Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyue quickly said, "President Fu, I understand. You're undecided, so you've come to me to ask for my advice?"
After all, Jiang Xinyue is married and has children, so she can be considered quite experienced.
Moreover, she understood a woman's heart better than Fu Heng did.
Looking at Jiang Xinyue's puzzled expression, Fu Heng smiled wryly and said, "You've misunderstood. I don't want to go on a blind date, but I can't go against my dad's wishes. So I want you to help me put on a show so that the blind date will back down."
"Huh?" Jiang Xinyue hesitated. "Mr. Fu, is this really okay? What if your parents find out..."
Fu Heng looked at Jiang Xinyue with a determined gaze: "Xinyue, we can't worry about that now. As long as we can get out of this blind date, I'll handle the rest."
Jiang Xinyue bit her lip, but finally nodded: "Alright then, Mr. Fu, I hope it won't cause you too much trouble."
The two entered the restaurant, where their blind date, Lin Wei, had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Mr. Fu, you've finally arrived."
When Lin Wei saw Fu Heng, an elegant smile appeared on her face, but when she saw Jiang Xinyue next to Fu Heng, her smile froze instantly.
"Mr. Fu, and who is this?"
“Hello! I am…” Jiang Xinyue extended her hand, about to introduce herself.
At this moment, Fu Heng naturally put his arm around Jiang Xinyue's shoulder and said first, "Excuse me, Miss Lin, this is my girlfriend Jiang Xinyue. I didn't know today was a blind date. My father arranged it without my knowledge."
Lin Xiao's face turned ugly. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Mr. Fu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Jiang Xinyue stood awkwardly to the side, unsure of what to say.
Why did she feel a chill run down her spine when she was asked to pretend to be his girlfriend and save him from this blind date?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant became extremely awkward.
"That's right, she's my girlfriend. Ms. Lin, I think tonight's blind date is over."
Lin Wei bit her lip and said unwillingly, "Mr. Fu, even if you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't tease me like this."
Fu Heng frowned slightly, his tone tinged with apology: "Miss Lin, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to tease you. It was just that my father made the arrangements without my consent, and I only found out when I arrived."
Lin Wei snorted coldly, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Xinyue. "Hmph, since that's the case, I won't say anything more. But Mr. Fu, are you sure this Miss Jiang is really your girlfriend? She seems more like someone you pulled in at the last minute to save the day."
Jiang Xinyue's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Fu Heng.
Fu Heng remained calm and held Jiang Xinyue tightly. "Miss Lin, you're overthinking it. Xinyue and I have a very good relationship. It was our fault for causing you to misunderstand today."
Lin Wei persisted, taking out her phone, "Since that's the case, then please let me see some photos of you two spending time together, so I can finally give up."
Fu Heng and Jiang Xinyue exchanged a glance; neither of them had expected Lin Wei to pull this stunt.
Jiang Xinyue's mind raced, and she whispered in Fu Heng's ear, "How about I Photoshop a few pictures with my phone now?"
Fu Heng almost burst out laughing. He lowered his voice and replied, "No need, leave it to me."
Fu Heng looked at Lin Wei, "Miss Lin, if I prove that Xin Yue is my girlfriend, will you believe that what I'm saying is true?"
"Of course," Lin Wei answered without hesitation.
Fu Heng curled his thin lips into a smile, and the next second, in front of Lin Wei, he put his arm around Jiang Xinyue's shoulder and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Faced with Fu Heng's sudden action, Jiang Xinyue was shocked, her eyes widened, and she froze on the spot.
Lin Wei's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Her hand, which was tightly gripping her phone, trembled slightly, and her nails almost dug into her palm.
"You...you all..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak coherently, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Mr. Fu, you're really something!"
After saying that, she turned around abruptly, picked up the water glass on the table, and splashed it at them.
"Pah, you scumbag!"
Seeing this, Fu Heng instinctively hugged Jiang Xinyue tightly, using his back to block the plain water that Lin Wei splashed at him.
Jiang Xinyue nestled in Fu Heng's arms, still reeling from the shock.
Seeing this, Lin Wei was furious and turned to leave.
Her high heels clattered angrily on the floor as she strode out of the restaurant.
An eerie silence fell over the restaurant, and all eyes were on Fu Heng and Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Xinyue's cheeks were burning. She gently pushed Fu Heng away, her voice trembling slightly, "Fu Heng, you...you let go of me."
Fu Heng then came to his senses, let go of her hand, and said apologetically, "Xin Yue, I'm sorry, the situation was too sudden just now."
Jiang Xinyue lowered her head, not daring to look at the people around her. She gently wiped the water-soaked parts of Fu Heng's back with her hand and whispered, "How are you? Is the water hot?"
Fu Heng shook his head slightly. "I'm fine. But you, were you scared?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head. "I'm fine."
Fu Heng was immediately embarrassed, scratching the back of his head, and said, "Just now, what I did was indeed abrupt. Xin Yue, I just wanted to..."
Jiang Xinyue knew that Fu Heng was referring to the kiss, so she quickly said, "It's alright, Mr. Fu. I know you were just trying to appease Miss Lin Wei. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."
Fu Heng looked at Jiang Xinyue, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him. He felt grateful for her understanding, but also as if his actions had crossed a delicate line. "Xinyue, I'm glad you think this way. It's just that this has caused such a stir, and I expect it will reach my father's ears soon."
Jiang Xinyue frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "What should we do then? Mr. Fu, if your father finds out, will he blame you?"
Fu Heng gave a helpless bitter smile: "You'll definitely be blamed, but we can't worry about that now. At least let's get through this blind date first. But I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to continue acting with me later."
Jiang Xinyue bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "President Fu, this can't go on forever. You need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with your father and express your attitude."
Fu Heng nodded. "You're right. I've been looking for the right opportunity too. It's just that my dad is too stubborn; it's hard to change his mind."
As the two were talking, the restaurant manager came to them again, all smiles: "Mr. Fu, Ms. Jiang, I'm so sorry for what happened just now, it affected your dining experience. To express our apologies, our restaurant will treat you to dinner tonight, and we've also prepared a small gift for you both."
Fu Heng waved his hand, "Manager, this isn't your fault, it's our own problem. But we don't need the gifts, the meal expenses will still be settled as normal."
The manager insisted, "Mr. Fu, please don't refuse. This is just a small token of our restaurant's appreciation."
Seeing the manager's sincere attitude, Fu Heng stopped refusing and said, "Alright then, thank you very much."
“Mr. Fu, it just so happens that today is your birthday. Why don’t you open the gift and take a look?” Jiang Xinyue suddenly remembered that Fu Heng had said that today was his birthday.
