Taking advantage of Si Ruohan’s words, Ji Huaiyu asked Guan Xinyue,
“Xiaoyue, you and Ajin have been dating for several years now, when are you going to have your wedding?”
Ji Huaiyu teased, “It’s been over four years since you graduated from university, why aren’t you married yet! Isn’t love supposed to be more precious than gold? After so many years, you must have had your fun! Some people your age already have kids big enough to run errands. ”
Si Ruohan also smirked.
“Yeah, when will I be able to have your wedding? Be careful I don’t overtake you!”
He had already overtaken her, even having a child, but Si Ruohan didn’t say it aloud.
Pei Xi looked at Si Ruohan’s expression and realized he seemed to have just said it casually, without a trace of sadness on his face, even smiling at her.
Had he really moved on?
Seeing Pei Xi looking at him, Si Ruohan’s smile deepened, playing with her fingers under the table.
Guan Xinyue didn’t expect Si Ruohan to say that, and paused for a moment, without answering.
Song Shaojin: “I also want to get married soon, but Xiaoyue’s family doesn’t agree. They want to keep Xiaoyue for a few more years. Anyway, we’re still young, so let’s wait a couple more years!”
Guan Xinyue opened her mouth, these were the words he said when they confirmed their relationship after graduating from university. Now they’re already this age, why is he still saying this?
Pei Xi just drank tea and ate melons on the side, without expressing any opinion.
A girl’s youth is so short. She’s already twenty-seven or twenty-eight, almost thirty, does she still think she’s young?
Think about advanced maternal age!
Some men, when they talk, they really don’t understand the pain.
Ji Huaiyu originally wanted to say something, but seeing Guan Xinyue’s unpleasant expression, he shut up.
At this time, the dishes were served. Oh well, let’s eat!
Si Ruohan saw that the shrimp on the table were very large, knowing that eating more shrimp is good for pregnant women, so he took a pair of gloves and started peeling shrimp.
After peeling them, he naturally put them in Pei Xi’s bowl, and Pei Xi smiled sweetly at him.
This guy, after reading some books, knew a lot about what’s good for pregnant women, so he had Aunt Liu buy a whole bunch of things.
Shrimp is Pei Xi’s least disliked food; she loves it.
It’s a pity it can’t be made spicy.
Guan Xinyue watched Si Ruohan peel shrimp for Pei Xi, while her own boyfriend showed no such consideration.
Her heart was filled with bitterness.
Si Ruohan had always been very considerate; she’d fully realized that a few years ago.
But not all boyfriends are so considerate.
The thoughtfulness she used to enjoy now belonged to someone else.
It seemed they could never go back.
Pei Xi picked up a shrimp that Si Ruohan had peeled and fed it to him.
“You eat too.”
Si Ruohan glanced at Pei Xi, smiled, and opened his mouth to eat.
Ji Huaiyu let out a strange “Eek!”
This display of affection was truly unbearable to watch.
“Hey Ah Han, can you take it easy? We still have some single guys here! Can’t you consider our feelings?”
Si Ruohan laughed, “Then you guys should hurry up and find someone too!”
Guan Xinyue’s breath hitched, she gripped her chopsticks tightly, and looked at Si Ruohan and the others.
Suddenly remembering something, Guan Xinyue said to Song Shaojin beside her,
“Brother Shaojin, didn’t we just say that when Brother Ruohan arrives, we’ll toast him and his wife?”
Song Shaojin nodded,
“Yes, we should toast them. Come on, Ji Huaiyu, pour the wine.”
The wine was next to Ji Huaiyu.
Ji Huaiyu seemed to have just remembered, and Song Shaojin’s reminder brought it to her mind.
“That’s right, that’s right, Ah Han, today is such a joyous occasion, you should drink a few more glasses. Sister-in-law, please feel free to drink as you please!”
After saying that, Ji Huaiyu got up and personally poured wine for everyone.
They didn’t have a waiter serving them.
Bai Minglang raised his hand to cover his glass and glanced at Ji Huaiyu.
“I’ll drink tea instead of wine!”
Ji Huaiyu paused.
“Oh, right, I forgot you’re a doctor.”
Actually, to be honest, he shouldn’t drink alcohol, but since he chose to take a vacation, he could have a little.
Then Ji Huaiyu walked past Bai Minglang and continued pouring wine for the next person.
When it was Pei Xi’s turn, Pei Xi didn’t stop him, but as soon as Ji Huaiyu finished pouring, Si Ruohan placed the wine glass in front of Pei Xi in front of him.
And in front of Pei Xi was still the same cup of tea from the beginning.
Guan Xinyue was unhappy.
“Brother Ruohan, that’s for both of you. It’s not very nice for you to drink alone.”
Si Ruohan looked up at her.
“Xi Xi doesn’t drink alcohol, so what’s wrong with me drinking for her? Besides, I didn’t bring a driver. Xi Xi has to drive back later! I’ll drink.”
Si Ruohan had already asked Pei Xi and knew that Pei Xi also had a driver’s license, so even though he knew he was going to drink tonight, he didn’t bring a driver.
Seeing Pei Xi’s eagerness, he planned to let her drive more, and once she got used to it, he would give her a few cars later.
Pei Xi said that she hadn’t touched a car since she got her driver’s license! While her pregnancy was still in its early stages, she wanted to try driving more; the road conditions here were okay, she just needed to be careful.
Pei Xi ate her food peacefully, not worrying about anything, knowing that Si Ruohan would take care of everything for her.
Si Ruohan:
“If you don’t want to drink, you can have A-Jin drink for you. We’re all friends here, no one’s forcing you to drink.”
Ji Huaiyu nodded:
“That’s right, what kind of relationship do we have? If you don’t want to drink, no one’s forcing you. Look at A-Ming, he’s using tea instead of wine.”
Song Shaojin glanced at his girlfriend, raised his hand and took her cup.
“If you didn’t want to drink, you should have said so earlier. Okay, I’ll drink this one for you.”
Ji Huayu clapped her hands,
“Alright, everyone, raise your glasses and toast Si Ruohan and his wife, wishing them a long and happy life together.” The fact
that Si Ruohan brought Pei Xi to meet them meant that he was serious and not just bringing someone along for show.
Therefore, even if those present had any objections, they all offered their congratulations.
Pei Xi used tea instead of wine, and Si Ruohan downed two cups of wine without any change in expression. After that, Ji Huaiyu and Song Shaojin would toast Si Ruohan from time to time.
Pei Xi noticed that Si Ruohan would put some food on his plate after each glass of wine he drank; she didn’t want to bring a drunkard home.
Si Ruohan, thinking Pei Xi was concerned, quietly told her he was fine.
Pei Xi could only roll her eyes inwardly.
Si Ruohan was right; this amount of wine was nothing compared to the drinks he had at business dinners.
They all knew each other well and wouldn’t go too far.
Except for Ji Huaiyu, the others, though in the same city, were all busy and hadn’t gotten together in a long time. Now that they met, they chatted freely.
Pei Xi didn’t say much; no one asked her anything, so she quietly ate.
Worried she might be reserved, Si Ruohan would put food on her plate whenever her gaze lingered on a particular dish, or turn it away from her. He also promptly refilled her soup when she finished it. Pei Xi
focused on eating and drinking, and soon she was full. She had eaten a full bowl of rice, two bowls of soup, and a lot of vegetables—she was very satisfied.
The f ood here was delicious, and she ate to her heart’s content.
Si Ruohan saw Pei Xi pat her stomach and asked with a smile,
“Are you stuffed?”
Pei Xi shook her head:
“No, not stuffed, but I’m full. The food here is very good; we’ll come again next time.”
Si Ruohan nodded,
“I’ll definitely bring you next time.”
Ji Huaiyu, seeing that Pei Xi liked the food, generously invited her,
“Sister-in-law, I’ll definitely give you a discount if you come.”
Si Ruohan: “Why don’t you just say it’s free?”
Ji Huaiyu: “You’re so generous, why would I need to save you money? Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to you, President Si?”
Guan Xinyue, watching Pei Xi eat so much without regard for her image, said with a forced smile,
“Miss Pei, aren’t you worried about gaining weight from eating so much? Girls should pay attention to their figure.”
Pei Xi sighed inwardly; she really wanted some peace and quiet, but couldn’t find any!
Si Ruohan gently said to Pei Xi,
“Don’t mind her, she’s talking nonsense. You’re just right. As long as you’re healthy, that’s more important than anything else.”
Pei Xi had such a great figure, with curves in all the right places and a slender build. Si Ruohan felt he could never get enough of hugging her.
Si Ruohan had only planned to have a meal with them, but Guan Xinyue suggested going to karaoke, which Si Ruohan declined.
“I’ve been working all day, I’m tired, I don’t want to stay up late, I want to go home and rest early. You guys can go have fun, we’re leaving now.”
It would be Pei Xi’s rest time later, and she couldn’t stay up late now that she was pregnant.
Si Ruohan wasn’t going, and neither did Ji Huaiyu and Bai Minglang. Especially Bai Minglang, he had been performing surgery all day and was exhausted. He finally had some time to have a meal with them, and now he had to stay up late with them? Nobody would go. It was
Pei Xi’s first time driving such a luxury car, and she was incredibly nervous, her nerves on edge.
Si Ruohan chuckled, “Relax, there aren’t many cars here, and the road is wide. Just drive slowly.”
Pei Xi didn’t speak, still looking ahead.
Finally home, Pei Xi breathed a sigh of relief, “Finally home! I’m never driving again, it’s too scary.”
She was worried a car would suddenly appear from the side at any moment.
Si Ruohan smiled and helped her unbuckle her seatbelt, patting her cheek.
“Okay, then I’ll get you a driver from now on. Wherever you want to go, the driver can take you.”
