Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses. Just as they were about to drink, Qiao Anhao, who was sitting beside Xu Jiamu, reached out to grab the wine glass in his hand. She replaced it with a glass of water and placed it in front of him. She then gently explained to everyone at the table, "Brother Jiamu can't drink right now."
Everyone thought that Xu Jiamu had just undergone surgery to restore his appearance, so they didn't force him.
Qiao Anxia, on the other hand, smiled and teased Qiao Anhao. "Qiao Qiao, you really are protective of Jiamu."
Xu Jiamu smiled but didn't say a word. He replaced the wine with water and drank with everyone.
The spicy alcohol slid down Lu Jinnian's throat, but he felt a hint of bitterness.
Xu Jiamu's dishes tasted pretty good. Everyone at the table thought that Xu Jiamu and Qiao Anhao were husband and wife, so someone couldn't help but tease, "Xiao Qiao, you're so lucky to be able to eat young master Xu's delicacies every day."
Since someone started teasing, others started to follow suit. "But then again, Jiamu, your wedding with Xiao Qiao was a little too hasty. You didn't invite many of us here. Now that your appearance has recovered, shouldn't you find a time to make up for it with a big wedding?"
"That's right, Jiamu, you didn't even have a wedding. How can you face Xiao Qiao, how can you face all of us?"
Even though Xu Jiamu and Qiao Anhao knew that there would never be a wedding, before the engagement was canceled, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to reveal a single flaw. Xu Jiamu even went along with everyone's topic and said with a smile, "Of course, I'll definitely make up for Qiao Qiao's wedding."
From start to finish, Qiao Anhao maintained a slight smile and didn't say a word. When Xu Jiamu said that, she couldn't help but glance over at Lu Jinnian from the corner of her eyes. His expression was still cold and aloof. He quietly drank his wine, as though the topic at the table had nothing to do with him. Qiao Anhao couldn't help but clutch the chopsticks in her hands. Even though she said that she didn't love him anymore, seeing his indifferent expression when others were teasing her about her relationship with another man still made her feel a little sad.
"Don't just make up for the wedding, you have to make up for the proposal too. Xiao Qiao, let me tell you, if young master Xu doesn't propose, you can't agree."
"We're already married. What can't we agree to?"
"You can't agree to have children!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you can't agree to have children!"
"Xiao Qiao, remember to call us when you propose. We'll help you check if you're not sincere enough. You can't give Young Master Xu a child."
Give birth to a child... Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu's child... In that instant, Lu Jinnian thought of the child that had been strangled in his stomach before it was even born... He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wine glass.
He couldn't figure out what was so funny about that sentence, but everyone at the table couldn't stop laughing. He calmly waited for everyone to change the topic, and when no one was paying attention, his gaze silently fell on Qiao Anhao. She had her head lowered, calmly nibbling on the drumstick Xu Jiamu had given her.
Lu Jinnian only stared for five seconds before averting his gaze. He tilted his head back and downed the glass of wine in one gulp. He stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
