The call was finally over and Ling Yiran said, "What did your mother say to you? You look so miserable that you even mentioned kneeling on a keyboard.""What else can it be? Blind dates," Qin Lianyi said as she rolled her eyes. "My mother said that this man is a good catch. She managed to grab him from the other aunts so that I can have a go first."Qin Lianyi was speechless with her mother's thinking, Her mother seemed to think that if she could not get married in these two years, she might never get married."Then go and meet him. Think of it as an opportunity," said Ling Yiran after thinking about it for a moment."No, I'm frustrated enough. I might go crazy if I go on another blind date." Qin Lianyi wanted to vomit blood every time she thought of how her mother pestered her to go on blind dates."Why? Is there something else?" asked Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi looked at her best friend before saying, "Will it surprise you if I tell you I'm dating Bai Tingxin?"Ling Yiran almost
After all... Lianyi had not experienced too much of the dark side, unlike her who had seen so much darkness in the prison that she sometimes did not even have the strength to cry."Poof!" Qin Lianyi spat out the pudding which she had not yet swallowed and quickly took a tissue to wipe it. Then, she said to Ling Yiran, "At least joke when I'm not eating, Yiran. You're taking the joke too far.""I mean it," said Ling Yiran.They stared at each other for a long time before Qin Lianyi laughed and said, "We're not meant for each other even if he's really still in love with me. What kind of family do you think the Bai family is? If I get together with him, then the rest of my life will be one big internal fight in a wealthy family. With my skills, I reckon I'll be beaten to bits in a minute."Uh, just forget about it. Once she paid off her ‘debt’ to Bai Tingxin, she would be free."Let's not talk about it. By the way, you said you got a new job. How is it? Everything all right?" said Qi
All right! All confirmed.Qin Lianyi stepped forward and said, "Are you Mr. Zhang, Zhang Guangtian? Hello, I'm Qin Lianyi.""Hello," he replied as he looked her over."Well... I wanted to tell you that I..." Qin Lianyi wanted to apologize to him. After all, she went on the blind date today without really meaning it. She just wanted to deal with her mother. She could treat him to dinner later and just become friends with him.Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her. "Why don't we take a walk? I saw a small park next to the supermarket. Why don't we go there?"Huh? The park?Qin Lianyi glanced at the already darkened sky and looked at the time. It was already past five o 'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner. "Don't you want to eat first?"Her remark was a well-meaning reminder. This was a crowded place after all. By dinner time, people would have to queue for a lot of restaurants around here. If they went for dinner after taking a walk in the
"Who is he, Miss Qin?" asked Zhang Guangtian."Yes, tell him. Who am I?" Bai Tingxin said as he looked at Qin Lianyi.All of a sudden, both men were looking at her. Qin Lianyi felt as if she was about to be badly pricked by the two men's gazes.One was the blind date her mother snatched while the other one was her newly appointed boyfriend who came to collect her debt. She could not afford to offend either of them!However, after comparing the two, she would choose the one with lesser damage. Compared to her mother who was behind the man, Qin Lianyi still felt that Bai Tingxin could not be offended, so she smiled rather lamely and said to Zhang Guangtian, "I almost forgot, Mr. Zhang. This is my boyfriend. Uh, his last name is Bai."With that, Zhang Guangtian's face immediately took on a ghastly expression. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?""Yes... Yes, I do..." Qin Lianyi answered him guiltily. No matter how strange Zhang Guangtian was before, in this case, she was at fault.Zh
Qin Lianyi was almost choked by his words. Cheating? What the hell! She had not cheated!However, in the presence of Bai Tingxin, she thought for a while and explained, "Well... My mother forced me to go on a blind date. She would disown me if I didn’t. I tried to tell him that I have a boyfriend, but he interrupted me."She was not lying."Your mother forced you to go on the blind date?" he asked as he raised his eyebrows."Yes, yes!" She smiled lamely. In short, her mother was extremely aggressive in forcing her to go on blind dates. She was the type who would be tortured to bits."You didn't tell your family that you have a boyfriend?" he asked with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.Qin Lianyi was suddenly guilty. Tell her mom and dad? How was she supposed to tell them? Bai Tingxin's identity alone would probably frighten her mom and dad, especially when… she and Bai Tingxin were inconclusive. They were just going through the motions."We started dating so suddenly, and it would
She looked just like a greedy piglet.Bai Tingxin was not sure which restaurant was good in the area, but this did not stop Qin Lianyi from taking him to a restaurant she liked."This restaurant serves some special dishes, some of which you can't find in other restaurants, only here." Once they were in the restaurant, Qin Lianyi took the menu and began to order enthusiastically.She started to introduce the dishes as she ordered. When she was halfway through, she found Bai Tingxin staring at her gloomily."Uh. Sorry, I'm talking too much," she said."It's all right. You can continue, I'll just listen," Bai Tingxin said lightly.Qin Lianyi touched her nose but did not know what to say all of a sudden. "Well... Why are you here today?" she asked as she did not know what to say. However, she wanted to bite her tongue as soon as she said it.It was not easy for her to get past the blind date issue, and now, she was mentioning it herself.Sure enough, he looked at her and said, "If
"Thinking of..." She suddenly shuddered, her eyes staring straight at the person in front of her. Come to think of it, Bai Tingxin was now the patriarch of the Bai family. He would of course have his contacts and connections. If Bai Tingxin would help her investigate Yiran's case, it would be easier to get some useful leads. With that, the light in her eyes got brighter. She looked at Bai Tingxin like she was looking at a freshly baked bun."Well... I know I did you wrong and I admit to everything you said. I promise I'll do whatever you want, but... can you do me a little favor while we're dating?" Qin Lianyi looked at him expectantly."A favor?" Bai Tingxin was a little surprised. "What 'little favor' do you want me to do for you?" Judging by her brown-nosing look, it was probably not that little."Well, my friend Yiran, the one who came to find me with Yi Jinli the other day… She was wrongly convicted of a crime and spent three years in prison, but she was actually wronged. We
He looked at her hands rather fixedly. Her hands were now gripping his as if even they were expressing joy.He looked up and caught sight of her happy smile. Suddenly, he was a little jealous because her smile was not because of him but Ling Yiran.Clearly, Ling Yiran was far more important to her than he was!...In the car, Gu Lichen leaned back in his seat and rubbed his temples gently.His secretary, who was also in the car, said to Gu Lichen shortly after receiving a phone call, "Mr. Gu, the set of jewelry Miss Ling chose at the jewelry store is worth 20 million dollars. Do you want Miss Ling to take them?"20 million dollars was a little expensive, so the owner of the jewelry store called to inquire about it.Gu Lichen said lightly, "Since she has made her choice, she can have them.""All right," replied the secretary. Then, he replied to the owner of the jewelry store accordingly. However, he secretly felt that Miss Ling was too shallow. They had only dated for such a sh
