Lin Qingqing looked delighted when she heard that, and she clung onto her mother’s arm. “Mom, you are the best! Were you the one who went looking for Aunty Song?”
Mrs. Lin smiled gently when she heard that and replied with a tender voice, “How could I not know what my daughter is thinking? Besides, I do think that the man this time is decent. But… he doesn’t seem willing to go on a blind date. I wonder…”
“Mom, that’s impossible. I’ve asked around, and it turns out that Ye Moxuan does not have a girlfriend. Otherwise, with Aunty Song’s character, how would she allow him to go on a blind date?”
“That’s true; we have to trust Aunty Song’s word.”
Once she was dressed for the occasion, Lin Qingqing made her way downstairs, and she smiled tenderly at Song An. “Aunty Song, good day to you. Why are you so free to drop by today?”
Song An glanced at Lin Qingqing’s outfit. She was wearing a light pink knitted top paired with a pink tulle skirt. Her beautiful curly hair hung loosely around her shoulders, and she had very light makeup on, which made her fair face look smooth as a baby’s bottom.
As an elder, Song An liked this type of girl. The Lin Family was also considered a family with a good background; her father ran a company, whereas her mother was a doctor in the hospital. Despite being in such a good family, Lin Qingqing was not spoiled at all.
Such a wonderful girl is difficult to come by. Hence, Song An was determined to introduce her to Ye Moxuan.
“Don’t you know why I’m here?” Song An smiled after asking her.
Mrs. Lin, who was nearby, chuckled when she heard that. Lin Qingqing blushed furiously when she heard that, and she seemed so embarrassed that she was at a loss for words. She stood rooted to the spot for ages before finally making her way to Song An’s side. Ling Qingqing took the initiative and sat beside Song An before clinging onto her arm. “Aunty Song, you’re making fun of me, aren’t you?” she uttered in a quiet voice before biting her lower lip.
Seeing the girl acting so coyly, Song An touched her nose and commented, “When have I made fun of you? I’ve obviously seen through your thoughts. Later, you should have a meal with me, and if there’s a chance, I’ll ask Moxuan out.”
Lin Qingqing nodded shyly. “Thank you, Aunty Song. You’re so generous to me. But will Moxuan come over?”
“Moxuan is rather obedient when it comes to me. He has a very cold façade, but a warm heart, so it might be slightly exhausting in the beginning with him. Hence, I’m going to ask you beforehand—are you confident?”
Confident? Lin Qingqing was stunned to silence for a moment, but she broke into a grin soon enough. “If I understand you correctly, Aunty Song, you are asking whether I’m confident in melting this huge iceberg.”
Song An nodded in agreement.
“Don’t worry, Aunty Song. I will not complain about his personality. On the contrary… I especially like this type of personality. He’s just like an iceberg, which means that he will be like an iceberg toward other girls too, not just me. As long as he doesn’t have a girlfriend, I’ll stand a chance. Besides… I’m anticipating for the iceberg to melt for me one day.” With that, Lin Qingqing seemed to have reached her limit because she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Song An regarded Lin Qingqing meaningfully before looking up to meet Mrs. Lin’s gaze. “Good girl. I knew I wouldn’t be wrong about a person. Well, let’s go now.”
At Debao Restaurant.
“I asked him to come over for a meal. Let’s order first. Moxuan is usually punctual, and I’m sure he will show up.”
Lin Qingqing picked her phone up and glanced at the time, thereupon she noted that it was five minutes to the scheduled time. She then picked the menu up and ordered some snacks with Song An.
Ye Moxuan showed up in the restaurant on the dot. When he entered the restaurant, his dark eyes started scanning the crowd for Song An. However, when he realized that there was another figure seated beside Song An, he scowled in disdain.
My aunt is so annoying. She phoned me while claiming that she’s heading back to Su City, and that’s why she wanted to have a farewell meal with me before she leaves. Who would have expected her to arrange for another blind date for me? Ha! That’s fine. I’ll treat this as a farewell meal.
“Moxuan!” Song An called out for him when he was still deep in his thoughts.
Ye Moxuan was tall and well-built, and he attracted lots of attention the moment he entered the restaurant. He attracted even more attention when he started making his way toward Song An’s table.
Looking at the handsome and god-like man approaching her table, Lin Qingqing felt her heart race in her chest, and it felt as if her heart might leap into her throat. Her fingers were all entwined tightly underneath the table.
This man… is mine. Even though he isn’t mine right now… he will be mine one day!
“Come, come, have a seat,” invited Song An with a smile while pulling Ye Moxuan to have a seat. Then, she stood up while announcing, “You youngsters should have a chat. I’ll go shopping nearby now.”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes glazed over with a layer of frost when he heard that while staring at her. “Farewell meal?”
Song An looked rather embarrassed, and Lin Qingqing realized that Song An tricked Ye Moxuan to have this meal with her. Nevertheless, Lin Qingqing was determined to get what she wanted, and so she didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
“The two of you should enjoy your meal. You have to stay for at least half an hour before leaving. Bye, now.” With that, Song An left the restaurant in a rush.
Meanwhile, Han Muzi didn’t have much of an appetite, and she tried resting after a few mouthfuls of rice. By the time she woke up from her afternoon nap, she realized with a start that it was almost 2. Thus, she panicked and phoned Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing sounded anxious when she answered the phone call. “Shelly?”
“Miss Lin, good day to you. It’s almost our scheduled time, but I have yet to receive an address from you. May I ask…”
“Oh, I’m so sorry, Shelly. I’m at Debao Restaurant having a meal with my friend, and that’s why I forgot to text you.”
“Debao Restaurant?” Han Muzi made her way to the full-length window in front of her. She stared at Debao Restaurant, which happened to be just right across the street, and she smiled immediately. “Miss Lin, is it the one right opposite our company?”
Lin Qingqing was stunned to silence for a while before answering, “I think so… yes.”
“In that case, please hang on for a while, and I’ll be there to meet you.”
Lin Qingqing regarded the handsome man, who was sitting opposite her, and she was just about to reject Han Muzi, but the latter had hung up the call. She blinked several times when she heard the beeping tone through the phone. I wanted to say that it’s inconvenient for me, and that we should schedule a later meaning, but she…
“Miss Lin, do you have matters to attend to?” She was spacing out when Ye Moxuan asked her with a frosty tone out of the blue.
Lin Qingqing snapped back to her senses and kept her phone back into her bag. “No, I don’t.” If I say that I’m busy or continue staring at my phone, I have a feeling that Ye Moxuan will just leave straight away.
Ye Moxuan frowned slightly at her. This woman… just can’t stop pestering me. As a man, I’m already giving her the cold shoulder, but here she is, sitting there like a rock.
As Ye Moxuan stood up, Lin Qingqing broke the silence in a panic. “Mr. Ye, where are you going?”
Ye Moxuan paused in his steps and replied to her coldly, “To the washroom.” Didn’t Song An ask me to be here for at half an hour? I shall fulfill her wishes, then. But she didn’t specify where I have to be within the half an hour, did she?
Seeing as Ye Moxuan wasn’t leaving the restaurant, and that he was just going to the washroom, Lin Qingqing let out a sigh of relief.
