The Tragic Third Man's Invitation to a Party

The newlywed couple left the Civil Affairs Bureau happily with the red booklet. As soon as they got into the car, Shen Wanwan reached out her hand to Ji Jinxian.

"Hubby, give me your marriage certificate. I'll keep it for you."

Looking at her white and tender palm, Ji Jinxian didn't hesitate to put the marriage certificate on it. Shen Wanwan, who was holding the two marriage certificates, was delighted.

She took out her phone, took a picture of the marriage certificate, and posted it on her WeChat Moments. Then, she carefully put the marriage certificate away. Ji Jinxian felt itchy in his heart when he saw Shen Wanwan cherish the marriage certificate very much.

"Now, where would you like to go?" Ji Jinxian asked as he started the car. After thinking for a moment, Shen Wanwan replied.

"How about you accompany me shopping, hubby?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Jinxian remembered that he wanted to buy couple outfits and agreed immediately.

Although there was a shopping center nearby, but Ji Jinxian drove Shen Wanwan to the city's largest shopping restaurant so that they could eat at Yunshang Restaurant when they got tired.

After arriving at the largest shopping mall in the city, Ji Jinxian took Shen Wanwan straight to the fifth floor. The fifth floor of the shopping mall included men's and women's clothing, and there were many shops selling couple's clothing.

"Hubby, I just saw a supermarket downstairs..."

Shen Wanwan blinked her eyes and hinted eagerly. She had finished most of the snacks at home, and now that she saw the supermarket, Shen Wanwan wanted to replenish her stock.

"Go shopping after you pick your clothes."

After spending a few days together, Ji Jinxian thoroughly understood Shen Wanwan's personality. She was a soft and delicate foodie who couldn't be able to move when she saw food.

She especially loved junk food. If Ji Jinxian refused to buy it, she would continue to act coquettishly and call him "hubby" until he bought it.

"Hubby, you're so kind!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Shen Wanwan was very happy. If it weren't for being in public, she would have jumped up and kissed Ji Jinxian.

The two of them walked hand in hand through the bustling crowd, stopping occasionally to buy their favorite couple's outfits.

"Hubby, don't you think this rabbit is cute?"

Shen Wanwan stood in front of a set of bunny pajamas and smiled as she waved at Ji Jinxian. Ji Jinxian walked up with a shopping bag.

"Not bad."

"Hubby, can we buy this one? I also saw a set of Big Gray Wolf over there. It's perfect for couples!"

Shen Wanwan pointed at another set of clothes hanging not far away. A discerning salesperson came over to introduce these two sets of clothes to Shen Wanwan.

While the salesperson still was praising the two sets of clothes, Shen Wanwan did not wait for him to finish praising them before buying them. She liked the clothes, and since they were a couple's outfit, Ji Jinxian would not reject them.

She bought it directly. After paying, Shen Wanwan grabbed the bag and left the store with Ji Jinxian.

Shopping time was always short. After buying a lot of clothes and leaving them in the store for them to deliver, Shen Wanwan impatiently dragged Ji Jinxian to the supermarket downstairs.

As they entered the supermarket, Ji Jinxian pushed a shopping cart.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" he asked, planning to buy the ingredients for cooking later.

"I want to have stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, steamed pork ribs, and braised sea bass," Shen Wanwan happily reported the names of the dishes. Over time, she had gone from not trusting Ji Jinxian's cooking to being inseparable from him.

"Then let's go buy the ingredients," Ji Jinxian said, pushing the cart towards the meat section. However, when they passed by the snack area, Shen Wanwan could not walk anymore.

"Hubby, there's a new flavor for these potato chips. It's a chestnut chicken flavor. I haven't tried it yet," Shen Wanwan said.

"Hubby, we are out of this jelly at home. I want to eat more," she added.

"Honey, this chocolate is so good. Can I have two boxes?" she asked.

Ji Jinxian could not refuse the coquettish girl's request at all. Under Ji Jinxian's indulgence, the shopping cart that should have been filled with ingredients was now filled with snacks.

Meanwhile, Shen Wanwan was still a little unsatisfied with the snacks she had bought. Ji Jinxian sighed helplessly as he looked at the huge shopping cart full of snacks.

It wasn't a good thing for his wife to act coquettishly. There are certain things he can't refuse.

After buying the groceries, it was already half an hour later. Ji Jinxian carried the groceries and drove home. As soon as they reached home, he went straight to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Shen Wanwan hung up the clothes she had taken from the guard. Today, they had bought some couple outfits, so she arranged them by color and category before sitting down to rest. Just as she was about to relax, Ji Jinxian's phone rang.

Soft music played in the bedroom. Shen Wanwan put down her shopping bag and walked over to grab Ji Jinxian's phone. When she saw the caller ID, she walked out of the bedroom and shouted downstairs.

"Hubby, someone's calling you!"

Ji Jinxian's hands were covered in the sauce when he heard Shen Wanwan call him. He could not leave because he was cooking, so he could only shout back upstairs.

"Can you answer it for me?"

"Okay," Shen Wanwan replied. She looked at the person with the name "Luo Yan" for a while. She knew this person because he was Ji Jinxian's best friend who grew up together.

The two of them and the other four people were known as the Six Young Masters of Imperial Capital. Shen Wanwan knew about them because Luo Yan was the tragic third male lead in this story.

He secretly had a crush on the female lead, but the female lead did not like him. She repeatedly rejected him and broke Luo Yan's heart. Eventually, he left the country and never came back.

After quickly reviewing the plot in her mind, Shen Wanwan answered the call. Before she could speak, the person on the other end of the phone could not wait to speak.

"Brother Ji, the brothers want to gather tonight. Do you want to bring your wife along?"

"Luo Yan, it's me. Ji Jinxian is cooking in the kitchen and can't answer the phone right now," Shen Wanwan said when the other party finished speaking. The person on the other end of the phone became even more excited when he heard her voice.

"Sister-in-law, we've organized a gathering tonight. Do you want to come? There won't be anyone else, just us."

Luo Yan tried his best to invite Shen Wanwan. Since the other party had a good personality, Shen Wanwan did not refuse, but she did not agree directly.

"I'll ask Ji Jinxian. If he agrees, I'll go."

"Alright, sister-in-law. Hurry up and ask Brother Ji. He'll agree."

After chatting for a bit more, the two hung up. Shen Wanwan picked up both their phones and went downstairs.

As soon as she reached downstairs, the fragrance of food wafted from the kitchen, and Shen Wanwan could not help but swallow her saliva.

"Hubby, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Shen Wanwan ran into the kitchen eagerly, but she drooled as she looked at the braised beef brisket with tomatoes in the pot beside Ji Jinxian.

"The food will be ready soon, go wait outside."

Ji Jinxian's hands kept moving, and the spatula quickly turned over in the pot.

"Hubby, the person who called you just now was Luo Yan."

Shen Wanwan did not leave. Instead, she mentioned Luo Yan's invitation and ended with a request, "Hubby, can I come with you?"

"Sure," Ji Jinxian replied without hesitation. It was better to bring Shen Wanwan along, as it could avoid many troubles. After all, sometimes trouble might come looking for you even if you didn't provoke it.

The gathering time was set at eight o'clock in the evening. They set off quickly to the place after dinner. The gathering location was the largest entertainment venue in the world.
