One meal was enough for the two of them to get familiar with each other. Unlike what Wen Shuyue imagined before, Gong Yang turned out to be a man with a funny soul and a flawless face, rather than a man of arrogance.
So far, she couldn’t think of which woman was in his league all over the world. Being such an impeccable man, no wonder he was a heartthrob for many women.
“This is a delightful meal. It’s been long since I met someone with whom I shared many common topics. Thank you,” Wen Shuyue said with a smile. After the meal, she felt it more relaxed to talk to Gong Yang.
Gong Yang, wearing a tricky smile, was looking over Wen Shuyue with his bright eyes as he tapped on the table with his jade-like fingers.
Embarrassed by the stare, Wen Shuyue couldn’t help asking, “What? Anything stains my face?”
When she was about to wipe the corners of her mouth, Gong Yang smiled proudly.
“Don’t be discreet in front of me. I’m just admiring you. You have a pretty face. Nothing stains it,” Gong Yang replied with a smile. He talked as if he was flirting with Wen Shuyue.
Wen Shuyue blushed unconsciously. Gong Yang was a nice person though, some of his words were awkward to answer. He seemed to keep making the environment lustful.
However, it could never happen between them now that Gong Yang was a friend of He Siming, which stopped Wen Shuyue from thinking about it.
Wen Shuyue swallowed and then said with embarrassment, “Thanks, Mr. Gong. Actually, I was pulled out of the company when I was working, so I…”
“Seems I’ve heard of this excuse before. Do you often use work as an excuse?” Gong Yang looked at her with almost a mockery.
Oops. Wen Shuyue was caught in the lie.
It somewhat embarrassed Wen Shuyue, but she didn’t know what else to say except for the lie. She couldn’t just tell Gong Yang that she wanted to end the conversation.
Sometimes, men couldn’t resist women when women reacted unconsciously. Gong Yang had never shifted the gaze from Wen Shuyue.
The atmosphere turned lustful. Wen Baobao was happy about this blind date while Lin Lin was on the contrary, staring at them miserably and speechlessly.
Lin Lin was the one who arranged the blind date. Apart from her, no one should be blamed for this.
“Allow me to give you a ride,” Gong Yang offered to send Wen Shuyue back home after the meal.
“No, thanks. I’ll join them. We have something else to do,” Wen Shuyue blurted out her rejection. Before Gong Yang responded, she grabbed her bag and left with Lin Lin and Baobao.
Watching the receding back of Wen Shuyue, Gong Yang said with a tricky smile, “Intriguing.”
Soon after they left, Lin Lin couldn’t help complaining. She attempted to speak out every bit of her grievance.
“What a bummer! I didn’t arrange to set you up with Gong Yang. How come he was on the blind date? What happened exactly? I’ve got to figure it out.”
Wen Shuyue made no response.
“Oh, it sucks. When I liked He Siming before, I found him related to you. When I like Gong Yang now, he seems to have a crush on you. Yueyue, did God just send you to torture me? Why do the men I like always have a crush on you?”
This time, Wen Shuyue didn’t mean to ignore her but was rendered speechless.
“Jeez, it feels like disappointment in love. It never occurs to me that my love life will be so tough. How pathetic I am!” Lin Lin pulled a long, long face. What had happened lately perplexed her a lot.
Wen Baobao who wore earphones focused himself on the screen while Wen Shuyue evaded Lin Lin’s words since Wen Shuyue could say nothing to comfort Lin Lin.
After all, all these had got nothing to do with Wen Shuyue. Lin Lin was the one who arranged the blind date. That Gong Yang showed up in the blind date was also against their expectation.
Ignored by Wen Shuyue and her son, Lin Lin got angrier. Lin Lin pulled Wen Shuyue by the arm and said seriously, “Yueyue, be frank with me. He Siming and Gong Yang, which one do you like?”
“I…”
The question beat Wen Shuyue. Beyond all doubt, He Siming was the one who Wen Shuyue fell for while Gong Yang was just a friend.
But He Siming often played cat and mouse with her so that she was confused about how He Siming felt for her.
“Godmother, don’t be silly. Isn’t it obvious that my mummy likes my daddy? They’re a perfect match,” Wen Baobao said before Wen Shuyue did.
Wen Shuyue blushed when her son spoke out what was in her mind. Saying nothing, Wen Shuyue acquiesced her son’s words with her lips compressed.
Lin Lin took a deep breath and said in a happier tone, “Great then. In that case, I can chase Gong Yang openly.”
“Godmother, good luck. Although he likes my mummy now, I’m sure you guys will be together,” Wen Baobao said happily to cheer Lin Lin up, not forgetting to compliment his mother.
Lin Lin rolled her eyes, but didn’t take his words seriously. Then she went out to have big meals with them.
In the meantime, Gong Yang went to He Siming’s house, which startled He Siming since Gong Yang had never been to his house though they were good friends.
“What brings you here? Oh, what do you want me to do again?” He Siming knew that Gong Yang must have come with a purpose since He Siming knew Gong Yang so well.
Such being the case, Gong Yang didn’t beat around the bush and came clean blandly, “I hope you can leave this cooperation chance to me. I think MK is a company with a promising future. If we can cooperate with them, it will give a boost to our company. So…”
“Oh? I didn’t know you would fancy this small company,” He Siming said with his eyebrows raised, having a rough idea of Gong Yang’s intention.
Gong Yang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, “Compared with our company, MK is a small one, but it has great commercial values.”
