His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1502 - 422: Women Can’t Resist Men’s Sweet Talk Attacks (Part 2)
Everyone stood up again upon hearing this, except for Xiaomei 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 Xiaomei hadn’t looked at him even once since she arrived.
To Xiaomei’s left sat Qin Mu, who could see Xiaomei’s expression with a simple turn of her head. After a drink, Qin Mu wrapped an arm around Xiaomei’s shoulders, to which Xiaomei let out a soft sigh and continued to sit there gloomily.
Actually, Xiaomei 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 Xiaomei, 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 Xiaomei isn’t in a hurry to get married. Just a few days ago, a noblewoman suggested matching Xiaomei with a second-generation rich kid her age!"
After a few seconds of silence, Qin Mu glanced at Xiaomei and Zhao Huai and broke the uncomfortable silence that hung in the air.
However, once Qin Mu said this, everyone suddenly felt that something was amiss.
With a closer look at Xiaomei and Zhao Huai, they realized there was something 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 chimed 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 Xiaomei?"
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 Meng, couldn’t figure it out after watching for a while and finally couldn’t help but ask.
Xi Meng, however, was well aware, so she remained silent.
Given Zhao Huai and Xiaomei’s age, to Xi Meng, their emotional entanglements 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 Xiaomei 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 Xiaomei’s faces fell, especially Zhao Huai!
Xiaomei merely lowered her head with a bit of grievance, unwilling to speak further.
"It’s fine, they’re still young!"
Looking at Xiaomei, 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," Xiaomei 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 me!"
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 me in too!"
Listening to Xiaomei’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 Meng, who chuckled softly, silently took a sip of her drink.
"Drink it all, drink it all, finish everything!"
Xiaomei, seeing Xi Meng being so reserved, immediately suggested.
Xi Meng had no choice but to finish her drink completely.
Only then did they resume quietly eating and drinking.
An Nan reflexively helped Jiang Zhiyuan serve some food, and when he was about to pour himself another drink, she held the bottle: "Have some food first, you just recovered, drink less!"
