Chapter 673 A Very Good Husband Candidate
When Shen Anning arrived at the Western restaurant, her cell phone rang as soon as she stepped inside.
She paused, then took out her phone.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Just as she was about to answer, she saw a man sitting by the window stand up and wave at her.
Shen Anning recognized him at a glance; it was Wen Yusen.
The man was dressed in an iron-gray suit and was very tall.
During the brief moment of hesitation that Shen Anning felt, the ringing stopped.
She ignored him, put her phone back in her bag, and walked towards Wen Yusen.
As she approached, Shen Anning could see the man's appearance clearly.
It looks almost exactly like the photo.
With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he exudes a calm and reserved demeanor, a typical businessman.
Shen Anning looked at him and smiled slightly, "Mr. Wen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Something came up at my law firm and I was delayed."
"It's alright." Wen Yusen smiled slightly at Shen Anning, his voice warm and deep. "Miss Shen must be hungry after a busy morning. Please sit down and order some food."
Shen Anning nodded, "Okay."
Before she could move, Wen Yusen had already walked behind her and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her.
Shen Anning smiled slightly at him, said thank you generously, and then bent down to sit down.
Wen Yusen waited until she was seated before returning to his own seat and sitting down again.
Then he called over a waiter.
When ordering, Wen Yusen asked Shen Anning if she had any dietary restrictions.
Shen Anning shook her head and said no, just let Wen Yusen keep an eye on things.
She's not picky about food, and besides, meals are just a side thing at these blind dates, so she doesn't care what she eats.
After ordering, the food was served quickly.
Shen Anning looked at the fresh cream matcha cake placed in front of her, somewhat surprised.
She paused for a moment, then looked up at Wen Yusen.
Wen Yusen had been watching her the whole time, so when she looked up, he simply smiled and said, "You should have heard from your mother that I'm quite familiar with Nian'an, so I did some research with him beforehand. I hope you don't mind."
"I'm not really bothered by it," Shen Anning said calmly, pursing her lips. "I'm just a little surprised."
Why the accident?
"Before I came, my mother told me some personal information about Mr. Wen. Although it wasn't much, the name Wen Yusen wasn't exactly obscure in the business world. I thought Mr. Wen, a business tycoon with countless affairs, would be very busy. I never expected that he would have time to do his homework in advance for a blind date arranged by his parents."
Wen Yusen was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'm already thirty-two years old and my parents still have to help me arrange blind dates. If I don't take the initiative, I'm afraid I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
"I didn't expect Mr. Wen to be so humorous." Shen Anning smiled at him.
From the moment they met until now, Shen Anning felt that Wen Yusen's behavior had been within her acceptable range.
She felt that Wen Yusen had good emotional intelligence. Blind dates are usually awkward, but Wen Yusen was able to put aside his pride and make fun of himself, which showed that he was easy to get along with.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. To gain Fu Nian'an's approval and be strongly recommended to her younger sister, Wen Yusen must be quite adept at interpersonal relationships.
Shen Anning and Wen Yusen enjoyed the meal quite well. Although they were not from the same social circle, Wen Yusen was very good at chatting.
The conversation mostly revolved around Shen Anning's career as a lawyer. Wen Yusen, a businessman, spoke eloquently about legal matters.
Moreover, he did not simply express his own opinions, but echoed Shen Anning's topics, responding to every sentence and providing professional and insightful answers, never being perfunctory.
The two ate their meal from noon until almost two o'clock.
The atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
When they parted, Wen Yusen took the initiative to suggest that they add each other on WeChat.
Shen Anning was not opposed to contacting Wen Yusen, and she added Wen Yusen as a friend.
The two said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Shen Anning went straight back to her lawyer.
As soon as I stepped into the law firm, Fu Nian'an called.
Shen Anning walked towards her office while answering the phone.
"You've met the person, how does it feel?" Fu Nian'an asked directly on the other end of the phone.
Shen Anning pushed open the office door, went in, closed the door, and walked to her desk.
She tossed her bag onto the sofa and sat down in the executive chair in front of her desk. "She's a nice person, and she can chat."
"So, you have a good impression of him?"
Shen Anning kicked off her high heels and sighed softly, "As long as he's not a weirdo or an ugly guy, he usually leaves a good impression, right?"
"Stop being so glib!" Fu Nian'an scolded her, then added, "Would your parents and I introduce you to bad men? Shen Anning, I've noticed you've become less and less lovable these past few years. Why is it so hard to get a single honest word from you these days?"
"I didn't say anything!" Shen Anning said, both amused and exasperated. "What I meant was that Wen Yusen's personality seems alright, but we've only met once. You can't expect me to fall in love with him at first sight, can you?"
"Heh, it would be a good thing if you could fall in love with Wen Yusen at first sight."
Fu Nian'an scoffed coldly, "Shen Anning, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. But let me tell you, Shen Anning, as long as I'm alive, I will never let you have any connection with Qi Yue again!"
"Fu Nian'an, stop bringing up Qi Yue all the time." Shen Anning's head was really hurting, and she raised her hand to hold her forehead. "Brother, I just don't want to start a new relationship so hastily. Look at me and Qi Yue back then... I just don't want to repeat the same mistakes."
"You and Qi Yue were only together because you were both too young back then, and how could Qi Yue compare to Wen Yusen?"
Fu Nian'an sneered and said, "Qi Yue is far inferior to Wen Yusen, okay? He can't even control his own emotions, let alone give you a future! But Wen Yusen is different. He is 7 years older than you. A man his age has experienced everything he should have. His ability and maturity are the best qualities a husband can have!"
Shen Anning understood.
Fu Nian'an's words made perfect sense; a man like Wen Yusen was indeed the best choice to be her future partner.
In fact, through the two hours she spent with Wen Yusen today, Shen Anning could roughly imagine that if she and Wen Yusen got married in the future, Wen Yusen's maturity would save them a lot of time and effort in their marriage, and his stable emotions and high emotional intelligence would definitely make him a good life partner.
Shen Anning knew better than anyone else that choosing Wen Yusen had a very low chance of making a mistake.
However, a voice within Shen Anning's heart was still struggling...
"Xiao Ning, your relationship with Qi Yue is in the past. It's been five years. You've waited for him for five years, which is more than enough for him. Besides, he's been living a glamorous life during these five years of forgetting you, while what about you?"
Shen Anning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously said, "I've had a good five years too."
"Keep that kind of nonsense to yourself!"
Shen Anning, "..."
"Xiao Ning, think about it yourself, how many five-year periods does a person have? You have to think about yourself!"
“Brother, I’m considering it.” Shen Anning’s voice was very soft. “I added Wen Yusen as a WeChat friend today, but we’ve only met once. Let’s see how things go in the future.”
"Alright, I'm relieved that you're willing to try contacting him." Fu Nian reassured him for a moment, then added, "But remember, you're not allowed to have any further contact with Qi Yue!"
"I know." Shen Anning felt even more tired as she recalled the three inexplicable encounters in the past few days. "Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll get back to work."
"Okay, don't work too hard. Go home more often when you have time, and don't always stay at the law firm!"
"Okay, okay! You should hurry up and find a girlfriend too, stop nagging me to find a husband all the time!"
Fu Nian'an scoffed coldly, "Mind your own business!"
I always use that same excuse to brush her off.
Shen Anning was too lazy to argue with him.
...
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anning put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and rubbed her temples with her fingertips.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
Xiaoxue pushed open the door. "Sister Anning, there's a Mr. Qi outside who wants to see you."
Shen Anning paused, her fingers rubbing her temples, and slowly opened her eyes.
