"Mumu, is it really okay for us to sneak around like this?"

Across from the hotpot restaurant, at a small stall, two small figures were peering inside eagerly.

"If it's not okay, why did you come?"

"I'm...I'm just curious, okay?"

"If you're just here to spectate, then shut up and watch carefully. Learn well. With skills like this, even if I became a paparazzi, I'd be the best one out there. Hey, hey, hey, why is that woman being so forward, leaning towards little Su? Damn, she's such a green tea bitch!"

"Come on... she's just being a little enthusiastic."

"You're so naive, Miaomiao, you don't get it. This woman is definitely trouble; I can tell she's a green tea bitch just by looking at her."

As they nibbled on snacks at the stall, they critiqued the pair in the hotpot restaurant with faces full of excitement.

This world is never short of bored people. Most of the other girls in the department just talk without taking it seriously, but there are always a few onlookers like these two, who are desperately bored.

After Su Qing left, the two of them took a taxi to follow, like a pair of weirdos, finally stopping here.

Meanwhile, inside the hotpot restaurant, Su Qing was trying hard to lean away.

Initially, the two sat across from each other, but over time, the woman moved closer. Although Su Qing wasn't a saint, he wasn't someone who would just pounce on a woman at the first sight.

If you eat anything without discrimination, you're a pig. No wait, even pigs are picky, so why wouldn't he be?

He didn't know if the woman was a green tea bitch or not, but he did know his mom had quite the skills. In just a week's time, how did she manage to chat with this girl to the point where it feels like they're in a passionate relationship?

"Honey, is it true that we can get married by the end of this year?" Cheng Xiaoxue leaned in with anticipation, her eyes full of hope.

In response, Su Qing could only raise his hands to protect his chest and gently push her away, smiling bitterly inside. What promises has his mom made to her family? How did it turn into an end-of-year wedding?

"Miss Cheng, I think..."

"Why so formal? Just call me wife. Although we haven't registered yet, I think you're way better than those my mom introduced to me. As expected, true love is the best. Over this week, I've become increasingly sure that you're the one I've been looking for."

Su Qing: ...

Speechless as he was, he couldn't help but acknowledge his mom's incredible online dating skills. Is this the legendary notion that only women truly understand women?

If that's the case, he really wanted his mom to start an online dating training class. With techniques like these, making money would be a breeze given the vast number of online singles. If this took off, going public in three years and having assets worth hundreds of millions wouldn't be a dream. Then, he wouldn't have to work hard anymore; wouldn't it be nice to just be a second-generation rich kid?

Sponging off someone else isn't as logical and comfortable as living off your parents, right?

"Dear... uh, Miss Cheng, calm down, calm down! You need to control yourself! Everything online is deceptive. In fact, I have many flaws, and online stuff can't be mixed with reality."

Although he wanted to tell her it was his mom having the online relationship, he didn't dare. First, he was afraid she couldn't handle the shock. Second, he feared his mom would beat him up if she found out.

Of course, from their conversation, he learned she's just a woman unwilling to accept blind dates but eager to get married, with a rather decent personality. Her forwardness was due to his mom chatting too comfortably and privately with her, leading her to one-sidedly believe their relationship was very intimate.

But he's the one with a guilty conscience here; he couldn't possibly tell her she was 'honey-trapped' by a mother-son duo!

"I understand. Everyone has two sides. Online they're bold, and in reality, they're shy. When I first met you, I realized you were very bold while talking to me online!" Cheng Xiaoxue shyly glanced at him.

Seeing that look, Su Qing's heart skipped a beat: "Re-really? How was I bold?"

"You're asking? On our first day chatting, everything was fine, but by the second day, you wanted to see my legs. Then, just the day before yesterday, well... you saw, what more do you want?"

Su Qing: Σ(゜ロ゜;)

I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything at all! Mom, you might as well share the photos with your son. Keeping it all to yourself, what kind of skill is that!

Right now, he really wanted to take out his phone and ask his mom for the photos. He's the one going through the trouble; he should at least see something in return, right, even if it's just a glance!

Looking at legs, really? Come on, we're family; do you have to be so secretive?

Seeing him spacing out, Cheng Xiaoxue continued, "It's July now; let's meet the parents next month and get engaged, then marry on October 1st, how about that?"

"By this time next year, we should have a child. Do you prefer a boy or a girl? I prefer a boy; if it's a boy, we'll name him Su Nanqiao, and if it's a girl, we'll call her Su Beimu. 'South is wood, and in the north lives a beauty.' What do you think?"

"I... I think you have quite the literary talent, hahaha!"

What is all this? Is this the normal procedure for meeting someone from the internet?

During the day, he thought his mom was just arranging an online date with a girl. Under normal circumstances, even if the online relationship was confirmed, the first meeting would involve some pleasantries and small talk, then he could find a reason to say it wasn't quite right. Wouldn't that suffice?

But why has this meeting with someone from the internet gone so awry?

Is it the girl's problem, or is it his mom's?

Based on current clues, it's probably more his mom's issue. Maybe the old lady is eager to become a mother-in-law, so she got straight to the point. But being straightforward is one thing; why check out her legs?

He knows how to judge a woman's childbearing potential by looking at her hips, but wait, did his mom also assess him this way? If that's the case... can I borrow your phone for a moment?

"That's right, so tonight... you got lucky," Cheng Xiaoxue coyly bumped him with her shoulder.

Su Qing: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

Honestly speaking, he has already figured it out. In this situation, without some external help, relying solely on himself would only lead to a deadlock, which he definitely doesn't want. He needs a wingman, the kind like Zhang Dapao, Snake, and Lv Xiaobu.

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A B A, someone, anyone, give me a wingman to save my life, I'm begging you.

Perhaps the heavens heard his call and took pity on him, because the next second, a turnaround appeared.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm here!"

A little girl with a bun hairstyle wearing a cute little dress ran towards them with both hands outstretched, then placed her hands on the edge of the table and looked expectantly at Cheng Xiaoxue:

"Auntie, could you step aside, my daddy is in there."

Su Qing: ...

Cheng Xiaoxue: ???

"You... you have a child? You're married?"

Watching this scene, Cheng Xiaoxue's brain immediately short-circuited. The guy she had been in an online relationship with for a week, who she'd just successfully met in person, turned out to be married?

The sudden blow made her voice rise several octaves, drawing the attention of many people nearby.

Su Qing was equally confused at this moment. Why did the little girl suddenly appear here? Did she discover something? Or maybe she's the wingman sent to save him?

"Uh... well..."

Rewind five minutes earlier.

Wen Nanqing drove her precious daughter along with Shen Yi to the pedestrian street, finally spotting Su Qing through the window.

In an instant, she saw Cheng Xiaoxue trying her best to cozy up to Su Qing. Shen Yi was so angry she wanted to rush in, but fortunately, the landlady stopped her, lowered her head, and said to her daughter:

"Did you see Uncle Su?"

The little girl nodded.

"Go on, play with him, and remember to call him 'daddy' as soon as you enter. Then mommy will borrow Dahuang to accompany you, okay?"

"Okay."

"Then go on, be good!"

Under the gaze of the two women, the little girl ran in and shouted "daddy" at just the right moment.

"This auntie is so mean!" the little girl murmured timidly, tugging at Su Qing's clothes.

Seeing this, Su Qing quickly got up and patted the little girl's head: "Why are you here, where's your mom?"

"Mom's outside!"

As she spoke, there were gasps from the diners around them. At the entrance of the hotpot restaurant walked in a sensual young woman dressed in a white cheongsam, with a wooden hairpin in her bun.

Her figure was alluring, her face mature and intelligent, charming without being vulgar, elegant and poised, gentle and lovely. She anxiously looked around until she relaxed upon seeing the little girl, then gracefully walked over.

As she moved, many patrons' eyes followed her.

"Xiaoyun, why did you run off again? You scared mommy to death," she said, scooping up her daughter and then softly addressing Su Qing, "What a coincidence, oh, and who's this lady..."

That's the brilliance of the landlady, saying nothing yet implying everything.

She never revealed her identity, yet gave Cheng Xiaoxue an overwhelming pressure, all perfectly timed.

"She..."

Before Su Qing could finish, Cheng Xiaoxue, mortified and furious, picked up a cup of plain water from the table and splashed it onto his face, spitting out:

"Pfft, scumbag, I'll never see you again!"

She then blocked and deleted his contact information in front of them and left without looking back.

Su Qing: ...

[Blind date attempt number one, flawlessly wrapped up, the loyal friend came to the rescue a bit late, asking for forgiveness, my lord.]
