Qiao Yanhui said in a low voice, “There’s no need to ask. Leave now.” With that, he was about to leave.
But how could Deng Jiangming let him go just like that? He stood in front of Qiao Yanhui and stopped him. “If you don’t explain yourself today, we won’t leave.”
Qiao Yanhui instantly emitted a murderous aura, and Deng Jiangming retreated with trepidation. This side to Qiao Yanhui shocked Deng Jiangming. Ever since they became good friends, Qiao Yanhui had never revealed such a murderous aura to them! This made them even more worried.
At this moment, Qiao Yanhui suddenly regretted it. Why did he take the initiative to look for them? According to their personalities, they would definitely ask. If he didn’t look for them, he might have been able to avoid them until after the wedding. However, Deng Jiangming had already sensed that something was wrong. In fact, even if Qiao Yanhui didn’t come today, he would have found out immediately.
The three of them were in a deadlock for a while before Qiao Yanhui finally relaxed.
Deng Jiangming heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the side. “What happened? Tell us.”
Qiao Yanhui glanced at them coldly. These two were so annoying. He said, “I’m getting married!” His tone was as casual as if he was just saying that the weather was good today.
“Huh?” However, this time, the usually calm Deng Jiangming was stunned. His face was filled with shock and dismay.
Hua Yuncheng wasn’t any better. His charming eyes widened in fear.
Qiao Yanhui continued to drink the peach blossom wine calmly. As expected, the wine brewed by his wife was delicious! However, it was a waste to let them drink it.
When the two of them finally came back to their senses, they saw that Qiao Yanhui had already finished the peach blossom wine.
“Qiao Yanhui, return my peach blossom wine!” Hua Yuncheng said fiercely.
Qiao Yanhui ignored his demand and warned, “If you guys want to return to the capital alive, shut your mouths.”
Hua Yuncheng looked hurt. “You actually threatened your buddies for a woman?”
Deng Jiangming also sighed. “I didn’t expect you to want to get married!”
The God of War, who made people tremble with fear, killed people like flies on the battlefield and had outstanding military achievements. The God of Killing, who had always been abstinent from women in the past, actually fell for a woman! Because the three of them were on good terms, almost everyone thought that Qiao Yanhui was gay, and that the two of them were his gay buddies!
Hua Yuncheng was interested. After all, this was big news. He asked curiously, “Which young lady is so unlucky to have caught your eye? Is she good-looking? How is she compared to Mu Weiqing? When are you getting married?”
Qiao Yanhui couldn’t be bothered to answer Hua Yuncheng and only said coldly, “Don’t disturb us.”
Deng Jiangming was displeased. “Your marriage is such a big deal. We’re buddies. Can’t we go?”
Qiao Yanhui looked at the suddenly dissatisfied Deng Jiangming in surprise and said helplessly, “I’ll inform you on the day of the wedding. If you dare to disturb my wife and my life before that… don’t blame me for not reminding you.” With that, Qiao Yanhui left without looking back.
Deng Jiangming and Hua Yuncheng were left behind in shock. Hua Yuncheng finally exclaimed, “Qiao Yanhui, you’re shameless!”
Deng Jiangming, on the other hand, had a mixed expression. He had thought of things on a deeper level. From how protective Qiao Yanhui was of her, the woman he was going to marry must have an ordinary identity or perhaps she had no powerful background at all. But in this case, how could the people in the capital let them off the hook?!
From Qiao Yanhui’s attitude just now, he clearly wanted to protect that woman, but how could Qiao Yanhui protect that woman in this complicated situation? Deng Jiangming didn’t understand why Qiao Yanhui wanted to find trouble for himself. There was no need to!
In the end, Deng Jiangming turned around and left gloomily. Hua Yuncheng hurriedly followed. Neither of them was in the mood to enjoy tasty food. They definitely wouldn’t let the people in the capital find out about this. As buddies, they definitely had to cover up this news for Qiao Yanhui.
Since Qiao Yanhui had decided to marry that woman, they couldn’t object, nor did they dare to object. After all, that was the first time Qiao Yanhui truly cared about someone and the first time he revealed a blissful expression! How could they not help him?
On the other hand, Qiao Yanhui’s expression was a little gloomy. It probably wouldn’t be long before the capital received the news. No matter how well Deng Jiangming and Hua Yuncheng tried to hide it, there were too many people on the other side. There were many factions watching him. Qiao Yanhui knew that it was only a matter of time before he was discovered, and what he was most worried about now was whether the peace could last until the day of the wedding…
