On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Zhao Lei was shocked.

Very impressive.

The man was stunned.

My mind is filled with only two words.

Holy crap.

Holy crap.

Holy crap.

Holy crap!

This is so beautiful!

Is this what Brother Chuan meant by "ordinary friends"?

You're kidding me!

Just now, Brother Chuan said that women are like clothes, out with the old, in with the new, and then he brought over such a top-quality woman.

This isn't changing clothes at all!

It's like going straight from cheap street vendor items to haute couture gowns!

Zhao Lei has always been a very straightforward person.

Now that the alcohol is taking effect, it's even harder to control what I say.

The moment Liu Fuyao reached Lu Chuan, he jumped up from the plastic stool, swayed a couple of times before regaining his balance, and, his face flushed, shouted at Liu Fuyao…

"Hello, new sister-in-law!"

Liu Fuyao was initially quite apprehensive.

It was late at night, and she, as the sister-in-law, had come out to find her brother-in-law.

As soon as they stopped...

I was completely stunned by being called "new sister-in-law".

Her originally fair and delicate face instantly turned bright red.

The blush spread directly from her face to her ears and neck.

sister in law?

My brother-in-law's good brother...

Calling yourself sister-in-law?

If this had happened before, Liu Fuyao would definitely have gotten angry.

I need to explain this clearly right away.

But now.

Liu Fuyao's heart pounded, her eyes darted away, but she couldn't suppress the shyness on her lips.

She did not refute it.

Even by some strange twist of fate.

I felt a little sweet inside.

So she responded shyly, her voice barely audible.

"Hello...

"Why."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

Seeing that the other party didn't deny it, Zhao Lei became even more enthusiastic, patting his chest and introducing himself.

"I'm Brother Chuan's best buddy, my name is Zhao Lei!"

"From now on, if anything happens to you, sister-in-law, as long as Brother Chuan isn't around, just call me. I'd go through fire and water for you without batting an eye!"

Lu Chuan sat next to him, rolling his eyes as he listened.

That fatso.

Drinking a little horse urine makes you forget your own name.

Returning the new sister-in-law.

This is my ex-sister-in-law!

But the relationship was too complicated, and Lu Chuan was too lazy to explain to a drunkard at this critical juncture, as it would only make things worse.

So he quickly got up and stopped Zhao Lei, who was still trying to show his loyalty, and said in an annoyed tone,

"Alright, stop making a fool of yourself here."

"You're as drunk as a mush, go home and get some sleep."

Zhao Lei chuckled.

He let Lu Chuan push him towards the roadside, muttering to himself.

"Brother Chuan, you're being too polite."

"I'm happy for you..."

"Seriously, this sister-in-law is much better than that Liu Ruyan; she's much more pleasing to the eye..."

Lu Chuan's eyelids twitched.

I quickly flagged down a taxi and shoved the thing inside.

"Driver, go to Xingfu Community. Just drop him off at the door when you get there."

As the taxi drove away, Zhao Lei was still waving from the back seat window, while Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly.

He turned around.

Only then did I realize that Liu Fuyao was standing under the streetlight.

With her hands behind her back and her toes lightly kicking at the pebbles on the roadside, her well-behaved appearance was completely different from the aloof school beauty she usually was.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Lu Chuan said.

"Um."

Liu Fuyao responded softly.

She quickly caught up and walked naturally beside Lu Chuan.

The old streets of Nancheng late at night.

The noise gradually subsided.

The two walked side by side, neither of them speaking.

Although he had drunk some alcohol earlier, Lu Chuan still possessed martial arts skills.

Therefore, he was not drunk at all.

My head is buzzing from Zhao Lei's noise, and I want some peace and quiet.

Liu Fuyao, however, had something on her mind.

She couldn't help but secretly turn her head and glance at her brother-in-law next to her out of the corner of her eye.

The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow.

The beam of light shone on my brother-in-law's face, making his features appear even more angular.

It looks even better.

Liu Fuyao had no shortage of suitors at school.

And who dares to pursue her?

They were all handsome men.

However, Liu Fuyao felt that they were all too naive.

Immature.

Unreliable.

Not gentle.

She can't compare to her brother-in-law at all.

It can't compare to anything else.

Unable to resist, Liu Fuyao recalled Zhao Lei calling her "sister-in-law" earlier, and felt her cheeks burning again.

My brother-in-law didn't seem to object just now.

We walked for quite a while.

Liu Fuyao finally couldn't help but ask,

"Brother-in-law."

"Um?"

Lu Chuan kept his eyes fixed ahead, his steps unwavering.

"You...really divorced my sister?"

Liu Fuyao cautiously probed,

"When I came out just now, I saw her crying in the living room, and her eyes were swollen."

Lu Chuan paused slightly.

But it soon returned to normal.

Subconsciously, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, and just as he was about to light it, he glanced at Liu Fuyao next to him and put the cigarette back in his pocket.

Then he said calmly,

"We're divorced."

"Hesitation when a decision is needed will inevitably lead to chaos."

"Since you've already made up your mind, there's no need to drag it out. Don't try to persuade your sister anymore; it's useless."

"Oh……"

Liu Fuyao responded.

My feelings are mixed.

On the one hand, seeing her older sister so heartbroken, she, as the younger sister, must have felt terrible.

But on the other hand...

Yet, I felt a secret delight.

My brother-in-law is single.

Does that mean...?

Will I have a chance?

The moment this thought popped into Liu Fuyao's head, she was startled, feeling that she was being utterly rebellious.

But then I thought about it again.

My sister brought this on herself.

She doesn't cherish such a good husband.

Why did you have to go and have an ambiguous relationship with that Su Yan? What's the use of regretting it now?

Suddenly, Lu Chuan seemed to remember something, turned to look at Liu Fuyao and said seriously,

"besides."

"Don't call me brother-in-law anymore."

Liu Fuyao stopped in her tracks instantly.

She looked up at Lu Chuan, a hint of panic flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Then...what should I call you?"

Why not call him brother-in-law?

That's Lu Chuan?

Should I still call him Mr. Lu?

The sense of distance is immediately created.

Lu Chuan hadn't thought that much about it and just said casually,

"Either is fine, you can call me by my name, anyway we're not related anymore."

Liu Fuyao bit her lip.

Calling me by my name feels too formal.

Her eyes darted around.

I suddenly remembered that Zhao Lei called Lu Chuan "Brother Chuan" earlier, and...

When my older sister first started dating Lu Chuan, she seemed to call him that too.

They were so sweet together back then.

Liu Fuyao took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and whispered,

"Then... I'll call you brother."

elder brother?

Lu Chuan's body stiffened abruptly.

This name...

The door to memory was opened instantly.

A few years ago, he and Liu Ruyan were just high school students.

Liu Ruyan was like that, always following behind him, sweetly calling out "Brother, Brother".

At that time, Liu Ruyan only had eyes for him.

But later...

When did things change?

It was probably after joining the Martial Arts Association, experiencing the so-called high society, and getting to know Su Yan.
