Chapter 155 - I'll Wait for You in the Room

Liu Mei found herself torn between laughter and exasperation. She couldn't help but ponder: her own child already had a partner, yet here she was considering blind dates with others. Wasn't that misleading him intentionally?

“Even if I agree, Xiaolong won't entertain this,” Liu Mei reasoned with the other party. “These girls are respectable, but why should we subject them to this charade? Let's not waste anyone's time.”

“Sister Mei, you don't understand,” Mrs. Hua lamented. “These families are relentless. I've tried explaining, but they're adamant. They insist on meeting your son. If we refuse, they won't consider other matches for their daughters. They've swarmed our doorstep, leaving Xiaolong in a predicament. Let's view this as a favor.”

Liu Mei glanced over, comprehending the situation.

These girls were undeniably attractive. Their families hoped that if Xiaolong took a liking to them, it might sway their decisions.

If Xiaolong declined, these girls could still pursue other suitors. But if he showed interest, it could lead to complications. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

Thus, they decided Xiaolong should decide for himself. Even if he wasn't interested, they wouldn't hold it against him to be fair to others.

Persuaded by Mrs. Hua, Liu Mei reluctantly agreed. She resolved to discuss the matter with her son upon his return.

Mrs. Hua felt relieved; she'd done her part by arranging the meetings.

The next day, when Zhang Xiaolong returned from Qingyang City, he was taken aback by his mother's revelation.

“Why would I need to entertain such a spectacle?” Zhang Xiaolong protested. “And Yaru and I are engaged, how can I hide that?”

Yet, there remained a few who were assertive to the point of being intimidating. Typically, blind dates entailed tête-à-têtes in private rooms, but one girl defied convention, approaching Zhang Xiaolong with undue familiarity.

This unnerved Zhang Xiaolong. Blast it, she's not a girl but a she-wolf!

Hastily, he fled the room, with the persistent girl in pursuit, proclaiming, “Zhang Xiaolong, I adore you! Let me bear your child!”

Zhang Xiaolong inwardly retorted, ‘Go find a bear on Nest Mountain to bear your child. I want no part in this!'

Coincidentally, Chen Yaru and Yang Jingjing arrived on the scene. Zhang Xiaolong immediately sought refuge with them.

“Let's tie the knot.” Desperate for reprieve, Zhang Xiaolong embraced Chen Yaru, “Let's marry now, I can't take it anymore!”

After fending off the smitten girl and enduring Liu Mei's mortified explanation, Chen Yaru and Yang Jingjing erupted into uncontrollable laughter. It was a sight to behold seeing the seemingly omnipotent Zhang Xiaolong reduced to such hapless circumstances.

Nonetheless, this incident served as a reminder to Chen Yaru of Zhang Xiaolong's widespread appeal.

If he encountered an infatuated girl like that, what about encountering someone as alluring as Yang Jingjing or as beguiling as Yeh Mei? Would Zhang Xiaolong manage to evade their advances?

Later that day, over dinner, Chen Yaru took an unusual approach, coaxing Zhang Xiaolong to drink. Even Yang Jingjing found herself imbibing more than usual. By the end of the meal, everyone was in high spirits.

As bedtime approached, Zhang Xiaolong intended to retire to his room, but Chen Yaru intercepted him.

“I'll be waiting for you in my room later,” Chen Yaru declared, her gaze laden with allure.
