Ji Yao: ...
Lin Qiong was drinking plum soda when— *thud*
"Ahem, what are you doing?"
Lin Qiong rubbed her back, which had been slapped so hard.
Ji Yao glanced at him and said, "This is the price you pay for betraying your freedom and running into a man's arms."
Lin Qiong: "..."
The two stood by the roadside. Lin Qiong glanced at the time; three hours had passed since they left, and it was time to go back.
But just then, Ji Yao's phone rang. It was a call from his third blind date, who was late.
Since the family had chosen Ji Yao, she couldn't refuse, fearing that the other party would complain to her mother.
In the end, she was the one who suffered.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yao sighed.
Lin Qiong, with a mouthful of plum soda, glanced at her, swallowed the soda, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yao looked up at a 45-degree angle and gazed at the sky. "The third one is on his way. He said he'll be here soon."
Lin Qiong nodded her fluffy head and said "Oh, do you still want to continue?"
Ji Yao shook his head.
"I don't think I'm here for a blind date today."
Lin Qiong: ?
Ji Yao, with a deep and strange expression, said, "I've come to undergo tribulation."
Seeing her only friend secretly heartbroken over the blind date, the cuckoo flapped its wings twice, unsure how to comfort her.
Lin Qiong looked at Ji Yao, who was looking utterly hopeless and in a state of utter despair, and said, "How about..."
Ji Yao turned to look at him.
Lin Qiong swallowed hard and tentatively said, "I'll refuse for you."
"Sister!" Ji Yao stepped forward and opened her arms. Lin Qiong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she gently gave her an encouraging hug.
Just as Lin Qiong was gently patting the person's back, intending to comfort them...
Ji Yao: "I've been waiting for you to say that."
Lin Qiong: ...
The two returned to the coffee shop by the same route, but this time Lin Qiong was the one sitting in the matchmaking section.
Shortly after the two arrived, their third blind date also came.
Lin Qiong observed that this person seemed relatively normal compared to the previous two.
This made him start to think that there are normal people in this world too.
After the man entered, he looked around but didn't notice the hesitation that began to appear on Ji Yao's face.
Lin Qiong stood up and waved at him, "Here."
The other person glanced at Lin Qiong, then pointed to himself as if asking a question.
Lin Qiong nodded.
The other person walked over, glanced at Lin Qiong, and then tentatively asked, "Miss Ji, did you go to Thailand?"
Ji Yao, sitting in the back: ...
"..." Lin Qiong said, "No, Miss Ji is still on the motherland. I am her friend."
The other party seemed puzzled. "Where is Miss Ji? I'm here for a blind date with her."
Lin Qiong said calmly, "Miss Ji had something to do today and couldn't come, so I came in her place."
The other person frowned. "Is there something urgent?"
Lin Qiong: "Everyone has three urgent needs."
"..."
The other person looked at him and asked, "May I ask your name?"
"Lin Qiong".
"You're Lin Qiong!" The other person stared at the person in front of them in shock. "How come you look so respectable!"
Lin Qiong: ...
Are you polite?
Wang Chuxiu looked at the person in front of him and said, "You were the one who caused Sun Jie to end up like that."
Lin Qiong looked puzzled. "What?"
Crown Prince Xiu: "He doesn't even look like a human being."
"..."
They all know each other to some extent in the business world, and since they are of similar age and share similar tastes, it's common for several rich kids to get together for eating, drinking, and having fun.
Sun Jie also told them about Lin Qiong, saying that she had many nightmares.
I had never heard of Lin Qiong in the industry before, but she has become somewhat well-known after marrying Fu Xingyun.
He had initially thought Lin Qiong was just an ugly person causing trouble, but he was surprised to find that she actually looked quite nice.
Actually, after hearing Sun Jie talk about this person, he was a little scared when he saw Lin Qiong. After all, Sun Jie could be said to be the leader of their group of rich second-generation kids who were just wasting their lives. If he could beat the other party like that, this seemingly harmless young man in front of him must be no ordinary person.
Could it be... that he's pretending to be weak while actually being strong?
Wang Chuxiu swallowed hard before getting back to the point, "Are you here today on behalf of Miss Ji to learn about me?"
Lin Qiong glanced at the time. "I brought her here to reject you."
Lin Qiong observed the other person's micro-expressions with his eyes, and for some reason, he seemed to see a trace of...fear on the other person's face?
Wang Chuxiu coughed somewhat awkwardly, "I'm here today for a blind date with Miss Ji. We haven't met yet, and she doesn't know me well either. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to reject me right away."
"Furthermore," Wang Chuxiu glanced at Lin Qiong, then pulled out his trump card and continued, "I was invited by Miss Ji's mother. I'm sure your mother is very satisfied with me, otherwise she wouldn't have included me in the list of potential sons-in-law."
Lin Qiong saw through the other person's thoughts almost immediately, and looking at the bright red stain on the other person's collar, she said, "You came with the intention of getting married, didn't you?"
Crown Prince Xiu was somewhat surprised, "How did you know?"
Lin Qiong had seen plenty of these rich second-generation heirs in her past life, and she could see right through what they were thinking at a glance.
"Your family is also pressuring you to get married."
Crown Prince Xiu frowned.
Lin Qiong shrugged. "But you don't want to give up your current life of debauchery, so you're thinking of finding a suitable match through a blind date to marry into your family and appease them, and then you can continue having fun outside."
The fact that the other party had predicted it so accurately almost made the Crown Prince's scalp tingle.
Lin Qiong glanced at him and said, "But you've been such a mess out there, you're so dirty, what good family would want you? I think Miss Ji's mother was just fooled by your sweet talk."
Wang Chuxiu stood up, momentarily speechless, "You..."
Next, Lin Qiong gave Wang Chuxiu a ten-minute lesson on male virtues.
These days, who isn't a graduate of male virtue?
Crown Prince Wang Xiu sat with his head down, overwhelmed by fear, and finally understood Sun Jie's suffering.
"You'll get your comeuppance for attacking people like that!"
Lin Qiong didn't care at all.
Seeing that he couldn't provoke the other party, Wang Chuxiu stood up and said unwillingly, "I...I will definitely pursue Miss Ji and make you regret what you said to me today and apologize!"
Lin Qiong also stood up, looking down at the other person from a height advantage, and was not angry at all about the other person's slander.
He then chuckled softly.
Crown Prince Xiu: ?
Lin Qiong smiled and said, "Don't try to pick up my friends. How many good people can you find among the ones I hang out with?"
Crown Prince Xiu: ...
Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Just as she was about to run out of the coffee shop, Lin Qiong called out to the other person.
"Wait! Could you please pass on a message to Sun Jie for me?"
Lin Qiong actually felt quite guilty about hurting the other party's fragile heart last time. Wang Chuxiu stopped and turned to look at him.
Lin Qiong racked her brains to come up with a comforting remark, "If he's not small, he's actually quite big."
Crown Prince Xiu: "...Are you a devil?"
Lin Qiong: ...
Watching the other person run until they were even a little unsteady, Lin Qiong sighed silently.
Ji Yao, who witnessed everything: ...
Lin Qiong looked at the other person and said, "Alright, I should go back now, otherwise Xingyun won't have any food to eat."
Ji Yao exclaimed in surprise, "You can cook now!"
Then he began to look the person up and down, saying, "You don't seem like someone who can cook."
Lin Qiong never forgot her persona, and said shyly, "I am willing to give everything for Xingyun."
Ji Yao clapped his hands.
What a touching love story!
Lin Qiong said goodbye to the people and left the coffee shop.
Lin Qiong glanced at the time; it was almost six o'clock. She took out her gold card from her pocket and looked at it. It was the card Fu Xingyun had given her not long ago for her daily expenses.
At least this scoundrel has a conscience.
Lin Qiong took out her phone and made a call. The phone rang for a while before the other end answered.
A cold, indifferent voice came from the other end of the line, "What is it?"
Lin Qiong said, "Wait a little longer, I'll be back as soon as I get busy."
Fu Xingyun: "I'm not waiting for you."
"...Oh," Lin Qiong said casually, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Fu Xingyun: "Whatever."
The next moment, Fu Xingyun heard the young man's clear voice say, "Then let's eat stir-fried green vegetables."
Fu Xingyun: "..."
Lin Qiong hung up the phone after the other party gave her the names of the dishes.
Lin Qiong first went to a large supermarket to buy the groceries she needed for the evening, but while waiting for her bus, she noticed a milk tea shop across the street.
I glanced at an empty taxi not far away, and then at the milk tea shop across the street.
...
"Two bubble teas with ice, please!"
The shop assistant, seeing the handsome young man in front of him, quickly agreed.
Hey, look at that handsome guy over there! He's so good-looking!
The girl, after being patted on the shoulder by her companion, grinned and said, "Everyone says he's handsome, how could he not be?"
My companion's eyes lit up with excitement. "Let's go up and ask for their WeChat."
"Is it feasible? What if he already has a girlfriend?"
"Can't you break up with your girlfriend later? Keep her for now."
The girl was still a little hesitant, "What if I get rejected?"
"It's okay, I have a plan." His companion patted the other's shoulder. "Watch me."
He then walked over to Lin Qiong and said to the clerk, "Please give me a taro boba milk tea."
Then he started rummaging in his pockets, "Oh no, I forgot my phone."
While waiting for her milk tea, Lin Qiong glanced at the man and, seeing him looking at her, quickly said, "Handsome, I forgot my phone. Could you pay for it for me first? My friend is holding my phone for me. I'll go get it now and send it to you on WeChat in a bit. Don't worry, I'm a regular customer of this shop and I'm sure they won't cheat you."
Lin Qiong didn't think much of it and nodded, "Okay."
He then took out his phone and scanned the store's QR code.
The man pretended to go out of the store to look for someone.
"Alright, we're halfway there. We'll have the WeChat account soon. Wait for my good news."
Then she turned around and walked briskly back into the milk tea shop.
"Handsome, I'm back. How much is it?"
Lin Qiong glanced at the amount of money on her phone and said, "Twelve yuan."
"Okay," the other person quickly took out their phone. "So, handsome, will you scan my QR code, or will I scan yours?"
Lin Qiong swiped the screen. "Scan me."
As he spoke, he stretched out the hand holding the phone.
I received the payment by scanning the QR code on the screen.
