"Young Master Han, over here, over here, right here."
Sitting by the window on the second floor of the Chinese restaurant, Mrs. Lin imdiately waved her hand in excitent as soon as she saw the man appear, extrely enthusiastic.
"Auntie, sorry to have kept you waiting, no need to be so polite, just call Han Fei."
The man responded politely to Mrs. Lin.
Unlike the arrogant and domineering young thug downstairs, he was also a seasoned actor.
"Hehe, Han Fei, co and take a seat."
Han Fei walked over to the dining table
"Why don’t I see your daughter here?"
Han Fei looked at Mrs. Lin sitting there alone, slightly displeased.
He had not yet t his blind date, but had heard that she was a top-tier beauty, which was why he had rushed over in excitent, and now, not seeing her, he couldn’t help but feel a bit let down.
Mrs. Lin explained.
"My daughter went to pick soone up, hehe, Han Fei, you see, the thing is, Auntie wants to match my daughter with you, but we’ve run into a bit of trouble and might need your help."
Mrs. Lin began to share her plan with Han Fei
...
"Where is he, how co he’s not here yet?"
Lin Yanran stood at the intersection, looking around for Zhang Xiaoshan’s figure.
"If you weren’t coming, why didn’t you say it earlier, why stand up?"
Lin Yanran suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, tears already spinning in her eyes.
So many n pursued her, wishing to have a al with her, and she wouldn’t give them the ti of day. This was the first ti she had extended an invitation to a man, and yet he was disrespecting her; naturally, she felt sowhat dejected.
"Miss Lin."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
She was startled and looked up in the direction of the sound.
There she saw Zhang Xiaoshan appearing not far away, walking briskly toward her.
Black casual pants, white casual shoes, a black sweater, and a light coffee-colored coat worn over it.
"Dr. Zhang..."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, Lin Yanran was overjoyed and hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes.
"What, you’ve been crying?"
Zhang Xiaoshan saw Lin Yanran’s misty eyes and couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Yanran said.
"If it weren’t for you, I would have thought you weren’t coming. You made cry."
"Hehe."
Zhang Xiaoshan laughed a little.
"It wasn’t on purpose, the traffic was too heavy, so I’m late. I’m really sorry. You must be starving, let’s go eat, and as an apology, this al is on ."
Zhang Xiaoshan walked towards the Chinese restaurant.
"Hey, wait up!"
Lin Yanran tugged at the hem of Zhang Xiaoshan’s coat.
"Dr. Zhang, don’t rush, I, I haven’t told you sothing yet."
"What is it?"
"It’s, it’s just that I didn’t co alone, my, my mom is also inside," Lin Yanran said, looking down, her face blushing, a bit guilty.
"What, your mom is here too?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised.
"Weren’t you eting alone?"
"What, are you afraid an extra person, my mom, will eat you out of house and ho? Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the al."
"No, that’s not what I an, it’s just that, us, this, this sudden eting with parents, it seems a bit..."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked troubled.
Lin Yanran took a deep breath and said
"Alright, I won’t hide it from you anymore, the truth is, I invited you over because, aside from dinner, the main reason is my mom wants to et you."
"Your mom wants to et ? What for?"
"This, this, us, this..."
Zhang Xiaoshan was sowhat at a loss for words.
How had he and Lin Yanran reached the step of eting the parents?
Lin Yanran’s face turned so red it looked like it could bleed, as she stuttered and spoke with a tremble.
"I have to be honest with you, I asked you here today to bail out. My family has been pressuring to get married and even introduced to potential matches, but you don’t know how terrible the reputation of my suitor is. If I really married that person, I would be in utter misery."
"Moreover, I don’t want to get married yet, so, in a mont of desperation, I lied and said I already had a boyfriend, and my mom insisted on eting him, but where could I possibly find a boyfriend?"
"I don’t really know any n at all; you’re the only one I can ask for help."
"Dr. Zhang, please, would you do this favor?"
Lin Yanran looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with hopeful eyes.
That look could lt hearts.
"You’re not joking with , are you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan felt overwheld.
His love life was just too much of a ss, wasn’t it?
There were far too many won, and though Lin Yanran was charming, he was not soone who could afford to get involved with her.
He had previously pretended to be Teacher Xu Jing’s boyfriend at a class reunion, and ever since, she had been infatuated with him, to the point where he now felt guilty. Now Lin Yanran was taking it even further by wanting to et the parents; what was next, forcing a marriage?
The thought was frightening.
"No, Miss Lin, we’re friends, and I’ll definitely help you with anything within my power, but, but with such a life-changing matter, how can I assist you?"
"You’re the heiress of Lin’s Pharmaceutical, and I’m just a village doctor. Even if I have a little property, there’s still quite a gap between and the Lin family. Even if I agree to pretend, your mom won’t be convinced."
"Why not find soone else to help you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanran’s expression instantly fell.
"Forget it, I thought we were friends and you would help out."
"Who would have thought that you’d just stand by and watch suffer."
"Besides, is it such a huge imposition for you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit?"
"Am I that unlikable?"
"Never mind, never mind, let’s pretend I never asked you. I’ll just marry soone at random."
Lin Yanran rattled on like a machine gun, then turned and walked away.
She wasn’t normally so sensitive, but right now, Zhang Xiaoshan had truly hit a nerve.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Xiaoshan, sowhat speechless, dashed after her and grabbed Lin Yanran’s arm.
"Why are you pulling ? Let go."
Lin Yanran looked extrely aggrieved.
Zhang Xiaoshan couldn’t help but sarcastically comnt.
"Are you a dog, flipping out just like that? Fine, fine, you scare ."
"So does that an, you’re agreeing?"
Lin Yanran’s eyes imdiately lit up with surprise.
Zhang Xiaoshan began to suspect that Lin Yanran’s anger was just an act.
"Yes, you terrify , Miss Lin. Let’s go."
"Hehehe, alright, alright, don’t worry, I’ll rember this favor, let’s go."
Lin Yanran giggled, worried that Zhang Xiaoshan might change his mind, she quickly grabbed his arm and hurried into the Chinese restaurant.
...
"Oh, I understand what you an, Auntie. Don’t worry, I, Han Fei, am confident I’m one of the finest of the younger generation. It’s just a country bumpkin; if he doesn’t show up today, it’s even better. But if he does co, just wait and see how I’ll humiliate him."
After listening to Mrs. Lin’s description, Han Fei was brimming with arrogant confidence.
"Han Fei, it makes very happy that you can say this. Rest assured, Auntie supports you. If all goes well, your marriage to Yanran can be settled soon."
In his mind, Han Fei thought: "Idiot, who wants to marry your daughter? But I’ve heard that the heiress of Lin’s Pharmaceutical is quite a catch in both looks and figure; should be quite enjoyable to get with."
Just at that mont, Zhang Xiaoshan and Lin Yanran ca up the stairs.
"Hmm, why is this woman appearing here?"
"Wait, that guy with her seems familiar too?"
As Han Fei looked at Lin Yanran and Zhang Xiaoshan, he furrowed his brow.
