Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 520 - 476: Spill It and Let Us Have a Laugh
After the old couple left, the three buddies relaxed a bit more.
By this time, everyone had almost finished eating, so the trio started chatting while drinking.
Lin Yi and Li Huiqun both pushed their white wine towards Li Wentao and picked up their beers.
Seeing this gesture, Li Wentao couldn’t help but chuckle.
He was all too familiar with this behavior. Every time they went out drinking, these two would push their drinks to him, given his decent drinking capacity.
Because of this, Li Wentao didn’t refuse and poured both drinks into his glass and drank them in a few gulps.
Perhaps sensing that Li Wentao intentionally avoided discussing business matters, neither Lin Yi nor Li Huiqun brought up anything about the Nuclear Group at the table.
They were merely reminiscing about the past.
With three rounds of drinks and five dishes behind them, and two bottles of beer down, Lin Yi was already tipsy, and the conversation shifted from past stories to women.
"Hey, boss, did you know? I really admire you. Who could have imagined that our seemingly ordinary sister-in-law turned out to be such a beauty? But come on, boss, didn’t you ever worry that if she turned out to be ugly, what would you do?"
Under the influence of alcohol, Li Wentao also seemed to selectively forget about the Nuclear Group.
After hearing this, Li Huiqun nodded in agreement.
He truly admired Lin Yi for this incident.
Who would have thought that the plain girl in their class hiding for three years would turn out to be a campus beauty?
Moreover, the boss had the foresight to see the essence beneath those huge, ugly glasses!
In response to such a question, Lin Yi just chuckled:
"Come on, who am I? What kind of person can escape my observation?
Let me tell you, the first time I saw your sister-in-law, I felt something was off.
But back then, I was all about studying and wasn’t too concerned about romance; otherwise, I would have already won her over."
However, hearing Lin Yi’s words, he was immediately met with two big eyerolls and a wave of boos. Who didn’t know that you, Lin the slacker, lounged around all day? The word "study" has nothing to do with you.
Seeing this behavior from the other two, Lin Yi became even more smug, laughing quietly and then looking at Li Wentao and asking:
"Let’s not talk about me, it’ll only make you admire me more. I heard you found a girlfriend too, so? When are you bringing her over for us to meet?"
The happy atmosphere among the three suddenly changed when Lin Yi said this, and Li Wentao’s face turned a bit gloomy.
Seeing this, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun exchanged a glance, the smiles on their faces slowly fading, then looked back at him, somewhat uncertain:
"Uh, with that expression, did you break up?"
After all, there was no beating around the bush among the buddies; they spoke directly and straightforwardly.
So Li Huiqun bluntly dropped his question.
However, upon hearing this, Li Wentao gave a self-mocking smile, picked up his beer, and downed it in one gulp.
From his demeanor, it was clear that Li Huiqun’s guess was right.
It seems this guy probably broke up, otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting this way.
"Damn. Can you not be so manly? It’s just a breakup, find another one, is it really that big of a deal? Come on, let’s drink, and tell us what happened so we can enjoy a laugh."
Li Huiqun seemed indifferent to it; a breakup was nothing, just find another one.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere, right?
Therefore, he didn’t take it seriously and started joking.
However, that’s probably the mindset of a perennial bachelor, as every breakup leaves a deep imprint on those involved.
Judging by Li Wentao’s expression, it was clear that he was heartbroken.
But hearing this, Li Wentao’s face became more bitter. After downing another beer, he smiled bitterly and waved it off:
"Stop saying nonsense, will you? We’re fine, I assure you."
However, although he said this, the helplessness on his face was evident, and Li Huiqun and Lin Yi, who grew up with him, could tell that things weren’t as simple as he claimed.
At this moment, Li Wentao’s feelings were indeed as they suspected.
"Damn! They didn’t break up! Damn it, we agreed to be single, but you both secretly got girlfriends. Where’s the love? Where’s the loyalty..."
On hearing this, Li Huiqun rolled his eyes indignantly and mumbled to himself, before turning his gaze back to Li Wentao:
"Hey, your expression doesn’t fool me. Seeing you like this, even if you didn’t break up, there must have been a fight.
But man, you’ve got to think big. What’s the big deal? As long as it’s not a fundamental issue, you should make the first move to reconcile."
It’s noteworthy that this guy, who has never been in a relationship, had quite the convincing tone when dispensing his unique brand of advice.
But Lin Yi, listening from the side, just rolled his eyes repeatedly: 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"You’re a perpetual bachelor, where do you get the courage to say that? But by the way, I heard that matchmakers are constantly pestering your family, didn’t your mom mention anything about arranging dates?"
Hearing this from Lin Yi, Li Huiqun’s face turned crestfallen.
This was really hitting a sore spot; just as the boss said, his family’s doorbell was about to be ruined by matchmakers.
Especially since returning home, those people seemed to have come out of nowhere, seemingly living permanently at his house.
That’s why he ran out.
"Who wants that? If it was like you, that’d be different, but look at this guy, such a sour expression. Clearly, you’ve had a fight, so what’s the use of giving myself extra work?"
After speaking, he turned his gaze back to Li Wentao, with a mischievously teasing expression:
"Heh heh, seeing your face, something must’ve gone down. Come on, tell me what happened so I can have a laugh, what did you argue about?"
