Winter in the capital was dry, cold, and miserable. After dark, the strong gusts of wind swept up sand and dust, seemingly swallowing something silently.
Fu Sinian left Yunjin Prime Manor and went straight to the old residence for no other reason than to continue the blind dates.
Old Madam Fu was in a bad mood today and had arranged four blind dates for him in one go. She had even said directly that he wasn't allowed to stand the other parties up.
Fu Sinian didn't like blind dates, but he was getting on in years. With his family urging him, he would go through the formalities to reassure the elders. Otherwise, he wouldn't get half a day of peace at all.
When he returned to his condo, he didn't go upstairs directly. He leaned against the car for a while before opening the car door to get a pack of cigarettes. He pulled one out, held it in his hand, touched his pocket twice, and brought the lighter to his mouth.
