Chapter 2019: A Good Way to Resolve Future Worries

~7 min read 1,329 words

Wei Yangyang did as she was told.

She opened the document bag and pulled out a stack of materials.

They were profiles of young men.

And this sense of déjà vu made Wei Yangyang's scalp tingle...

Wei Mama and Wei Baba exchanged a look, then Wei Mama said with a sigh: "Before, we hoped you would form a bond with Xingyan, but now it seems you truly do not like him, so we will no longer force a match."

Wei Yangyang really wanted to ask, how did Mom and Dad figure out that she didn't like Li Xingyan?

And also...

"Since you're not forcing a match anymore, why are you still giving me these materials!?"

"Because we are just not pushing you and Xingyan together anymore, but we didn't say you couldn't start something with someone else."

What is all this!

Wei Yangyang hurriedly put down the materials and said decisively: "I'm not choosing!"

Wei Mama was anxious and opened her mouth to speak.

But Wei Baba patted his wife's hand first, and then, he took over to discuss it with their daughter: "I know you want to prioritize your career, but career and love do not conflict."

"But... I already have someone I like!"

Wei Yangyang gathered her courage and spoke the secret in her heart.

Yet her secret made both Wei Mama and Wei Baba go quiet.

A moment later, Wei Mama let out a heavy sigh.

The mother's reaction made Wei Yangyang look over in confusion.

Then she heard her mother murmur with a pained heart: "You child, have you started making up lies to deceive us just to avoid a blind date?"

"No, I didn't..."

"If you're going to lie, at least pick a better excuse; do you think we'll believe anything you say?"

"I really didn't..."

"Oh, are you going to say in a moment that the person you like is Li Xingyan?!"

"What if..."

"There is no 'what if,' you are just fooling us!"

Wei Mama was angry.

She stared at Wei Yangyang with frustration and murmured: "Yangyang, we are the people who love you most, don't toy with our sincerity!"

At this moment, Wei Yangyang had nothing left to say.

Really, she had never been so speechless!

She was also puzzled, why was she suspected even when telling the truth!?

Since that was the case...

Then there was no need to continue!

Wei Yangyang closed her eyes.

Then she stood up and said expressionlessly: "I'm going back to the company."

"Then these blind dates..."

"I'm not going on a single one!"

Wei Yangyang left as soon as she finished speaking, her back radiating determination.

After their daughter left, Wei Baba and Wei Mama exchanged a look.

Wei Mama spoke first: "Husband, was I too fierce just now?"

"Hmm... it seems like you were a bit."

"Then should we take the initiative to smooth things over?"

"But if we change our attitude too quickly, Yangyang will be suspicious."

"Then..."

"The plan proceeds as usual; after it's over, we'll explain it to Yangyang, and Yangyang will be able to understand."

Wei Mama sighed softly and did not object.

According to the couple's plan, they would arrange a surprise blind date for Wei Yangyang.

In fact, this blind date was indeed arranged.

Wei Yangyang did not yet know that the so-called family dinner was a blind date banquet.

When she arrived at the restaurant and found only herself and a man sitting across from her at the table, she finally realized what was going on.

Instantly, Wei Yangyang was furious!

She wanted to flick her sleeves and leave.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly called out to her and said: "Looking at you, you don't want to be on a blind date either, and neither do I. How about this, let's just have a simple meal, and then we can both go back and report that we've done our duty."

"You were forced to come too?"

The man smiled bitterly: "Yes, I've gotten used to single life and don't want to date, but my family can't stand me being single."

It seemed he was a fellow sufferer.

Wei Yangyang sighed and sat back down.

The man said amiably: "Let's eat first; only after we're full will we have the energy to go back and argue with them."

"That makes sense, and since the money is already spent, it would be a waste not to eat."

As soon as Wei Yangyang finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Because she had no reservations, her movements while eating were very hearty.

The man looked at Wei Yangyang like this and chuckled softly.

The two of them did not speak, just eating their respective meals.

Looking at it this way, they really seemed like a pair of dining companions.

Just as Wei Yangyang found the food tasteless as chewing wax, her phone buzzed twice.

She glanced at it and discovered it was a message sent by Su Kexuan.

Recently, Su Kexuan would come to check on Wei Yangyang whenever she had nothing to do.

Incidentally, she would inquire about how far things had progressed between Wei Yangyang and Li Xingyan.

Usually, Wei Yangyang would chat briefly with Su Kexuan to prevent this woman from letting her imagination run wild.

But today, she only sent a crying emoji.

Very quickly, a new message came from Su Kexuan's side: "What's wrong?"

"Being arranged for a blind date."

"Oh my, you poor thing, big sister will help you in a moment."

"No need, I will find a way to extricate myself."

This was not the first time Wei Yangyang had been arranged for a blind date.

She still had some experience.

Moreover, the person in front of her was not a difficult guy to deal with.

It was estimated that they would go their separate ways after finishing the meal.

But Su Kexuan persisted: "Your methods aren't as effective as mine. Really, this method will definitely help you resolve your worries!"

Su Kexuan's words piqued Wei Yangyang's curiosity.

Her finger poked at the screen as she asked: "What exactly should I do?"

"Just wait, keep calm and don't be impatient!"

After sending this message, there was no more movement from Su Kexuan's side.

And Wei Yangyang stared at her phone, feeling a bit... uneasy.

The man opposite saw Wei Yangyang staring at her phone and spacing out, so he took the initiative to break the silence: "Is there some urgent matter?"

"Ah..."

"If you are busy, you can leave first."

Wei Yangyang certainly wanted to.

But Su Kexuan had arrangements on her end; if she left, would it cause Su Kexuan's plans to fall through?

Wei Yangyang hesitated for a moment and made a final decision: "I will leave in ten minutes."

These ten minutes were the leeway Wei Yangyang gave Su Kexuan.

She really did wait.

But if the meal ended, there was nothing she could do.

Now, it just depended on whether Su Kexuan could arrive in time.

Thinking this, Wei Yangyang relaxed, and her brows smoothed out again.

Seeing this, the man smiled and said: "Miss Wei's thoughts are truly written all over your face."

Wei Yangyang was stunned and asked: "My thoughts?"

"Yes, I reckon the matter you were struggling with in your heart just now has already been settled by you, hasn't it?"

Uh...

It really had.

Wei Yangyang felt a bit embarrassed and said: "You flatter me."

"Not at all, someone as frank as Miss Wei is rare. I just don't know why you need to wait ten minutes?"

"Because... I might be waiting for a friend."

Wei Yangyang also did not know what kind of move Su Kexuan was going to make.

But it was very likely a big move.

To avoid this big move startling her blind date, Wei Yangyang gave him a heads-up: "If any situation occurs in a moment, don't be too surprised; everything is to resolve the trouble."

"Oh."
