Chapter 1 - Child Wife

Birthday banquet.

Inside a lavishly decorated private room, the guests were all toasting each other. For a moment, the atmosphere was bustling with noise and excitement.

In the center of the crowd, a man in a black suit was sitting there leisurely. His long legs were crossed over each other as he held a glass of red wine in his hand. From time to time, he would take a sip.

It was as if the feast that was being held for him had nothing to do with him.

"Young Master Zhou, this is a celebration that I have prepared for you for two weeks. Please give me some face and smile." A man in a white shirt and black vest came over with a glass of champagne.

The man who was sitting glanced up at him, but there was no change in his expression. Then he looked away. But it was only for an instant, and the aura of a stranger on his body was greatly flourished.

Jin Xuan hastily took a step back, looking at the perfectly cut face, the corners of his mouth raised up to form a fawning smile, "You sit, you sit, I won't disturb you."

He had orchestrated the celebration two weeks ago, but the other party did not seem to appreciate it. Jin Xuan consoled himself. Everyone knew that Zhou Xing Chen was a difficult person to deal with, and standing up for him was already giving him a lot of face.

He shook his head, unable to understand that although they had grown up together, when they had matured, they had occupied two extremes of character.

The music in the box was very loud, and many people wanted to come up and have a chat with Zhou Xing Chen, but they were pushed away by Jin Xuan. "Go, go. Haven't we seen that young master Zhou doesn't want to speak?"

As he spoke, Zhou Xing Chen's pupils contracted, his hawk-like gaze inadvertently shifting to the direction of the private box's door.

Jin Xuan didn't understand, but following his gaze, he saw a silhouette push open the door and enter the room.

It was a tall, gentle woman. The elegance of her appearance, the exquisite face, and the smile that would always remain on her lips, all of these revealed her identity.

Liang Jia.

Seeing who it was, Jin Xuan immediately felt a sense of unease. He couldn't help but cover his forehead as he whispered into Zhou Xing Chen's ear, "Uncle Zhou, that little lackey of yours is truly a dutiful man. He's practically omnipotent. You can even find them here? "

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear. The music continued, but everyone in the room stopped.

Liang Jia turned a blind eye to this, pushing her soft hair behind her ears as she walked to Zhou Xing Chen's side and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the silent Zhou Xing Chen opened his mouth and asked in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Xing Chen sneered, finishing the last mouthful of wine in his cup. He turned the cup in his hand and looked her in the eye playfully. "Are you worried about me, or is my mother worried about me?"

Seeing that he had exposed her, Liang Jia helplessly shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, it's Mom who's worried about you."

The cup in Zhou Xing Chen's hand slammed heavily against the table, the atmosphere between the two falling into silence.

Those who were with them all revealed an expression of watching a good show.

Those close to Zhou Xing Chen all knew about Liang Jia, but they also knew that Zhou Xing Chen hated Liang Jia. She was the adopted daughter of the Zhou family. To put it bluntly, she was the daughter-in-law that Zhou Weiqing's mother had raised. No matter where Zhou Xing Chen was, she was to follow him.

No matter how much Zhou Weiqing cursed at her, she would always keep a faint smile on her face. After he finished cursing, she would continue to follow him, repeating the same line over and over again. This caused Zhou Xing Chen's brothers to sigh in regret. They all said in secret that if she wasn't their boss' wife, they would have taken her for their wife long ago.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Jin Xuan quickly got up to liven up the atmosphere, "Hey hey hey, what are you all standing there for? Our little sister Liang is also here. With so many people here, how about we play games? "

Zhou Xing Chen didn't say anything, but Liang Jia smiled and said, "Alright, what do you want to play?"

As the atmosphere relaxed, Jin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He blinked his eyes, picked up the dice tube and threw it high into the sky — —

The people around him gasped, but he reached out his hand and firmly caught it. The wooden cylinder in his hand turned over several dozen different patterns, then he threw it on the smooth tea table. "How's the size?"

The cheers rose and fell, Jin Xuan blew his bangs narcissistically. A thin voice sounded from the side, "Will there be a reward if we win?"

Jin Xuan turned his head to look. It was Ren Chengyan, Zhou Xing Chen's secretary. Now she had the courage to stand up, a little nervous, but her eyes were determined.

Everyone on the streets knew what Ren Chengyan was thinking about Zhou Xing Chen, and they all whistled in agreement. Jin Xuan looked at Zhou Xing Chen and said, "If you win, you can sit next to young master Zhou. What do you think?"

In any case, he would still help pacify this little follower of his. Zhou Xing Chen would be a bit more at ease, as the two of them had grown up together. This was something that he was well aware of.

Zhou Xing Chen glanced at Ren Chengyan for a moment, then turned away with an indifferent expression, tacit agreement.
