Wen Shu had to come up with a foolproof plan; she was prepared for a long-term tug-of-war with the Li family.
Wen Shu knew, of course, that she was at a disadvantage in every aspect. Insulting her for not seeking outside help meant she was doomed to lose.
Her baby is her life, and she will never let anyone take her baby away.
Even the Li family won't do!
Grandma said with a heavy heart, "What are we going to do if this continues?"
Grandma said regretfully, "If we had known it would turn out like this, we would have left the north of the city back then!"
If they had taken Rou Rou with them when they left Beicheng, they would not have run into Li Duo. As long as they didn't run into Li Duo, no one would have discovered that Rou Rou was Li Duo's child.
Wen Shu comforted her grandmother, "Grandma, don't worry, we will never let Rou Rou be taken away by anyone."
Inside a private room at the Jin Ding Hotel.
Wen Shu stood at the door of the private room. She took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked. Ma Jun's voice came from inside, "Come in."
Wen Shu reached out and pushed the door open.
Ma Jun wore a red suit and red high heels, with beautiful long waves cascading down her back, making her look free and elegant.
She leaned back in her chair. "Shushu, come sit down. Let me introduce you."
Wen Shu walked over, her gaze falling on the man inside the private room.
Young and handsome, with smooth, sculpted facial features and slightly upturned phoenix eyes that, when slightly closed, seemed to carry a carefree and irreverent air.
His gaze was like an X-ray, with a deliberately playful quality as he looked Wen Shu up and down.
He was sizing up Wen Shu, and Wen Shu was sizing him up too.
Wen Shu walked over with steady steps, her expression neither arrogant nor humble. As she was being looked at, her gaze met the man's without hesitation.
She did not back down; in fact, her gaze was even more resolute than the man's.
As the man scrutinized him, he blinked very rarely. Wen Shu tried his best to control himself and not blink. He remained steadfast and patient as his gaze met the man's, almost like a confrontation.
Wen Shu was not trying to compete with him; she was simply showing him that while he was criticizing her, she was also evaluating him.
It was a two-way selection process, not a one-sided one on his part.
If she can't reach a certain understanding with the other person from the beginning, then even if she takes the baby and has further contact with him, she won't be able to achieve the effect she ultimately wants.
Wen Shu's goal is not to become someone's possession or appendage, but to have a mother and herself with completely independent personalities.
First impressions of each other are very important, so important that people will weigh what kind of person the other is.
If we were to get to know each other further, what kind of interaction and style would we use?
The first impression Wen Shu left on Long Yin was that she was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and definitely not a weak or easily bullied person.
"Mr. Long, it's a pleasure to meet you." Before taking her seat, Wen Shu extended her hand to Long Yin.
Long Lin leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on Wen Shu's outstretched hand.
Her hands were beautiful, fair and smooth, with long, slender fingers, unlike a man's hands which had distinct knuckles.
Each of her fingers was like a scallion segment, and even the shape of her nails was extremely beautiful, with curved crescent moons on them.
Ma Jun sat to one side rereading his book, and she didn't say another word after he came in.
Her gaze fell on Long Yin's face, then on Wen Shu's face, and then she slightly raised her chin, watching their reactions with interest.
Wen Shu did not retract her hand; it remained in front of Long Yin. In a negotiating manner, she determined the mode of their future relationship.
They are partners.
Long Yin remained seated, but his gaze, which had been fixed on Wen Shu's hand, slowly moved upwards and landed on Wen Shu's face.
Wen Shu met his gaze calmly.
Long Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly laughed, reached out, and grasped Wen Shu's hand.
The next second, Long Yin, who was holding Wen Shu's hand, suddenly lowered his head and kissed the back of Wen Shu's hand.
Wen Shu immediately felt goosebumps run down her back. She involuntarily shuddered and pulled her hand back a little too abruptly, revealing a hint of anger, but it wasn't rude.
At this moment, Ma Jun finally spoke up, "Long Yin, it's our first meeting, be a little reserved. My Shu Shu isn't the kind of girl you can just take advantage of."
Long Yin spoke lazily, smiling as he said, "Miss Wen is so beautiful. It's our first meeting, and I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me."
Wen Shu simply smiled and said, "Mr. Long is exceptionally handsome and has an outstanding temperament. I now believe that there really are men like Mr. Long in this world, who are more handsome than celebrities even though they are not.
Long Yin burst into laughter: "So you've found me unforgettable at first sight?"
Wen Shu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "Those who have met Mr. Long are indeed unforgettable."
Long Yin's smile widened. "So, you fell in love with me at first sight at Long Xiaosheng and Miss Ma's engagement party?"
Wen Shu: "..."
She quickly glanced at Ma Jun's face, and Ma Jun nodded almost imperceptibly, meaning to Wen Shu that Long Yin was indeed there that day.
Wen Shu felt completely bewildered. Was this person there that day? Why hadn't she noticed?
Logically speaking, if Long Yin appeared in a crowd looking like that, she should have been able to see her.
Wen Shu feigned surprise, "Was Mr. Long there that day? How could that be? I was there too, but I didn't see Mr. Long."
Long Yin laughed and said, "Could it be because you're arrogant? After all, we had the misfortune of seeing you when you went to the restroom."
Wen Shu: "!!!"
“Oh, right,” Long Yin’s gaze fell on Wen Shu’s hair, “You got your hair cut short that day, right? Although the timing of the haircut was not right, a beauty is a beauty, and she really looks good with both long and short hair.”
Wen Shu: "..."
She decided it was better not to talk anymore; if she kept talking like this, they wouldn't be able to have a pleasant conversation.
Fortunately, Ma Jun was very perceptive and always managed to smooth things over at the right moment, saying, "So you two met once before. It seems you do have some connection."
"Longyin, this banquet was hosted by me on behalf of Wen Shu, so if you're willing to take things further, you can give me a straight answer."
"I haven't hidden anything about the cause and course of events. I've told you directly about Wen Shu's purpose. In my opinion, you two are a perfect match, each getting what you need. Whether you're willing or not is up to you two."
"If you're willing, then it means that everyone's trip to this blind date wasn't in vain. If you're not willing, that's okay too. Just consider it a lucky encounter here and have a meal together."
