Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (2)
Chapter 2 Blind Date
As soon as the door was closed, most of the evil sweet smell dissipated. Zhou Shuo’s tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he realized that he was covered in hot sweat.
Then he frowned. He had the impression that Xia Liang rarely wore perfume. Only when attending very formal large-scale banquets, she would lightly spray some cologne. If you didn’t smell it carefully, you could hardly smell anything.
But today’s situation was very abnormal. He didn’t know if Xia Liang had changed the brand of perfume. The smell sprayed on his body was so strong that he almost couldn’t control himself in front of Xia Liang just now.
Is it carefully prepared for a date in the evening? When Zhou Shuo thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little sour in his heart.
He has been with Xia Liang for more than three years. Xia Liang is an out-and-out workaholic who values family ties, but when it comes to love, he has almost no desires or demands. Even the blind dates introduced by his elders , he can deal with it as an accessory to work without blinking an eye, and he can completely sacrifice his marriage for the benefit of the family.
For such a person, Zhou Shuo couldn’t figure out what kind of date it was that allowed Xia Liang to find time to dress herself up so carefully.
Zhou Shuo had a taste for food, but he didn’t dare to delay the task assigned to him by Xia Liang.
He looked at the time and saw that there was still more than an hour before he got off work, and the place where he agreed to meet with Sun’s daughter was half an hour’s drive away. Xia Liang asked him to come back before get off work, so time was a bit tight.
But in this case, Xia Liang’s request to “put forward your thoughts tactfully” may not be too tactful.
While Zhou Shuo was complaining in his mind about Xia Liang’s increasingly careless blind date routines, he couldn’t help but praise this carelessness.
Half an hour later, Zhou Shuo drove to a stylish coffee bar, and the daughter of the Sun family with bright makeup was already waiting impatiently.
Zhou Shuo walked up to her and bowed politely: “Excuse me, are you…”
you are late! “The Sun family’s daughter expressed her dissatisfaction unceremoniously, but when she saw Zhou Shuo’s appearance clearly, she was slightly startled: “Aren’t you Xia Liang? ”
She had seen Xia Liang’s photos before, and they bore no resemblance to the person in front of her.
Zhou Shuo smiled apologetically: “I’m sorry, our Mr. Xia has an impromptu meeting today, and he really can’t get away, so he has to ask me to attend the appointment on his behalf, and sincerely express his apology to you.”
The daughter of the Sun family looked Zhou Shuo up and down. Compared with Xia Liang, who was wearing a suit and having a rigid expression in the photo, the man in front of her was taller and more handsome, and his movements were more charming, making people fall in love with him at first sight.
People who have an advantage in appearance are generally more likely to win the favor and tolerance of others, and the daughter of the Sun family is no exception. She immediately calmed down her anger and said with a smile: “Sit down.”
Zhou Shuo thanked her politely and sat down opposite her.
”May I have your name?”
”My surname is Zhou, and my given name only has the character Shuo.”
”Are you from Xia Liang…?
”I’m his personal assistant.”
”Assistant…” Sun’s daughter couldn’t help but look at him with a scornful look, “? You look so talented, wouldn’t it be too unfair to be your assistant?”
”No grievance,” Zhou Shuo said humbly, “Mr. Xia has been kind to me.”
The daughter of the Sun family did not take his so-called “grace of knowing and encountering” lightly and said with a chuckle: “A good bird chooses a tree to roost, Assistant Zhou, do you want to consider…”
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Shuo had already returned to the subject: “? That’s it, I have to rush back before get off work, so I’ll get straight to the point. What our Mr. Xia means is that since both parties have reached the marriageable age, , we have seen each other’s photos and learned about our family backgrounds. We must be a good match in every sense of the word. Our Mr. Xia is very satisfied with you. If you are also interested in our Mr. Xia, why not choose a date to get engaged first? ?”
”Engagement?” The Sun family’s daughter was dumbfounded. She hadn’t even met yet, but the other party was already considering getting engaged? ”
”Yes, we, Mr. Xia, are very busy. We really don’t have much time to go through the whole process of first falling in love and then getting married. We are all young people in the new era. We must pay attention to efficiency in doing things. It doesn’t matter if we get married first and then fall in love. As long as Miss Sun, would you like to…”
The daughter of the Sun family was so angry that she immediately stood up and slapped the table, shouting loudly and without caring about her image: “? Fuck your sister, you have to marry first and love later. You have watched too many idol dramas? Who does he think he is? He is too busy to even talk about it.” Don’t care about love? Then why get married? Just find a sow to carry on the family line for him!”
When she said the last sentence, she still grabbed a cup of coffee from the table and threw it over. Fortunately, this was not the first time Zhou Shuo encountered this situation. He quickly ducked to the side without any water touching him.
The daughter of the Sun family didn’t have any upper hand, and she didn’t have a good impression of this handsome but ignorant young assistant. She immediately said “a dog raised by a fool”, picked up her handbag and left angrily.
Zhou Shuo watched the woman disappear outside the store, then lowered his head and looked at his watch. It took no more than ten minutes from meeting to breaking up, and he successfully completed the task.
