Knowing that Song Yunzheng would be bringing his wife to the gathering, the classmates arrived early, and some even flew back overnight from overseas, just to catch a glimpse of Lin Yue.
When Song Yunzheng led Lin Yue into the private room, the previously noisy atmosphere instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yue.
The expressions on everyone's faces were varied and fascinating, ranging from doubt and shock to curiosity...
Song Yunzheng nodded to them calmly, then whispered in Lin Yue's ear, "Sweetie, say hello."
His calling her "darling" made Lin Yue's heart skip a beat, and she almost lost her balance. Why was this old man suddenly being so affectionate? Lin Yue gritted her teeth, steadied herself, raised her hand and waved, revealing a sweet smile, "Hi everyone! I'm Lin Yue."
"Come on, let's give a warm welcome to our Dr. Song and his beautiful wife!" Tang Shiting was the first to react, leading the applause. Everyone else followed suit, and the applause was thunderous.
"Alright, alright, if you keep doing this you'll scare her." Song Yunzheng's words were meant for all the old classmates present, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Yue.
"Don't stand up, sit down and chat." Tang Shiting saw that everyone was about to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), so he quickly invited everyone to sit down and chat while eating.
"Yunzheng, you got married so quietly without even telling us. That's so unfair! What? Are you worried we can't afford a red envelope?" The speaker was Amy, who lives abroad most of the time.
"I've always kept a low profile, and you've all known me for a while now." Song Yunzheng picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and spoke calmly.
"Hey, drinking tea is so boring, we have to drink alcohol today."
Song Yunzheng raised his hand to stop her from handing him the wine bottle, saying, "I have to drive later, so I can't drink."
"Then sister-in-law, drink this." He was about to pour wine for Lin Yue, but Song Yunzheng stopped him again, "She can't drink either, she's allergic to alcohol."
Amy awkwardly withdrew her hand and shrugged helplessly. "Fine, do as you please."
Lin Yue ate her food obediently, accepting whatever Song Yunzheng put on her plate. She only ate a few bites during the meal, which made her happy. She looked up and whispered in his ear, "The food here is really delicious. How about we come back ourselves next time?"
"Okay." Song Yunzheng smiled indulgently and gently flicked her nose.
Lin Yue was a little embarrassed by his action, and blushed as she scolded him, "What are you doing?"
Song Yunzheng smiled without saying a word and put some more food into her bowl.
Suddenly, a classmate said, "Hey, I remember you were looking for Meng Wanning for many years, right? Still no news?"
He really does become more talkative after drinking, always bringing up the most sensitive topics. Song Yunzheng's face instantly darkened, and he stared coldly at the student who asked the question.
Seeing that things were not going well, Tang Shiting quickly picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Brother Hua, drink less and eat more. When are you and Fangfang getting married? We've been waiting for you."
"It'll be here soon, everyone will have to come."
"Definitely," everyone echoed.
Amy watched the subtle interaction between Song Yunzheng and Lin Yue with a cold eye. She cursed inwardly, "Men are all the same. He was so madly in love before, and then he turned around and married someone else, and such a young girl at that. I really feel sorry for Wanwan. She's been hiding abroad for so many years, while he's living a happy life with his beautiful wife!"
"Yunzheng, there's a surprise for you later, a wedding gift for you." Amy raised her wine glass, smiling charmingly.
Before the words were finished, the door to the private room opened, and a clear, gentle voice came from the doorway, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
