When Qin Feng got out of the car, he realized that it had started raining without him noticing.
Fortunately, the rain wasn't heavy. He took an umbrella out of the car and told the driver to go ahead and come back to pick him up in about two hours.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning. Dark clouds piled up, and the sky looked like a freshly washed blue silk, beautiful whether lightly or heavily adorned.
Qin Feng had no time to appreciate the scenery and hurried into the hotel.
Shangguan Feng made one urging call after another, but the wedding banquet had not yet started when Qin Feng entered.
He glanced around; his dark suit accentuated his superior physique, his skin was slightly pale, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Shangguan Feng stood up and waved to him, and Qin Feng walked over.
He then realized that the guests at that table were all his high school classmates. After not seeing them for several years, he could still vaguely see their youthful appearances.
"Oh, Mr. Qin is here."
Qin Feng sat down, the others crowded around him.
After graduating from university, he took over the family business and surpassed his father, becoming one of the rising business elites in the capital in recent years.
It's not easy for others to catch a glimpse of him, and once they do, they naturally want to toast and flatter him.
Qin Feng was indeed late, so he punished himself by drinking three cups of wine.
While he was drinking, Shangguan Feng sat idly to the side watching the show.
Just as Qin Feng was raising his third glass of wine, the banquet hall door was suddenly pushed open again.
Shangguan Feng asked, "Is it starting already?"
"That can't be," one person at the table said. "They're probably late."
"Who is it? Why are they so late?"
Her tone carried a hint of reproach, completely forgetting that Qin Feng had only arrived less than ten minutes early.
Qin Feng glanced at him, said nothing, and was about to drink his third glass of wine when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside by a waiter.
The two entered hand in hand. Qin Feng had only glanced at them casually, but then stopped in his tracks.
He held the glass of wine so firmly that it trembled, and the wine spilled out.
There was a lively discussion at the table.
"Holy crap, it's Pei Jin."
"When did Pei Jin return to the country? I reckon the situation in the capital is going to change again."
"Is the one standing next to him an Omega?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people subtly cast their gazes over.
For a moment, Qin Feng's mind went blank.
He stared blankly at the Alpha who walked in from the doorway, side by side with someone else.
The other person was wearing a black overcoat over a white shirt, and had long black hair that fell to their sides like seaweed.
The Omega next to him said something, and he listened intently. His delicate, pale features looked even more beautiful under the light.
"Tsk."
Qin Feng heard Shangguan Feng scoff lightly, with a tone of watching a show.
He snapped out of his daze, quickly finished his third glass of wine, and then sat down.
The two people had already approached. Pei Jin pulled over a chair from the opposite side of the table, and the Omega smiled, said thank you, and then sat down.
Pei Jin sat next to him.
At this point, everyone at the table was finally together.
Apart from the unfamiliar Omega, everyone else was a classmate from high school, invited by the groom for today's wedding.
Qin Feng his eyelashes lowered, never daring to peek over the shoulder.
Everyone at the table knew that he and Pei Jin were a married couple, the kind who had registered their marriage.
So the atmosphere at the table was clearly a bit strange.
The phone on the table vibrated.
Qin Feng picked it up and saw that Shangguan Feng had sent a message to their four childhood friends group.
Shangguan Feng: [How does it feel to Fengfeng an ex-lover?]
Qin Feng immediately looked up and glared at Shangguan Feng.
He didn't reply, but the other two replied instantly.
Fu Jingzhou: [???]
Shen Xingli: [Oh my god, is that Pei Jin?]
Shangguan Feng: [Otherwise what? Given his destined-to-be-single nature, besides Pei Jin, there won't be another one like him.]
Qin Feng felt a bit suffocated by what he saw, so he locked his phone, wanting to avoid seeing it altogether.
He threw his phone on the table, making quite a noise, but the people around him were chatting and no one noticed.
Qin Feng was about to pour himself a drink when, while searching for a bottle on the table, he inadvertently made eye contact with the person opposite him.
Pei Jin held the wine bottle with one hand, looking at him calmly.
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. The next second, Pei Jin across from him stretched out his index finger and gently pushed the turntable on the table.
The last bottle of wine was placed in front of Qin Feng.
At this moment, Qin Feng resembled a child, unsure whether he should say thank you.
These two words lingered in his throat, but Pei Jin had already lowered his head.
So Qin Feng simply swallowed those words.
-
As expected, Qin Feng drank too much after the wedding banquet.
The surrounding guests all walked out, but he rubbed his temples and remained seated.
Shangguan Feng, however, remained perfectly clear-headed. Under the guise of being a doctor, he did not touch a drop of alcohol.
He remained seated, as if giving a report, and said, "Your ex-husband also stood up; it seems he's preparing to leave. Hmm... that Omega followed him."
Qin Feng said, "No."
Shangguan Feng: "What do you mean, 'not'?"
"Not my ex-husband." Qin Feng, emphasizing each word.
They're not divorced yet; they're just arguing.
Shangguan Feng sighed, "Let's go, we've both gotten drunk."
Qin Feng followed behind him. It was noon, and the rain had stopped.
As soon as I stepped out of the banquet hall, I saw a person standing in the corridor outside.
Alpha looked down at his phone, seemingly waiting for someone.
Upon seeing him, Shangguan Feng immediately said, "I'm leaving now."
Qin Feng squatted on the spot, half-drunk, and only went over after Shangguan Feng had walked far away.
He and Pei Jin were a step apart, and he could faintly smell the other's men's cologne.
"I..."
He hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Pei Jin lowered his eyelashes slightly; he was a few centimeters taller than Qin Feng.
Let's find some time.
Qin Feng nervously, "What time?"
"When will we get the divorce certificate?" Pei Jin asked calmly.
Qin Feng was taken aback; his first thought was that he was hallucinating.
Just as he was about to ask again, the Omega from before came out of the restroom at the back of the corridor and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Pei Jin said, "It's nothing, let's go?"
Omega nodded.
Qin Feng there, stunned, as if he hadn't reacted.
-
After getting in the car, Chen Tian asked, "Was that Alpha someone you liked before?"
Pei Jin fastened his seatbelt and said, "Okay."
Chen Tian laughed and said, "He's very handsome. You have excellent taste. If you two really get divorced, can I pursue him?"
Pei Jin said calmly, "Give it a try."
Chen Tian raised an eyebrow. "Judging from your tone, you actually quite like it now."
Pei Jin: "Liking someone doesn't mean they're suitable."
He really liked Qin Feng.
He'd always teased him since they were little, calling him nicknames like "little old-fashioned" and "bookworm." When they got to high school, he was unexpectedly assigned to the same class as Qin Feng, and he continued to tease him.
All these years, Qin Feng like a block of ice.
No matter how hard he tries, he can't get it warm.
