Mu Liang said, "So, you are planning on marrying her, did your family agree to it?"

  Ge Chen answered, "I didn’t ask for their approval. I married her and then took her to meet them."

  Mu Liang was curious to know about the whole situation. "How did they react?"

  Ge Chen recalled the time when Xue Lin chided the Ge Family. He chuckled. "Who can dare to say anything against her in front of her?" He told them what happened at the Ge Mansion as well as at the Su Mansion.

  Mu Feng was full of praise. "I know she is scary but I never imagine she can shut up your family. They won’t dare to harm her, will they?"

  Ge Chen asked him back, "Do you think they will dare?"

  Mu Feng shook his head. "I don’t trust your step-brother’s brain. He can do anything." Suddenly he remembered that there was a hole in Ge Chen’s story. "Wait, hold on, how did you end up marrying her? Why did she agree to marry you? The last thing she will ever do is to marry a guy. She doesn’t like rich people. I’ve seen that with my own eyes."

  Ge Chen silently gazed at Mu Feng.

  Mu Liang smirked. "It looks like I’m not the only one who deceived his wife."

  Ge Chen finally opened his mouth, "It’s nothing like that. It was by chance." He told them how Ge Guiren wanted Ge Junjie to marry Xue Lin and how things ended up. In the end, he said, "She had no choice but to marry me."

  "I kind of feel bad for her. She has lots of potential." Mu Feng said. "But I feel more sympathy for her because she ended up marrying you. I can’t imagine what she will go through later."

  "If she wants, she can always go back to Germany. I won’t stop her. However, I will go along with her." Ge Chen glanced at mu Liang. "I know you bought a house for her. I’ll pay you back."

  Mu Liang shook his head. "There’s no need. That’s her payment."

  Ge Chen didn’t understand his words. "Payment?"

  Mu Liang replied, "She helped me before and as for payment she asked for a house." He remembered that she also asked for citizenship in France when she helped him for the first time.

  Ge Chen commented, "That’s an unusual payment but a clever one." He didn’t know about that. It seemed that he needed to know more about her.

  Mu Feng warned his friend, "Yes if you even become indebted to her, she will rob you off. So, be careful."

  Ge Chen coolly said, "Whatever I have is all her, from the time I set my eyes on her."

  "Chen, I’m telling you, you should tell her everything before she finds out or it’ll be a disaster." Though Mu Liang said that, he didn’t seem worried for his friend at all.

  Ge Chen wasn’t worried about it. "Not until I make her fall for me." He believed in his charm and intelligence. And he knew how to trap his simple-minded wife.

  Mu Feng shook his head. "She is going to be so pissed when she finds out."

  Mu Liang asked, "Doesn’t she know that the Su Corporation is under you? She already knows that you are rich."

  "Though it is indeed in my name, I haven’t taken a cent from the account and she knows it." Ge Chen replied smugly.

  Mu Feng didn’t believe it would be that easy. "You are ’the walking money tree’. If she sees your clothes and accessories, she will find out how rich you are."

  "I already ordered the maids to move them away and change them into normal clothes." Ge Chen planned everything the moment he saw her in the footage.

  Mu Liang nodded. "You have thought it through." He knew his friend was the scariest person in the world.

  "Yes, I had to. She is observant." There was no way Ge Chen would let his guard down around her. "So, are you guys coming or what?"

  Mu Feng frowned. "We haven’t found Lu Feng. Moreover, he made Yan Su pregnant. Yan Su lost it and she is bugging everyone. Sister Lan Lan is trying to keep her cool. I also have a pile of work waiting for me. I’m preparing to go against Li Sheng. In a situation like this, I don’t think we can go to your reception." He wished he could join the party but his hands were tied.

  "The situation is dire. I understand. I won’t take it personally." Ge Chen understood their problems. So, he didn’t pester then. However, it would have been great if they came.

  Mu Liang said, "But we will come to your party when she accepts you after knowing everything about you. Because I believe, though you are holding the party, she is still not yours. You cannot be content with it. At least I wasn’t. Though Xiao Lan was married to me from the start, her heart was to someone else and I was restless till she confessed her love to me."

  Ge Chen’s grey eyes flickered as he thought of something. "I know what you mean. I feel the same from the day we are married. However, I’m in a better position because she doesn’t love someone else and she sees me as her husband. She protects me when she thinks I need it. For now, I’m satisfied with it." His eyes held amusement thinking how hard she tried to protect him from the Ge Family and his grandparents.

  Mu Liang raised eye left eyebrow. "Satisfied? You? Who are you bluffing? Judging by your character, I can tell that it will be hard to control yourself from the night you two share a bed together."

  "We will see. At least I’m married to her publicly and she won’t oppose me. But I never thought that Lu Feng would do something like that. He wouldn’t have the courage if he wasn’t pushed by someone." Ge Chen looked at Mu Feng and asked him, "Was it your idea?"

  Mu Feng shook his head. "Huh? Not at all. He would rather die than come to me." They were rivals for a long time. He always snatched Lu Feng’s girlfriends in the past and Lu Feng disliked him to the core.

  Ge Chen nodded. "I thought so too. However, Liang isn’t a person so meddle into someone else’s business." His eyes landed on Mu Liang. His mysterious eyes were smiling.

  Mu Liang coughed dryly. "I just thought it would be great if we were all happy."

  "Big brother!" Mu Feng was shocked and hurt. He didn’t know how many things his big brother did behind his back.

  Ge Chen commented, "You’ve changed."

  "You too. you are smiling more than usual." Mu Liang noticed his smile from the beginning.

  Ge Chen smugly said, "Am I? Maybe because my wife is waiting for me. I have to go. If you have anything else to know, just send me a text. And leave Lu Feng to me." He would talk like this only when he was with his childhood friends.

  Mu Liang smirked. "Alright then, see you later. And congrats on your wedding."

  "Oh yes, congrats Chen!" Mu Feng smiled as well.

  "Thank you!" Ge Chen turned off the screen. He leaned back and looked at the dark ceiling. The depth of the gaze was even deeper.

  Meanwhile, Mu Feng asked his brother, "Big brother, do you think she will be okay?"

  Mu Liang answered, "After marrying him? No way!"

  Mu Feng sighed. ’Good luck! You freaky woman!’
