Chapter 43: Several Matchmakings a Day
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Ying originally wanted her older brother, Chen Song, to accompany her, but Chen Song’s attitude had been a bit off since he heard about her blind date yesterday. Although he still treated her gently, his smile seemed forced. Thinking that he might be under a lot of work pressure recently, she decided not to bother her brother.
Shen Qingyue: [Why do you suddenly want to go on a blind date? Didn’t your parents agree to let you freely pursue love?]
Chen Ying: [They did agree! Maybe they’re going through menopause again recently and want me to get married quickly.]
Shen Qingyue:
Regarding Chen’s family matters, Shen Qingyue could not say much. Chen Song was the adopted child of the Chen family and had consciously chosen not to be involved in the family business. Chen’s parents still wanted to find a reliable person for Chen Ying to manage the family enterprise. So, in Shen Qingyue’s opinion, Chen Ying’s desire for a carefree life would not last long, and the Chen parents would not agree to it.
After Chen Ying sent the time and location, she added a sentence: [Remember to bring Chi Ming! I want to make the blind date partner feel anxious about their appearance and crush their psychological defense! As a person who aims to conquer the world, how can I be tied down to one tree?]
Shen Qingyue:
In any case, Shen Qingyue still cooperated with her best friend’s actions and specially dressed up Chi Ming, attracting 100 percent of the attention along the way.
Although he was accompanying someone else on a blind date, Chi Ming’s mood was still quite good as he had never experienced Shen Qingyue asking him to do these things before.
But when Chi Ming saw Fu Daoyu in the restaurant, both of them were dumbfounded.
Neither of the two women noticed the strange atmosphere between the two men.
However, Chen Ying carefully tugged at Shen Qingyue’s sleeve and leaned in close to her ear. “I didn’t expect this man to be quite good-looking.”
Shen Qingyue ruthlessly struck her down. “Most scumbags are good-looking, just like Qin Zhen.”
Chen Ying said, “… His car is expensive too.”
Shen Qingyue replied, “Your brother’s car is more expensive than his! And who knows if this guy bought it himself or if it was bought by his family.”
Chen Ying muttered, “… He’s quite polite, very gentlemanly.” Shen Qingyue said, “Saying ‘hello’ is considered polite and gentlemanly?”
Chen Ying pouted. “Why are you always picking on his flaws?”
Shen Qingyue said, “Huh, didn’t you say you didn’t want to go on a blind date? Now that you see a handsome guy, your attitude changes?”
Chen Ying said, “Darling, did you forget about my goals? Conquering the world, isn’t this just a speck of dust in the universe?”
Shen Qingyue frowned. “… I fell for your tricks! Anyway, you handle it yourself. This is a blind date arranged by your parents. It’s not something you can bring into your harem.”
Chen Ying fell silent. Indeed, even though her parents did not mention the person’s background, it was probably not an ordinary family! She absolutely could not get herself into trouble just because of momentary attraction.
Shen Qingyue smiled. “Mr. Fu, I apologize. Chen Ying just finished another blind date, so we arrived late.”
Fu Daoyu, who had just recovered from the eye contact with Chi Ming, heard the impactful words and smirked. “Miss Chen has other blind dates too?”
Chen Ying nodded sadly. “Yes, five blind dates in one day, morning, noon, and evening, and I have to do two more in the evening. It’s more exhausting than my work. ”
For a moment, Fu Daoyu did not know how to respond. He dryly said, “You’re quite busy.”
However, he also realized that their interests aligned—they both did not want to go on blind dates! He coughed and cleared his throat. “Miss Chen, let’s be honest. It seems like you don’t want to go on blind dates either. How about we pretend to cooperate and fool both sets of parents? Let’s pause this blind date thing, shall we?”
Chen Ying was moved and immediately grabbed his hand. “You’re such a good person!”
She even prepared to touch him a bit more. He was really touchable…
Fu Daoyu was speechless.
Finally, this somewhat absurd blind date came to an end.
Chen Ying, along with a few others, returned home. She wanted to prove that today’s blind date was a success—she and Fu Daoyu had clicked! There was no need to continue with blind dates.
As they entered the house, Chen Song happened to come downstairs. He had a smile on his face, as elegant as always, but his eyelashes trembled slightly when he saw Chen Ying and Fu Daoyu walking in hand in hand. He put on a smile again. “Yingying, how was the blind date?”
Chen Ying, with a look of dependence, leaned her head on Fu Daoyu’s shoulder. “He’s simply my prince charming! He makes me feel like all the people I met before were just to lead me to him! I fell in love with him at first sight..”
