“Blind date?” Ji Ziming’s voice pitched a little higher . His eyes blazed with anger as he looked at Pei Ge .

White vest, long floral dress, and hair hanging loosely on her shoulders – such an appearance made her look like a gentle lady .
This woman only came to this coffee house for a blind date! It was no wonder her outfit tonight was different from the one in the day .
“Yes . Otherwise, why would I be here? I don’t even like drinking coffee,” she replied matter-of-factly .
“You…” He looked at her with a frown, as though he wanted to say something .
“Oh, I am such a person with no taste . ” Pei Ge shrugged and said with a smile .
“No . There are many who don’t like drinking coffee . ” Her self-deprecation made his forehead crease . He felt that her attitude toward him seemed different from before .
His words confused Pei Ge slightly and then she spit inside her, When did this Ji Ziming learn to speak human words?
“CEO Ji, I’m serious . I’m really here for a blind date tonight, and he will be arriving shortly . If you continue to sit here, my date might misunderstand . ” She blinked her eyes and then said this sincerely when the man remained in his seat opposite her .
“… Alright . I’ll leave after asking a question . ” He acquiesced after pondering on it for a while .
“What question?” She nodded and suspiciously asked .
“Are you coming to work tomorrow?” His eyes bore deep into hers when he asked this .
“Rest assured, CEO Ji; I will report to work on time tomorrow . ” Pei Ge showed a very professional smile .

That smile made Ji Ziming uncomfortable, however .
He looked deeply at her once more before standing and leaving his seat without another word .
Once he left, she no longer minded him . Instead, she lifted her wrist with a watch to look at the time .
It was 8:30 P . M .
Pei Ge lifted her head and looked around . Her forehead began to fold together slightly .
It was already past the appointed time, but her blind-date partner had yet to arrive! Being late for the first meeting was never a good sign .
This made her think of her blind date as someone unreliable .
“Hai!” She sighed and began to rant inwardly, My mouth and I . I only wanted mom to show off in front of her friends by mentioning the raise and promotion, but it led to an arranged blind date, instead .
Pei Ge felt depressed when she recalled how her mother returned with not just many bags of vegetables but also the details for tonight’s blind date .
The date – a doctor who had a bright future – was recommended by a neighbor . He apparently only had pockets of time at night as he needed to work in the day and could rarely take leave .
“Sorry, are you Miss Pei Ge?” Just as she was ruminating on the matter, a man in white shirt approached her .
“Yes, I am . ” She returned to her senses and looked at the man before her .

His short haircut made him appear very neat . His facial features were not that handsome, but his calm demeanor gave others the feeling comfort and security .
She gave this man high marks with this one look .
However, one could not simply judge a person’s character with one look .
“Hi, I am Chen Zhengchu . ” The man smiled and proffered his hand .
Pei Ge also extended hers and shook his hand . “Hello . ”
Feeling the cool softness of the man’s hand that lacked roughness, she could not help but eye his hands .
His long, white hands were like that of a pianist – extremely beautiful .
“Miss Pei, I’m very sorry . There was an emergency at the hospital, so I was late,” Chen Zhengchu apologized and explained very politely .
She did not doubt Chen Zhengchu’s words as she could smell the disinfectant on his body . Pei Ge smiled and shook her head . “It’s alright; I understand . ”
“Mr . Chen, please have a seat . ” She gestured with her hand .
The man smiled and sat opposite her .
“Miss, your milk . ” Seeing that Chen Zhengchu had just sat down, the waitress served Pei Ge’s milk first .

“Thank you . ” Pei Ge smiled .
“Sir, what would you like to order?” The waitress asked with a smile as she placed the milk down .
“A cup of latte, please,” Chen Zhengchu ordered .
“Alright . ” The waitress noted his order and left .
Looking at the still steaming hot milk, Pei Ge picked up the tweezers and put a few cubes of sugar into her cup .
“I heard that Miss Pei works at a real estate company?” Chen Zhengchu smilingly asked the woman who kept adding sugar into her milk .
“Yes . CEO’s assistant . ” She added more sugar into her milk in the process of answering his question .
Suddenly, Pei Ge, who had her head lowered, raised it and swept her eyes across the four corners of the shop, her face revealing confusion .
She could be wrong, but she felt someone’s stare .
“Eh, Miss Pei, did you put too much sugar?” This was not Chen Zhengchu’s first time having a blind date at this coffee house, but this was his first time meeting someone who would put a deathly amount of sugar in their ordered milk .
“It’s still alright, actually . Although you saw me put in many cubes of sugar, but one cube is just mildly sweet, and putting lesser in my milk won’t make it taste sweet . ” Pei Ge stopped her actions and softly said .
“I see . However, I would still advise Miss Pei to eat lesser sugar as it is not good for your teeth and body . ” Chen Zhengchu nodded with understanding and said seriously .
Her hands halted mid-action when she heard his words .
When she looked up and saw the sincerity in his eyes, she began to ponder . This man seems decent, mature, and stable . He also knows how to care for others . Why don’t… we try it out first?
Otherwise, she would be obligated to continue going on blind dates in the future .
“I wonder what Mr . Chen thinks of me?” With that thought in mind, Pei Ge asked this upfront .
“Eh, I think you’re alright . ” Chen Zhengchu looked at her in confusion .
“I think you are alright, too . Why don’t we give us a try?” She nodded and suggested this seriously .
Pak! Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a cup breaking echoed about .
However, Pei Ge did not register this and merely stared intently at Chen Zhengchu .
What she did not know was that, not far from her seat, a certain someone now had a terrible look on his face, the surroundings getting a few degrees colder as his aura turned dark .
This damn woman! How could she utter such words when she only met him for the first time?! Will she marry as long as the person is a man?!
