asleep, his face flushed.

Tang Xiaoli immediately became anxious and stood up to ask, "President Lu, what's wrong with him...?"

"He's drunk." Lu Chen smiled. "Let him rest. Take off your clothes and come swimming with me."

Chapter 172 The Bride Price Has Increased

Lu Chen's order was irresistible, and Tang Xiaoli could not refuse it, especially since she had no intention of refusing.

Looking at her unconscious boyfriend, Tang Xiaoli still asked worriedly, "Mr. Lu, how come he passed out after just one drink? Will he be alright?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's okay, let him sleep. He won't wake up for at least two hours."

After hearing that everything was alright, Tang Xiaoli stopped worrying. She took off her clothes and put them away, then changed into the swimming trunks that Lu Chen had prepared, and jumped into the pool.

Lu Chen followed closely behind and entered the pool... He wasn't really swimming, but rather enjoying the thrill of playing with his girlfriend in front of others.

Lu Chen leaned closer and whispered in Tang Xiaoli's ear, "Hold onto the side and face him."

Tang Xiaoli obediently held on, letting Lu Chen pull her swim trunks down to her calves.

Lu Chen first stroked her breasts, and Tang Xiaoli took the initiative to turn her head and kiss them.

The smacking sounds of the two kissing echoed in the space.

Gangzi, fast asleep, showed no reaction and even snored softly; he was simply too exhausted.

Lu Chen found the right spot and entered Tang Xiaoli's flower path. After a series of movements, the distance between the two was already a negative number.

"Hmm! Mr. Lu..."

Tang Xiaoli covered her mouth, the pleasure in her body making her lose herself and almost cry out.

Lu Chen slapped her pert buttocks hard and said coldly, "Oh, did I tell you to cover your mouth? Shout louder."

Tang Xiaoli trembled. After being reprimanded by Lu Chen, a sense of excitement welled up in her heart.

But her outward reserve still made her act coy.

"Mr. Lu...no...Xiao Li can't do it."

"Clap clap clap!"

After a few more slaps, Lu Chen said, "If you can't do it, I'll drag you to do it in front of him."

"No... Mr. Lu, I'll shout, I, uh! I'll definitely shout very loudly."

This time, Tang Xiaoli didn't dare to do it again...

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen deliberately began to ram the object with great force.

Tang Xiaoli no longer suppressed her feelings, because she also felt great.

"Ah...Mr. Lu, my good husband, my dear husband...you're so great, Xiaoli...I love you so much."

Lu Chen was very satisfied, and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Li, shall we go to him and make it happen?"

"Ah, no……"

Tang Xiaoli instinctively refused, but was slapped several more times by Lu Chen, one of which landed on her face.

Did I tell you to refuse?

"Waaah...no, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Chen pulled her to Gangzi's side.

Tang Xiaoli's heart was in her throat. What if Gangzi suddenly woke up and saw this scene? How would she face him?

But soon, as the physical pleasure intensified, Tang Xiaoli quickly forgot about the whole thing.

The two voices continued to be heard. Lu Chen then pulled Tang Xiaoli to the front and had her hold onto the recliner so that they could look at Gangzi up close.

Lu Chen then ordered, "Say your boyfriend is a piece of trash, and insult him."

Tang Xiaoli gritted her teeth and stared at Gangzi, saying, "You're just a piece of trash, sob...uh...so good, President Lu is much better than you. Do you think you're good enough for me? Uh...I'm President Lu's dog, sob...uh...I've wanted to cheat on you for a long time...uh uh uh uh."

Tsk tsk.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Chen wondered if Tang Xiaoli had revealed her true feelings.

Gangzi opened his eyes again, stretched, and then sat up as soon as he came to his senses.

He looked around and saw that the former rooftop garden was now lit up with various lights, and the sky was shrouded in night.

"Did I sleep all day?" Gangzi muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Li? Xiao Li?"

He shouted a few times into the air, and soon, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out.

Tang Xiaoli came out carrying a tray filled with hot food.

"Gangzi, you're awake? Come and eat."

Gangzi scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, I slept all day... Is it okay? Your boss won't say anything, will he?"

"No, not at all." Tang Xiaoli sat down next to him. "President Lu is a very nice person. He even asked me to save dinner for you. You eat first. I have something to tell you."

As she spoke, Tang Xiaoli handed her another bottle of water.

"Okay, I'm actually hungry. Please thank Mr. Lu for me. Your boss is such a good person."

Gangzi said with great emotion, then took the tray and began to wolf down his food.

Tang Xiaoli patted his shoulder and said, "Eat slowly, there's more if you're not full..."

"Um..." Gangzi mumbled, "Didn't you say you had something to say? Tell me about it."

Tang Xiaoli sighed: "Gangzi, while you were sleeping just now, my mom called me and said that the bride price is going to increase to 38.8 yuan, and we also need to buy a house and put my name on it."

"what?"

Gangzi was stunned: "How come it went up? Wasn't it supposed to be 18.8?"

"Sigh!" Tang Xiaoli was also very helpless: "I can't do anything about it. I have to listen to my mother. Gangzi, you have to think of a way... I really want to marry you and live with you."

As she spoke, Tang Xiaoli's eyes welled up with tears, as if she were crying.

Ugh, Mr. Lu's pounding made my butt hurt...

When Gangzi saw Tang Xiaoli like this, his heart softened, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! 380,000 it is. I'll figure something out. If all else fails, I'll sell the house in our hometown! Xiaoli, I will definitely marry you."

"Really!" Tang Xiaoli exclaimed happily, "Gangzi, I knew you loved me the most!"

"Hehe, Xiaoli, I love you too." Gangzi put down his chopsticks and was about to hug Tang Xiaoli, but she cleverly dodged him.

"Ahem, Gangzi, you should eat first, then I'll take you home."

"All right……"

Gangzi was a little disappointed that he didn't get to hug Tang Xiaoli, but then he thought that once he married Tang Xiaoli, he could do whatever he wanted.

So I felt much better immediately. This is what they mean by "If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together every day and night?"

Gu Nanyin had had enough of lying at home, and with the suburban land to be developed, she took Lu Chen's place.

Now that Lu Chen has some free time, he's resumed his life as a homebody.

But things are different now; he can't stay home even if he wants to.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Xinyu called.

"Brother, we've taken care of everything. Please come to my house soon."

When Su Tian died unexpectedly, Chen Man handled his funeral arrangements, and Su Xinyu naturally went along with him.

Now that everything was settled, Su Xinyu missed Lu Chen terribly and couldn't wait to call him.

Lu Chen yawned: "I want to sleep in. Being the CEO lately is exhausting."

Su Xinyu urged, "No, come quickly, come to my house to sleep, you can hug me! I'm soft and smell so good."

Lu Chen was amused by Su Xinyu: "Really? Are you a little cake then?"
