45: blind date

"Sister Mu, you're really overestimating me."

Ye Xi sipped her porridge.

Mu Qingge coughed twice lightly, then said shyly, "Xiao Xi, do you have anything planned for this morning? Do you want Sister to take you out to play?"

"Maybe next time, Sister Mu. I might have a blind date this morning."

Ye Xi explained with a smile. This matter happened very suddenly; her mother, Ye Yaqin, had just informed her last minute.

"A blind date? Is it a man or a woman?"

Mu Qingge's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her good mood suddenly turned a little gloomy. The feeling of having another love rival was truly unpleasant.

"Of course it's a girl. My mother couldn't decline, so she told me to go meet her. If it works out, we'll date for a few years and get married after graduation."

Ye Xi's voice was full of complaints. In such hot weather, who the hell would want to go out?

"Then how about Sister goes with you?" Mu Qingge asked tentatively.

Ye Xi: "It's quite embarrassing to trouble you with something like this, isn't it?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? I've always treated you like my younger sister."

"When we go, I'll observe secretly. You know, there are so many bad girls on blind dates these days. You wouldn't want to be dragged into a store to buy handbags and get ripped off like a fool, would you?"

"Alright then, thank you, Sister. Let's both go get ready and change clothes first."

Seeing Mu Qingge's pleading eyes, Ye Xi nodded. It was similar to meeting someone online; having someone accompany her seemed quite good.

After Mu Qingge left, Ye Xi returned to her room, deciding to get herself properly ready.

Anyway, no matter how the other person looked, she was going to reject them.

If the person was decent, she would politely decline. If the person was terrible, she would just give them a 'friend zone' card directly.

She washed her beautiful face with cool water to make herself look more energetic, then changed to a neutral hairstyle.

With a pair of bright big eyes and delicate features, from a distance, she was definitely a handsome young man whose gender was hard to distinguish.

Just then, her phone rang again.

"Son, are you ready? As a boy, try to go a bit early. Don't make the other person wait too long."

"If the other person really isn't suitable, then cancel it."

From the other end of the phone came the sweet voice of a woman in her thirties or forties.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm a grown person; I know what politeness means."

Ye Yaqin on the other end of the phone was still a little worried.

"Xiao Xi, be confident when you go on the blind date. Don't be self-conscious. Our family isn't that poor. Mom still has some money; it's enough to buy you a house and a car outright in our hometown."

"Okay, okay, I know."

Actually, Ye Xi was also puzzled about where the family's money came from.

Since she could remember, she had no father, and her mother didn't seem to work much, yet they could still afford the family's living expenses.

With an hour left until their agreed time, Ye Xi and Mu Qingge arrived at the garage.

The Ferrari sports car moved quickly through the city center traffic. In a short while, the two arrived at a popular internet-famous barbecue restaurant.

This barbecue restaurant was located in Central Square. Central Square could be said to be one of the largest squares in the entire city, known as a shopping paradise for women and a nightmare for men.

"Xiao Xi, if anything goes wrong, I'll come to your aid. I'll sit at the table next to you."

Mu Qingge looked at Ye Xi with a beaming smile.

"Alright."

Just then, her phone rang again.

Ye Xi looked and saw it was a call from the blind date, Liu Xiaoqian.

"Hello," Ye Xi replied politely.

"Your voice... are you a girl?"

Liu Xiaoqian on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned, a little displeased.

Although the voice was sweet, for a man to have such a voice, how effeminate would that be? Unimaginable, unimaginable!

"No, no! I'm a boy."

Ye Xi, realizing her mistake, immediately adjusted her voice.

"That's more normal. I'm stuck in traffic and might be late. Please wait a bit longer."

Listening to the girl's voice, Ye Xi felt a little displeased. Being late for a blind date showed that this girl didn't seem to take it very seriously.

"Alright, please hurry. I'm at XX Barbecue in Central Square. Contact me when you get to the entrance, and I'll lead you over."

After hanging up, Mu Qingge looked at Ye Xi with a smile and said, "I heard a bit of your conversation just now. I have a bad feeling about this."

Ye Xi shook her head and said, "Who cares? I didn't have high hopes for her anyway."

"Take this."

Looking at the Ferrari car key Mu Qingge handed over, Ye Xi was a little confused and said, "Sister Mu, why are you giving this to me?"

"Take it. If she looks down on you, slap her face hard. You can drive it for a few years if you want."

On the other side, in the Central Square parking lot.

Inside a BMW, a woman and a middle-aged man with a beer belly were passionately kissing.

"Come here, give me a kiss."

"Mmm, Papaya."

This was a young, beautiful woman, looking to be in her early twenties, wearing light makeup, and quite attractive.

"Boss, I'm going on a blind date. You won't be angry, will you?"

The man with the lecherous gaze smiled and said, "Baby, how could I possibly be angry?"

"Shall we get going?"

"What's the rush? That man is probably a simp, nine times out of ten. What's wrong with making him wait a bit longer? I'll buy you a Chanel bag after this is over." The man stroked the girl's face.

Inside the car, the two were passionately kissing.

"Mommy, what are those two doing in the car?"

Just then, a new car parked next to the BMW, and a young mother and son got out.

The child, a few years old, curiously looked at the BMW not far away.

The young mother glanced over and quickly covered her son's eyes.

"Doing such things in a car in broad daylight, really no regard for image."

"Mommy, I want to see."

"You come with me."

The young mother, blushing, forcefully pulled her son away.
