He kept addressing her as Auntie Qian. The three of them could do nothing but feel vexed and stifled.

“No, no need.” Qian Mufang pushed the menu aside. Given her age and looks, the children would always address her as their sister. Today, a man who was one year older than her addressed her as auntie. Qian Mufang patted her chest that throbbed with pain.

“Then, let’s get them to serve the food.” Zhai Sheng behaved as if he was the sensible junior and arranged for the waiters to serve the food and paid for the meal thereafter. “Mom, you finally have a new friend. You must be happy about this year’s birthday, right?”

“H-happy?” Miao Jing asked in an unsteady tone.

Zhai Sheng smiled. “It’s good that you are happy. Today is your birthday. What’s important is that you are happy.”

Miao Jing felt as if she was blacking out. She was exasperated at Zhai Sheng’s behavior.

Secretary Qian and Qian Mufang stared at each other without saying anything. It was obvious that Madam Zhai had a sullen expression, but Regiment Commander Zhai said that she was happy. As the outsiders, it was best to keep their silence.

Despite coming to the blind date, the pair of father and daughter from the Qian family knew that the Zhai family was, in fact, out of their reach.

As the saying went, women would marry someone who was of a higher social status than her, whereas it was the other way round for men. Qian Mufang never felt that she was wrong in looking for a good catch like Zhai Sheng.

However, when things did not go smoothly, the gap between the Qian family and the Zhai family became very obvious.

Though Secretary Qian and Qian Mufang felt that they had been ridiculed by the Zhai family, they dared not voice their unhappiness.

Miao Jing finished her birthday meal in a stifling atmosphere. Ever since Zhai Sheng addressed Qian Mufang as his auntie, the atmosphere was so awkward that n.o.body made other comments or conversation. Among the four of them, Zhai Sheng was the only person who was cool and collected. The others looked somewhat stiff.

In the end, everyone left the hotel full of the meal. Zhai Sheng ate to his heart’s’ content and did not care whether the rest of them had a good meal or not. “Auntie Qian, did you come in a car? If not, how about I get you a car?”

Zhai Sheng bore in mind that Qian Mufang was his auntie and that he was her junior. He respected the elder and wanted to get a car for her.

“No, no need. We can call the car by ourselves.” Secretary Qian refused. Regiment Commander Zhai’s att.i.tude was very obvious. Even if they continued to harbor any other thoughts, it would not turn out well. It was best to call it a stop for today.

“Dad?” Qian Mufang followed right behind Secretary Qian, perplexed.

In order to create the opportunity for Qian Mufang and Zhai Sheng to spend more time together, Secretary Qian did not drive today. Their original plan was that Secretary Qian would say that he had forgotten that he had work to do and would need to go back to his office. In that case, Miao Jing would then suggest for Zhai Sheng to send Qian Mufang home.

Secretary Qian gave Qian Mufang a rea.s.suring look and got them a car. “Madam Miao, I wish you a happy birthday and if there’s a chance, let’s have a meal again.”
