Chapter 21 Should I say hello?

Throughout history, weddings have never been easy.

The bride is tired, but the bridesmaids are even more tired.

After the wedding, Su Wanwan was almost exhausted, especially her legs, which were aching slightly.

Cheng Xue and Qi Jun had other work to do and had already caught a plane and left. The bride and groom also went back to their new home according to custom.

Su Wanwan was almost the last person to leave from the group of relatives and friends.

After settling in at the hotel, the elevator went down a few floors and stopped. The door opened, and there were a few somewhat familiar people outside.

"..."

Su Wanwan forced back the yawn she was about to yawn.

She thought she wouldn't run into him for even a day.

She silently took a few steps back to make room for him.

Xie Yanning stood at the back, glanced at her, and said nothing.

As for Zhang Yunqing, she must remain expressionless.

Xue Shi'an blinked, while Chao Sheng raised an eyebrow and quickly glanced at Xie Yanning.

Everyone's expressions were different, but Xi Kangwen seemed oblivious to the slightly strange atmosphere, his face visibly growing excited: "So it really is you, Su Wanwan! I knew I hadn't mistaken you. You're back to work?"

Xi Kangwen was the class monitor back then, so he was naturally quite enthusiastic.

"Who is this?" Wen Ru peeked out and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Su Wanwan could tell without even guessing, just by looking at the bridal makeup still on her face.

"This is my high school classmate, Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan, this is my wife, Wen Ru, she also studies medicine." He sounded quite proud.

Su Wanwan extended her hand, "Hello, Su Wanwan, congratulations."

Wen Ru slightly extended her hand, tilting her head slightly as a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

Su Wanwan: "???"

"Maybe..." Su Wanwan might not be able to come out yet, so Wen Ru continued, "Do you also work at Anxin Hospital?"

"..."

This world really is a huge makeshift operation.

Su Wanwan's expression froze for a moment, which made Wen Ru guess what had happened. She tightened her grip on Su Wanwan's hand. "It really was you!"

Su Wanwan guessed what was going on in Wen Ru's face. She remained calm, knowing that the gossip was still going strong.

Oh, wait, the latest gossip seems to have gotten to the point where she's using Chen Heting's affections to string the Chen family along, demanding a dowry of tens of millions.

"Yes."

"I work in orthopedics, and I just started this year." Wen Ru, whether excited or happy, took out her phone: "Let's add each other on WeChat."

Su Wanwan reluctantly took out her phone.

A newlywed couple shouldn't be disrespected.

Xi Kangwen also took out his phone, "By the way, you don't use that number anymore, right? I'll add you and add you to the class group."

"Okay," Su Wanwan said. "Go ahead and scan it."

What else can we do besides sweep?

Su Wanwan selectively skipped over the first question.

She didn't even dare to think whether her abandoned WeChat account was still lying in the class group chat.

"We still have quite a few classmates working here, so we can get together and help each other out if needed."

They are not locals, so it's good to have a classmate to look after them.

As soon as I was added to the group, the messages kept popping up.

Chao Sheng, feeling neglected, protested, "Hey, wait, you all have families and connections, so I'm the only outsider here?"

Su Wanwan looked over.

Chao Sheng was a typical northerner, about the same height as Xie Yanning, but much larger, like a sports student. No matter how refined his attire was, it couldn't hide his innate roguishness.

"Su Wanwan, don't pay any attention to him," Xi Kangwen said. "He was just joking."

"What are you joking about? I'm serious." Chao Sheng said, dissatisfied, and stepped closer: "Beautiful lady, let's add each other on WeChat."

“No, what about me?” Xue Shi’an chuckled and chimed in. “Let’s join too. We’ve met several times already, we’re even more destined to meet.”

Su Wanwan: "..."

What does this mean? Is this a large-scale family reunion?

Xie Yanning stepped forward and said, "Alright, you two, stop messing around here."

Xie Yanning's expression was displeased, and Su Wanwan guessed that he didn't want her to get too involved in his life and social circle. Helping her out of humanitarianism was one thing, but getting involved in his life was another.

"My phone seems to be running out of battery," Su Wanwan said apologetically.

"No, that's not a good excuse," Chao Sheng was about to say something when he watched as Su Wanwan's phone actually turned off.

"..."

Su Wanwan's eyes widened in surprise.

She pressed the button again, unwilling to give up. No, it really was just an excuse!

"The power is really out." Su Wanwan said weakly.

Chao Sheng squinted. "Hmm...maybe you should switch to a domestic phone. The battery life is something you deserve."

"..." Su Wanwan: "Thank you for your suggestion."

Chao Sheng couldn't help but chuckle. "I have a charger in my car, do you want to borrow it?"

“No need for that,” Su Wanwan declined. “I’ll just ask the front desk for help and then hail a taxi.”

Xie Yanning said, "You can ride back in my car."

His voice caused a brief pause in the elevator.

Xi Kangwen blinked, "Ah, you guys..."

Su Wanwan was somewhat incredulous.

She glanced quickly at Zhang Yunqing, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to give me a ride?"

Zhang Yunqing pursed her lips, her face somewhat pale.

"What's wrong with going the same way?" Xie Yanning asked, puzzled.

He spoke so confidently that Su Wanwan couldn't say anything else. When she got into the car, Su Wanwan cursed herself for being a "green tea b*tch"!

Of course, since everyone had drunk some alcohol, they all called for designated drivers.

Su Wanwan and Xie Yanning sat in the back of the car.

"Um..." After hesitating for a while, Su Wanwan still asked tactfully, "Are you sure you're okay with not taking Zhang Yunqing home? She's a girl all alone." Even if they're not going the same way, boyfriends and girlfriends, old married couples, shouldn't go to such lengths, right?

Did they have a fight?

"She has her own car, why should I drive her?" Xie Yanning asked.

"..." Su Wanwan was speechless. What she said made a lot of sense. So, she was the only one among her classmates who didn't own a car.

The quiet atmosphere in the car was broken by the WeChat notification sound on Xie Yanning's phone.

Xie Yanning cut it open.

It was sent to him by Xi Kangwen.

"You and Su Wanwan?" After so many years of friendship, this one sentence was enough for everyone to understand each other's meaning.

Xie Yanning glanced at Su Wanwan through the rearview mirror and simply replied with an "Mm".

Xi Kangwen shook his head and sighed on the other end of the line, "Brother, I wish you success."

Su Wanwan guessed that Xie Yanning and Zhang Yunqing were talking, so she turned her head to look in the other direction.

Xie Yanning opened another chat window and asked, "Do you want to say hello to your classmates?"

"???"

Xie Yanning handed her his phone to show her. The screen was scrolling by quickly. Besides blessings for Xi Kangwen, there were also some people expressing curiosity about Su Wanwan.
