Chapter 310: Meeting Him Again

~7 min read 1,256 words

Just as Cai Xiaotang finished speaking, she saw a young man in a suit walking slowly up the stairs, his temperament looking somewhat out of place with the surroundings.

"Hey, Baobao, do you think it's him?"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled on Jiang Baobao's arm in alert, quickly scanning him up and down before she couldn't help but comment: "He looks like a normal person... I just don't know what he's like when he talks..."

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she saw the young man stand at the top of the stairs, scan the room quickly, and finally let his gaze slowly settle on her.

"Hello, are you Miss Cai Xiaotang?"

The man walked over and asked with a polite smile.

Cai Xiaotang also nodded very decorously and pointed to the opposite seat, signaling for the other party to sit down and talk.

Jiang Baobao observed the interaction between the two without a sound, and couldn't help but nod inwardly.

This blind date partner seemed pretty good... Maybe Xiao Tang really stumbled upon the right person today, who knows...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, the next second she heard the man sitting opposite clear his throat, as if he had something to say.

"Sorry, although we are meeting today under the guise of a blind date, I already have a girlfriend."

The other party dropped a bombshell right from the start, leaving Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang stunned in their seats.

The man smiled apologetically and then continued: "I only came today because I had no choice. I hope Miss Cai understands. Miss Cai will surely meet the right person later, and besides... being able to choose to meet in a place like this, I can tell that Miss Cai must be a free-spirited person. If we were really together, our personalities wouldn't be a match."

The man spoke unhurriedly, saying almost everything Cai Xiaotang had prepared to say herself.

Cai Xiaotang blinked, listened to him for a long time, and finally snapped back to reality, asking subconsciously: "So... you just came here today to go through the motions?"

Hearing this, the man smiled apologetically and nodded lightly: "Although this is a bit impolite, that is indeed the case."

Cai Xiaotang let out a huge sigh of relief, her whole body relaxing, and she waved her hand casually.

"That's good, I was just here to get it over with too. Since we've laid it all out, there's no need to be so nervous. When we go back, we'll just tell our families that our personalities don't match."

"Many thanks." The man hadn't expected her attitude to be so cooperative; he relaxed quite a bit, stood up with a smile, and said politely: "Then I won't disturb you any further."

After saying this, he turned and left without hesitation.

Cai Xiaotang also raised her eyebrows, unhurriedly beckoned the waiter, and quickly flipped through the menu to order a few dishes.

Only Jiang Baobao was still a bit dazed, unable to come back to her senses for a moment.

"It's... over?"

Watching the man's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously.

Cai Xiaotang nodded immediately and asked back with some amusement: "Yeah, what else? Should we have two more drinks and become sworn siblings while we're at it?"

As she spoke, her eyes subconsciously swept toward the window, and then, seeing something, she instantly perked up, excitedly pulling on Jiang Baobao's arm as she said: "Look downstairs! He brought his girlfriend; no wonder he was in such a rush to leave..."

Jiang Baobao was startled by this and hurriedly looked downstairs as well.

She saw the man from earlier standing in front of a car, holding hands with a girl who looked gentle and quiet, and they were talking about something.

The two looked intimate and natural as they talked and turned to get into the car.

"Sigh... sure enough... the good men in this world already have girlfriends..."

Cai Xiaotang suddenly sighed out of the blue.

Jiang Baobao was taken aback, immediately gave her a sharp look, and teased her on purpose: "You, you don't want to go on blind dates, but now you say things like this. If you're envious, why don't I see if there are any suitable single men around me..."

"Stop! I was just saying!" As soon as Cai Xiaotang heard that Jiang Baobao wanted to introduce someone to her, she interrupted her, feeling a headache coming on.

She then explained with a grin: "I was just talking. After all, watching others fall in love doesn't cost me anything, but if I were to go fall in love myself, it would be too much trouble. If I'm lucky and find a good partner, maybe there'd be less trouble, but if I run into someone I can't shake off, that would be truly unlucky!"

Seeing her speak so eloquently, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

Xiao Tang had clearly never been in a relationship, so how did she act like she had seen through the vanity of the world!

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself in her heart, and then heard Cai Xiaotang say helplessly: "I hope this is the last time. If there's a next time, no matter what my brother says, I absolutely won't come!"

Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows noncommittally, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Cai Xiaotang's expression change abruptly, her eyes seemingly staring straight in the direction of the window.

A flash of confusion crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she hurriedly turned her head to look.

The next second, she saw a familiar figure walk out from across the street.

"Li Xiao?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"Why is he here?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the place where Li Beijue had just walked out from, and seeing it was a bar, she understood immediately.

So he came over to drink... It's not at all surprising to see him in a place like this...

Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it, but then she heard Cai Xiaotang say nervously: "Why is he here? Could it be that he knew I came here for a blind date and followed me?"

Cai Xiaotang's tone was full of worry, not at all like she was joking.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly explained with a laugh: "How is that possible? Even if Li Xiao is interested in you, he wouldn't do something like this, right?"

Cai Xiaotang waved her hand immediately: "That's because you haven't seen him! When he said we were a match made in heaven, his expression was so terrifying! Like a lunatic!"

As Cai Xiaotang was speaking, the next second, she suddenly saw Li Xiao look up and glance over in their direction!

"Damn!!!"

She exclaimed and immediately crouched down from her chair.

Jiang Baobao was startled by her, and upon realizing she was crouching on the floor, her expression turned into one of laughter and tears.

"Baobao! Why are you still sitting there! What if he sees you and comes straight over!"

Cai Xiaotang whispered to Jiang Baobao, signaling her to crouch down just like her, while her eyes glared at the direction of the window.

What rotten luck, to actually run into him!

If those people in the Mu Family found out that Li Xiao seemed interested in her, they might arrange for her to meet him again!
