223: Toast

Toast

"There's Lu Yan!" Mai Qi suddenly pointed and whispered excitedly.1

I let her go. She raised the hem of her skirt and walked towards Lu Yan. She grabbed Lu Yan's hand and asked, "Where have you been? Nanxing and I were looking so hard for you. We were so worried. You promised you would never leave our sight!"

Lu Yan shrunk. "Mai Qi. I'm sorry, I..." She couldn't say she was in the bathroom because Mai Qi told her we had searched all the bathrooms.

Ye Qian smiled. "Were you distracted by the crystal chandelier at the lobby? I saw many girls there admiring it."

Lu Yan nodded quickly, "Yes, I've never seen something so pretty."

Mai Qi turned to ask me, "Was there a crystal chandelier at the lobby? How come I don't remember one?" I was confused too.

Ye Qian smiled. "You two are raised in luxury. You've seen the best thing in the world, so naturally, you wouldn't notice a normal chandelier."

I turned to Lu Yan. "Sister Ye Qian is chiding us for being inattentive! Lu Yan, you should bring Mai Qi and me to see this chandelier later." Then I introduced them. "Right, this is Sister Ye Qian."

I turned to Ye Qian, "Sister Ye Qian, you should remember her. She is our dorm mate, Lu Yan."

With Mai Qi and I watching, Lu Yan and Ye Qian 'met for the first time'.

I smiled. "Sister Ye Qian, Lu Yan is an outstanding student. If your company needs an intern, you need to give her a chance! But Lu Yan is sincere and is not very good at socializing."

Mai Qi nodded. "That's right. Sister Ye Qian, I forgot that you are a company president now! Lu Yan, Sister Ye Qian is amazing. If there's a chance, you need to learn from her!" Lu Yan kept her head lowered and said nothing.

Ye Qian said generously. "Sure, if you need an internship, feel free to come to find me."

Mai Qi nudged Ye Qian, "You better add Sister Ye Qian's contact now!"

Lu Yan froze. She didn't know what to do. Once again, Ye Qian came to her rescue. "Later, we'll exchange info when I get my personal phone. I am using my business phone, so it's not that convenient now."

Lu Yan's shoulders relaxed. Mai Qi and I shared a look.

Jing Ning and Nanyang walked over. Ye Qian frowned. She wanted to avoid them. But Mai Qi pushed her arm into the crook of Ye Qian's arm. She smiled. "Sister Ye Qian, look at Nanyang. We spent a lot of time together, but she has gotten herself pregnant with Jing Ning's baby without any of us knowing! Tsk tsk! I feel bad for our friends who have a crush on Brother Jing Ning." Mai Qi whispered the gossip to Ye Qian so Ye Qian couldn't slide away.

Mai Qi was close to Ye Qian. Ye Qian's first move when she came to M City was to befriend Mai Qi, the most powerful individual among our group of girls.

The moment Jing Ning saw Ye Qian, his gaze was glued to her. I saw jealousy in Nanyang's eyes. Nanyang had one hand on her waist and another hand holding Jing Ning's hand. Her smile was shy and happy. The two bridesmaids followed behind with the wine glasses and bottles.

"Sister Ye Qian, we finally found you." The gloating in Nanyang's voice was evident.

Ye Qian smiled. "Congratulations! I haven't had the chance to toast you two since you were so busy." Li Tian and Tian Ting immediately poured wine for everyone. They didn't even dare to look at me.

We all raised our glasses to toast the new couple.
