Chapter 366 - Push Her Away (1/2)

"Jian Ge, I heard you went on a date," Xu Mey pretended like it was a casual question but she was not being casual at all. She looked more like a woman looking for gossips.

"I wonder who's your informer. You're always up-to-date." He Jian answered in a free and easy way.

"I'm the Crown Queen, Ms. Know-it-all. Have to make an effort to keep this position." Xu Mey answered cheekily.

He Jian chuckled gently but didn't say anything.

"So...? Don't tell me you are being pressurized into this relationship," Xu Mey immediately became serious.

"They can pressurize me for the date but they can't make me say yes for the marriage." He Jian also answered in a serious way. "Also, I've only decided to give it a try. She seems like a nice girl."

"Does she now? How come she managed to impress you so soon?" Xu Mey's curiosity piqued.

"I asked her a question and... Let's say she bought me over with her answer." His face had a slight smile on it which surprised Xu Mey.

"What did she say?"

*Flashback*

He Jian entered the bamboo tree house for the date which had been postponed for months now. When he stepped inside the private room, he found a delicate looking girl sipping her tea. Her long lashes slowly lifted and she gave a small nod with her head to greet He Jian.

She looked beautiful with her soft features and her manners made her even more elegant.

"Sorry for keeping you wait," He Jian apologized and saw her smiling in return.

"Don't be. Perhaps I was too eager and came earlier than the time." She answered in her soft voice which sounded like wind chimes in a slow breeze of a spring night. "By the way, I'm Zhao Mi'er." The way she introduced herself showed that she was a confident young lady.

"I'm He Jian." He answered politely.

"I know." She answered with a smile again. Her smile and those bright, big eyes made him feel a bit flustered for some reason. But he didn't think much about her words.
