143 A Sudden Rip in His Pants (2/2)
An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang exited the room with the aprons in their hands, only to see Long Tianze coming out of another room with four middle-aged people and a gorgeous woman. Mei Yangyang stared wide-eyed at the sight before her as her jaw dropped in shock. Was it a matchmaking session? she wondered to herself.
Dumbfounded, she stood rooted to the ground.
An Xiaoning pulled her forward to greet Long Tianze, as well as the rest of the people he was with.
”Hi, Uncle and Auntie, you're here for lunch too?”
”Hello, Xiaoning. Yes, we're here for a matchmaking session for Tianze.”
An Xiaoning took a glimpse of Long Tianze and said calmly, ”Oh, I see. We're just about to go downstairs too.”
”Let's go together.”
An Xiaoning turned around and began walking while Mei Yangyang followed closely beside her.
Long Tianze remained silent, looking at her from behind.
Mei Yangyang had gone outside the restaurant while An Xiaoning was still footing the bill.
By the time Long Tianze reached the entrance, Mei Yangyang was already nowhere in sight.
He then proceeded to give her a call, but she did not answer.
”Tianze, what are you doing? Go send Ms. Lin home,” Mrs. Long instructed softly as she approached him.
”Mother, I have something to attend to.”
”You still have to send her home, no matter how urgent it is. Hurry,” Mrs. Long urged him.
Not wanting to embarrass his mother in front of everyone, Long Tianze reluctantly proceeded to send Lin Mingxi home as instructed.
An Xiaoning got inside the car only to see that Mei Yangyang had teared up while seated in the backseat.
”It's just a meeting arranged by their parents, they might not really get married. Just answer his call and agree to be his girlfriend, if he's still wooing you,” said An Xiaoning.
”I'm not going to. It's only been a few days and he's already gone for a matchmaking session. So much for wanting to woo me,” Mei Yangyang answered, sounding a little disgruntled.
”Yangyang, do you fancy him? From the way I see it, you've definitely fallen for him. In that case, you should grab the opportunity while he's still interested. Besides, you can still continue to know him better after you get into a relationship with him. As long as you know your boundaries, there isn't much of a difference between just casually dating and being in a relationship. Moreover, that would make him off-limits to other women who may be interested in him, wouldn't it?”
Mei Yangyang had an epiphanic moment as she found that her words had made quite a bit of sense.
”We'll become a couple after getting into a relationship. What if he wants to get intimate…”
”Like I mentioned, just make your boundaries clear, such that you won't get intimate with anyone whom you don't understand well enough or isn't willing to be responsible for his actions. You don't have to know him inside out before deciding to be his girlfriend. Actually, if you think about it, wouldn't you get to understand him better after you two had become closer when you're in a relationship? To be honest, I think Long Tianze is a pretty good catch worth considering,” An Xiaoning said smilingly.
”I'll decide after seeing his behavior,” said Mei Yangyang as she looked at the missed calls on her mobile phone.
”Okay. Where are you headed to? Home or somewhere else?”
”I guess I'll go home.”
Long Tianze arrived at Mei Yangyang's doorstep soon after An Xiaoning had dropped her off.
After parking his car at the side, he proceeded to call her multiple times, yet she still refused to answer. He had gotten so anxious that he felt a sudden urge to climb over the wall and into her home.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, for his tight-fitted suit began to rip apart at the instant that he tried to climb over with all his might.
It left him dejected and forlorn.
However, he had fortunately managed to land in the backyard without causing too much of a commotion.
Mr. Mei was accompanying his wife in the bedroom, with the door closed shut. As soon as Long Tianze entered the house, he quickly proceeded to the other rooms upon hearing Mr. and Mrs. Mei's conversation.
