"Auntie!" Gu Qingshen was so angry that her nose almost went crooked.
Han Xiaoye turned around and glanced at her. "Don't tell me you're calling me uncle 'Uncle'?"
Of course, Gu Qingshen couldn't possibly call Fu Zhiyan Uncle. But being called Auntie when she was only three years older than Han Xiaoye was...
She glanced at the handsome man sitting across from her and held back her frustration. "Haha, Xiaoye, you're still as humorous as ever."
"I am quite humorous. But Auntie Gu, don't laugh too hard. Look, your laughter lines are smudging your foundation." Han Xiaoye struck another blow!
"Xiaoye, have I offended you in any way? Why do you dislike me so much?" Gu Qingshen's eyes reddened instantly, looking at her with a great grievance.
Wow!
What acting skills! Han Xiaoye felt like applauding. Such a delicate lotus flower swaying in the cold wind. If this cold wind wasn't blowing fiercely enough, it would be a disservice to her Oscar-worthy acting skills.
Han Xiaoye subtly blocked her view of Fu Zhiyan and innocently exclaimed, "Auntie Gu, what are you talking about? You just climbed into my ex-boyfriend's bed right in front of me, your good friend. How could I dislike you?"
Ex-boyfriend?
Fu Zhiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashing deep within his gaze.
The cafe was extremely silent. Her exclamation had the effect of a thunderclap. Not to mention the other people in the cafe, even the waiters couldn't help but look over.
"You..." Gu Qingshen almost fainted on the spot. Unable to maintain her pitiful appearance any longer, she mustered the strength to say to the man who hadn't stopped her, "Young Master Fu, since Xiaoye is here, let's make plans another day."
She actually wanted to make plans again? How presumptuous!
Han Xiaoye was about to refuse.
Unexpectedly...
"Alright."
"Then, Young Master Fu, I'll contact you later." Gu Qingshen provocatively waved her phone in front of Han Xiaoye.
Han Xiaoye gritted her teeth in anger, then suddenly pounced on the man's leg, covering his thin lips with her hand. She lifted her chin arrogantly, asserting her dominance. "Sorry, Auntie Gu, he promised to accompany me shopping and watching movies. He probably won't have time to contact you. Besides, my uncle doesn't like flowers, especially... the ones grown in other people's gardens."
"You... You've gone too far!"
Gu Qingshen's face turned pale, and her hand trembled with anger.
The elegant man finally showed a reaction. He pulled away the girl's hand covering his lips, his noble phoenix-like eyes sweeping over her. He spoke in a calm tone, "Miss Gu, let's reschedule for another day."
He actually protected Han Xiaoye like that, not even reproaching her!
Gu Qingshen's face turned from pale to livid!
She had initiated this meeting with Fu Zhiyan under the pretense of discussing collaboration between their two companies. But Fu Zhiyan's behavior now was a direct insult to her.
She clenched her teeth and turned to leave.
Just as she reached the door, she heard the girl behind her call out crisply, "Auntie Gu, don't forget to pay the bill!"
Gu Qingshen staggered and almost fell.
However, the waiter at the door was looking at her, so she had no choice but to take out a wad of money from her wallet. She didn't care how much it was and threw it directly into the waiter's hands. "Keep the change."
However, before she could walk out, the waiter stopped her with a troubled expression.
"That... Miss Gu..."
"Is there anything else?"
Gu Qingshen was filled with anger, and the suppressed flames were about to erupt. Now, being stopped like this, her anger was about to burst.
The waiter was startled by her fierce gaze but still plucked up the courage to hand over the receipt. "Miss Gu, your total bill is 3456 yuan. You just paid 3100 yuan, so there's still a remaining balance of 356 yuan. Take a look at this..."
"Hahahaha..."
Han Xiaoye couldn't help but burst into laughter!
...
After Gu Qingshen slammed the door with a livid face, she was still holding her belly and laughing happily. She did not realize that she was still sitting on the man's lap.
"Oh my, I'm laughing so hard that tears are streaming down my face. It's the first time I've seen someone's face change into seven different colors. Haha, if only I had a camera, these photos would be legendary."
Legendary photos indeed, this girl's mouth was really venomous.
"Are you done?"
Fu Zhiyan reached out and held her waist so that she wouldn't fall from laughing. His eyes were colder than ice and snow, and there was no smile at all.
"It seems that last night's lesson wasn't enough. Tell me, what's going on today?"
The person who had been laughing and goofing around suddenly wiped the smile off her face. Her eyes, sharp in black and white, darted around before she raised her head, feigning innocence. "What's all the fuss about? I just happened to spot you and thought I'd come over to say hi, that's all."
Fu Zhiyan stared at her with his sharp and piercing gaze, as if trying to see through her soul. Han Xiaoye, completely fearless and undeterred, blinked playfully. "Fu Zhiyan, do you think my eyes are exceptionally beautiful?"
She flicked her own eyelashes with her fingers and took the opportunity to taunt Gu Qingshen, "See that? This is the real deal, something that can't be faked. Unlike Auntie Gu earlier, her eyelashes were obviously fake. Just think about it, if even her eyelashes are fake, how many other things about her are real? What if things get intense and you give her a little push, and her chest explodes? Haha, by then you wouldn't be able to 'stand up' for the rest of your life!"
She patted the man's shoulder and spoke with a serious tone, "Mr. Fu, it's better for a man to be upright."
"Are you sure you want to sit on my lap and discuss whether a man is upright or not?" Fu Zhiyan held her chin, his scorching breath caressing her face, his midnight-like eyes profound.
Han Xiaoye suddenly realized that she was still sitting on someone's lap. Her ears flushed with heat, and she quickly jumped down like a monkey. "Ahem, it's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."
Coincidentally, the waiter arrived with a variety of pastries, setting them on the table in an array. Bowing respectfully to the two of them, the waiter said, "Sir, madam, your order is here."
Fu Zhiyan glanced at the waiter coldly, and the waiter immediately left.
"Eat."
Eat? Wasn't it a takeaway? So much, he couldn't possibly mean...
Han Xiaoye's lips twitched, and she pointed at the table full of pastries. "Are you expecting me to finish all of these?"
"Yes."
Fu Zhiyan nodded with his perfect jaw as if it were only natural and added a sentence.
"We'll leave once you finish eating."
F*ck!
This man was definitely doing it on purpose!
Just because she ruined a blind date, did he have to treat her like this? Or was he intentionally doing this to avenge Gu Qingshen?
Thinking of this possibility, Han Xiaoye's anger surged. "Fine, I'll eat!"
She picked up the pastry closest to her and started eating. The food here was expensive but not particularly tasty. The mousse was too rich, and the cheese was overly sweet. But she had upset emotions in her heart and didn't care about the taste. She swallowed it in big mouthfuls. As she continued eating, her entire tongue became numb from the sweetness, so she simply took a bite and swallowed it directly.
