Chapter 396: Awkward

Wen Nuanxin paused, her fingers gripping the cup of lemon water, and she smiled in a slightly embarrassed manner and said, “This is my first time on a blind date.”

“Is that so? Well, it is not good to be so familiar with a man who you have met for the first time,” Wei Zhiqian said. “It is a good thing that I heard my grandmother praise you. If it was someone else, they might think that Ms. Wen was too easy.”

Wen Nuanxin: “……”

If it hadn’t been Wei Zhiqian sitting across the table, she would have splashed all the lemon water in her cup right into his face.

“It was my oversight…” Wen Nuanxin grumbled to herself, he is Wei Zhiqian, bear with it!

She still tried very hard to keep a sweet smile on her face and to show her charms.

“I only felt that it was a bit distant to call you Mr. Wei, and it sounds awkward,” Wen Nuanxin said, embarrassed. “What do you think is a suitable name to call you?”

“Mr. Wei is not bad,” Wei Zhiqian said without thinking.

Wen Nuanxin: “……”

“I have heard that Mr Wei is already the chief executive officer of Weifeng.” Wen Nuanxin’s expression was filled with admiration. “I had heard early on that Mr. Wei’s capability is outstanding. Although I did not hear about the specifics, I also know that after Mr. Wei entered the company, you steadily subdued everyone. Now you are occupying the position of the chief executive officer strongly, and there is no one who questions you.

“You are so young, but you already have accomplished such results. The words good-looking young talent seem insufficient in describing Mr. Wei. The words of praise from ancient times always seemed exaggerated, but here is a real example in front of my eyes.”

“Oh? Why don’t you tell me which words of praise from ancient times suit me?” Wei Zhiqian quickly asked.

Wen Nuanxin: “…”

Was this person for real?

Was he acting like this on purpose?

If he wanted her to tell him, how long should she take?

“A man of striking appearance, young and promising, of great talent and bold vision…” Wen Nuanxin only realized after she’d said these praises aloud, why was it so difficult to think of them?

It was already so difficult just to think of three.

“Do you want me to continue?” Wen Nuanxin asked.

“Yes, this is the first time someone used so many adjectives to praise me.” He was so vain, it was rare.

Wen Nuanxin: “……”

“I feel that there are not enough adjectives to describe you.” Wen Nuanxin found an excuse as she did not want to continue.

She also could not think of other words of praise.

However, she could not say that she was unable to think of more or else she would appear uncultured.

Wei Zhiqian also returned the favor and said, “I also heard my grandmother mention that you had already set up your own studio in your university days and established your own designer brand.”

“……” Wen Nuanxin’s mouth twitched, and she could hardly maintain her smile. “Mr. Wei must have remembered wrong. I am a psychologist.”

Wei Zhiqian: “……”

Was that so?

Then he must be mixed up.

The old madame had talked about so many women, anyway, he did not really even listen.

As Wen Nuanxin had worked hard to praise him, he’d wanted to return the favor and did not expect that he would remember wrong.

“My apologies, I indeed remembered wrong,” Wei Zhiqian said. “But you are still very outstanding.”

Wen Nuanxin deeply inhaled and exhaled.

Wei Zhiqian’s words did not seem to hold much sincerity.

Then, Wei Zhiqian saw the waiter leading the way for another customer.

He did not notice at first.

However, he had difficulties maintaining all his attention on Wen Nuanxin and could not help it when his attention drifted.

His sight was unable to focus on Wen Nuanxin’s face, and he noticed the new customer.

It was someone he knew.

What was the name of the upperclassman who had wanted to ask Tan Mo out that night at Beijing University?

Wei Zhiqian was totally not listening to what Wen Nuanxin was saying at this moment.

He saw from the corner of his eye that Wen Nuanxin’s mouth was moving and was saying something.

However, her voice did not enter his ears.

Right!

His surname was Cheng.

Wei Zhiqian remembered.

This fellow could mix up the occupation of his blind date, but he clearly remembered this male student when he had only met him once at night when it was difficult to see him clearly.

He was one of a kind.

He then saw the waiter bringing him to the table in front of him on the right.

In between them were two rows and columns of tables.

As Wei Zhiqian had spotted upperclassman Cheng when he entered, thus, even with a distance, when upperclassman Cheng sat down, he could still see him clearly.

However, upperclassman Cheng had yet to spot Wei Zhiqian and did not know that Wei Zhiqian was keeping his eye on him.

“Mr. Wei?” Wen Nuanxin called him a few times. “Mr. Wei?”

HMMM? “What is it?” Wen Nuanxin had finally managed to get Wei Zhiqian’s attention back.

Wen Nuanxin had wanted to chat with him and had randomly chosen a topic.

However, Wei Zhiqian’s mind was not present and totally did not hear her question.

She had lost interest in the subject now and instead asked, “What are you looking at?”

Wei Zhiqian did not answer her and asked instead, “Say, if there is a young male student, a research student at university, and he is waiting for someone here. What kind of person would he be waiting for?”

Wen Nuanxin thought moodily, Who is he waiting for? Won’t you know when the person arrives?

“Where is that person? Point him out to me and we can analyze the situation.” The person must be here.

Wen Nuanxin thought in her heart that Wei Zhiqian was not paying attention just now and had not even heard what she said.

Could it be because of the male student he mentioned?

Wen Nuanxin’s expression changed, and she looked at Wei Zhiqian’s face with a complex look in her eyes.

Could it be that Wei Zhiqian liked…men?

Which was why he had never dated before although he was already 27?

He was now on a blind date because of pressure from his family.

Thus, he had already gone on a few blind dates, but none had succeeded. Maybe it was because he was not interested in women at all.

Even if he went on blind dates, it was because of pressure, he had no choice, and did not have a good attitude.

Thus, no matter how many times he went on blind dates, they would not succeed.

Thus their blind date would also fail.

Wen Nuanxin was slightly consoled.

At least, Wei Zhiqian’s terrible performance was understandable. This is why he was so distracted in front of her.

It was not because she was not outstanding enough or that she was not charming and was not attractive.

It was because Wei Zhiqian did not even like women at all!

Even if there was a great beauty in front of Wei Zhiqian, it would also not work.

Perhaps the male student Wei Zhiqian mentioned was the person Wei Zhiqian was secretly admiring.

Was Wei Zhiqian jealous because he saw the male student on a date?

Or that the male student liked women?

Or that the male student also liked men, but he also faced pressure from his family and had no choice but to date girls and answer to his family?

In a moment, Wen Nuanxin had imagined a ton of things.

Which was why she wanted Wei Zhiqian to point him out to her.

She was interested to see what kind of male student Wei Zhiqian liked.
