Chapter 07 - The blind date

Chapter 07 - The blind date

On a beautiful morning, Ming & Rong's face was blooming like a flower. No doubt, they were in a good mood.

They held some handbags in their hands and enjoyed a pleasant day while chatting. Their shining smiles spread all over their faces, revealing their happiness.

"Ahh! Nothing is better than shopping," Ming commented while spreading her hands in the air.

"Indeed. It makes me feel free from all worries," Rong replied.

After yesterday's mess, both of them came to their favorite mall to refresh themselves.

Stopping for a while, Ming put her hand inside the bag and took out a black packet.

"Surprise!!" She showed it to Rong as her smile curved into a tiny grin.

"Where did you get this one? I thought it's a limited edition of a new face mask."

With her eyes gleaming, she flipped her hair. "Hmph! I'm a master of sales. I got this pack at a discount. Also, with a get one-buy one policy. I bought one for you as well." She gave the packet to Rong, and her cheeks glowed up. "Wow! Ming, you're an Ace. I'm blessed to be your best friend."

"I know, right!" She winked at Rong as she nodded her head in cheering.

Both of them were sitting and chatting when a couple came from the front.

Seeing them, anyone could tell that they are a new couple, showing off affection for each other.

The girl stopped in front of them and pulled the guy in her arms.

Narrowing her brows with a smirk plastered on her face, she caressed his cheeks. "Honey, will you buy anything for me?"

Smiling lovingly at her, the boy replied. "Of course, baby. Anything for you."

Their sold-out drama was enough for anyone to puke. Both sneered at them while standing up. "Eph! My eyes can't tolerate drama. Let's go somewhere else, Rong."

Ming pulled Rong to her side, and while gripping her arm, she dragged her away. The couple stood there shot glares at them. Just then, Rong bowed to them, apologizing.

........................................

"Ming, they heard us." Paying no attention to her words, Ming kept walking ahead. "Huh? So what? It's a public place. They can show off their drama somewhere else. Get a room if needed."

"Aish! You're daring."

With her face-wide smile, she winked at her. "Must learn from me then."

"Got it, master Zhao."

After he typed a few emails on the laptop, Shaoqing stared at the hand of a clock and watched it changing positions. His pale face was showing off the rain pouring in his heart.

A sigh of exhaust escaped his lips. "If I could control the time, I would rather freeze it."

To add shine to his lost soul, his assistant knocked at the door.

"Boss, may I come in?"

"You're already in."

Lowering his head, he looked down. "That's correct too. Anyway, here's your meeting schedule." He put down the files on his table when he leaned back on his chair. "Cancel all the meetings for today."

It amazed him to hear this. The boss who likes to work overtime wanted to take leave today.

With wrinkles formed across his forehead, he asked. "B-boss, are you sick? Are you taking a leave? Unexpected."

"I have to go on a blind date."

Upon hearing this, his face was evincing his irritation. "AGAIN? Boss, you're going on a blind date for the 10th time this month. Why don't you just get married?"

Just one glare was enough for Shaoqing to scare anyone. "Don't you want a salary for this month?"

For his salary, Xiaomi also turned from a lion to a drenched cat.

He bowed his head and gave a sweet compliment. "Boss, you're the best. Please, don't cut my salary."

"Huh! Here you come back on the track."

..........................................

It was five o'clock in the evening.

Wen Shaoqing was almost ready for the blind date. He wore a blue-colored suit with a white shirt underneath.

He looked damn hot enough to make anyone fall for him. His shiny set hair with a sparkling glow on his face could tempt anyone.

His deep black eyes and heart-shaped lips were so fine. God took lots of time to create such a handsome guy.

Not only rich in looks but also gifted with brilliant business skills.

While checking his watch rapidly, he was waiting for that girl sitting in a cafe in the famous mall of the city.

He was wretched at heart, but now this blues had turned into hatred.

He took time out of his busy schedule and came to meet that girl, and she was already late.

After waiting for a while, he had totally lost the patience that suddenly a girl approached him.

"Mr. Wen, I'm sorry for coming late."

Pissed already, he tried to keep his ass down and not pick a fight with her.

"It's all fine. At least, you came before I went back."

She understood clearly from his bitter words and tried to change the topic.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Lisa. I studied abroad and recently came back to China. Though I wasn't interested in a blind date, Aunt Wen requested a lot. You must be Wen Shaoqing, right, the famous business owner?"

After hearing her intro, he kept a poker face and scoffed. "Are you majoring in acting? Sorry to say, you still need to improve."

His words were enough to trigger her.

Her lips curled up when she asked. "What do you mean?"

"Am I not clear with my words? You know everything about me, and also I have no interest in you. As you need lessons for acting, let's not waste each other's time. I don't know about you, but I've got a busy schedule."

Standing up while fixing his coat, he added. "I paid for your coffee. Take it as a treat by me. Good luck with your acting lessons. Goodbye."

.........................................

After leaving there, all of a sudden, his head started aching. In this condition, it was difficult for him to drive the car. He parked his car in a corner and took a break for a while.

While massaging his forehead, he shut his eyes. "Why is my head paining so suddenly? I didn't bring medicine as well."

The reason for his headache was clear, his stress disorder, which had been going on for a year. Because of his work, he had spoiled his health schedule. Not sleeping on time, skipping meals led him to a stress disorder. Still, he didn't listen to doctors and was reliant on medicines.

He seemed a bit fine after pulling his eyes a little. While pressing his head, his gaze fell on the side glass of the car. He saw a girl running, and behind her were some goon-type guys.

Rubbing his eyes, he again glanced at their reflection. "Wait! Is she Zhao Ming?"
