Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Three Years Later
The phone rang, interrupting Qi Yuqing’s mories.
She picked up the phone.
“Mom!”
“I’m about to go to work, can you be quick? I don’t have ti.”
The voice on the other end was her mother’s, making her furrow her brows deeply.
This was like a death call.
Her mother was urging her to marry again.
“Qingqing, I’ve arranged for you to et Auntie’s son, Lu Kai, after work today. He just returned from studying in Arica, three years older than you, perfect age, 1.85 ters tall, and the CEO of a listed company. He’s been too busy with his career to focus on relationships all these years.
You two would be perfect for each other. After work this afternoon, at 7 PM, at the fifth table in the Kayue Western Restaurant. You have to be there, or your dad and I will co over imdiately.”
Qi Yuqing smiled bitterly, this was a threat.
“Alright, Mom! I got it, I’ll go, okay?”
This wasn’t the first ti.
It’s just a blind date. If she couldn’t handle even this, then she wouldn’t be Qi Yuqing.
“Good! Qingqing, you can’t keep delaying. If this continues, you’ll only find a divorced man in the future. Don’t worry your parents, okay? Who are we doing this for? It’s all for your own good!
If you settle down early, we can be at ease, knowing you’re working alone in the Capital City! With no one to care for you! How can your dad and I be at ease?”
Qi’s mother started earnestly pleading.
Qi Yuqing moved the receiver away from her ear, “Mom, I have surgery to perform, can’t talk now, bye!”
Then, before her mom could say anything, she quickly hung up the phone.
This is stressful.
Qi’s mother was angry, staring at the phone. Every ti it ca to this, the child had the sa attitude, which truly made her heart ache.
Since splitting up with Bai Song three years ago, the child had fallen seriously ill when she ca back, then shut herself in her room for three days and nights and never ntioned that Bai Song again.
But, as parents, how could they not know the child had a wound in her heart?
They didn’t know what Bai Song had said to Qi Yuqing.
Nor did they understand how the two ended things.
They thought these wounds could heal with ti.
The problem is, it’s been three years.
This child no longer wants to be with anyone.
It made them so anxious their hair was falling out.
So, there were countless blind dates.
Just hoping the child would suddenly et soone she liked and suddenly co around.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuqing seed to have tightly shut the door to her heart.
She was almost thirty.
If she didn’t marry soon, she’d truly be an old maid.
How could Qi’s father and mother not be anxious?
Sotis, they awoke in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and felt a bit of regret.
Had they known, they would have let Bai Song and Qi Yuqing be together.
He’s just a cop.
Problems could be solved together, wouldn’t that be better?
It’s better than the child being thoroughly heartbroken and not even planning to marry.
Heaven knows, this isn’t a sin.
The mother’s feelings were most complicated for the first ti.
Qi Yuqing doesn’t know.
And would never know.
After all, she continues doing her own thing.
At this mont, Qi’s mother truly felt remorse.
In her casual way of speaking, she couldn’t even see that Qi Yuqing was just putting her on.
Even if she went, it would probably be for nothing.
She really wished she could hit herself.
Why couldn’t she see Bai Song?
Just because he’s a cop doesn’t necessarily an he’ll die in the line of duty, and being a cop doesn’t necessarily an he’ll put his family in danger, even if he’s a cop, he can protect his family.
What exactly did she do?
Qi Yuqing worked all day, only after getting off work did she suddenly rember that a blind date was waiting for her at the western restaurant.
Looking at the ti, there was half an hour left, not bad, at least she wouldn’t be late.
It’s not that she valued this eting very much!
It’s just that she’s not used to making people wait.
It’s a personal issue.
Even if she doesn’t like the person, she wouldn’t deliberately make him wait.
As soon as she walked into the western restaurant, a waiter asked if she had a reservation.
Upon hearing she did, the waiter led her to the table.
A man was already sitting there.
He indeed looked mature and steady.
And quite attractive, looking just like an industry elite.
When he saw her, he imdiately stood up.
There was a gentle smile on his face, and an indescribable look of anticipation.
“Qi Yuqing, hello, I’m Lu Kai!”
He extended his hand, stubbornly waiting for her response.
Qi Yuqing gently shook his hand and then let go.
Perhaps because of her profession as a doctor, she was increasingly averse to physical contact.
With a sarcastic chuckle, she thought she might have developed a phobia.
She hasn’t beco anything important, yet her quirks are piling up.
“Hello! I’m Qi Yuqing.”
They both sat down.
Lu Kai looked at Qi Yuqing graciously, the corners of his mouth holding a smile, his deanor making Qi Yuqing feel strange and indescribably odd.
“Actually, I know you, but you don’t know !”
Lu Kai saw the surprised look on the girl’s face he admired, and laughed suddenly, knowing this girl wouldn’t notice other n.
“When? I really have no impression! Sorry, my mory is terrible, I’m face blind.”
Qi Yuqing felt awkward.
He knows her! Yet she has no recollection of him.
“I knew you wouldn’t rember, we used to live in the sa courtyard! My family lived right below yours.
Every ti you went to school, you’d run into , but most of the ti you wouldn’t even look at , just ran off with your friends. You had a lot of friends then, all went to school together, that’s why it was morable for .”
Qi Yuqing suddenly rembered that indeed, there was sothing like that.
There really was a big boy living downstairs, she had run into him a few tis, but never greeted him because he didn’t live there long, only two or three years before moving.
She did have that impression.
But she couldn’t rember the boy’s face.
She didn’t expect it to be Lu Kai.
“It’s you, I really didn’t expect we’d et like this. Back then, I only knew how to play around, not caring about anything.”
Since they were acquaintances, the atmosphere relaxed imdiately.
They shared a grand al, and Qi Yuqing insisted not to let Lu Kai pay, opting for a split bill instead.
During the al, soone called her phone, an unfamiliar number, but she didn’t pay it any mind.
Advertising these days is annoying.
After dinner, Lu Kai and she left.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Lu Kai, behind her, called out to Qi Yuqing.
“It was nice eting you today. I think we could continue seeing each other.”
Lu Kai seed a bit nervous.
“It’s my first ti dating soone of the opposite sex, I don’t really know what to do. If I’m doing sothing wrong, you can tell and I’ll try my best.”
This was the most formal confession.
Qi Yuqing frowned.
Looking at the man in front of her, “Lu Kai, you’re really great! But I’m not ready to start a relationship! Nor do I have plans for marriage, all of this is my parents’ doing, do you understand?”
She didn’t want to give anyone a false impression and ambiguously lead them on.
Even though Lu Kai in front of her was indeed nice.
That doesn’t an she’s changed her mind.
