Zhang Wangming next to her glanced at her inconspicuously, with a scornful smile in his eyes.

Liu Mei is much easier to control now than before.

As for those who are only interested in their own interests, there are plenty of ways to deal with them once you really think it through.

"Fortunately, you told me the location of this park in your letter, otherwise I might have gone to the wrong place." Liu Mei changed the subject, then walked to a small shop nearby, bought two bottles of soda, and gave one to Zhang Wangming.

The two chatted as they walked and strolled along the tree-lined path in the park.

Halfway through the walk, Zhang Wangming complained that he felt a little hot, so he took off his coat, revealing a crisp white shirt underneath.

Then he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the watch on his wrist.

Liu Mei's eyes swept over Zhang Wangming's white shirt, the new shoes on his feet, the pen in his chest pocket, and the watch on his wrist.

After coming to the city to work, Zhang Wangming has become so particular about his appearance.

In the past, she had too many suitors around her, and Liu Mei was devoted to Jiang Sui, so she didn't pay much attention to Zhang Wangming.

But now it seems that Zhang Wangming is also a good choice.

Liu Mei took out a mirror and touched up her makeup while going to the bathroom.

Now the possibility of taking down Jiang Sui is slim, so she decided to try another approach.

Anyway, Zhang Wangming is also interested in me.

So the two of them strolled along until it was noon.

Zhang Wangming generously invited Liu Mei to have dinner at the Western restaurant next door.

Liu Mei, who had only been to a Western restaurant with Aunt Jenny, liked Zhang Wangming even more after seeing his generosity and magnanimity.

While eating, Zhang Wangming looked at Liu Mei's skilled movements and said with a little surprise: "You look like you have eaten here before?"

"Not here, I've eaten it somewhere else, in the provincial capital. My relative from abroad came to see me before. You should have an impression of it, right? I went there with her. She has been abroad for many years and likes to eat this." Liu Mei hinted that her conditions were also good.

"I seem to have some impression. I remember that when you asked for leave to visit your relatives, it seemed that I was covering for you. By the way, the cakes here taste very good, too. You must try them later." Zhang Wangming smiled and changed the subject.

Liu Mei has praised her foreign relative in front of him more than once.

He was tired of hearing it.

Halfway through the meal, the two were chatting, and Liu Mei suddenly asked Zhang Wangming if he had made any new friends.

Zhang Wangming followed the topic and began to talk to her about his new unit: "When I first entered this unit, I was indeed a little nervous, but fortunately my colleagues were all easy to talk to, and I also live here, so I got familiar with it pretty quickly."

Liu Mei and Zhang Wangming both grew up in the county town, but one lived in the south and the other in the north of the city. They had no intersection before going to Xiangjia Village.

Now that Zhang Wangming has been transferred back to the city to work through his family connections, Liu Mei is extremely envious.

"By the way, you said in your last letter that your family arranged several blind dates for you. How are the results now?" Liu Mei pretended to be indifferent and asked casually.

Zhang Wangming looked up at her with a half-smile: "Ever since I told you about the blind date in the letter, I have been waiting for your reaction. I didn't expect you to be so patient and only asked me about it now."

"I've been too busy at school recently, and I have other things to do, so I tend to forget when I'm busy. Today is a day off that I finally managed to squeeze out, and I just remembered it." Liu Mei complained slightly, "I really envy you! I saw in your letter that you have a lot of free time at work now, unlike us, who are still so tired."

"Everyone is the same," Zhang Wangming was not satisfied with Liu Mei's reaction. "I saw several blind dates and finally married one under the pressure of my parents. That girl has good conditions in all aspects. My parents liked her. I can't disobey my parents' orders!"

Liu Mei paused while cutting the meat gracefully: "Are you married now?"

Zhang Wangming lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "My parents started to pretend to be sick to force me. As a son, I really couldn't resist and had to get married."

"They are all excuses. You men love to make excuses. If you really don't want to get married, it's useless for your parents to force you, right?" Liu Mei snorted coldly. She didn't believe what Zhang Wangming said.

After spending several years together, Liu Mei knows Zhang Wangming very well. He is a man who talks a lot of nonsense.

This is also the reason why Liu Mei had been chasing Jiang Sui and never considered Zhang Wangming, whose conditions were slightly worse.

A man with sweet words... is too dangerous.

However, he now fits the criteria in her mind.

"If you don't believe me, then I can't help it," Zhang Wangming shrugged helplessly, "There are so many men and women in society who have to get married because of their parents' demands."

Seeing Zhang Wangming's desperate attitude, Liu Mei could only change her tone: "But your character and willingness to compromise with your parents really surprised me."

"My parents are old, and they pretend to be sick just to let me get married. I really can't bear it." While Zhang Wangming set himself up as a filial son, he also did not forget to subtly remind Liu Mei that he might still have her in his heart.

Liu Mei really understood what he meant: "What about your wife? What does she think of you?"

"We're just living together. I don't care what she thinks. It's not certain how long we can be together." Zhang Wangming said frankly, as if he could cheat at any time as long as Liu Mei was willing.

Liu Mei was pleased by his reaction. She glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and lowered her head to continue eating.

But after that, she never took the initiative to talk to Zhang Wangming again.

Liu Mei didn't want to rush into it. She wanted to confirm what Zhang Wangming was willing to do.

Especially since Zhang Wangming is married now, she doesn't want to be drowned in spit.

Liu Mei understands Zhang Wangming, and similarly, Zhang Wangming understands her too.

He could probably guess what Liu Mei was thinking.

But he was not in a hurry. The prey had not completely let down its guard yet, so the hunter could just be patient and wait.

Anyway, he was absolutely sure that he could catch this prey.

After they stopped chatting, the two of them ate significantly faster.

After the meal, Zhang Wangming stood up to pay the bill, and Liu Mei went to the bathroom to fix her makeup.

When they reached the door, Zhang Wangming asked Liu Mei in a gentlemanly manner: "Where are we going to stroll next?"

Liu Mei glanced at herself in the window and pointed to the distance: "Let's go to the department store. I'll buy something while I'm there."
