Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO

Testing Gu Feng's alcohol tolerance was just Lin Langsheng seizing an opportunity to further his own speculations.

Before this, actually, when he had shaken hands with Gu Feng, Gu Feng's calloused palms had surprised him.

Chefs, gymnasts, baggage handlers, and the like might develop calluses due to long-term training and work requirements.

But as a former soldier who had seen combat, Lin Langsheng was well aware of what severe calluses on the index and middle fingers meant.

This was the hand of someone who had held a gun for years!

And it was notable on both hands!

That meant Gu Feng wasn't just accustomed to using his right hand, he might be ambidextrous with gun use!

In these peaceful times, soldiers who can train and have access to firearms for long periods are only Special Forces!

What was somewhat unsettling was that Lin Yue had said Gu Feng had been discharged from the army for quite some time, but Lin Langsheng didn't believe it!

Because if Gu Feng had truly been discharged for several years, his hands' calluses would have softened over time, not remaining so pronounced!

He was certain Gu Feng must have used firearms frequently and for extended periods in the recent past!

What did it mean for someone supposedly discharged from the military to have used firearms excessively in the recent past?

Maybe, he hadn't been discharged at all, perhaps his identity was disguised, such as having entered a secret unit years ago?

If that were the case, setting aside Gu Feng's background and strength, just proving he was Special Forces was enough for Lin Langsheng to approve of him.

Having served in the military themselves, Lin Langsheng and Lin Hai actually preferred officials over capitalists for their daughter's suitor.

This was also why the Lin Family had rejected numerous capitalist alliances over the years; they preferred their daughter to marry someone within the system.

Introducing a local capitalist suitor to Lin Yue was the last resort Lin Langsheng could take for his brother's family.

But now, the prospective son-in-law Lin Yue had brought home had raised Lin Langsheng's expectations.

Perhaps with the issue of pressing marriage, they could take their time and not rush excessively.

"Since the Su Family has already called off the engagement, there's no need for you and Feng to hide your marriage certificate. It's reasonable for a legally married couple to live together," Lin Langsheng said, looking at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue was torn between laughter and tears.

How did the topic loop back again?

And now it was his uncle personally taking the field, which was equivalent to sealing her and Gu Feng into a coffin—this was a dead end!

This was it!

"I haven't even put on makeup yet, let me fix that." Lin Yue felt overwhelmed and quickly sought an excuse to discuss with Gu Feng their unexpected script.

Gu Feng was talking with Lin Yu when Lin Yue grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.

"Change of plans," Lin Yue said with a furrowed brow. "The previous plan where everyone does their own thing might change. To test the genuineness of our relationship, we might have to live together, and it will be in my family home!"

Gu Feng had an odd expression upon hearing this, "With this issue, how do you expect me to respond? In principle, as a man, of course, I'm all for living together. After all, I won't suffer any loss."

"Wishful thinking!" Lin Yue glared at him. This guy was certainly straightforward.

Gu Feng laughed and said, "If you don't want to live under your mother's scrutiny, I can say I have my own place in Jiangcheng. After all, I'm not marrying into your family. It's a bit unreasonable to move into your home, so you can come out and live with me."

"We'll just have to go with that for now," Lin Yue felt this solution was feasible as long as they weren't under her mother's watchful eye. They could share a roof, but not necessarily the same room.

When they returned, the wedding had already started, and Lin Yue's third uncle's family was on stage giving speeches.

Gu Feng would occasionally pour drinks and clink glasses with Lin Langsheng.

Initially reserved and feigning old-fashioned reserve, Lin Langsheng succumbed to the assault of Gu Feng's continuous offerings of white liquor, and couldn't help reminiscing about his past experiences in battle, quickly finding common ground with another veteran.

Especially after the two, in their inebriation, began comparing their bullet scars on their abdomens and backs, they felt a deeper camaraderie and hit it off even better.

In Lin Yue's mind, the most difficult member of the Lin Family to deal with was her eldest uncle, but to her surprise, Gu Feng had already become like brothers with him during their first meeting, which she found almost unbelievable.

When Gu Feng felt the time was right, he mentioned to Mrs. Lin, "Mom, I have a house in Jiangcheng. Little Yue will move in with me, and you're welcome to visit whenever you like."

Liu Yan, seeing that her son-in-law was getting along with her eldest brother and ensuring that their cohabitation would authenticate the marriage, decided there was no need to nitpick the details.

She was quite satisfied with her first impression of the son-in-law.

Laughing, she said, "Alright, later on, I'll ask Little Yue to send me the location so I can come over for a visit."

Lin Yue couldn't help but glance at Gu Feng, sending him a look of admiration.

It was about time when Lin Yu turned to his father, Lin Langsheng, and said, "Dad, I'm going out to drink with my brother-in-law tonight, so I won't be coming back later."

Lin Langsheng nodded his approval.

Lin Qin's husband, Xu Dong, still needed the Lin Family's influence in Jiangcheng.

Without saying much, it was understood that Lin Langsheng's network, especially in official circles, would definitely be expanded for his benefit.

As Lin Langsheng's only son, Lin Yu's circle of friends consisted of local government officials' offspring, and since Xu Dong was young, it would be good for him to befriend these individuals.

He had already arranged to introduce his brother-in-law Xu Dong to his circle that evening.

Lin Yue promptly suggested, "Why don't you also take your oldest brother-in-law along?"

Gu Feng had just done her a favor, and she had previously mentioned that he could leverage the Lin Family's connections in Jiangcheng to expand his own network—it was a reciprocal arrangement.

Respect for his uncle-in-law and father grew in Lin Yu's eyes based on their camaraderie.

"Oldest brother-in-law, can you still drink?" he asked.

While Gu Feng could drink, he didn't feel the need to join because Lin Yu and Xu Dong's circle was certainly several years younger.

Before he could refuse, Lin Yue quickly leaned in and whispered in Gu Feng's ear, "Find an excuse to not come home tonight, otherwise my mom will go check out where you live."

Gu Feng was startled for a moment; his housing situation hadn't been settled yet.

He could only smile at Lin Yu and say, "I can drink."

Lin Yu was definitely keen on having more friends at the table. Content that his cousin Lin Yue was letting her husband join them for drinks, he said, "Great, then after this ends, we'll go together."

At that moment, Gu Feng's phone rang.

It was the same unfamiliar number from earlier in the day. He hadn't saved it, but he remembered the number.

"Hello?"

Ye Wei chuckled, "Bro, are you done with your things? Let's go drinking when it gets dark. I'll take you to have some fun at Shili Foreign Field."

It was already past 7 in the evening.

But since Gu Feng had just agreed to go with Lin Yu, he had no choice but to refuse Ye Wei, "I'm not free, another time."
