Chapter 697: Chapter 697 The Five Swordsmen
Translator: 549690339 |
Mengmeng had not returned for so long, naturally, there was much for the besties to catch up on.
So, at noon, they ended up ditching Fang He.
After all, what would it look like to have a big guy join a girls’ tea party?
Fang He, left with no choice, had to dine alone in the staff canteen.
They, on the other hand, went to a hot pot restaurant…
Apart from the four of them, Jian Dan also invited Yuan Xinjie. Except for Xia Mengjiao, the others hadn’t met Yuan Xinjie yet.
Therefore, Jian Dan planned to take this opportunity to introduce Yuan Xinjie to everyone.
When Yuan Xinjie received Jian Dan’s call, she was incredibly excited. “Jian, you finally called me, I thought you had forgotten about me!”
“How could I? I’ve just been really busy lately, which is why I didn’t have time to see you! Are you okay? Today I’m treating you to hot pot and introducing you to some of my good friends, how’s that?” Faced with the young lady’s enthusiasm, Jian Dan could only appease her.
“Yeah, yeah! Where are you, I’ll come right now!”
Jian Dan simply sent Yuan Xinjie the location…
After about 20 minutes or so, Yuan Xinjie hurried over. “Jian, I’ve missed you so much-”
And sure enough, the first thing she did upon seeing Jian Dan was give her a bear hug almost cutting off Jian Dan’s breath.
The other three, except for Xia Mengjiao who was used to it, were all baffled.
“Don’t be so surprised, you’ll get used to it,” Xia Mengjiao said coolly, watching their expressions.
“Yuanyuan, let go of me first so I can introduce you to my friends,” Jian Dan said while gently tapping Yuan Xinjie’s arm.
Only then did Yuan Xinjie let go of Jian Dan, but she still clung to her arm.
To the uninitiated, they might have appeared to be a couple!
But Jian Dan was used to it by now, so she let it be.
“You already know Xia Mengjiao, so I won’t bother introducing her. This is Xu Mengmeng!”
“I know you!” Yuan Xinjie said excitedly. “Your husband is Fang He, right? Hi, hi, I really like Fang He! I’m Yuan Xinjie, pleased to meet you.” Yuan Xinjie was so outgoing she immediately grabbed Xu Mengmeng’s hand.
Taken aback, Xu Mengmeng looked at Jian Dan uncertain how to react.
Jian Dan shrugged her shoulders at her, her eyes full of ‘good luck with this one.’
That’s just how Yuanyuan is, and there’s nothing to be done about it.
“Heh, hi there, I’m Xu Mengmeng!” Xu Mengmeng strained to finally withdraw her hand from Yuan Xinjie’s grasp.
“This is Qin Rou! She’s my friend as well as my niece.”
“Qin Rou, I know you, you’re the daughter of the CEO of E Media, right?”
After hearing Yuan Xinjie’s words, Jian Dan’s face stiffened. How did this la.s.s know everything?
Jian Dan looked worriedly at Qin Rou.
But Qin Rou acted as if nothing was amiss and extended her hand to Yuan Xinjie, “Hi, I’m Qin Rou!”
Seeing Qin Rou’s indifferent expression, Jian Dan also relaxed.
It seemed that Qin Rou had truly moved on.
“I’m Yuan Xinjie, very pleased to meet you!” Yuan Xinjie was always so straightforward, not caring about your past, only whether she liked you or not.
After the introductions, the five of them entered the hot pot restaurant. The place was crowded, and with two pregnant women among them, Jian Dan arranged for a private room.
To cater to the tastes of the pregnant women, they chose a divided hot pot.
The restaurant was very clean, so it was safe for the expecting mothers to eat there too.
“I’m so happy today, making so many friends. Cheers to all of you,” Yuan Xinjie raised her gla.s.s of water.
“We’re also happy to meet you!” Xu Mengmeng and Qin Rou said in unison.
Although this la.s.s was a bit too enthusiastic, she was a charming girl nonetheless.
“Jian, I can’t believe you have so many friends, I’m so envious of you!” Yuan Xinjie leaned towards Jian Dan.
“There’s no need to envy, now they’re your friends too!” Jian Dan patted Yuan Xinjie’s head.
The la.s.s was like a little child, in need of comforting.
But since Jian Dan liked her, she didn’t mind coddling her!
