Fu Zhiyan's cold aura instantly dissipated as he rarely curved his lips, seemingly pleased by Han Xiaoye's words.
He already possessed an exquisite and handsome appearance, but his usual coldness, strong temperament, and overwhelming presence made people unconsciously overlook his sculpted features. At this moment, as the ice melted, he became extraordinarily handsome and the world surrounding him seemed to change its colors.
However, it only lasted a moment. In the next second, he regained his composure and the trace of a smile faded away. Avoiding eye contact, he returned to his cold expression and said, "Rest early, I'll take my leave."
"Go ahead, go ahead," Han Xiaoye wished he would leave immediately.
Fu Zhiyan took his unbelievably long strides, but halfway through, he stopped and turned back. "By the way, accompany me on an outing tomorrow at noon."
"Ah, where are we going?" Han Xiaoye asked.
The answer she received was the man's sturdy back...
"F*ck! He clearly heard but ignored me. What a jerk!" Han Xiaoye felt a bit frustrated and complained for a while. She lifted her injured foot and hopped upstairs.
She wanted to sleep! She hated cold-hearted icebergs like him the most!
She thought that it would be difficult for her to fall asleep after waking up in the middle of the night. As it turned out, not only did she fall asleep very quickly, but she also slept soundly. She slept until the sun was shining in the middle of the sky and struggled to get out of bed. After brushing her teeth and washing up, she went downstairs with messy hair on her head.
Han Xiaoye yawned, and Auntie Wang appeared out of nowhere. She was surprised to see Han Xiaoye's disheveled appearance and said, "Miss Xiaoye, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Young Master has been waiting for you for a while."
Han Xiaoye, still halfway through stretching her body, suddenly woke up from her drowsiness. She remembered what Fu Zhiyan had told her last night. He asked her to accompany him somewhere today at noon.
D*mn it, she completely forgot about it! This was bad!
Han Xiaoye dragged her left leg and limped back to her room. She was feeling guilty now. If she provoked Fu Zhiyan, then the consequences would be...
Han Xiaoye shivered. She opened her wardrobe, quickly chose a light blue dress from the row of clothes, and changed into it. Then she casually tied her hair into a ponytail with a hairband and hurried downstairs.
As expected, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw a man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was reading the newspaper.
The morning light shone on the man's perfect side profile, giving him a radiant glow. He had a smooth and full forehead, thick eyelashes, a straight nose, and...the beautifully shaped and sexy lips...
Fu Zhiyan suddenly turned around. When he saw her, thoughts flashed across his eyes. "I really shouldn't have overestimated your sense of aesthetics."
Crap.
Han Xiaoye heard the sound of the image of a handsome man shattering in her heart.
That was why she hated cold-hearted icebergs, especially the upgraded version with a venomous tongue.
Fu Zhiyan casually folded the newspaper and placed it on the table. He stood up and looked at her. "Let's go."
Han Xiaoye followed behind him curiously. "Mr. Fu, where are we going?"
"You'll find out when we get there."
"..." What place was it? It was so mysterious.
The Bentley sped all the way, and Han Xiaoye, sitting in the passenger seat, occasionally turned her head to steal glances at the man beside her.
Something was not right. Fu Zhiyan was actually driving himself? What was going on?
When the Bentley stopped at an expensive-looking restaurant, Han Xiaoye's curiosity reached its peak.
"Are we going to have lunch here?"
Fu Zhiyan didn't say anything and walked in first. Han Xiaoye had no choice but to follow.
"Welcome, ah, Mr. Fu..." The receptionist's eyes lit up. "Miss Gu has been waiting for Mr. Fu. Please follow me."
Miss Gu...Who was it?
Han Xiaoye's curiosity continued all the way to the private room. Then, she saw a person she never wanted to see again in her entire life. It was Gu Qingshen!
She rarely particularly hated someone, but Gu Qingshen and Yan Xu were exceptions! One was her former good friend, and the other was her ex-boyfriend. Just like in all the cheesy TV dramas, the two of them got together behind her back.
She used to think that the female protagonists in TV shows cried too fake when catching someone cheating. It was just a man. Why would they cry like that? But when it actually happened to her, she realized that the blow in that instant truly brought her to the brink of collapse.
Moreover, they officially got together right after the incident.
How could she forgive them?
"Han Xiaoye?" Gu Qingshen looked at the person who came in with disbelief. "How could you..."
Han Xiaoye quickly took a step forward, intimately grabbing the arm of the man next to her, and with a smirk, she interrupted her, "Long time no see, Gu Qingshen."
Gu Qingshen's expression was incredibly complex. Han Xiaoye in her memory used to be an introverted and quiet girl. When did she become so flamboyant and dazzling? She had been expelled from the Han family and abandoned by Yan Xu. Wasn't she supposed to become down and weak? She had even imagined that if they were to meet again someday on a street corner, she would show a victorious attitude and apologize for what happened in the past. But why did the person who should have been crushed under her feet appear with Fu Zhiyan?
Moreover, they appeared at the blind date event she had long anticipated and attached great importance to!
Gu Qingshen clenched her fists, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged. But the person beside her reacted quickly, kicked her under the table, and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Fu, you finally arrived. I was just talking to Shenshen about you. I heard that you recently made a big acquisition of CT Entertainment and are planning to enter the entertainment industry."
"Yes," Fu Zhiyan responded casually, his full attention focused on the girl who was holding his arm tightly.
He failed to decline the blind date today. So he decided to treat it as a symbolic meal.
Fu Zhiyan took his seat, and Han Xiaoye automatically sat down next to him. Gu Qingshen's face turned pale, but she had no choice but to sit across from Fu Zhiyan.
"Fu..."
Gu Qingshen had just opened her mouth when Han Xiaoye quickly pointed at a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings on the table. "I want to eat that."
Fu Zhiyan turned his head and looked at her.
Han Xiaoye forced a sweet and greasy smile, holding his hand and shaking it. "I'm hungry and want to eat shrimp dumplings, but it's so far. Can you help me pick it up?"
Ugh...
Even Han Xiaoye herself was disgusted by her own sickly sweet tone. But she had no choice. As long as she could make Gu Qingshen unhappy, she didn't mind feeling nauseous.
She realized that this meal was probably the so-called blind date. Seeing how the person who usually claimed to be an elegant beauty was dressed so flamboyantly, it was almost certain that she wanted to get close to Fu Zhiyan.
Fu Zhiyan brought her here, probably hoping that she would help fend off the admirers. Otherwise, why would a random woman show up at his blind date event for no reason?
This was such a great opportunity. If she didn't take advantage of it to deal with this b*tch, then she wouldn't be Han Xiaoye!
