Chapter 80 - Blind Date (2/2)
”I think my father didn't know about the Qin Family enough.”
When three small bowls of ramen noodles were served, Zi Hanying could no longer hold it and she immediately frowned. ”I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first!”
As she spoke, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
”Ah, Miss Zi, did you bring any change?” Suddenly, Qin Gengxin turned around and glanced at her.
Zi Hanying looked at him in shock, ”What? Change?”
”I didn't bring my money, and these three bowls of noodles seemed very expensive. Look--”
Zi Hanying's face immediately turned black. She quickly took out the pink note from her bag and stuffed it into the shocked waiter's hands. Then she ran out of the restaurant without looking back.
Seeing the woman leave angrily, Jiang Ruolan turned her gaze to Qin Gengxin, who was eating noodles, ”A blind date, huh?”
Qin Gengxin put down his chopsticks and casually wiped his mouth with a tissue as he glanced back at her with a smile that was not a smile. ”My parents forced me to get married as soon as possible. While I was in Boston, they tried to introduce young women from the famous clan, and after that travelling back to H City, they still tried to get me to go on a blind date. They have made an appointment with Old Zi, and wanted me to meet their daughter here today.”
”So you let me act out a play with you?” Jiang Ruolan's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
”How is it? This grandfather's acting isn't bad, is it?” Qin Gengxin laughed softly and whispered in her ear, ”The food in this restaurant is not good. If you want to eat anything, we can go to another restaurant.”
”Forget it. I'm not rich and I can't afford to hire you to accompany me!” Jiang Ruolan's face darkened.
Qin Gengxin immediately smiled brightly until his eyes sparkled. ”I will not charge you and I won't mistreat you. I will be a good partner for you.”
”Stop speaking nonsense.” Jiang Ruolan stood up speechlessly. ”If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Don't look for me with matters like this next time. Personal secretary? Who wants to be your personal assistant?! Why don't you just say I'm your f*ck buddies.”
”If you are willing, I can let you be my f*ck buddies.” Qin Gengxin grinned shamelessly.
”Shut up!” Jiang Ruolan pushed him away and glared at him.
Qin Gengxin smiled wickedly. ”Are you jealous?”
”Jealous your head! You clearly said that you would have dinner with your friends and have to bring a girlfriend? You pretended to be sad, so I had to accompany you here. In the end, you put on such a show! Qin Gengxin, I beg you, please don't be like this! Enough. Please don't force me to do something that I don't want to. I am no longer Jiang Ruolan from the past.”
Seeing her getting angry, Qin Gengxin only smiled faintly, but his smile was one of helplessness.
”Now I just want to forget all the memories from the last seven years, including yours!” Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and turned to leave.
”I just missed that one time, and you won't even give me a chance?” Qin Gengxin's voice was faint behind her.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him.
Qin Gengxin looked deeply at the alienation and doubt in her eyes. He shook his head, ”Forget it. I shouldn't have left that month. If I had, you wouldn't have left me.”
After saying that, he stood up, ”Let's go, I'll send you off.”
”What are you talking about?” Jiang Ruolan looked at his back as he walked out of the restaurant. She immediately followed him. She saw him walk towards the red Ferrari without looking back.
She slowed her pace and followed him until she was in his car.
Qin Gengxin was looking at her coldly. Jiang Ruolan swallowed her saliva and asked, ”Hey, what are you trying to say?”
”You women ...” He glanced at her and sighed softly, ”Are you even a woman? Do you really have a brain? Why are you so stupid?”
”You're the one who doesn't have a brain!”
Qin Gengxin no longer spoke. He remained silent as the car drove along the road.
It wasn't until they drove towards the station near Greenville Residence, they saw the police cars circling the Carlmore Bridge from a distance.
Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar black Land Rover parked at the end of the bridge. When she saw the familiar license plate number, she hastily called for Qin Gengxin to stop the car.
