Imperfect Desires

529 Cheating On Me

Noticing the way Ying had been staring him down, Zhou Jinhai felt strange as he inquired, "Do you have something to say?" Ying nodded her head. "Then say it."

Ying propped her elbows on the table and said, "Jini, since you're such a meticulous person, it's hard to believe a person like you failed in love. How did you become so dumb back then?"

Zhou Jinhai's face stiffened at her remark. "Didn't you also become dumb in love?"?Ying squinted her eyes at him as he went on, "And stop calling me Jini."

Shrugging her shoulders indifferently, Ying played with the bracelet he gave her and said, "You don't mind when my grandma calls you Jin Jin, what's wrong with Jini?"

"Grandmother Shania is an elder. She can call me however she likes."

"I'm also older than you," replied Ying proudly. "Show some respect to this elder as well."

Zhou Jinhai shook his head her saying, "I suddenly doubt your credibility. I think I really should have looked for Uncle Zimen."

Ying became serious at she heard him and said, "Don't! You can't say anything to Zizi until I'm sure about what's going on." She genuinely didn't want Xin Zimen to get involved in this matter. Whether what she and Zhou Jinhai had in mind was true or not, it was inevitable that Xin Zimen would be hurt. And she was the last person who wanted to hurt Xin Zimen in any way.

Standing up to take her leave, she said, "Send me the details and I'll get back to you as soon as I find any clues." Zhou Jinhai nodded his head without arguing with her. "Also, I'm taking your advice very seriously." Zhou Jinhai's brows quirked up. "I'll bring a date to the wedding."

Zhou Jinhai gaped at her as she left the private room with her head held high. However, as soon as she walked out, her heart was in turmoil with the information she received. The mystery of Destiny... *Cough* she means the mystery of Bai Xiu was still not solved and another mystery of Chen Xiu was added to her list.

Just as she was planning on leaving, a hand grasped her arm and she looked up, "Gummy bear, I'm done talking. I'll do my best. Now, I'll be leaving."

"Not so fast," said her grandmother with a smile which really disturbed Ying as a premonition rose in her heart.

Seeing how she was being dragged towards the other side of the tea house, Ying was not sure what was going on now. "What's wrong now? Didn't you call me here to meet Jinhai? I already met him. stoop dragging me along."

"I still have something special planned for you." The way her grandmother emphasized on 'special' made Ying shudder. It was official, she was in trouble. But what was the trouble? Opening the door of another private room, Ying was shoved in as her grandmother said, "Be good to your blind date."

Banging on the door, Ying shouted, "Gummy bear! How can you do this to your granddaughter? I told you I have a boyfriend!"

"I don't believe you," came the calm reply from outside the door.

"Do you really think I'd lie about something like this just to escape a blind date?"

"Yes, I do believe you can!"

Ying was lost for words. Yes, she indeed was someone who could lie about having a boyfriend just to escape a blind date. But this was unacceptable!

"Gummy bear! Don't do this to me! I really like my boyfriend! Although he is silly, very clingy, and sometimes acts like a child, I still like him a lot! Let me out!"

"You have a boyfriend?"

Ying's brows knitted up when she heard this very familiar voice from behind her. She slowly turned her head and was startled when she saw the person standing before her eyes.

"Han Bohai?" Ying muttered looking in those familiar eyes that seemed to be raging right now.

....

Before she entered the private room, Han Bohai was sitting alone fidgeting with a phone against his ear as he screamed, "Uncle, this is really unfair! You said I'm meeting you. How come it's suddenly a blind date? And I a celebrity, do you really think I need a blind date to get a girlfriend?"

"With your previous history of being a monk, I do think you need a blind date to get a girlfriend."

Han Bohai was in disbelief when he heard this reply from his uncle. "Are you for real? I already like someone!"

"Yeah, I don't believe you."

"Such distrust in your nephew?"

"You have fooled me enough already."

Han Bohai could retort since he indeed had fooled his uncle enough. But it seriously wasn't his fault that he never dated after high school. In his senior year, he became Chen Xiu's personal assistant, and for the next four or so years, his life completely revolved around her. After her death, he did everything to reach the pinnacle of stardom to fulfill her wish. How could he have time to date?

"Xiao Han, don't ruin this blind date. You and I both can't afford to upset the other party. Be polite and stay there. Or else, don't call me uncle ever again."

"Now, you're emotional blackmailing me."

"You left me with no other choice." With that, the phone was hung up leaving Han Bohai frustrated.

Argh! I'd rather be chasing my mulish Ying'er than deal with a pampered princess! This is so unfair!

While he was complaining in his heart, he heard the door opening but didn't look up. He just heard some voices but decided to not pay any attention. He was gonna act like this until he heard those banging sounds and looked up to see a very familiar back.

Seeing Ying, he was so pleasantly surprised that he forgot to breathe or move. He could only stare at her back with a loving gaze. If this wasn't destiny then what was it? Even at a blind date, he was meant for her. How romantic!

But hold on a minute...

What did she mean by she had a boyfriend?

Is she cheating on me?!

How could she?!
