Good Evening, Mr President!

Chapter 20

Blind Date (1)

.........

The next day.

Chi Yi was personally sent to school by Chi Zuxu and when her bestie spotted this, she became starry-eyed and infatuated with the man. For the entire day, the girl had been pestering her to be introduced to her uncle.

“One meal! Just one meal, please? My baby Chi Yi, my best—”

“… That’s enough!! I’m covered with goosebumps already!” She exaggeratingly shivered twice in response.

“So this is a yes then?!”

When did I say so?!

“We might as well have it tonight then!! Let’s have dinner later!! Quick, give your uncle a call and ask him out!” urged Su Yunhua relentlessly.

“…” Helpless about it, she could only force herself to give her uncle a call.

It took some time before the call finally connected.

“Third Uncle, it’s me…”

“Mm.”

Chi Zuxu responded, “You have something to tell me?”

“Yes!” She nodded.

At the side, Su Yunhua kept on mouthing to her, “Quick, say it. Quick, say it…”

“Well…” After thinking it over for a bit, she finally asked, “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”

“Hm?” He could not help feeling a little suspicious.

“Uh… Erm, I’m craving seafood…” She came up with an excuse on the spot.

“You can ask Aunty Lin to cook it for you.”

“… Nah! That’s quite a troublesome dish to prepare, we might as well head out to eat! I know of a place that serves up delicious curry crab. Go with me, won’t you?” She launched her cutesy act.

Silence reigned on the other end for quite some time.

After a while—

“Alright, I’ll fetch you after school.”

“You’ll be coming down personally, right?”

“Yes—”

“Alright!” Her eyes formed crescent smiles at this. “I’ll see you tonight! Bye-bye!”

“Bye.”

Her bestie immediately pounced on her the moment she ended the call. “You’re awesome, babe!! I’ll find some time to treat you to a big meal!!”

“No need. Tonight’s meal is on you!”

“… Okay, no problem!! If I really become your aunt, I’ll treat you to curry crab every day!”

“…”

Chi Yi felt depressed now!

She did not want to eat curry crab every day for this reason!

......

Dinnertime.

Chi Zuxu was quite surprised to find an extra person with his niece when he went over to pick the latter up. He made no comments about it, though. Instead, he gentlemanly invited Su Yunhua to climb into his car as well.

During mealtime, she did not forget to introduce herself to the man with much eagerness. “Uh… Mr. Chi, I’m Yiyi’s best friend. Do you still remember me?”

His lips hooked up slightly as he meaningfully replied, “Of course, I have a deep impression of you.”

Deep impression?

Chi Yi’s lips pouted. Somehow, she felt jealousy surging through her when she heard that.

She practically buried her face into her drink as she dully sucked on the straw hard, slurping up the beverage loudly without any intention of stopping despite her unrefined actions.

Su Yunhua, on the other hand, was hysterical with delight at the man’s words. Her mood had heightened considerably. “Let me introduce myself, Mr. Chi. My name is Su Yunhua, and I’m nineteen this year. So, I’m only younger than you by nine years!”

“Mm,” responded the man faintly with a smile. His meaningful gaze, however, was on his niece who sat beside him.

Chi Yi could distinctly feel the penetrating stare directly cast toward her, causing her brain to subconsciously shrink. She buried her face even deeper without saying a word.
