"You... you're married?" Geng Jingqiu asked Qiu Ruoxi in complete disbelief.

Qiu Ruoxi nodded, "Yep!"

"When did you get married?"

"Almost a year ago!"

"So early!" Geng Jingqiu exclaimed in shock, "I thought you weren't married yet, and I was thinking that maybe some of our old classmates still had a chance!"

"But now it seems, if they find out you're married, who knows how many hearts will break!" Geng Jingqiu said in an exaggerated manner, "You have no idea how many classmates are still digging for your news, hoping to bring the goddess home..."

Qiu Ruoxi wasn't very good at making small talk. She was fine in business settings, but in situations like this, she could only force a smile in response.

Geng Jingqiu was aware that Qiu Ruoxi didn't like too much chit-chat, so she didn't say much more to her, and instead took a couple of glances at Ye Xunhuan, "Handsome guy, how did you manage to win Ruoxi over?"

"Well, since you called me handsome, I obviously used my looks to charm her!" Ye Xunhuan shamelessly replied.

Qiu Ruoxi was speechless but didn't expose Ye Xunhuan's lies, allowing him to talk nonsense there.

Qiu Ruoxi, being a woman, naturally understood that when outside, a man's pride must be maintained.

So, as long as Ye Xunhuan didn't say it was she who threw herself at him, it was fine.

Although Ye Xunhuan was somewhat out of line, he knew Qiu Ruoxi's temperament and didn't dare to say that Qiu Ruoxi threw herself at him.

"You're quite amusing!" Geng Jingqiu chuckled.

"You're interesting too!"

"Ruoxi, your husband is really funny, I've decided, I want to be friends with him!" Geng Jingqiu said to Qiu Ruoxi.

"Suit yourself!" Qiu Ruoxi said indifferently.

Qiu Ruoxi was a bit puzzled by Ye Xunhuan. This man seemed out of place, yet she had to admit he had some sort of charm that naturally drew women's attention.

Wasn't Geng Jingqiu an example of that?

Geng Jingqiu directly pestered Ye Xunhuan to exchange phone numbers, which left Ye Xunhuan rather helpless. Being handsome, wherever he went, he attracted attention like bees to honey, which was truly a headache.

After chatting for a while, Geng Jingqiu finally noticed the remaining hoops in Qiu Ruoxi's hand, "Ruoxi, you still like playing with these things?"

Qiu Ruoxi nodded a bit embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately sensed a story there, and couldn't help but ask, "Ruoxi, did you like playing with them before?"

"Of course, we used to have temple fairs here, and there was always someone setting up a stall, and Ruoxi would go almost every day!" Geng Jingqiu said lightly, "Though she rarely won anything!"

As she spoke, a look of sympathy appeared on Geng Jingqiu's face.

Perhaps because Geng Jingqiu revealed her embarrassing past, a faint blush crept up Qiu Ruoxi's cheeks, making her look shy and charming!

Ye Xunhuan, as if discovering a new continent, looked at Qiu Ruoxi, no wonder she couldn't resist these things, she loved it since childhood.

"Ruoxi, have you won anything yet?"

"Not yet!" Qiu Ruoxi replied helplessly.

"Let's play together, let me tell you, Zi Yan is really good, whichever you like, I'll have him help you!" Geng Jingqiu said generously!

"Yeah, Miss Qiu, just tell me what you fancy, and I'll help you get it," Ji Ziyan said with a smile.

"No need, I can do it myself!"

"Alright then, let me know if you need help," Ji Ziyan said warmly, "Jingqiu, want to play? I'll get you some..."

"Of course, I'll play, accompany Ruoxi, let's see who wins first!"

Ji Ziyan didn't say more and went straight to the booth to get thirty hoops.

Perhaps because of her companion's involvement, Qiu Ruoxi became even more excited and played with great gusto, but her skill didn't improve at all, while Geng Jingqiu at least managed to win one.

This made Qiu Ruoxi very unhappy inside. Always competitive, she couldn't allow herself to lose.

Finally, with Qiu Ruoxi's persistence, she won one, making her as happy as a child who just received praise from a teacher.

Not long after, Geng Jingqiu impatiently said, "I quit, I quit, it's so frustrating, only got one this whole time..."

"Which one do you like? I'll help you!" Ji Ziyan put his arm around Geng Jingqiu's shoulder and said gently.

"That big panda, and that little dolphin..."

After Ji Ziyan took note of them, he set out to do it himself.

Honestly, Ji Ziyan was quite skillful, anything Geng Jingqiu liked, he got them all.

The vendor thought he would make a fortune today, but who would have thought Ji Ziyan would win back all the money he spent on Geng Jingqiu.

Looking at the toys Ji Ziyan won for her, Geng Jingqiu was all smiles, "Ruoxi, if you like any, have Zi Yan help you, you saw he always scores with five hoops!"

"Yes, Miss Qiu, let me help you?"

"No need, my husband can do it, and he's very good, almost never misses!" Qiu Ruoxi said firmly.

How could she not see that Geng Jingqiu was showing off? But Qiu Ruoxi wasn't easy to bully, she directly claimed that Ye Xunhuan never missed!

"Really?" Geng Jingqiu said, full of doubt, "I've never seen anyone who never misses!"

Not just Geng Jingqiu, even Ji Ziyan looked at Ye Xunhuan with a doubtful and slightly scornful expression.

"Of course, it's true, just watch!"

With that, Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan, "Honey, help me?"

As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi gave Ye Xunhuan a subtle look as if saying, if you make me lose face, I will kill you today.

Understanding the message in Qiu Ruoxi's eyes, Ye Xunhuan felt frustrated inside.

Women, they're always comparing clothes and bags, and now even husbands.

However, since Qiu Ruoxi spoke up, Ye Xunhuan naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

Taking the hoop, Ye Xunhuan casually threw it without even looking.

"That can go in, I..."

Geng Jingqiu hadn't finished speaking when they heard a pop, and the hoop landed neatly.

Instantly, Geng Jingqiu's face looked as if she'd just swallowed a fly, utterly dreadful!

That... that went in?

"Yay!" Qiu Ruoxi cheered excitedly.

"See, I told you he's got perfect aim!" Qiu Ruoxi boasted.

"I think it was luck!" Geng Jingqiu said earnestly.

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan threw another hoop, which also landed perfectly.

At this moment, Geng Jingqiu's face turned even more intriguing, was this defying the odds?
