Inside a Beijing restaurant…

His gaze calm, Fu Chen rubbed his prayer beads with his fingers. The warm water in front of him had already cooled, but there was still no one opposite him.

He went to his parents’ home to have lunch with them today, and his mother mentioned the blind date again. Naturally, he refused her. But what followed next was his mother slamming her chopsticks on the table.

“I’ve already heard from Wanwan. Don’t try to act all pure and innocent in front of me and tell me you’re a Buddhist.

“We know all about your eating vegetarian food all day long and pretending in front of your father and me. You must go on this blind date even if you don’t want to go.

“If you don’t go, don’t ever come back in the future. I have many sons, so I don’t mind losing one. You’re not young anymore, yet you’re still making me worry.”

Fu Chen’s expression was calm. “What did she say to you?”

“Why are you asking this? Do you want to retaliate against her? Let me tell you, if she loses even a single strand of hair, I won’t let you off. Being petty with a little girl, you’re quite capable, aren’t you?”

Fu Chen lowered his head and didn’t say anything.

“It’s tonight. I’ve already arranged the time and place for you. Even if you just show your face and go through the motions, you still have to go.”

“I’m busy.” Fu Chen already had someone in his heart, so he was naturally more resistant to this kind of thing.

“Alright, I’ll pack my things and move in with you right away. I want to see what you’re busy with all day.” Old Madam Fu looked at him coldly, looking as if she wouldn’t give up if he didn’t go.

Song Fengwan was about to return to Yuncheng soon, and the rest of her senior year would be even more stressful. There’s already not much time to spend with her. If she moves to my place, it will be even worse.

Fu Chen had no choice but to go and go through the motions.

He arrived on time, but the other party was already half an hour late.

The other party was also introduced by someone else. Since he was already here, Fu Chen didn’t leave immediately out of courtesy. But when he heard that Song Fengwan was here, he couldn’t sit still anymore.

***

Song Fengwan originally didn’t want to come out with Duan Linbai. The two of them weren’t that close, and he was going with his friends whom she didn’t know, so she didn’t want to join in the fun.

On the way there, his friend called to rush him, but he said that he wasn’t going.

He said something along the lines of he had a girl by his side and didn’t need a bunch of smelly men. Hearing this, Song Fengwan was very amused.

After parking the car, Duan Linbai brought her into a restaurant.

“Didn’t you say we’re going to eat hotpot?”

“I suddenly remembered that this place has better food. After we’re done eating, I’ll bring you out to play. If you bury your head in books and study all day, it’ll be easy for you to become a bookworm. You have to combine work with rest.” As soon as Duan Linbai entered the restaurant, he started looking around everywhere.

The restaurant had a membership system, so there were very few people here. Fu Chen was also very eye-catching, so he spotted him at a glance. He then pulled Song Fengwan to sit diagonally behind Fu Chen.

The view was open and suitable for peeping.

“Young Master Duan, what would you like to order?”

“The same as usual. Give her a…” Duan Linbai pondered for a moment. “… kid’s meal set.”

Song Fengwan’s pupils dilated. I’m already so old. Why would I eat a kid’s meal set?

“This set meal is very nutritious.” Duan Linbai’s mind wasn’t on ordering the food at all. He dismissed the waiter and stared at Fu Chen intently.

Only then did Song Fengwan realize that something was odd with him and followed his gaze. Although she could only see the back of his head, she could recognize that it was Fu Chen with one look.

She turned her head around guiltily. Fu Chen’s here on a blind date all because of me.

She was still thinking about avoiding Fu Chen recently, yet Duan Linbai directly rushed here. He obviously planned this beforehand. He’s deliberately setting me up…

“Third Fu is usually very stubborn. Why did he start going on blind dates all of a sudden? So strange,” Duan Linbai mumbled while eating the dried fruits on the table.

Song Fengwan lowered her head guiltily and kept drinking water.

When she heard the waiter say “Welcome”, she looked up and saw a woman approaching.

The woman was wearing an off-shoulder white sweater and black pants and had a coat hanging on her elbow. Her collarbone was exquisite, her skin was fair, her ink-black hair hung down behind her waist, and the curve of her breasts was even more impressive.

The bag in her hand was also a classic model from a popular brand. She looked elegant and gracious yet also had a hint of pride.

“This way, please.” The waiter led her over.

She walked past Song Fengwan in her high heels of more than ten centimeters and left behind a hint of intoxicating perfume.

Song Fengwan looked down at her own chest. Hm…

It should still grow.

She sized up the woman’s clothes again. Compared to her, I’m really dressed like a child.

Fu Chen was the only one sitting in the direction the woman was walking. She walked over and sat down opposite Fu Chen as expected.

Song Fengwan peeked carefully from the corner of her eye. As someone who can go on a blind date with Third Master, she’s indeed stunning.

“She’s quite pretty. Old Madam’s pick is really not bad.” It was unknown if Duan Linbai was doing it on purpose or not, but he insisted on talking to Song Fengwan. “Look at her. She’s so fair, pretty, and has long legs. She even looks cool when she walks.”

“Does Third Master like this type of woman?” Song Fengwan asked in a muffled voice.

“What do you think?” Duan Linbai didn’t dare say definite words.

Song Fengwan lowered her head silently. As a girl, her face and figure are already pleasing to my eyes, let alone a man.

***

In fact, this woman deliberately showed up late. Although her family background wasn’t as good as the Fu family’s, she thought highly of herself and had high self-esteem. Someone like Fu Chen must have seen all kinds of women, just like Cheng Lan who stuck to him like glue.

So she definitely couldn’t show too much enthusiasm and should play hard to get.

Her outfit today looked simple, but she had carefully matched even the color of her earrings. She wanted to leave a deep impression on Fu Chen.

In the past, she had never had the chance to come into contact with Fu Chen, so she naturally didn’t know what he looked like. Now that she saw him, she finally understood why Cheng Lan had tried so hard to get close to him.

“Third Master, sorry I’m late. I walked here, so it took some time.”

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. “You live on the east side of the city, right? The restaurant is on the west side, so it takes around three to four hours to walk here. The weather is so cold, so it must have been hard on you.” This person was someone his mother introduced, so naturally, he had already checked all her basic information.

The woman’s face instantly collapsed.

He’s scheming and vicious-tongued and not giving me any face at all.

“Yeah…” She forced a smile, feeling very awkward.

Song Fengwan couldn’t hear what the two of them were saying, but she saw that the woman was laughing throughout.

She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. What are they talking about so happily?

The more she listened, the more ear-piercing it was.

“Big Brother Duan, I’m going to the restroom.” Song Fengwan stood up and left.

Duan Linbai watched the show as he chewed on the dried fruit happily.

Not long later, Fu Chen also stood up. When he passed by Duan Linbai, he gave him a cold look.

Duan Linbai lowered his head guiltily and started to pretend that he was dead. But seeing Fu Chen also go to the restroom, he sat feeling reassured.

It was only then that the woman saw Duan Linbai. She nodded and smiled at him, her sitting posture even more dignified.

She thought that Duan Linbai was here to help Fu Chen take a look and evaluate his blind date. It was normal to bring a few friends when going on a blind date. Seems like Fu Chen takes this blind date seriously. He even invited the young master of the Duan family.

She was secretly feeling proud of herself.

Little did she know that at this moment, Fu Chen was blocking Song Fengwan at the entrance of the restroom.
