Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 119 - 116: Simply Doesn’t Care

"Did you two find the heart to come back?" Jin Jin asked Yan Yan and Qi Yi as soon as they returned to the banquet hall, taking the lead.

"Actually, we didn’t leave, but where do I even start with coming back?" Yan Yan asked Jin Jin.

"I should really let everyone see this shameless couple showing off their love at someone else’s wedding," Jin Jin said contemptuously. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Jiji, has Yan Yan offended you in any way? I heard she took the initiative to settle accounts with you?" Qi Yi joined in the conversation between "Jiji and Waiwai".

"Today is Liu Siyan’s wedding, not yours. Do you really need to be so protective of your wife?" Jin Jin was still holding on to the previous incident.

"If it were my wedding, I definitely wouldn’t be protecting Yan Yan. Would a cooked duck be afraid of flying away? It’s only because it’s not yet time to cook the duck that I have to be careful," Qi Yi knew how to speak in a way that would make a resentful Jin Jin temporarily let go of her "hatred".

"Who are you calling a duck?" In Yan Yan’s dictionary, self-deprecation could be limitless, but being ridiculed by others was absolutely unacceptable.

Qi Yi’s recent words clearly deserved a beating.

Yan Yan felt she definitely needed to pinch him a couple of times to teach Qi Yi a lesson.

Qi Yi was good at choosing his moments to speak, and when Yan Yan really was about to pinch him, many female classmates eager for gossip about Qi Yi’s secret keeping of Yan Yan had already gathered around.

If Yan Yan had really taken action at that moment, it would be just as Jin Jin criticized, purely showing off their love at someone else’s wedding.

"Secret keeping? What are you talking about? My QQ was broken a few years ago and I haven’t logged on since. Liu Siyan just called me, I’m going to see if he needs any help. You lovely ladies have a good chat," said Qi Yi, standing at the bridesmaids’ table.

Not wanting to become the center of gossip, using the groom as an excuse to slip away was definitely the best choice.

After all, Qi Yi was "taking the lead" today, and everyone thought he was actually the chief groomsman.

Qi Yi’s push-ups were definitely not done for nothing.

This slip away was only natural.

Qi Yi found Liu Siyan in the makeup room.

Liu Siyan’s makeup was quickly fixed, and he sat aside waiting for the bride to retouch her makeup and change her hairstyle and veil.

Starting from the reception, this moment was the most leisurely for Liu Siyan.

"Congratulations to both of you. Lu Ying and you are finally married. When will it be your turn?" Liu Siyan asked Qi Yi.

"I don’t have the good fortune you have, having a girlfriend who never mentions breaking up. This is the fruition of a long-term love for you. Meanwhile, Yan Yan and I have only just reunited. I think my road is still long, and it won’t happen so soon," Qi Yi and Liu Siyan actually had a good relationship too.

However, Liu Siyan spoke little, and Qi Yi wasn’t talkative either. Between men, there’s rarely those endless chats over the phone.

"She doesn’t mention it?" Liu Siyan pointed at Lu Ying and asked Qi Yi.

"If she doesn’t mention breaking up three times a month, she feels uneasy," said Liu Siyan with a helpless look.

Qi Yi was a bit stunned; he had never heard Liu Siyan mention this before.

Seeing Qi Yi speechless, Liu Siyan knew his last comment had hit home:

"Seriously? Yan Yan mentions breaking up just once and you break up? You’re not going to tell me that’s how you broke up in high school? If breaking up every time someone mentions it was enough, most men in the world would be bachelors."

Liu Siyan was in a good mood today, so he was more talkative than usual.

"Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Qi Yi thought seriously for a moment and began to feel that he had been a bit naive back then. Why should he break up just because Yan Yan said so?

Moreover, the principle Liu Siyan just explained was incredibly simple.

Qi Yi suddenly found it a bit funny.

Had his intelligence stopped being online since then?

Yan Yan was right. I couldn’t judge my younger self, who wasn’t even an adult, with the intelligence of someone in their twenties.

"Yan Yan, can you tell Qi Yi that when the wedding finishes, we’ll continue with our class meeting?" Chu Ying had been looking for Qi Yi for a while, and upon failing, decided to relay the message through Yan Yan.

As the "shadow class leader" of Liu Siyan’s wedding Classmates Department, Chu Ying seriously informed every classmate face to face that there would be an After Party after today’s wedding.

"Are you sure Liu Siyan will still be able to stand and leave the hotel afterward?" Yan Yan was somewhat puzzled.

"Here in Wenzhou, they don’t drink real alcohol. They pour mineral water into the smallest baijiu glasses and even add a cherry for show. As long as the groom’s team and bridesmaid’s team don’t stir up trouble, the newlyweds won’t drink much. I’ve already told the groom’s party, and you should tell the bridesmaids as well—wait until you go to the After Party to get Lu Ying drunk." Chu Ying had already made a "contingency plan".

Liu Siyan and Lu Ying’s wedding was in the grand banquet hall of the Shangri-La Hotel in Wenzhou. Chu Ying thought over and over that moving so many classmates around during Wenzhou’s traffic jams seemed like a waste of time.

If it was delayed until the next day, many classmates who had to work in other places on Monday would already have left.

In the end, the shadow class leader reserved a multipurpose hall in the Shangari-La Hotel for the class meeting.

This made it as convenient as moving upstairs from downstairs—there couldn’t be an easier arrangement.

The considerate nature of "Women’s Best Friend" was obvious from this.

"Chu Ying, your experience with weddings is really extensive," Yan Yan said to Chu Ying cheerfully.

At first listen, the comment seemed harmless, but upon further reflection, one could spot the trap.

Chu Ying wasn’t one to beat around the bush, so she completely missed the underlying tone in Yan Yan’s words, leaving behind only a "Make sure you tell everyone then," and went off to get busy with other things.

As Yan Yan sat down at the bridesmaids’ table, Ren Jing found an opening and started gossiping: "When will it be you and Qi Yi’s turn? You two coming hand in hand to the wedding, and Liu Siyan and Lu Ying taking the spotlight, you must feel quite overshadowed, right?"

"Uh—To talk about the splendor of weddings, isn’t there no first-come, first-served rule?" Yan Yan asked kindly in return.

"That means you have a plan then? Just don’t rush it—we haven’t saved enough money for the red envelopes yet!" The Bridesmaid Team started their collective gossip.

"Mm, don’t worry. You might skip the wedding, but the red envelopes are a must. For your red envelopes, I definitely won’t rush into marrying myself off—" Yan Yan’s counter-gossip skills were inherited from her skills in countering any opposition.

Instead of saying things like "Hey, you’re thinking too much", "We’re not at the stage of getting married yet", or "One of us is in the United States, the other in Australia, how could we possibly get married?", it was better to go along with what people were saying.

After all, it wasn’t a courtroom, and there was no need to be held accountable for her own words.

Since the classmates were keen on gossiping, why not let them gossip properly? It was not as if it would cost her anything.

If Qi Yi knew what Yan Yan was thinking, he would surely regret having so willingly accepted his punishment.

Yan Yan didn’t care about being "revenge" at the wedding at all.

She was already skilled at handling malignant targeting; naturally, she could handle the benign jabs from classmates at her own wedding effortlessly.
