Everyone stood up again upon hearing this, except for Xiaoi who felt a little awkward but still raised her glass.
She and Zhao Huai hadn’t made up yet.
Zhao Huai kept glancing at her, although Xiaoi hadn’t looked at him even once since she arrived.
To Xiaoi’s left sat Qin Mu, who could see Xiaoi’s expression with a simple turn of her head. After a drink, Qin Mu wrapped an arm around Xiaoi’s shoulders, to which Xiaoi let out a soft sigh and continued to sit there gloomily.
Actually, Xiaoi was quite happy inside that Jiang Zhiyuan and An Nan finally registered their marriage; she was happy for them.
But because of Zhao Huai, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Yet, it was not enough to ruin this dinner for her.
"Speaking of which, among our peers, Zhao Huai, you are the only one who hasn’t registered yet. Hurry and get it done with classmate Chen Xiaoi, secure the relationship; that’s the safest!"
Jiang Zhiyuan sat down with one hand resting on An Nan’s chair, emphasizing to Zhao Huai as if he were the elder.
"Our Xiaoi isn’t in a hurry to get married. Just a few days ago, a noblewoman suggested matching Xiaoi with a second-generation rich kid her age!"
After a few seconds of silence, Qin Mu glanced at Xiaoi and Zhao Huai and broke the uncomfortable silence that hung in the air.
However, once Qin Mu said this, everyone suddenly felt that sothing was amiss.
With a closer look at Xiaoi and Zhao Huai, they realized there was sothing off between them.
"Actually, there are quite a few girls who are interested in Zhao Huai."
Mu Yichen, feeling that his wife’s words made his buddy look bad, lowered his voice and chid in.
In an instant, Qin Mu shot him a fierce glare. Qin Mu raised her eyes, failing to understand, and looked at her calmly.
"There are indeed many girls chasing after Zhao Huai, but isn’t Zhao Huai just fond of our Xiaoi?"
Qin Mu asked him.
Mu Yichen had never appeared so timid in front of others, giving a slight nod, not daring to voice another opinion.
"Hey! What’s going on?"
Helian Hao, seated next to Xi ng, couldn’t figure it out after watching for a while and finally couldn’t help but ask.
Xi ng, however, was well aware, so she remained silent.
Given Zhao Huai and Xiaoi’s age, to Xi ng, their emotional entanglents were just a youthful drift.
They might argue over trivial things and separate, but they would quickly reconcile.
"Don’t you guys know? These two immature ones are sulking over who should propose first!"
"Who are you calling immature?"
Just as Qiao Yi finished explaining to Helian Hao, Zhao Huai and Xiaoi simultaneously challenged him.
Qiao Yi instinctively leaned back with an exaggerated expression as he looked at them: "You show great chemistry right now!"
Zhao Huai and Xiaoi’s faces fell, especially Zhao Huai!
Xiaoi rely lowered her head with a bit of grievance, unwilling to speak further.
"It’s fine, they’re still young!"
Looking at Xiaoi, An Nan suddenly laughed and said.
With their ages not differing much and appearing very compatible, An Nan felt that they truly belonged to each other.
Upon hearing "still young," Xiaoi couldn’t help but chuckle: "Do you still think I’m a kid? Qinqin has already had two kids!"
Once again, the room fell into silence, while Qin Mu felt a pang in her heart.
Even Mu Yichen furrowed his brows: "Madam Mu truly loves !"
Everyone...
No one wanted to banter with Mr. Mu anymore. In certain aspects, he was truly unmatched!
Who said we don’t love each other? We were talking about having kids!
Mr. Mu toyed with the glass in his hand, then turned to Madam Mu, who said nothing but forced a smile at him, before lifting her glass to take a sip.
"I’ll drink with you! We’re still young!"
"Count in too!"
Listening to Xiaoi’s words to Qin Mu, Helian Hao also raised his glass.
So the three peers raised their glasses together, with Qin Mu thinking she just wanted a sip to ease the awkwardness.
An Nan and Secretary Xi watched from the side, unable to suppress a bitter smile: "That’s a bit hurtful! Makes it seem like we’re old, so we’ll have a drink too!"
Saying that, An Nan clinked glasses with Xi ng, who chuckled softly, silently took a sip of her drink.
"Drink it all, drink it all, finish everything!"
Xiaoi, seeing Xi ng being so reserved, imdiately suggested.
Xi ng had no choice but to finish her drink completely.
Only then did they resu quietly eating and drinking.
An Nan reflexively helped Jiang Zhiyuan serve so food, and when he was about to pour himself another drink, she held the bottle: "Have so food first, you just recovered, drink less!"
