Wen Chi hung up the phone and thought for a moment, fearing that Gao Jie might have some bad idea up his sleeve again.
He had been abroad for so long and rarely came back, so there were many things he didnât know about, like his marriage.
Due to Huanhuanâs status as a celebrity, he chose to handle many matters discreetly, deciding to wait until his return to address them.
He would wait for Huanhuan to come back and then tell her about it, introducing Gao Jie to her then.
â¦.
As night fell, the sky outside was shrouded in a veil of darkness.
Reflected on the glass surface was a large solid wood round table, surrounded by several people.
By the time Wen Chi arrived, they had already gathered.
âYou, youâre always the biggest star among us, always the last to arrive,â Gao Jie said, pretending to punch him lightly in the chest without reservation.
âSorry, something held me up, Iâm late,â Wen Chi apologized. He was delayed because he went to pick up Gu Huanhuan, and though he had wanted to bring her along, seeing how tired she looked, he couldnât bear the thought of dragging her out and let her rest instead. He had not wanted to come, but since heâd already made plans with Gao Jie, it wouldnât have been good to cancel.
After taking his seat, a group of men, each with a unique demeanorâall classmates of hisâWen Chi truly admired Gao Jie for being able to reconnect with so many classmates so soon after returning; it was indeed impressive.
âOur Dr. Wen is quite hard to invite; itâs rare to have him here today.â Wen Chi wasnât sure if they all knew about the medical dispute he was involved in, thus the comment sounded a bit harsh.
Good news seldom goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide. Most of their classmates were also doctors, so it wasnât surprising they knew about the incident.
Wen Chi smiled lightly, âThatâs too kind of you to say.â
âChi, donât worry, youâll definitely have a good time today. Thereâs still one person who hasnât arrived yet,â Gao Jie said, constantly glancing at the entrance as he spoke.
Just then, a figure walked inâtall and graceful, with delicate curves. Her features were more three-dimensional than the average personâs, her eyes large and deep-set. As soon as she entered, she immediately became the center of attention.
âLook, everyone, whoâs that?â called out someone from the table.
âIsnât that our Miss Song, Song Ying?â someone recognized her.
The rest of the group became excited, simply because Song Ying had been the beauty of their college days, dazzling everyone when she first enrolled.
But now it seemed, fortune still favored her. She hadnât changed a bit and appeared even more mature and charming than before.
âHello, everyone,â Song Ying greeted with a smile, then her gaze swept over to Wen Chi and lingered for a moment before reluctantly moving away.
Song Ying, with her easy grace, was warmly welcomed to take a seat. Walking over, she sat down next to the empty spot beside Wen Chi.
Everyone silently acknowledged that Wen Chi was her intended target, no wonder she had been persuaded to join.
Being so close, Wen Chi could faintly smell a gentle, feminine fragrance.
He frowned slightly, thinking to himself that he knew Gao Jie would mess things up. He was starting to regret not telling him beforehand about his marriage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Could there have been a misunderstanding?
Back in university, there was a time when he and Song Ying were quite close, which was due to their participation in an English play for the school, so they often rehearsed together. Gao Jie thought Wen Chi was interested in Song Ying and would often tease him about it, though Wen Chi couldnât be bothered to acknowledge it.
Seeing this scene now, could Gao Jie be aiming to play matchmaker?
