Chapter 40 - Exchanging Cups*

[*T/N: 交杯酒 jiao bei jiu: formal exchange of cups of wine between bride and groom as traditional wedding ceremony]

As night fell, the shadow cast by the candlelight swayed on the paper panels of the window.

Fu Wu Tian walked into the inner room with a steady pace. At a glance, he saw An Zi Ran sitting on the edge of the bed. The youth's hands were placed on his lap, and the calm face was illuminated by the candle. His heart thumped. Then he walked over.

An Zi Ran noticed someone coming in and looked up. He saw the handsome and tall Fu Wu Tian approaching, and his hands clenched slightly. Even he could not explain it. They were obviously acting, but he was really a bit nervous. He already had this feeling when Fu Wu Tian carried him down from the sedan chair.

An Zi Ran did not want to admit that he was experiencing the feelings of a newly wedded bride. But the thumping of his heart told him the truth of the situation.

"Wang fei." Fu Wu Tian stood in front of him and called him.

An Zi Ran glared at him. The first time, Fu Wu Tian called him that they were in front of everyone, so An Zi Ran could not refute him and not give him face. But he even dared to call him that a second time. Now they were in private. There was only the two of them. Even if they were acting they didn't have to put on a show all the time.

"Wang ye, although I married you, don't forget our agreement."

Fu Wu Tian nodded incomparably serious. "Wang fei, I have not forgotten."

An Zi Ran: "..."

Fu Wu Tian reached out to him and said, "Come out with me for a bit, I will introduce you to a few people."

An Zi Ran thought he had heard sounds from outside, and guessed that a group of people had come to disturb the bridal chamber. Hearing Fu Wu Tian's words he understood what he meant, and couldn't help but accidentally arch his eyebrow.

Fu Wu Tian did not wait for him to answer. Using a strength that would not hurt him, Fu Wu Tian grabbed one of his arms and gently pulled him up. The two went out together.

The soldiers were pushing each other forward. No one wanted to be the first one to stick his head out. The most tragic one was that heckling youth. Because he was the youngest of them all, he was taken for granted by them. On this happy day, he was crying and sulking. Guan Su gave him a teasing word and everyone was ungrateful towards him.

When Fu Wu Tian and An Zi Ran appeared, they quieted down in an instant. As if they were back in the army again, they all stood ramrod straight. All eyes were twinkling as they aimed at An Zi Ran.

It's not that they've never seen An Zi Ran. Everyone saw An Zi Ran when he first visited the Fu palace, however, the perspective at that time was of a completely unrelated stranger. Now it was different. This person will become the general's wang fei and spend the rest of his life with the general.

"These people are all my subordinates. They will come by often in the future. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with them, so that you can call them by name when you next see them." Fu Wu Tian spoke his purpose and once again caused An Zi Ran to arch his brow.

They were only putting on a show; did they need to be so serious?

Despite his doubts, An Zi Ran did not show it.

The gathered crowd was also very surprised. Only now did they know that the general wanted to introduce them to the wang fei. To be so unofficially serious, they were surprised by the turn of events. They immediately took measure in their hearts. It seemed that wang ye was very likely to be serious. Originally, they thought that there may be something going on behind the scenes, for example, the lao wang ye was forcing Fu Wu Tian or the like, but it would seem they were thinking along the wrong path.
