"Then how can you be so sure that if I see you as my blind date, I will turn around and leave..." Lin Yang said, her head down, a wad of tissues twisted haphazardly in her hand.
Lin Yang spoke very softly, so softly that only she herself could barely hear what she was saying.
"Lin Yang, I apologize for Brother Jiang's recklessness." Xu Chengzhi apologized to Lin Yang again in a sincere tone.
"No, it's such a trivial matter. Apologizing to me all the time makes me seem petty." Lin Yang took off her mask and took a sip of water from her glass.
Since Lin Yang had already said that, Xu Chengzhi didn't bring it up again, and the matter was quietly dropped.
The medium-rare steak was served, and just as the waiter was about to hand it to Lin Yang, Xu Chengzhi stopped him.
Under Lin Yang's puzzled gaze, Xu Chengzhi buried his head and silently and carefully cut the steak into small pieces.
After cutting all the steaks, he put down his knife and fork and gently pushed the steaks towards Lin Yang.
"It's not like I don't have hands," Lin Yang said softly, but her hands honestly used a fork to put the tender steak into her mouth.
The meat smelled delicious, much better than the bloody taste that Jiang Fan had made her eat when he teased her earlier.
After enjoying the delicious food, Lin Yang's mood improved considerably.
Xu Chengzhi noticed this and pressed on, "So, when are we going to start making wedding preparations?"
"Cough cough cough!" Lin Yang almost choked to death on the beef after hearing that.
exm?
She hasn't answered Xu Chengzhi's question about whether she likes him or not, has she?
Why skip everything and go straight to the wedding?
Who said she agreed to get married?!
"Eat slowly, don't rush." Xu Chengzhi sat up halfway, stretched out his long hand, and gently patted Lin Yang's back.
Who...who ate in a hurry?
Brother, don't you have any self-awareness?
After finally managing to swallow the piece of meat stuck in her throat, Lin Yang swallowed a few more mouthfuls of water. "Who said we were getting married?!"
"Elders," Xu Chengzhi said, sitting back down with his arms crossed, "we're here today for a blind date, just to go through the motions. The whole city already knows about the Lin and Xu families' marriage alliance."
Damn! How did the plot end up going in circles again?
She worked so hard to complete the task, but how come she still couldn't escape the fate of walking down the aisle with that scumbag?
"Why didn't my family discuss this with me?" Lin Yang lost her appetite for steak and poked at the small pieces of beef with her fork.
A perfectly good plate of beef was ruined by someone venting their anger.
Xu Chengzhi said seriously, "It's an arranged marriage, decided by parents and matchmaker. Why should we discuss it?"
"..." Lin Yang was speechless. "Xu Chengzhi, you're not the kind of person who likes arranged marriages, are you?"
“If it were you, I wouldn’t mind an arranged marriage.” Xu Chengzhi’s eyes regained their burning love, his gaze fixed on Lin Yang.
But I fucking mind!!
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xu Chengzhi, Lin Yang had no choice but to give up, her attitude remaining firm: "Xu Chengzhi, remember this! I will never marry you!"
Unless she doesn't want to save her own life, she wouldn't be tempted by the current beauty. Having finally completed half of her mission, how could she possibly be so foolish as to get married?
Xu Chengzhi smiled and continued cutting his steak. This time, he wasn't worried at all about Lin Yang's rejection. Instead, he seemed determined to win her over.
"Did you hear that, Xu Chengzhi! There's no way there will ever be a relationship between us!" Lin Yang felt like she was going crazy. She had been unable to bear Xu Chengzhi's hurt eyes earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have sat there for so long, only to hear him say something that made her furious.
