"What's wrong? Is your ex-boyfriend or crush among your classmates? You're dressed up so nicely."
Ren Jin stood behind Gu Yueji, watching her put on makeup at the dressing table, making her lips as red as if she had eaten someone.
Gu Yueji looked up at Ren Jin in the mirror. He was supporting his waist, revealing his inverted triangle body shape with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, as well as his undulating chest muscles that even a thick sweater couldn't hide.
She has a perfect figure, but her face is a bit dark.
"Are you jealous?" Gu Yueji asked with a smile.
"If I said I was jealous, would you not go?" He didn't deny it.
Gu Yueji was amused by him and turned to look at him. "What are you doing? You didn't say I couldn't go when I told you before."
She was going to a class reunion with Xiao Yao today, and she had told him about it a long time ago, so she didn't know why he was reacting so strongly today.
He pointed to her clothes, "But you didn't say we had to dress like this for class reunions!"
Today she wore a fitted black velvet long dress with an off-the-shoulder design that revealed her swan-like long neck and delicate collarbone. The slit in the skirt revealed her long, white legs as soon as she sat down.
The important thing is that this is a brand new dress that he has never seen before, which she bought specifically for this class reunion!
She dressed up so carefully—what else could it be but a dog at the class reunion!
Gu Yueji looked down at the dress she was wearing.
This dress was a new purchase that Xiao Yao dragged her shopping with yesterday. Xiao Yao said that classmates who have entered the workforce are no longer as innocent as they were in school. Class reunions are also a way to find resources and build connections. Now that they are small garment factory owners, they can't let others look down on them.
Furthermore, since Su Ziran had specially invited them, she felt that something was amiss, so she specifically instructed her to dress up beautifully today.
Ren Jin scanned her skirt from head to toe, and still not entirely sure, he hooked her collar with his finger and swept aside her skirt to see if she would reveal anything.
Gu Yueji was amused by his childish behavior. "Stop fooling around. I'll call you beforehand when it's over, and you can come pick me up, okay?"
He acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Do you even need to ask? Of course you'll ask me to pick you up when you're done. Isn't Xiao Yao staying at a hotel tonight? How are you going to get back if I don't pick you up? If you dare let a male classmate take you back, I'll break your legs."
Xiao Yao will drive from the factory to pick up Gu Yueji and take her to the hotel. Since the party will end quite late, she doesn't want to bother Gu Yueji and her husband, so she booked a room at the hotel directly.
Gu Yueji coaxed in a cooperative manner, "Yes, okay, you have to pick me up. Don't think of your wife as so popular. I wore T-shirts and jeans for four years of college and didn't participate in any activities. I was as ordinary as can be. I was busy with part-time jobs and didn't interact with my classmates much. If Xiao Yao hadn't wanted to participate this time, I probably wouldn't have gone. So there won't be any male classmates who have a crush on me, and there won't be any rekindling of old flames. Don't worry."
Ren Jin grasped the back of her neck, gently lifting her head, and lightly pecked her red lips. "My wife looks good in a T-shirt and jeans, but she's even more beautiful now."
When he first met her, she was just wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and she was often disheveled in her rented apartment, walking around in front of him in a faded, oversized T-shirt, but he still thought she was pretty.
Gu Yueji was delighted by his praise. She knew that although he was joking, he wouldn't really refuse to let her go.
She wanted to reassure him, so she raised her right hand and shook it, her ring finger sparkling with their wedding ring and the diamond ring he had bought for her. "I will tell everyone that my husband is incredibly handsome, and no one in our class can compare to him."
Ren Jin finally smiled and pinched her nose. "That's more like it."
When Gu Yueji came downstairs after receiving Xiao Yao's call, she saw Zhong Xuyang's Porsche.
"I just happened to be going over there to take care of some things, so I'll give you and Yao Yao a ride there on the way," Zhong Xuyang explained, leaning out of the driver's side window.
Gu Yueji and he exchanged a knowing glance and smiled knowingly. "Okay, thank you."
When Xiao Yao saw Gu Yueji arrive, she prepared to get out of the car and sit in the back with Gu Yueji. Just as her hand touched the seatbelt buckle, a hand with distinct knuckles pressed her down.
She looked up and saw Zhong Xuyang's profile as he looked back.
“Yaoyao gets carsick easily, so I won’t let her sit in the back with you,” Zhong Xuyang said to Gu Yueji, who was sitting in the back seat.
Gu Yueji smiled again upon hearing this.
She'd known Xiao Yao for a long time; didn't she know whether Xiao Yao got carsick or not? But since Zhong Xuyang was already putting in so much effort, she kindly decided not to undermine him.
"It's okay, I can sit by myself."
Xiao Yao, however, was unconvinced. "When did I get carsick? I want to sit in the back."
Zhong Xuyang held her hand and rubbed it in his palm. "I'm a little sleepy. You can keep me company up ahead."
Xiao Yao broke free from him. "If you're sleepy, go to the back seat and sleep. I'll drive."
"Alright, let's go, or we'll be late for the party." Zhong Xuyang sat up straight and started the car, not giving Xiao Yao a chance to discuss getting out.
Xiao Yao glared angrily at Zhong Xuyang, but Gu Yueji quickly diverted her attention, saying, "The class group chat is quite lively today; it seems a lot of people went to the party."
“Quite a few people participated when we signed up for the relay.” Xiao Yao angrily stopped looking at Zhong Xuyang and took out her phone to check.
The class group chat is really active, with hundreds of new messages and new content constantly popping up below.
Some are still pursuing their doctorates on campus, some are married and have two children, and some have successfully started their own businesses and become big bosses.
Close classmates tease and joke with each other, while those who are socially savvy start to flatter.
Xiao Yao and Gu Yueji looked at the chat in the group and began to reminisce about their youth, talking about things from their school days and gossiping about their classmates. Before they knew it, they had been chatting for an hour, and they were almost at the hotel.
