Chapter 395: Ms. Wen

“I’m guessing that Brother Zhiqian has his own thoughts about this. He’s probably trying to gauge the other party’s personality. He wants to know if she is superficial or has the princess syndrome.”

After all, Tan Mo did not mind such things.

Tan Mo could go to a place as high-class as a three-star Michelin restaurant that required a six-month waiting period…

Tan Mo could also go to a roadside stall that sold grilled food and was filled with smoke…

It did not matter as long as the food was good.

Although she had always been doted upon by many people, Tan Mo had never let herself develop the princess syndrome.

Of course, that wasn’t true just of Tan Mo. Qin Muye was the same.

Ming Yeqing thought, not just Wei Zhiqian, but Qin Mufeng probably wouldn’t like girls who were squeamish.

He doted on his sister and she was not squeamish. How could he want to be around other girls who were more squeamish than his own sister?

The same thing probably applied to Wei Zhiqian.

The Tan Mo I dote on isn’t squeamish. How can you be more squeamish than she is?

“Ai, he has so many thoughts, it is tiring to listen.” Qin Muye scrunched up her nose and did not think about it any further.

“Teatime is not bad.” Ming Yeqing smiled. “Also, I remember that Teatime does not have private rooms and only has a large hall. Thus, Brother Zhiqian will certainly be able to see Tan Mo.”

“Then that’s settled.” Qin Muye was very happy.

So Ming Yeqing told upperclassman Cheng the time and location.

“Upperclassman, do not worry about anything, you just have to appear.” Ming Yeqing said. “Muye and I will be responsible for inviting Tan Mo. We will say that we are going to arrive late due to a traffic jam.

“Anyway, whether we arrive late or we don’t come at all, we will play it by ear.” Ming Yeqing told upperclassman Cheng, “You also play it by ear. We know Mo Mo’s character. As long as she is there, even if we don’t come, she will not leave you alone to feel awkward.”

“Tan Mo is so kind,” upperclassman Cheng commented.

Ming Yeqing: “……”

“But is it all right for you to lie to her?” Upperclassman Cheng asked.

With a troubled expression on his face, Ming Yeqing sighed. “Ai! What else can we do? Otherwise, we cannot ask her out to a gathering between us three.

“This is the first time we’ve ever lied to her, and later when she gets mad, we will admit what went on and will probably be forgiven. But these things should not be done often. If there is a next time, she might not be so forgiving.” Ming Yeqing clarified everything in advance.

He wanted to prevent upperclassman Cheng or any other people who hoped that they could use this method to ask Tan Mo out.

This time, they had really done it to anger Wei Zhiqian.

The upperclassman was very touched.

Upperclassman Cheng gripped Ming Yeqing’s hand and said, touched, “Yeqing, you treat me too well. Rest assured that if it doesn’t work out this time, I will try hard on my own next time, and certainly it will not affect the friendship between you and her because you helped me this time.”

“……” Ming Yeqing accepted upperclassman Cheng’s gratitude in a very calm manner. “Thank you, upperclassman Cheng, for your understanding.”

“I understand, I asked for your help previously because I didn’t expect that you would have to rely on lying to Tan Mo to ask her out.” Upperclassman Cheng sighed. “If I had known this beforehand, I certainly would not have imposed on you.”

It was enough to lie once for such things.

There naturally would not be a next time.

No wonder Ming Yeqing was not willing to agree previously.

Tan Mo still did not know that Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing had secretly finished their planning.

Now, she was only angry at Wei Zhiqian.

Since Wei Zhiqian was not willing to see her, then she also would not think about Wei Zhiqian.

She really did not know what was wrong with Wei Zhiqian recently.

Even if she had made him angry, there was no need to ignore her for so long.

On the other hand, it seemed that nothing was amiss when they chatted over messages.

Everything was as normal, but he was just not willing to show his face.

“Mo Mo, let’s have dinner together tonight.”

On Friday at noon, Tan Mo was in Professor Zhao’s research lab when she received Qin Muye’s message.

Tan Mo answered, “Tonight?”

Qin Muye: “Do you have plans tonight?”

Tan Mo: “I don’t.”

Qin Muye: “Then let’s get together. We will go out to eat and keep our mind off things. Let’s not think about unhappy matters.”

Tan Mo saw the message and realized that Qin Muye wanted to console her and did not want her to be upset because of Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Mo: “All right, where shall we meet?”

Qin Muye sent a location to Tan Mo. “Teatime, they serve Cantonese cuisine. I made reservations for 8:00 in the evening, at table 12. If you get there before me, just tell them my name.”

Tan Mo: “Aren’ t we going to go together?”

They were both at school. and usually they would just leave from school.

Qin Muye: “Aiya, I forgot to tell you. I only have morning classes. I have something to do at noon and will go home first. I will leave from home that night. Yeqing had gone to be Professor Yue’s assistant as Professor Yue has a lecture at the exhibition center. He will go to the restaurant directly from there after the lecture ends.”

Tan Mo: “All right.”

Tan Mo reflected that she’d been so busy thinking about the Wei Zhiqian situation that she had neglected Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing.

She didn’t even know that both of them would not be in school today.

Qin Muye: “Is it all right for you to leave from school by yourself?”

Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing did not want upperclassman Cheng to leave with Tan Mo.

They were afraid that Tan Mo would pick up on the situation, and they arranged for upperclassman Cheng to arrive at the restaurant early to wait for Tan Mo.

Tan Mo: “Of course, no problem! I am an adult now.”

Qin Muye: “All right, I’ll see you tonight.”

After she had agreed with Qin Muye, Tan Mo went back to her dormitory and ate some snacks after classes were over.

At 6:30, she left school and called a car to come to the school entrance to go to Teatime.

There were massive traffic jams as it was the peak period when people got off work.

So Tan Mo left an hour and a half ahead of time.

She estimated that in this way she would arrive on time.

As expected, there were huge jams on the road.

Tan Mo looked at the time and rejoiced that she had gone out so early, otherwise, she really would have been late.

…

At Teatime…

Wei Zhiqian and his blind date had just sat down.

Of course, he had also just arrived, but he was still earlier than the date.

“Zhiqian, may I address you like this?” After they had sat down, Wen Nuanxin asked graciously.

“Better not. We have just met for the first time, and we are not familiar with each other.” Wei Zhiqian did not bother to be polite and was blunt, and especially emphasized, “…Ms. Wen.”

Wen Nuanxin: “……”

She had not expected Wei Zhiqian to reject her already.

Most of the time, men would agree in a gentlemanly manner.

They were on a blind date, so they naturally would get more familiar with each other.

She had heard that Wei Zhiqian had gone on a couple of blind dates. Didn’t he know about such things?

“In the past, when you go on blind dates, have you always been so outgoing?” Wei Zhiqian asked.
