2898 The only candidate (4)

Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for half a second, choosing between eating the meat she was holding up or putting it down. In the end, she chose to put it down. Gossip was more important-oh no, it was more important to care about her friends.

She quickly asked, whats the matter? When did you propose? How did it fail?

Ye sijue furrowed his brows and looked at her, not really wanting to say anything.

Han qiqing chimed in, thats not right. Didnt you ask us for help before? We havent even helped you yet, and youre acting on your own?

No wonder he failed!

However, Xiaomeng and ye sijue were so close. Even without their help, Xiaomeng shouldnt have rejected ye sijues proposal.

So what was going on?

Ye sijue said expressionlessly, I dont want to talk about this. Im just telling you the results.

Even though his expression was unreadable, mu Xiaoxiao knew that he was unhappy.

Come to think of it, who would be happy if his proposal was rejected?

She suddenly felt a little guilty. Too many things had happened before, and she hadnt been able to take care of ye sijue. They didnt even know that his proposal had failed.

Mu Xiaoxiaos voice softened as she said, sijue, tell us. How did you propose? What did Xiaomeng say when she rejected your proposal?

Ye sijue said calmly, she didnt say anything.

It was obvious that he didnt want to talk about this.

Mu Xiaoxiao and the others looked at each other, worried that ye sijue and Mo Xiaomeng had gotten into an argument.

The atmosphere was a little tense. Song s.h.i.+jun gestured with his eyes to stop the conversation.

Everyone continued eating.

Song s.h.i.+jun said, Xiaoxiao and Shaojie will be leaving soon. We dont know when well be able to get together again. Lets have a drink?

Han qiqing echoed, yes, well drink until were drunk tonight!

She used the service bell to call for the waiter. With a wave of her hand, she ordered the most expensive red wine since Yin Shaojie was treating them to the meal.

The waiter came in with red wine, poured five gla.s.ses according to the number of people, and placed them in front of everyone.

Han qiqing recalled the way her father tasted wine. She picked up the gla.s.s and swirled it. She looked at the color and sniffed it. Then, she said pretentiously, this red wine is not bad.

Mu Xiaoxiao laughed at the side. She didnt know much about red wine, but she knew that qiqing didnt, so she just watched qiqings acting.

Han qiqing raised her gla.s.s and glanced at ye sijue out of the corner of her eye. She smiled and said, lets clink gla.s.ses. I wish Wish that our friends.h.i.+p will remain unchanged! Even if were separated by mountains and rivers, well always be best friends!

Mu Xiaoxiao picked up her gla.s.s cooperatively, but she was afraid of getting drunk, so she only took a sip.

Ye sijue didnt know if he could tell that they were trying to force him to drink, but he only took a sip and put down his gla.s.s.

Song s.h.i.+jun sat beside him and encouraged him to drink.

sijue, we wont force you if you dont want to say anything, but Shaojie is leaving soon. We wont have many chances to meet in the future. Lets drink to our hearts content tonight. Come!

Yin Shaojie also raised his gla.s.s and echoed, yes, lets have a drink. Dont say anything, just drink!

Ye sijue chuckled in a low voice. He raised his gla.s.s, clinked it against song s.h.i.+juns, and then drank it all in one go.

I have one more thing to tell you.

The four of them looked at him in unison.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. She had just heard that his proposal had failed, and now there was new news. Could it be that Ye sijue and Mo Xiaomengs relations.h.i.+p had some problems?

She was really afraid that ye sijue was going to say that he had broken up with Xiaomeng.
