Chapter 650: Extra 063 Mu Cidian, you really know how to take care of your wife (Third update)
Colourful balloons were dancing in the sky.
The entire wedding scene was very shocking.
Although the scene was chaotic, the cheers never ceased.
Only Yin Qin could turn a wedding into such a laughing stock.
When the ceremony ended, everyone went to the banquet hall next door for a meal.
Xin Zaozao followed the crowd out.
At the moment, because the sunroof above was still open, a cold breeze blew in.
Xin Zaozao huddled herself tightly.
Since she was walking back, Lei Qian and Mu Cidian were walking in front of her.
Lei Qian in front suddenly sneezed.
“Cold?” Mu Cidian asked.
“A little bit.” Lei Qian replied.
“Come closer.” Mu Cidian drew her into his arms.
Xin Zaozao just watched them.
She watched as they walked right in front of her.
There were many people at the moment, and if she stopped, it would cause a congestion.
So she kept close behind them.
They walked into the banquet hall next door.
All the banquet seats were fully prepared.
Staff checked the guest list and arranged seating.
Xin Zaozao was invited to a private room in the banquet.
As she walked in, she saw Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian already sitting there.
Ji Baijian’s status was now different, and he seemed to have been absent from the ceremony, but given his close relationship with Yin Qin, he couldn’t possibly have skipped it.
She sat down next to Song Zhizhi and greeted Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian nodded slightly in response.
Then Ji Baili walked into the room and casually sat down next to Xin Zaozao.
Looking at Xin Zaozao’s figure, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Can’t you give me a surprise this big?”
Xin Zaozao replied, “To let you give up, right?”
“No, more like heartbroken.” Ji Baili replied seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Cidian and Lei Qian appeared in the room.
Xin Zaozao didn’t have to think to know that this was certainly Yin Qin’s deliberate arrangement.
Mu Cidian looked at the familiar faces in the room with a polite smile, then helped Lei Qian with her chair and courteously let her sit first, before sitting down next to her.
Song Zhizhi watched Mu Cidian.
Ji Baili also watched Mu Cidian.
Then both of them couldn’t help but look at Lei Qian who was sitting next to Mu Cidian.
Mu Cidian looked quite comfortable, “Lei Qian, my wife.”
“What?!” This rather exaggerated exclamation came from Yin Qin, who suddenly walked in from outside the door.
He changed into a new suit and appeared in the room.
Mu Cidian turned to look at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin incredulously inquired, “Are you sure she’s your wife, not your girlfriend?”
“Mm-hmm.” Mu Cidian nodded.
Yin Qin looked at Lei Qian, causing Lei Qian to feel a bit embarrassed.
Mu Cidian took the initiative to hold Lei Qian’s hand, “We’ll invite you all to the wedding banquet later.”
Yin Qin stared at the sight of Mu Cidian and Lei Qian holding hands, then turned to look at Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao looked back at Yin Qin, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Holy crap. I thought the baby in your belly was Mu Cidian’s!” Ying Qin blurted out.
Before Xin Zaozao could speak,
Lei Qian quickly interjected, “It’s not Cidian’s, it’s Song Lifei’s.”
It seemed she didn’t like hearing Yin Qin speak in that way, and her tone was slightly unhappy.
“Song Lifei? Your clingy companion?” Yin Qin still didn’t believe it.
Xin Zaozao didn’t respond.
She had taken advantage of Song Lifei before, and now she did not want so many people to misunderstand.
She just smiled, “I’ll invite you all to a banquet too.”
The banquet she was referring to was for her baby’s birth.
“You two, that’s it?” Yin Qin looked at them.
He was somewhat regretful.
He had initially intended Xin Zaozao to be a bridesmaid, but she refused, saying that her current status did not allow for it. He thought at the time that she must have a boyfriend, and it would be inconvenient for her to be paired with others as a bridesmaid or best man. But Luo Xiaolang didn’t care about these things, so there were neither bridesmaids nor best men at this wedding. Upon seeing Xin Zaozao today, seeing her with a big belly, his first reaction was that this child must be Mu Cidian’s. But now, looking at the situation…
He had thought too much.
“Mu Cidian’s wife is here, watch your words.” Xin Zaozao warned.
Yin Qin swallowed, feeling that he had said something inappropriate.
He said, “I’m going to pick up my wife, you guys can carry on.”
With that, he left.
Just casually stirring up a mess and then leaving.
With his departure, the room’s occupants began to feel awkward.
It was Ji Baili who broke the silence, asking, “Why didn’t Song Lifei come with you?”
He assumed that the child was Song Lifei’s.
“He’s on a business trip.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“He’s on a business trip at a time like this? Shouldn’t he be by your side?” Ji Baili was a bit annoyed.
“It was my arrangement.” Xin Zaozao laughed.
“…” Ji Baili was speechless.
At that moment, a few more guests arrived. Most of them were friends of Yin Qin, making this table a gathering of young people.
After everyone had arrived, the meal began.
Xin Zaozao casually asked Ji Baili, “How did your blind date go that you mentioned last time?”
“The fact that I came to the wedding alone should tell you it didn’t go well.” Ji Baili uttered helplessly.
“If you don’t get married soon, your mother may jump off a building.” Song Zhizhi chimed in.
“Sister-in-law, I’d like to, but I just can’t find the right one.”
“No worries, seeing Zaozao pregnant today, you may find your match next time.” Song Zhizhi said with profound insight.
Ji Baili pondered for a moment, somewhat agreeing, “I think sister-in-law makes a lot of sense. Don’t you agree, brother?”
Ji Baili looked at Ji Baijian, seeking his approval.
Ji Baijian just responded coldly.
“By the way, I heard you were trying for a second child. Any news?” Ji Baili asked.
As soon as he asked, Ji Baijian’s face changed noticeably.
Oh no.
Ji Baili felt a tightness in his chest.
It seemed like he stepped on the horse’s hoof while trying to flatter his brother.
Song Zhizhi’s face also shifted subtly, she said, “We are still planning.”
“You should settle your own marriage first before meddling in others’ affairs.” Ji Baijian retorted coldly.
“Yes, yes, I will make sure to get married soon.” Ji Baili’s fear of Ji Baijian was painfully obvious to anyone who looked at him.
During the meal, Xin Zaozao was chatting happily while the others, who seemed to be familiar with each other, were also immersed in their own conversations. Only Mu Cidian and Lei Qian seemed to be isolated.
Lei Qian felt somewhat awkward.
Since she didn’t know anyone, and seeing the others laughing and chatting away, she and Mu Cidian seemed out of place.
Mu Cidian also noticed Lei Qian’s discomfort.
He himself was alright, he was used to it and wasn’t one for small talk. But it was different for Lei Qian, especially since she didn’t know anyone, so she must be feeling very awkward. At that moment, he turned to Lei Qian and suggested, “During this sensitive time, you should drink more hot soup?”
“I can get it myself.” Lei Qian quickly responded.
Mu Cidian pressed down her hand.
At that point, a staff member who was standing nearby courteously took Lei Qian’s soup bowl and began serving soup for her.
Lei Qian looked at the server, then at Mu Cidian.
“This is how it is in high-end restaurants.” Mu Cidian explained, “You will need to get used to it.”
“Oh.” Lei Qian nodded.
She felt conspicuously out of place.
She silently sipped her soup, a little hesitant to pick up any food.
Mu Cidian could sense Lei Qian’s discomfort. In such a situation, someone encountering it for the first time would inevitably be at a loss.
He picked up his chopsticks and placed a boiled shrimp on Lei Qian’s plate.
The next moment, the server respectfully took the plate and went aside to peel the shrimp for her.
Lei Qian looked at Mu Cidian once more.
Mu Cidian gave her a slight smile.
Lei Qian responded with a smile.
Xin Zaozao, looking up, saw this interaction, watched for a moment and then shifted her gaze.
Ji Baili joked, “You really know how to take care of your wife!”
Mu Cidian pursed his lips, not saying anything.
“I always feel like you’re cold as ice, but now you’re showing your warm side to your wife, aren’t you?”
“She’s not used to attending events like this, there’s a lot she doesn’t know.” Mu Cidian explained.
“How did you two get together?” Ji Baili put down his chopsticks, asking with keen interest.
“We just did.” Mu Cidian gave a perfunctory answer.
“Love at first sight? Or love over time?” Ji Baili seemed relentless with his questioning of Mu Cidian.
Mu Cidian didn’t answer. When the server put the peeled shrimp in front of Lei Qian, he told the server, “Please serve her another bowl of soup.”
“Yes, sir.” The server answered respectfully.
The server reached for a soup bowl.
At the same time, the server taking care of Xin Zaozao also reached out their hand.
The two servers looked ackwardly at each other.
There was only enough soup left in the pot for one bowl.
