“It’s such a pity that he’s gay . ”

Pei Ge shook her head in amusement .
“Alright, let’s go!” She pulled her best friend toward the hotel where she was going to have her date with Wen Qimo .
Under the hostess’s amiable smile, the two friends took the elevator toward the restaurant he had made a reservation .
“Yo, that lad sure has good taste!” Tang Xiaoyu praised as she studied the four-person table beside the floor-to-ceiling window .
“If only that lad isn’t gay, whether it is his personality or his taste, he gives off a gentlemanly vibe . ”
“Pfft! Maybe, you won’t be saying that when you see him . ” She regarded her friend with amusement .
“Why?” Tang Xiaoyu looked at her with puzzlement, feeling curious about this unknown Mr . Wen Qimo .
“You’ll know why later!” She merely grinned . If she had to explain it now, she would be unable to do so clearly .
My clever friend should realize his personality when she meets him later!
“Tsk, so secretive . ” Tang Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow at her secretiveness and then scanned the restaurant for other vacant seats .
“I’ll sit over there . It’ll give me a wide view of what’s happening on your side later and be able to see what kind of person your ‘boyfriend’ is . ”

Tang Xiaoyu chose a seat that was three tables away .
“Mhm-kay . Be patient; this date should end really quickly . ” She nodded with a smile .
“You can sit there with me while waiting for your ‘boyfriend’!”
Saying this, she practically dragged Pei Ge toward her chosen table .
“Can I get you anything, dear customers?”
The waiter arrived shortly after they sat down .
Not wanting to make the waiter linger around them, Tang Xiaoyu quickly ordered two desserts and drinks .
“It’s almost 12 noon, but your boyfriend isn’t here yet . ”
Within ten minutes, Tang Xiaoyu was already losing her patience .
“Perhaps, there is a traffic jam . He should be here soon . ”
She had just finished speaking this when a man in silver suit walked over .

“He’s here!” She elatedly waved at him as she informed Tang Xiaoyu .
Tang Xiaoyu swiftly turned her gaze on to the man striding over .
“Ge Ge, did you wait long? The traffic is really heavy today,” he asked apologetically in a low but clear voice .
“It’s fine; we’ve just arrived ourselves . ” She easily waved off his apology .
“Is that so? That’s great to hear . ” He then shifted his eyes, which had narrowed into slits from smiling, on to Tang Xiaoyu, who had been checking him out ever since he walked over .
“Hello, I am Wen Qimo . I assume you are Ge Ge’s childhood friend whom she hasn’t met for a long time?” he asked with friendly smile .
“Hello, I am Tang Xiaoyu . ” She shook his hand and arched an eyebrow .
This man… his aura and looks are truly outstanding!
He is quite a match for my best friend . It’s just a pity he is gay . What a waste .
“Let me borrow Ge Ge for now; I’ll definitely return her to you in one piece later . ” He gave her a polite smile, seemingly sensing her measuring gaze .
“Okay . ” She nodded grudgingly .

“Xiaoyu, sit here for a while; I’ll be back soon . ”
After settling down at the table he had made a reservation for, she quickly regarded him with a quizzical look .
“Right . What exactly happened yesterday that made you ask me out on a date today? I sent you a message after, but you didn’t reply . Are you okay?” She held the warm cup and worriedly looked at him .
He shook his head and laughed . “I’m fine . Of course, as long as you help me, I will be fine . ”
“What happened, then? You are being so secretive about this . Could it be that your parents found out about you being gay?!” she voiced out her guess in a pitying tone as she regarded him with a pair of unblinking, doe eyes .
“… You are thinking too much,” his mouth twitched as he replied with exasperation .
“What’s wrong exactly, then?” She was adamant to get an answer from him . If nothing happened, then why would he rush her?
“Actually…” He hesitated as he stared straight into her bright eyes . He was about to tell her the truth but paused as something crossed his mind . This date is really important . It will be bad if she does anything out of order .
Thus, he resolved to tell her the truth only after the date was over today .
I! Am! Truly! Not! Gay!
“Mhm?” She looked at him questioningly .
“Actually, you guessed half of it correctly . Today’s date is indeed related to my parents,” he abruptly shared this information .
“Huh? Related to your parents? What?” She could not wrap her head around what he had just said .
“My parents will be here soon . ”
She was immediately stunned .
“Huh?! Your parents are on their way here?!”
“Yes,” he calmly affirmed, a stark contrast to her agitated reaction .
“This meal today is one where I meet your parents?!” Her mood immediately plunged . While she knew that this day would come sooner or later, the key point here was that she was totally unprepared for it!
“It’s not really a big deal . We’re just going to have a meal together . Don’t panic,” he reassured with an amused smile . Currently, she looked like a startled cat with all her fur standing .
“This is indeed not a big deal, but can you tell me in advance, so that I can at least prepare myself for it?!” She glared at him exasperatedly, her heart constricting .
She suddenly realized that her life was extremely pitiable and miserable .
The first marriage proposal she had received was fueled by a man’s desire to take revenge on his ex-girlfriend, and, this time, the first parent meet-up she would experience was because she was acting as a shield!
Sigh… Look at the life I have!
