With Xue Xiangtong and Mu Anhan around, the dining table became lively all of a sudden.
Mu Anhan asked the waiter to bring over the dishes they ordered earlier to their side for eating.
"Third Brother, this tastes really good!" Xue Xiangtong gave him a thumbs up.
"Of course!" Mu Shaojie looked at her wolfing down the food, "I think I made the wrong recommendation!"
"Why?" Xue Xiangtong asked while eating.
Mu Shaojie handed her a napkin, "Look at the way you eat, shall I record a video so you can enjoy watching it at your leisure? You’re eating like a reincarnated hungry ghost, afraid you’ll eat too little."
Xue Xiangtong took the napkin and stuck out her tongue, "I didn’t get to have lunch, I’m just too hungry."
"For a little policewoman, are you really that busy?" Mu Shaojie snorted.
Xue Xiangtong laughed, "I might become the director of the Imperial City Police Department in the future?"
Everyone: "..."
Mu Anhan took out a men’s ring from her bag, "Sixth Brother, can you try it on for me?"
Mu Shaojie put it on, "It’s a bit big."
"It’s not for you." Mu Anhan said with a smile, "I’m just appreciating it, does it look good?"
Mu Shaojie always liked to roast people, but when Mu Anhan was around, only she could roast him.
"Xiao Han, you’re too hurtful!" Mu Shaojie hid his hand, "I’m not giving it back!"
"Dare not give it back, see how Shi Shi will deal with you!" Mu Anhan turned her head and sweetly called out, "Sixth Sister-in-law, you have to severely deal with him, he’s not obedient at all!"
Zhang Shishi’s face instantly turned red, "It’s not like that..."
Mu Shaojie immediately backed down, took off the ring and returned it to Mu Anhan, "I’m afraid I’ll have to kneel on durians when I get home tonight."
Everyone laughed heartily together.
Only Shao Chen’s laughter was particularly bitter, he picked up the teacup to hide his sadness.
Mu Anhan admired the men’s ring and turned her head to Shao Chen, "Third Brother, you have to keep it a secret, don’t let Gu Xiaozhan know."
"Alright." Shao Chen saw her and Gu Xiaozhan’s good relationship and felt relieved.
"By the way, if Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law plan to get married, I can also design the rings for you." Mu Anhan looked at them.
Zhang Shishi was so scared she jumped up, "We’re not that fast..."
Fearing her reaction was too excited, she had to explain, "Both Shao Jue and I are in the initial stages of our careers, talking about marriage is too early."
"Indeed, no rush." Mu Anhan smiled, "Since our mom is not here, I worry about my brothers’ marriages."
Mu Shaojie laughed, "If our mom heard this, she would be smiling from heaven."
Zhang Shishi said she needed to go to the restroom, and she got up to leave.
She went outside to get some air as she felt suffocated at the dining table.
Once, she also dreamed about walking into the wedding hall with Mu Shaochen, and what happened then?
She looked at the starry night sky, so many stars, yet so far apart.
Doesn’t it resemble the relationship between her and Mu Shaochen?
"Shi Shi..." A familiar voice sounded behind her.
Zhang Shishi turned around and saw Shao Chen, who somehow had come to her side.
Shao Chen had said at the dining table that he was going to drink with Tang Haolang, and used it as an excuse to leave.
His heart also ached a lot, he didn’t want to hear news about Zhang Shishi getting married, he couldn’t bear the woman he liked marrying another man.
He reached out and embraced Zhang Shishi, "Don’t be with Shao Jue."
