Chapter 1600: Chapter 1615: Acquaintance

If Xiao Xiao’s going to transfer to Imperial Medical University next semester, she really has no reason to say no—they’ll be together forever.

An Ran suddenly dragged Xiao Xiao away. The few women outside had no idea what was going on, but after spending half a day together, they were all familiar with each other now.

One of the Mu Family’s female secretaries pulled Wang Xiaoyi over and asked, "What’s up? That girl just now is your classmate too, right?"

The secretaries only knew An Ran was bringing two classmates to be bridesmaids. Since they were students with low alcohol tolerance, they’d been sent over to help An Ran block drinks. They had no idea about the relationship between Xiao Xiao and Lin Junyang.

Wang Xiaoyi nodded, a bit embarrassed. "We’re all classmates. She’s An Ran’s bestie. She’s also here to be An Ran’s bridesmaid this time."

"I heard you say just now that she came with Young Master Lin? Does she have some kind of relationship with Young Master Lin?" another female secretary asked.

Right now, Lin Ruonan was over with Gu Haoyu and hadn’t come back yet. With no outsiders around, the gossip factor among the few women ramped up even more.

The relationship between Xiao Xiao and Lin Junyang wasn’t some shameful secret. Now it looked like the two of them had taken things a step further. Wang Xiaoyi had nothing to hide, but since Xiao Xiao hadn’t spelled things out, she herself wasn’t entirely clear on what they were now, so she just told it like it was.

"If that’s the case, then it’s basically a done deal," one of the female secretaries said decisively. "What woman in the Imperial doesn’t know the Five Young Masters of the Imperial? Young Master Lin is no different from Young Master Gu and Young Master Mu, okay? In women’s eyes, they’re all the abstinent type. But ’abstinent’ still depends on the person. Look, ever since Young Master Gu got together with Miss Lin, how long has it been? He’s already coaxed Miss Lin’s belly bigger. And our Young Master Mu—he didn’t get the nickname Cold-faced Yama for nothing. There’s never been a woman around him. And now? With Miss An, he’s about to step into the halls of marriage. So, if Young Master Lin is personally picking her up and taking her home, she is absolutely a candidate for future Young Madam Lin. Otherwise, why would he even bother to look at you?"

"That’s true," another woman agreed. "I seriously envy Miss Xiao for having a bestie like Miss An, and for getting to know a man like Young Master Lin. Oh right, Xiaoyi, aren’t you just as close with Miss An? Being near the water first to get the moon and all that—plus there are still Young Master Chen and Young Master Sun, two solid gold bachelors. Don’t let them slip by. Work harder—after you finish being Miss An’s bridesmaid, you should snag one for yourself."

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you say that? I came to be Miss An’s bridesmaid and I’m still hoping she’ll assign me a groomsman. Look at us—how many of the bridesmaids are single? Then look at the groomsmen—there are only two gold bachelors left. If Miss Wang grabs one more, won’t that make the wolves even more and the meat even less for the rest of us?" a female secretary protested, practically hopping mad.

The girls all burst out laughing.

A wedding’s supposed to be a lively occasion to begin with, and when girls get together to chat, they stop holding back even more. Stuff like this, once it’s said out loud, is half-joking, half-serious; nobody’s going to take it too literally.

Only the smile on Wang Xiaoyi’s face didn’t quite reach her eyes. She stared at the tightly closed door, her gaze shimmering, no one knowing what she was thinking.

When An Ran and Xiao Xiao came out, there were even more people outside. The bridesmaids were huddled together, plotting ways to prank the groom tomorrow. Seeing them emerge, Wang Xiaoyi waved at Xiao Xiao. "Xiao Xiao, come here! You’re full of ideas—see if you can come up with anything else. We absolutely can’t let Instructor Mu marry away the beauty of our class that easily."
