“We got engaged a while ago, but I didn't invite you because you were all busy. In a few months, we'll get married. This time, no matter how busy you are, I demand that all of you come for my wedding, or you'd better watch out," Larry threatened with mock severity, making everyone burst out laughing.
“Haha. Don't worry, Boss. No matter what happens, we'll definitely attend your wedding.”
“Yeah...”
Looking at the group of men, Joan was inexplicably moved.
They were a group of real men who had gone through countless life-and-death situations and received numerous honors. Yet, they were laughing like kids at this moment. There were not any wheeling-and-dealing and backstabbing, but only a sincere friendship.
Perhaps this was the bond among men which surpassed brotherhood.
Tears suddenly welled up in Joan's eyes as she looked at the group of adorable yet respectable men in front of her.
“Let's go, Boss. Let's see who's the best drinker now!” Leon proposed with a hearty laugh with a sincere look in his eyes. The rest then echoed.
“Let's go and drink!”
“We'd like to see how much liquor Boss can hold!”
“Imma see you guys get dead drunk!”
Larry was happy to be with his close friends and took a deep breath as he tried to hide the tears in his eyes. Then, he shouted, “Let¹ go then! Let's get wasted!”
That night, Larry and his friends put aside the troubles in their lives and drank to their hearts' content in a cheerful and carefree atmosphere.
Other than Joan, all of them were drunk.
As Joan looked at them getting so drunk that some even passed out under the table, she did not feel displeased. On the contrary, she was somehow moved and glad that time did not take away their genuineness, which had been buried deep in the depths of their hearts due to circumstances in life.
The sight of Larry sleeping soundly in her arms brought a faint smile to her face. After planting a kiss on his face, she fell asleep too.
