Chapter 530 All He Wanted Was a Girlfriend Like Her
Qin Han could tell from Xiao Yunyun’s expression that it was impossible for him to start a relationship with her in a short period.
The fact was that Xiao Yunyun would never fall in love with him until he took steps to make her stop loving Shen Yuechuan, even though he was quite handsome and brilliant.
After thinking for a while, Qin Han sent a message to Shen Yuechuan.
After that, Qin Han looked up and saw Xiao Yunyun gulping her food.
“Well, she doesn’t like me.”
“Otherwise she wouldn’t gobble her food like that in front of the person she likes, would she?”
After a while, Xiao Yunyun felt no longer hungry and was prepared to explain to him. “Qin Han, how about telling our moms that we want to start off as friends?”
Qin Han said with an innocent smile, “But my mom asked me to woo you.”
Xiao Yunyun was sure that Qin Han was making fun of her on purpose because she thought that a person like him would never love her.
She put her palms together with sincerity and shook them in front of Qin Han, “Young Master Qin, Master Qin, I beg you. Stop teasing me!”
She frowned with anxiety, looking rather pathetic.
Qin Han’s heart melted for no reason when he saw Xiao Yunyun like that.
He sighed. “My mother isn’t that easy to fool.”
“Whatever, it’s your business!” Xiao Yunyun sounded like a wayward child. “Anyway, my mother is easy to fool!”
Qin Han tutted and shook his head. “Miss Xiao, you can’t say that. You said we should fool our mothers, so I’m your ally. But you hurt my feelings. Don’t you want to join hands with me?”
Xiao Yunyun thought that Qin Han’s words did make sense. She nodded and said, “How about this? We’ll say that we’re very interested in each other, but we didn’t fall in love with each other, so we plan to get to know each other before we start a relationship!”
Qin Han looked at Xiao Yunyun with a teasing smile. “But I fell in love with you when I met you for the second time.”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Xiao Yunyun very nearly hit Qin Han with the teacup. “I mean it!”
Qin Han sighed again as his shoulders dropped. “Well then, that’s a deal. But I have to meet you from time to time in case our moms see through us. Maybe you’ll fall in love with me in the future.”
Young Master Qin’s inborn narcissism was completely in harmony with the world.
Xiao Yunyun stood up and left without looking back after finishing the steamed scallops with vermicelli made from bean starch in her bowl.
Young Master Qin’s narcissism had nothing to do with her.
Qin Han gazed at Xiao Yunyun’s back, lost in his thoughts.
He found it ironic that he had fallen for Xiao Yunyun.
He was able to annoy the one who had won Xiao Yunyun’s heart, although he didn’t win her heart.
Qin Han couldn’t help imagining the face Shen Yuechuan would make after reading his text message.
While Shen Yuechuan was at his company having lunch with several senior executives in a private room of the cafeteria and discussing a new project, he picked up his cellphone to check it out as soon as he heard the incoming message sound, thinking that it had something to do with work.
—The text message went like this: Xiao Yunyun’s mother and my mother are friends. They hope that I can fall in love with Xiao Yunyun. She’s having a blind date with me, and we’re having lunch together. I’ll tell my mother and Auntie Su that I have a good impression of Xiao Yunyun. They’ll encourage me to pursue her.
—Special Assistant Shen, I want a fair competition with you.
Shen Yuechuan slapped his cellphone down on the table at the end of the text message.
The senior executives of the company that were having lunch at the same table looked over and saw a serious look on Shen Yuechuan’s handsome face.
The CFO asked, “Yuechuan, what’s wrong?”
“Yeah, we haven’t seen your serious face for a long time.” The deputy manager asked, “Could it be that you were dumped by some girl?”
“…” Shen Yuechuan didn’t want to answer. At that moment, he felt as if he had indeed been dumped by Xiao Yunyun.
“What a wicked girl! She told me that she wouldn’t help me change my dressing tonight. How come she has time to have a blind date with Qin Han during the day?”
“By the way, didn’t she know Qin Han already? What’s the blind date about?”
The more Shen Yuechuan thought about it, the angrier he felt. He picked up his cellphone and walked to the balcony outside the cafeteria. The deputy manager followed him out of curiosity, to see what was going on.
However, Shen Yuechuan had always been too proud to let others see how embarrassed he was. He closed the door with his feet to block the deputy manager in the private room, and then he called Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun was waiting for a taxi when her cellphone rang.
Her heart raced as she looked at the caller ID.
“Why is Shen Yuechuan calling me? What’s going on with him?” she thought.
To hold back her nervousness and excitement, Xiao Yunyun didn’t answer the call until she got in the taxi. “Shen Yuechuan?”
“It’s me.” Shen Yuechuan jealously asked, “Where are you?”
Xiao Yunyun felt that Shen Yuechuan’s voice sounded strange, but she didn’t think too much. She looked at the scenery outside the window that was left behind by the taxi. “I went out at noon. I’m on the way back home.”
Shen Yuechuan and Lu Boyan shared one thing in common: they could stay calm under all circumstances.
For example, he could tell from Xiao Yunyun’s tone that she was low-spirited, although he was jealous at that moment. He thought that she hadn’t spent much time on the blind date with Qin Han since it was just past noon.
Shen Yuechuan asked with a gentler tone, “Why are you going back so early?”
Xiao Yunyun thought it was strange for Shen Yuechuan to ask like that. “Do you know that I’m outside, or… do you know that I had a blind date with Qin Han?”
“I know both.” Shen Yuechuan asked, “How did it feel? Is Qin Han still your cup of tea?”
Xiao Yunyun had once told Shen Yuechuan that Qin Han was her type when she was angry.
The truth was the complete opposite.
However, Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to tell him the truth to embarrass herself. She thought for a while and said, “I don’t like blind dates! I’m not full at all. I’m still hungry.”
Shen Yuechuan asked with a smile, “Where are you going now?”
Xiao Yunyun looked at the street sign as the taxi stopped at the traffic lights. “I’m at the intersection of Macao Road and Huachang Road.”
“Ask the driver to pull over. Wait for me there.” With that, Shen Yuechuan hung up.
Xiao Yunyun opened her mouth as if to ask one more question.
However, she paid the driver and got off to wait for Shen Yuechuan at the curb.
She was willing to wait for him as long as he went to her, no matter why Shen Yuechuan did that or what he wanted to do.
That was what she thought.
While Shen Yuechuan, who was 10 kilometers away from her, left the company and drove straight toward Macao Road as quickly as he could.
He drove at top speed. He saw Xiao Yunyun standing by the roadside when he was about to reach the intersection.
Xiao Yunyun was in her usual white T-shirt, a pair of vintage jeans and a pair of white leisure shoes with a white leather backpack over her shoulder, looking as placid as most of the ordinary girls in the city.
Shen Yuechuan came up with an idea as he slowed down.
He realized that there was no ideal lover. The one a man fell in love with had never turned out to be his dream girl.
For example, Xiao Yunyun wasn’t the sort of person he liked.
However, Xiao Yunyun was the one he had fallen in love with.
Xiao Yunyun had been standing under a tree for over 10 minutes, and her forehead kept sweating because of the midday sun.
A white car stopped in front of her when she was wondering when Shen Yuechuan would arrive. He noticed the sweat on Xiao Yunyun’s forehead as soon as he got off the driver’s seat. He looked at Xiao Yunyun in surprise. “Why aren’t you waiting for me at a cooler place?”
“…”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t know what to say for a moment.
She waited for him there because Shen Yuechuan had asked her to do that. She thought that he wouldn’t find her if she were at a cooler place.
She also thought that it would be embarrassing to tell him the truth.
Xiao Yunyun racked her brains and finally came up with a perfect excuse, “I don’t feel like walking!”
Shen Yuechuan believed what she said. He opened the passenger’s door helplessly and said, “Get in the car.”
It was cool inside. Xiao Yunyun let out a long sigh of relief as soon as she got in the car. “Where are we going?” she asked while fastening the seat belt.
Shen Yuechuan started the car and drove on. “You said you were hungry, didn’t you? I’ll take you to lunch.”
Xiao Yunyun hadn’t expected that Shen Yuechuan would keep her complaint in mind. She turned her head in surprise and said, “I thought you wanted to talk to me about something very important.”
It meant a lot to Shen Yuechuan whether Xiao Yunyun was hungry or not.
However, he thought it could be either that Xiao Yunyun would be scared or that she wouldn’t believe his words if he told her how he felt.
Shen Yuechuan simply said, “You bought me breakfast. So I’ll treat you to lunch. What do you think? What do you want to eat?”
“So you just don’t want to owe me a favor, do you?” Xiao Yunyun asked while holding back her disappointment.
Shen Yuechuan snorted as he glanced at Xiao Yunyun. “You owe me a lot of favors since we met. I just don’t want you to die of hunger. In that case, no one will help me change my dressing. That would be too bad.”
“…” Xiao Yunyun was struck dumb as if her heart had stopped beating.
In the end, Xiao Yunyun came up with a good idea—she decided to play a trick on him.
She mentioned a Michelin five-star restaurant and said, “I want to eat steak there!”
Shen Yuechuan was a frequent visitor to the restaurant. He immediately called there to make a reservation and order the dishes.
He had never been stumped by a matter like that.
It would be a huge mistake if Xiao Yunyun wanted to make things difficult for him in terms of money.
He lacked for nothing, especially money.
What did he want?
All he wanted was a girlfriend like Xiao Yunyun.
