Tang Su’s idea made Bai Dingxian see the light. He had intended to ask Tang Su to call Sun Qing and tell her that it was impossible for him to go on a blind date with Sun Qing.
However, Tang Su was right, if not with Sun Qing, there would be someone else.
Since he couldn’t escape the marriage pressure, rather than being forced to accept a fate of arranged dating, why not find an ally who would never generate any attraction?
Mutual exploitation.
Even if that woman Sun Qing confessed her love to him, he wouldn’t believe her.
Retreating ten thousand steps, if Sun Qing really fell for him, he would dump her immediately. That way, he could also avenge his poor distant cousin.
Anyway, he was absolutely not going to have feelings for that woman.
Given that, why not go for it?
"Um, Tang Su, that’s a really good idea. Let’s happily decide on that."
"Okay."
Tang Su pursed her lips and laughed softly.
It was getting late, and Bai Dingxian really had a thick skin. He came over today just to stay the night. Once his worries were gone, Bai Dingxian very considerately vacated the living room, giving them privacy to enjoy their own little world.
Bai Dingxian went back to his room to sleep.
Workers who have to go to work can’t afford injury.
With the eldest brother at home, Tang Su didn’t stay at Lu Han’s place for too long. Lu Han gave her a couple of kisses and hugs but not even a kiss was forceful. If he exerted any slight pressure, Tang Su would push him away, saying she was afraid Tang Feng hadn’t slept yet and if he noticed, it would be embarrassing.
"What’s the plan for tomorrow?"
"My uncle wants me to visit the film set, and he asked me to bring my godmother along. He said he’ll take us out to lunch."
"Oh, then you have to accompany your uncle so you can’t be with me."
"Do you still need company?" Tang Su asked with a smile.
"I do." Lu Han nodded earnestly, "I need my girlfriend’s company."
"Let’s keep it low-profile for now. Jiang Shanshan just had that incident. If I show up at your hospital as Doctor Lu’s girlfriend, those gossip-lovers at your hospital would have no idea how to spit their ridicule at both of us."
"..."
Lu Han frowned, would his girlfriend visiting him at the hospital be considered high-profile?
Why would it be anyone’s business if his girlfriend came to find him at his hospital?
Lu Han didn’t understand Tang Su’s train of thought at the moment, but as an obedient boyfriend, he naturally wouldn’t do anything to annoy his girlfriend.
Since Tang Su said so, he would just go along with it.
He only hoped that Tang Su’s grandmother would recover well and be discharged soon so that his parents could come to Hua City for the betrothal and go through the process. Once the betrothal gifts were given, he would be justified in cajoling Tang Su to go to the civil affairs office to get the marriage certificate.
Though, even if he asked Tang Su to get the certificate with him now, she wouldn’t object.
The Tang Family wouldn’t have any complaints either, but he felt uneasy in his heart, feeling he would be shortchanging Tang Su.
He wanted to marry Tang Su with honor and ceremony.
Tang Su took the empty fruit tray and returned to the room across. Sure enough, Tang Feng hadn’t entered his room while she was away, but sat in the living room waiting for her.
Glancing now and then at the wall clock.
Hmm, just after ten, not quite eleven yet, not too late.
"Back?"
"Yeah, big brother, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"
"How could I sleep if you weren’t back yet?"
Although the godmother said that they were both adults and even if they did something it would be expected, in Tang Feng’s heart, his sister being a bit more self-respecting would make Lu Han cherish her more.
And as for Lu Han, if he really loved his sister, how could he not wait until marriage?
Those men who claim to love you, who can’t help but touch you, smart women should steer clear of them.
Such men’s love is only for a woman’s body, and some have never even thought of taking responsibility.
Those who end up taking responsibility and marrying the woman can at least be said to have a conscience.
"I’m back now, it’s getting late, go to bed early."
"Mm."
"By the way, I’ll be going home with you tomorrow. My uncle asked me to visit the drama set with auntie tomorrow. Do you want to join us? The main shooting locations will be my two stores."
"Really? That sounds good, let’s go together."
"Mm, goodnight, big brother."
"Goodnight."
Tang Su tossed and turned before finally lying down in her room, and only after settling down did she realize that at some point she had silenced her phone. Sun Qing had called twice without an answer, and there were also several unread WeChat messages.
Tang Su didn’t check the content of the messages on WeChat, instead, she called back Sun Qing first.
Sun Qing, who hadn’t fallen asleep, picked up instantly.
"So, our Tangtang, has your sweet time with Doctor Lu come to an end, back in your own little nest?" Sun Qing teased with a laugh.
"Yeah," Tang Su admitted openly. Lu Han’s kisses were tender, entangling and poignant; he was a great kisser. Tang Su felt a tingling longing and a lingering fondness, not knowing when she would be able to calmly and unrestrainedly accept Lu Han’s kisses.
However, Tang Su did not indulge for too long. Two seconds later, she added, "Doctor Bai is staying over at Lu Han’s place tonight.
"Oh? Why? Doesn’t he always stay in the dorms at their hospital?"
"Yeah, well, someone annoyed him, so he wanted to have a chat with our Lu Han."
"Who? Tang Bao, when you say ’someone,’ it’s not me, is it?" Sun Qing’s heart was in her throat.
After dinner today, she received a phone call from Old Master Sun at her house, telling her he had managed to set her up, arranging a meeting with Bai Dingxian at a coffee shop under the guise of a blind date this weekend.
Sun Qing was thrilled at the time.
Set up? Arranged?
Does this mean that Bai Dingxian knows this weekend’s meeting is a blind date with her?
Not just a gathering of acquaintances?
If he is willing to come, does it mean he is open to the idea of a blind date with her?
Sun Qing used to be quite vain, but Bai Dingxian was different from the other guys she had chased in the past; back then, they were all young and reckless.
Feeling a bit excited, Sun Qing hadn’t fully thought it through before she began to take practical steps, and she was able to easily win the other party over.
Now it’s different; everyone’s gotten older, in their twenties. Soon they’d be approaching thirty, all mature adults who naturally couldn’t make jokes like they did when they were younger.
"Mm, is this self-awareness or confidence?" Tang Su deliberately teased her.
Not offended by the jest, Sun Qing retorted proudly, "Both. What did he say to you and Doctor Lu?"
"What could he say? At first, he wasn’t too keen, but after I gave him an idea, he thought it was quite good. It looks like he’s willing to go through with the plan this weekend."
Tang Su didn’t deceive Sun Qing; besides, what Bai Dingxian thought of her, Sun Qing was well aware.
If she said Bai Dingxian was very happy, would Sun Qing, not being a fool, believe it?
"Wow, Tang Bao, you really are my sweet Tang Bao. Tell me, what suggestion did you give? So I can coordinate with you."
"..."
Tang Su could imagine Sun Qing on the other end, probably rubbing her hands together in secret anticipation, looking especially excited.
If she had to draw a caricature of her, it would be of a sassy young girl with hearts for eyes, drooling over a handsome guy.
Mmm, when she has some free time, she should draw one for Sun Qing to see for herself.
Hehe...
