"It's not too late!"
Gan Tang closed her eyes wearily. She had thought she liked Chu Jiahe, but when Chu Jiahe openly professed his love to her, she instinctively wanted to run away.
This subconscious reaction made her uncomfortable and filled her heart with torment. Gan Tang, you're just more traditional and can't accept premarital sex, it's not that you don't like him.
Gan Tang comforted herself in this way.
The rearview mirror reflected her conflicted unease. To the person in front, it looked like a helpless grievance. Mo Huaixing controlled his trembling hands, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and promised, "From now on, I'll go with you whenever we go out."
"No need!" Gan Tang leaned back lazily in her chair and said indifferently, "Jia He will be unhappy if he sees you."
Mo Huaixing asked with concern, "Aren't you worried that he might try something against you again?"
Gan Tang suddenly opened her eyes and said firmly, "Therefore, I must get Chu Jiahe to marry me as soon as possible."
"What?" Mo Huaixing thought he had misheard.
Gan Tang continued to mutter, "Even if we can't get married, an engagement would be fine." If they were engaged, she could use her marriage to Chu Jiahe as leverage to get Lu Zhengqian to let her parents off the hook.
Mo Huaixing's words were tinged with jealousy: "If you wanted to marry him so badly, why didn't you agree just now?"
"You think I don't want to?" Gan Tang tried to find a reasonable explanation, one that at least had nothing to do with the man in front of her. Luckily, she found one.
“I’m just worried that if his mother finds out, she won’t like me anymore. I broke a leg to make his mother like me.” As she spoke, she leaned against the back of Mo Huaixing’s driver’s seat and told him with certainty, “Thinking about how Jiahe was enduring it just now, my heart aches.”
A piercing horn blared, drowning out the sound of the sweet pear tree, but the horn couldn't keep going on forever.
Gan Tang picked at her ear, then leaned forward and asked, "I want to get engaged to Chu Jiahe as soon as possible. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Director Lu!" Mo Huaixing suddenly raised his voice: "Why should I help you?"
“We’re allies!” Gan Tang said, then, realizing she hadn’t helped him much, while he had been helping her all along, she felt embarrassed to ask, “What do you want? I’ll tell Dad.”
I want you to shut up!
“Okay, I think… sigh…” Gan Tang suddenly realized what was happening and said angrily, “Mo Huaixing, what do you mean?”
"Shut up!"
Seeing Mo Huaixing's expression, as if he had been kicked by a donkey, Gan Tang didn't dare to provoke him any further.
Shut up then, I'll figure it out myself.
Like every night he drove her home, the car slowly stopped outside the gate of Yuanhuai Villa.
As Gan Tang opened the car door to get out, Mo Huaixing called out to her, "If we want Chu Jiahe to get engaged as soon as possible, we have to take drastic measures."
"What kind of potent medicine?" Gan Tang jumped directly into the passenger seat.
Seeing her happy expression, Mo Huaixing tried his best to keep his voice calm: "Blind date."
Gan Tang nodded excitedly: "That's what I was thinking too. You don't know, when I lied to him on the high-speed train that I was going on a blind date, he kissed me for the first time, for a full ten minutes, and I couldn't breathe."
“Director Lu!” Mo Huaixing coughed and warned sternly, “You don’t need to tell me the details of your date, I’m not interested.”
"Oh!" Why are you angry? Gan Tang said with a smile, "I just gave you some evidence to praise your resourcefulness."
"I see you have a lot of ideas, so I don't need to think of a solution." Mo Huaixing got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side door, and opened the door.
The moonlight shone on his face, casting a shadow of sadness. Was it because of himself?
Gan Tang felt a sense of panic when she recalled Chu Jiahe's words that he had impure thoughts about her.
"Wait, please continue!"
Gan Tang got out of the car, stood in front of him, and moved closer to him little by little with small, hesitant steps.
The woman's warm breath brushed against the man's sensitive Adam's apple. Mo Huaixing lowered his head slightly, his swollen lips appearing even more alluring in the moonlight.
Such beauty, how wonderful it would be if I could kiss her myself.
Just as he was thinking this, those alluring red lips were within reach, and he could possess them with a slight lowering of his head.
Mo Huaixing abruptly banished the evil thoughts from his mind, took two steps back, and created a clear chasm between himself and the woman in front of him.
Later, Gan Tang didn't quite catch what he said, only that when she tried to kiss him, he instinctively pulled away.
The moonlight is cool and clear, so it only appears at night.
Gan Tang, he doesn't like you at all, what are you afraid of?
What you think others think is affection is nothing more than a pre-arranged act between you, have you forgotten?
Gan Tang smiled and waved goodbye to the departing car. Because she was afraid he might suddenly tell her that he liked her, she always told him how much she liked Chu Jiahe, both to warn him and to warn herself.
I hadn't realized I was overthinking things.
...
When Lu Zhengqian told him about the "blind date" plan, Lu Zhengqian was very satisfied with the arrangement.
Three days later, in a high-end coffee shop not far from the Lu Group, Gan Tang met her blind date, but she also encountered Chu Jiahe at the same time.
According to the plan, Chu Jiahe would arrive after receiving the news, but it wouldn't be this soon.
He sat in the quietest corner, chatting animatedly with a beautiful woman, like a scene from a painting. It turned out he was also there for a blind date, and had arrived even earlier than her.
The man who went on a blind date with Gan Tang had known Chu Jiahe since childhood. Although his family background was not as good as Chu Jiahe's, it was still astonishing to ordinary people.
"Brother Jiahe, are you two on a date?" Jiang Chen, being young and not yet adept at reading between the lines, greeted the woman opposite him, "Sister-in-law..."
"Jiang Chen, don't talk nonsense. This is Prosecutor Meng." Chu Jiahe interrupted Jiang Chen, looked at the silent girl beside him, and asked with a smile, "But you, why did you invite my girlfriend out?"
