Licking Dog 16
Chapter 16
Yu's father really adheres to traditional customs thoroughly. From clothes to handbags, Yu Rubing chose bright red, which belongs to the fire element. Even the car she rides when going out is a red Porsche borrowed by Yu's father.
Yu Rubing finally managed to escape Yu's father's surveillance. As soon as she arrived at the agreed location, the driver, who had dropped someone off, didn't rush back. Instead, he hurried over to stop her and responsibly relayed Yu's father's words, "Miss Yu, you can't go in yet. Mr. Yu has already ordered that you can only enter after 3:30."
"Boss Yu said that at this time, your aura is at its strongest, and you can get things done without any setbacks."
Yu Rubing rolled her eyes and when it was past 3:30, she picked up her phone and showed it to the driver.
Seeing that the mission was completed, the driver nodded slightly to Yu Rubing and left.
Yu Rubing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she entered the tea room, a waitress approached, seemingly specifically looking out for her, and politely asked, "Excuse me, are you Miss Yu?"
Yu Rubing was stunned and pointed at herself, "Do you know me?"
The waiter nodded and immediately explained, "Mr. Xing told me to greet Miss Yu at the door. He said she would be recognized the moment she saw her."
Yu Rubing raised an eyebrow and asked the waiter, "Did he teach you to say that?"
The waiter realized that he had said something wrong and immediately covered his mouth, "I'm sorry! Miss Yu!"
Yu Rubing said magnanimously that it was nothing, she just felt that this blind date whom she hadn't met yet was a little - greasy!
Forget it! Yu Rubing thought, it’s just to deal with the parents, I can just take a 20-minute ride home.
The waiter led Yu Rubing into the tea room. There were many green plants in the room, which were numerous but unique. Not long after, Yu Rubing met Mr. Xing.
The Xing family was well-off, and Yu's father and Xing's father were friends. Xing Ke was the only son of the Xing family, and Yu's father told her that they had met on several occasions.
Yu Rubing had no recollection of what had just happened. After what had just happened, Yu Rubing only thought that the other party was a greasy man. Unexpectedly, after seeing the real person, her impression changed greatly.
Xing Ke is very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with a gentle appearance and a good figure. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks very polite.
"Hello, Miss Yu, my name is Xing Ke." Xing Ke extended her hand politely.
Yu Rubing shook hands with him and said, "Yu Rubing, I've heard a lot about you!"
Xing Ke said: "I have met Miss Yu and I was deeply impressed by her."
Yu Rubing had no impression of him, and it was difficult to directly say, "I've never seen you before," so she just politely replied, "Mr. Xing, you're impressed by a lot of people, right? After all, there are a lot of beautiful people in your eyes."
Xing Ke could tell that Yu Rubing was teasing him, but his expression remained unchanged. He just smiled and explained to Yu Rubing, "I wanted to play a joke on Miss Yu. Miss Yu shouldn't be angry, right?"
Yu Rubing shook her head. Who would be angry if someone praised her for being beautiful?
Xing Ke was as polite and gentlemanly as he looked, well-mannered and good at chatting. Yu Rubing had planned to leave in twenty minutes, but they chatted until they had been chatting for almost an hour.
Yu Rubing checked her phone. Before she could find an excuse, Xing Ke took the initiative to ask, "Miss Yu, is there something urgent?"
Yu Rubing nodded and made up an excuse. Xing Ke was not unhappy at all, but just said that he should take care of the urgent matters first.
Yu Rubing said a few polite words and was about to get up and leave, but Xing Ke asked with a hint of lingering interest, "Can we meet again next time, Miss Yu?"
It seems Xing Ke has a good impression of Yu Rubing. Yu Rubing only said, "If you have time."
Xing Ke seemed not to understand what he was saying and insisted on asking for the exact time.
Yu Rubing smiled and said politely and tactfully, "Mr. Xing is so elegant. Even if I don't have the chance to meet you, it's only my loss."
The meaning of rejection was very clear. If Xing Ke didn't understand, he would just pretend to be confused.
Xing Ke understood what he said, but she didn't seem to wave goodbye. Instead, she sat back down, ready to have a long conversation with Yu Rubing. "I understand Miss Yu's difficulties. Perhaps you're reluctant to come on this blind date because of pressure from your parents, right?"
Xing Ke made it clear what he meant. Yu Rubing became interested and seemed to have guessed what Xing Ke was saying. "Could it be that Mr. Xing is also..."
Yu Rubing didn't say it explicitly, but Xing Ke understood. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said frankly, "Before Miss Yu, I had already turned down six blind dates. Miss Yu, please don't mind this one. I came here because I really couldn't turn it down."
So, they are all “miserable people.”
Yu Rubing suddenly felt like continuing the conversation.
Xing Ke was such a smart person that he quickly gave Yu Rubing a way out. "If Miss Yu's matter isn't too urgent, I can discuss it with her. I do have some experience in dealing with forced marriages."
"Also," Xing Ke paused before saying, "I want to make a deal with Miss Yu."
Although Xing Ke didn't explicitly say what the deal was, Yu Rubing knew that Xing Ke was such a smart person that he would definitely bring up a topic that interested her.
Yu Rubing took advantage of the situation and simply sat back, saying bluntly, "No matter how urgent something is, it's not as urgent as forcing a marriage!"
Xing Ke smiled and continued, "Ms. Yu, you should know that once forced marriage begins, it will only intensify. It won't stop unless you find a suitable marriage partner."
Yu Rubing agreed deeply. Seeing her father's attitude, he would not give up until he found someone. "So Mr. Xing means that I have to be obedient and go on blind dates, and then get married naturally?"
Xing Ke laughed and shook his head. "Whether to get married or not is up to Miss Yu. No matter how anxious her uncle and aunt are, the decision still lies with her. But if Miss Yu always goes against her parents' wishes, she will be in great trouble."
"That's exactly what happened to me. Honestly, my parents are constantly pressuring me to get married, introducing all sorts of girlfriends to me, which is making me miserable. So I'm looking for someone who's willing to marry me. Of course, I don't really want to get married, but I want to avoid being forced into marriage for the time being."
"Miss Yu, do you understand?"
Yu Rubing understood. They were just pretending to be in love and working together to deceive the parents. Yu Rubing suddenly understood and thought this was a good idea. "So, Mr. Xing, you want me to be your partner?"
Xing Ke nodded, with sincerity in her eyes. "Ms. Yu is very outstanding. If I have the honor to work with Miss Yu, I believe my parents will be very satisfied. I just don't know what Miss Yu thinks?"
Yu Rubing also nodded and extended a friendly hand, "Mr. Xing is also very good, we have a pleasant cooperation!"
Xing Ke was overjoyed and quickly extended a hand of friendship. "It's a great honor. It's a pleasure to work with you."
Xing Ke is a very elegant and interesting person. After the two of them discussed cooperation in the tea art room, Xing Ke took Yu Rubing to a restaurant. The stir-fried dishes in the restaurant were particularly delicious. Yu Rubing was very happy all day and was still smiling when she returned home.
When Yu's father learned that Yu Rubing's blind date was successful, he couldn't stop smiling. His daughter had finally broken free from the shackles, and he felt relieved.
Yu Rubing also breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally solved a troublesome matter. She and Xing Ke had already made an appointment. There would be a charity dinner next time, and both sets of parents would be there. When they met the parents, the deal would be finalized.
