Chapter 329: Could It Be, That You’re Thinking About Our Wedding?
Lucky for him, she realized this.
“Even though I’m feeling nervous about it, let’s go. Besides, he’s inviting us out of sincerity. They are your friends and I’ll need to meet them sooner or later, so there’s no reason to hide,” Xu Moyan replied quietly.
She might as well meet them head-on.
Since she was already in a relationship with him, she would naturally want to eventually enjoy a happy ending together with Wei Zilin. From the very beginning, she knew that there existed a distinct gap between them, but still, she wanted to do her best and be his girlfriend. If it was possible, she even wanted to be his wife.
This meant that she had to be able to be a part of his social group. Even if it meant spending time with others, she still wanted to join his circle of friends. However, Wei Zilin’s circle of friends was a little different than the usual group as they were of the higher echelons of society. However, this was not the main reason why she was feeling nervous about it.
Wei Zilin smiled. He was rubbing her earlobes with his hands when he suddenly stopped and said seriously, “You’re right. Besides, you will need to meet them sooner or later. If not now, then it be at the wedding.”

“What… What wedding?!” Xu Moyan blushed. They had just gotten into a relationship and now they were talking about marriage? Despite this, she was still happy that he was thinking of it.
Surprisingly, We Zilin simply laughed. “I meant Lin Chu’s wedding. She’s already finished her confinement period and the Yan family are in the midst of preparing for her wedding alongside Beicheng. We’ll definitely need to attend the wedding then, whilst Han Zhuoli and the others will be there as well. You will definitely meet them then.”
Xu Moyan blushed furiously out of embarrassment.
Turns out, she had overthought the situation.
Wei Zilin’s teasing expression made her want to hide herself out of shame. She wished she could cover her face completely right there and then.
Unfortunately, Wei Zilin added fuel to the fire. “What were you thinking of? Could it be, that you’re thinking about our wedding?”
Xu Moyan was a little mad about this. For one thing, she had read too much into his words and misunderstood the meaning. To make matters worse, Wei Zilin was using this to tease her, as if he was laughing at her for acting too presumptuously about their relationship. It made her so embarrassed that Xu Moyan’s expression turned to one of utter sadness. Therefore, she silently pushed herself out of Wei Zilin’s arms and lowered her head without saying a word.
To be honest, she still did not have the self-confidence to be with Wei Zilin.
He might not have meant anything and might have simply been poking fun at her, but nevertheless, she was hurt by this.
As such, thing quickly became awkward. Right at that moment, Han Zhuoli’s voice could be heard coming from the phone that Wei Zilin had in his hands.
Wei Zilin uncovered the microphone on the phone and heard Han Zhuoli ask, “Anyone there?”
“We’ll be there. What time and place?” Wei Zilin asked.
“We’ll meet at Red Roof at 6 pm. I know both of you went there yesterday. It’s where you got together, right?” Han Zhuoli asked before adding coyly.
Wei Zilin did not want to continue chewing the fat with him, so he quickly said, “Okay, we’ll meet then.”
Then, he quickly hung up.
Luckily for him, Han Zhuoli did not stubbornly call him back.
Wei Zilin turned to look at Xu Moyan before pulling her into his arms again as he gently asked, “Are you mad at me?”
Xu Moyan shook her head. She was not exactly angry, but she was… a little upset.
Besides, it was difficult to be angry at him when he was speaking in his gentle, warm voice. Xu Moyan sighed in her heart. It so pathetic to be so enamored with his voice.
She could foresee any future arguments that she would have with Wei Zilin. He did not need to do anything but speak and she would immediately surrender – she really had zero resistance when it came to his voice.
“It was my fault. I didn’t consider your feelings at all and spoke without thinking. Actually, when I mentioned the wedding, I did mean our wedding. However, I could not help teasing you when I saw you squirm as it was so adorable, which was why I said I meant Lin Chu’s wedding instead. After realizing how I felt about you, I’ve already decided I want to marry you. I was just worried since we’ve only just started our relationship and that I might scare you off if I mentioned marriage so early. I’m also worried you won’t feel comfortable with things moving so fast. This could be a rash decision for us. Don’t be mad, it’s my fault,” Wei Zilin pulled her in tight.
Xu Moyan was just feeling a little depressed, but she had already managed to think things through after a moment. She was well-aware that she should not have been so angry over this small matter. Who would think about marriage on the first day of their relationship?
It was difficult to tell what would happen in the future.
Thus, all Xu Moyan could do was remain determined about staying with Wei Zilin for the rest of her life.
She had not expected Wei Zilin to say these words. It made her feel embarrassed with nowhere to hide.
“I’m really not mad. I’m just feeling a little depressed, that’s all. I’m not angry at all,” Xu Moyan said in embarrassment.
She was ashamed that Wei Zilin had actually apologized to her over something small like that.
Wei Zilin sighed and kissed her between the eyes. “I wish you were mad, because I really wanted to marry you.”
Xu Moyan was over the moon when she heard this. Her lips curved upward as she replied, “I’d like that too.”
Wei Zilin smiled and kissed her again. Then, he looked at the time and said, “I’ll tidy up a bit. We’ll need to leave for Red Roof in a while.”
Xu Moyan nodded as Wei Zilin returned to the bedroom to change his clothes. Meanwhile, Xu Moyan stayed in the living before heading to the washroom to check herself in the mirror. She thought that she looked okay and at the very least looked presentable enough.
She was lucky that she had taken the time to apply some make-up as she was on a date with Wei Zilin. With this, she looked pretty nice and was currently appealing enough to be presented to his friends.
She refreshed herself with a little more lipstick and she was soon ready to go.
Wei Zilin cleaned up really fast. Before they left, he put a scarf around Xu Moyan and wrapped her up tight leaving together.
They took the elevator directly to the car park and quickly got into the car. Because Xu Moyan was indoors throughout the journey, she did not feel cold at all.
When they got into the car, Wei Zilin turned on the heater full blast. Xu Moyan felt so warm that she had to take off the scarf.
When they got to Red Roof, it was only a short distance between the car park to the inside of the Red Roof. The short distance just so happened to be outdoors, but thankfully, they did not have to walk far, so it was not that cold either.
Nevertheless, Wei Zilin still wrapped up Xu Moyan with the scarf before allowing her to get out of the car.
He held on to her hand and put it into his coat pocket. Meanwhile, Xu Moyan’s other hand remain tucked into her own coat pocket.
Both of them walked close together as they walked side-by-side. They could feel the warmth of each other’s bodies radiating off to keep the other warm. Even though it was cold as it had just snowed, it did not affect them at all.
As they had been here the previous night, Xu Moyan soon realized that she did not feel too nervous. Han Zhuoli’s previous shenanigans might have given Xu Moyan a new impression of Wei Zilin’s friends. Thus, she no longer felt apprehensive about meeting them.
This time, they headed to Yan Beicheng’s private room. When they entered, Xu Moyan saw Lin Chu, who had just finished her confinement, making teasing faces at her.
In order to make her feel comfortable, Wei Zilin had specially arranged Xu Moyan for to sit next to Lin Chu while Wei Zilin sat on the other side of her.
“I would never have expected the two of you to be together,” Lin Chu said to her quietly.
Xu Moyan could feel Wei Zilin leaning especially close to her. Their arms were pressed against each other.
She felt safe as long as she could feel him. She quickly replied, “I never would have thought so too.”
“You look like you’re in great shape,” Xu Moyan observed Lin Chu’s condition. She looked even better than before her pregnancy.
It could be that the confinement center did a great job. Lin Chu looked red with health while her body had returned to its pre-pregnancy form. Her body looked even better than before, which could be because she was still breastfeeding. She remembered Lin Chu telling her that she no longer put on make-up for the sake of her child whilst even her fingernails had been cut short and filed so as to not accidentally hurt her son. Even for today’s gathering, all Lin Chu put on was a layer of simple, light foundation.
Nevertheless, even though she had not put on make-up, one could still see her delicate, healthy skin. She looked just as good as she would if she had instead put on exquisite make-up. She was also not wearing any artificial fragrances because of her son, but there was a light fragrance of milk on her. With that, her entire body exuberated a mother’s beauty and wisdom.
“My dear Moyan, what do you think of my suggestion on Weibo?” Nan Jingheng held a teapot in front of Xu Moyan whilst Wei Zilin took it before pouring a cup of hot tea for Xu Moyan.
“Drink some tea to warm yourself up,” Wei Zilin said. Even though it was warm indoors, they had just come in from outdoors. Thus, they could still feel the cold on their bodies.
As she had not seen Lin Chu for a quite a while and the room was filled with strangers, Lin Chu was an especially friendly face for Xu Moyan. Lin Chu had so much to ask her too. She wanted to ask how Xu Moyan was doing recently and what exactly was her relationship with Wei Zilin.
Both of them were excited about meeting each other, much like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Even if they were surrounded by many people, they did not seem to notice this at all.
Xu Moyan did not even take the time to catch her breath nor allow the cold to subside before immediately chatting with Lin Chu.
Despite this, Xu Moyan quickly realized that she had acted a little rude as she had failed to greet the others beforehand. Therefore, she held on to the hot teacup that Wei Zilin had passed to her and blew on it lightly, feeling embarrassed about her behaviour.
Wei Zilin must have guessed what she was thinking as his perfect, slender fingers lightly touched the hair around her ears, tucking a few stubborn strands behind her ear. He moved in close to her ear to say, “Just be yourself. You don’t need to think too much about it.”
