Chapter 1294: Qian Jun’s Wedding
Ever since Qian Jun listened to the doctor’s advice, he hasn’t smoked or drank alcohol. He wants children, so he is being very obedient.
Today, he certainly doesn’t plan to drink, especially since he has been looking forward to his wedding night for several days.
The dishes were served quickly. Yao Shimin and Liang Xiaoguang were responsible for hosting everyone.
Qian Jun went around the tables to toast, but he made it very clear, "I’ve quit smoking and drinking. So everyone, enjoy yourselves."
"Hey Qian Jun, on such a great day, aren’t you going to have a few drinks?"
"Yeah, it’s your big day today. How can you not drink?"
Qian Jun smiled, "Sorry everyone, I really don’t plan on drinking. Please understand, I’m eager to have a child, the doctor specifically advised me not to drink or smoke."
At this point, no one tried to persuade him to drink. Qian Jun’s situation is different; he is already thirty-six and still doesn’t have children, so it’s natural for him to be anxious.
Initially, Qian Jun hadn’t planned on being honest, but since it’s the truth, if he doesn’t say it, everyone will still be aware of what’s going on. So it’s better to be upfront.
"Alright, then when your son has his full-month celebration, you won’t be able to refuse a drink."
Qian Jun just smiled, thinking he needs to take good care of himself and now understands why Wei Kaiyun suddenly quit smoking and drinking.
That might have been when he got together with Jiang Xinyu, otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly changed like that. After all, he is twelve years older than Jiang Xinyu.
Although Qian Jun couldn’t drink, he could encourage others to drink, and since everyone was familiar, they drank together in small groups.
Inside, only Pan Xiulan and Qiao Jingyi were accompanying Wang Yanling for her meal.
They were all from the textile factory, but usually didn’t see each other as they rarely went to the workshop.
They were very curious about Wang Yanling and Qian Jun’s situation. However, they wouldn’t ask; maybe they might find out more later.
"Yanling, eat more."
"Hehe, you two as well, it’s just the three of us."
Looking at the playful little girl, Qiao Jingyi understood; Qian Jun liked someone like this. It makes sense; he’s already a successful person, and it’s normal to like such people.
Pan Xiulan didn’t hold back. "Yanling, you’re young, so be careful."
Seeing the puzzled look from the young girl, she realized Qian Jun hadn’t made a move yet. He indeed cared a lot about her.
Qiao Jingyi quickly changed the topic, "Yanling, how many days of leave did you take?"
"I took three days of leave."
"Why is your supervisor so strict? Only three days of leave?"
"Isn’t it always like this? Weddings are usually just three days of leave."
The two of them looked at the innocent little girl, hoping she would always stay this way.
"Yeah, it’s always three days of leave, and this was left over by Xinyu."
"Vice Factory Director Jiang is really amazing."
"Isn’t she? We were classmates in high school, and she could get into a prestigious university without continuing her studies. Out of everyone in our year, she performed the best."
"Vice Factory Director Jiang is impressive. I finished junior high and found it too hard; I didn’t want to continue at all," Wang Yanling said with a smile.
Pan Xiulan also nodded, "Right? I graduated high school, and when Xinyu got into university, I thought I’d give it a try, but I was originally quite energetic, yet when I picked up a book, I wanted to sleep. It’s like a sleep-inducing miracle drug."
After she spoke, all three burst into laughter.
The three were relatively unfamiliar, not knowing what to talk about, so discussing a common acquaintance became their shared language, preventing awkward silences.
Outside, the atmosphere was still lively. Qian Jun had already told Wang Yanling she didn’t need to come out to toast, so Wang Yanling sat comfortably on the bed.
Qiao Jingyi added coal to the stove before returning to accompany the bride.
Truthfully, she wasn’t suited for this task due to her straightforward nature, but Qian Jun didn’t find anyone else. If Xinyu were here, it wouldn’t be awkward, right?
Pan Xiulan brought up factory gossip, finally giving the three women something to chat about instead of just staring at each other.
No woman is uninterested in gossip, so the three became increasingly engrossed, feeling they were kindred spirits.
"I’ve heard that Zhao Tingting from the fifth workshop likes someone from the security department, but he doesn’t pay attention to her."
"I’ve heard that Zhao Tingting likes Vice Factory Director Liang instead.
Someone told me she wanted help from her family to become his secretary.
She’s trying to take advantage of proximity to succeed first."
"Really? The guy from the security department is handsome, while Vice Factory Director Liang may hold a higher position but can’t compare appearance-wise," Qiao Jingyi’s news wasn’t as abundant as Pan Xiulan’s.
"What’s the use of being handsome? Most people say Zhao Tingting is interested in Vice Factory Director Liang."
"I see, but Zhao Tingting isn’t as pretty as Yanling."
"How come? I think Zhao Tingting is much more beautiful than I am."
Qiao Jingyi suddenly leaned in gossipy with the two, "Do you think Zhao Tingting regrets it now?"
Pan Xiulan chuckled beside her, and Wang Yanling, unaware, quickly asked, "Regret what?"
"Of course, regretting not pursuing Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian’s position is higher than Vice Factory Director Liang’s."
Wang Yanling seriously considered this question.
"Zhao Tingting is prettier than me, she won’t compete with me for Qian Jun, will she?"
Seeing Wang Yanling startled, Qiao Jingyi and Pan Xiulan burst into laughter.
"Yanling, what are you worried about? You’re Mr. Qian’s wife now."
"You’re right, I was really startled just now."
Qiao Jingyi leaned closer to Wang Yanling, "Talk to Mr. Qian about this tonight."
"How should I say it?"
"Just ask if he would be interested in someone else."
Wang Yanling nodded, deciding she’d definitely ask tonight.
Looking at the pure little girl, both felt amused but saw potential for friendship in the future.
Women’s friendships form quickly, especially through gossip, and the three felt they had become good friends.
"Yanling, you must keep an eye on Mr. Qian. I’m telling you, many girls are interested in him, so be careful."
"But I can’t follow him around all the time; he’d get annoyed."
"Just be good to him, listen to him, and have a son quickly, that way he won’t change his heart," Qiao Jingyi affirmed.
"Is that really true?"
"Would I lie to you? I’m telling you, having a child early will make him treat you even better."
Wang Yanling remembered these words; her family had told her the same.
"Sister Qiao, thank you so much."
"Why thank me? I’m saying this all for your own good."
"I understand; I will be good to Qian Jun."
"That’s right, just make him feel so good he can’t do without you."
