The afternoon spring light shines obliquely through the glass window onto the wooden tabletop, and light, mellow smoke curls up from the coffee cup.

Yan Zheng lowered his eyes, half of his arm resting on his head, stirring the coffee slowly, looking a little bored.

Today was Saturday, my regular date with my blind date, Sai Baozhen. The cafe wasn't crowded, with people sitting scattered around in various corners, some chatting quietly, others staring at their computers.

After stirring his coffee idly for a while, Yan Zheng leaned back on the sofa and pinched the bridge of his nose. Sitting there waiting for someone was unbearable; every minute and every second seemed endlessly long.

He raised his eyes and looked around aimlessly, hoping to see the person he had been waiting for, or perhaps something interesting to help him pass the boring time.

Then, his gaze stopped at one point.

At the last table near the window, a young woman reading a book caught his attention.

Her stunning appearance made her the most prominent presence in the entire cafe, especially her fair skin, which seemed transparent in the sunlight. Her fingers with rose gold rings were slender and long, and her hair was also gilded with a gold-like color under the sunlight.

Yan Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and his hand on the table gently stroked the handle of the coffee cup.

I don’t know what interesting thing she saw, but the calm woman suddenly laughed softly, supported her forehead with her beautiful fingers, and her shoulders began to shake.

This made Yan Zheng curious about the contents of the book.

As if she heard his thoughts, the woman moved her body, picked up the book with one hand, and reached for the coffee cup with the other, her eyes never leaving the pages.

Er Zheng's gaze also shifted from the woman's face to the book. The cover had no design sense, a large orange cover with only white in the middle. There were a few eye-catching and large bold words on it -

How to please a rich man.

When the last word was lost in his lips, he laughed in silence, with an indescribable emotion, perhaps regret or amusement.

The noise startled a woman who was typing on the keyboard next to her. The woman frowned and looked at him. Yan Zheng coughed lightly and gave her an apologetic look.

The woman turned her head and continued to be busy. Yan Zheng couldn't help but cast his gaze on the young woman again. Now he was only filled with curiosity.

The book was put back on the table. The woman tilted her head back and drank her coffee. When she raised her hand, her sleeve slipped down, revealing the watch on her wrist. The watch had the iconic sky blue dial, inlaid with dazzling diamonds.

It seems that the young lady's efforts have paid off, Yan Zheng thought.

After a while, a sound came from the entrance. Yan Zheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Sai Baozhen, who was a little overweight and wearing a professional dress, walking towards him.

"You've been waiting for a long time." Sai Baozhen pulled out the chair opposite Yan Zheng, put the briefcase beside her, and asked while panting slightly.

"Not bad." Yan Zheng smiled lightly, gently and beautifully.

Sai Baozhen was slightly stunned. Although they had known each other for more than a month, she was still attracted by the face in front of her every time they met.

Strictly speaking, Yan Zheng is not a handsome guy. Although his skin is fair, his facial features are not delicate enough. He is also too tall, with a height of 1.75 meters, which is far beyond the reach of most men.

Fortunately, he has a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. When he smiles, the light flows like spring water, which is very charming.

It's like an ordinary painting, but because of the finishing touch of a famous artist, the whole painting becomes vivid and lifelike.

Of course, apart from this face, what attracted Sai Baozhen the most was Yan Zheng's family background.

Yan Zheng's parents are both medical professors, and they only have this one son, which means that as long as she marries this man, she will get all of his property and connections.

Sai Baozhen felt excited when she thought of this. She had worked hard all the way from a small city, just to gain a foothold in the big city and get rid of the life of her ancestors who faced the loess and back to the sky.

Although she now owns a house in a big city through her own efforts, compared with the natives of this city, she has only just reached their starting point.

If she could marry a man like Yan Zheng who has a good family background and strong personal abilities, it would undoubtedly bring about a qualitative change in her life, and even the entire family would become different.

Apart from being a little older, this marriage partner can be said to be impeccable.

"Ma'am, what would you like to drink?" A staff member came over and interrupted Sai Baozhen's confused thoughts.

"A glass of lemonade." She leaned back in the chair, her left leg casually resting on her right leg, her chin slightly raised.

The waiter said wait a moment and left.

Yan Zheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, and the muscles on his face suddenly stiffened.

The unique bitterness of black coffee spread in his mouth and was transmitted to the central nervous system through the root of the tongue, making his originally sleepy head much clearer.

Sai Baozhen looked at him amusedly. "Sometimes I'm really curious. Why do you like drinking something as bitter as black coffee so much? Aren't men supposed to like sweet drinks like milk tea?"

"It can refresh you." Yan Zheng put down the coffee cup and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Sai Baozhen was momentarily speechless at such a simple and crude answer. She blinked and said sarcastically, "That's really concise."

Yan Zheng just smiled without saying a word, his eyes and brows showing the maturity and charm that is unique to a man in his thirties.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Sai Baozhen found a topic, tapping her index finger lightly on the table with a smile on her face.

Yan Zheng pursed his lips, his tone a little hesitant: "Sorry, my colleagues are having dinner tonight."
