Chapter 51 - Grand Master Cao's MatchmakingChapter 51: Grand Master Cao’s Matchmaking

“This sounds like... something a pimp would say!”

Lu Li couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye. He had little interaction with Grand Master Cao in his last life and hadn’t expected him to be like this in private.

With Grand Master Cao speaking so directly, he had no good reason to decline, especially with Cao Yingying looking at him expectantly. He nodded, agreeing to it.

But it still felt quite odd!

The plot never showed Grand Master Cao setting up Cao Yingying and Ye Chen like this!

Cao Yingying couldn’t help but blush, gratefully glancing at her grandfather. She really had no idea how to pursue Lu Li. After thinking all day, she just came up with the excuse of him needing to treat her grandfather and ran to Lu Li’s company.

The daughter of a wealthy family, after falling under the spell of love, behaved no differently from an ordinary girl.

Even if Cao Yingying was confident, elegant, and intelligent, she became uncontrollably flustered in front of the man she liked.

The treatment was indeed very simple. After a brief session of acupuncture, today’s treatment was over.

“Let’s go to dinner, Lu Li!” Trying her best to present her best self in front of Lu Li, Cao Yingying’s light makeup added a touch of gentleness to her expression.

“Okay.”

“Young people should act young. That’s the spirit. You two have a good time, but of course, don’t overdo it,” Grand Master Cao said cheerily as he settled back into his wheelchair.

“Grandpa... what are you saying! It’s embarrassing.” Cao Yingying’s face turned even redder at his insinuating remarks.

Cautiously glancing at Lu Li, she found him still wearing that calm smile, which couldn’t help but deflate her spirit.

“Does this big idiot not understand the implication of Grandpa’s words? So dense, so dense!!”

“...” Lu Li didn’t know how to respond to that. Being reborn, he could face anyone mercilessly, but he was at a loss in such situations!

Facing Grand Master Cao, who was acting like a pimp, he was simply overwhelmed!

***

He casually ordered a few dishes.

Then, Lu Li’s phone rang.

It was Chen Xiaoyi calling. He apologized to Cao Yingying with a smile: “Excuse me, I need to take this call.”

Cao Yingying didn’t mind.

“Hello.”

“Lu Li, aren’t you coming home for dinner today?” Chen Xiaoyi’s gentle voice came through the phone.

Hearing a woman’s voice on the other end, Cao Yingying couldn’t help but look at Lu Li.

“Um, I won’t be coming back. I’m eating out with Miss Cao,” Lu Li said.

“...”

There was a brief silence on the other end, then she spoke: “I see. Also, a girl named Xiaomeng came looking for you. Security didn’t let her in. Do you know her?”

“Xiaomeng?” Lu Li frowned.

“Ask her if she’s Xiaomeng from Sunshine Orphanage?” There were many regrets left in his last life, including not saying goodbye to Li Zichuan properly and not seeing that girl he had helped one last time.

“She said yes!” Chen Xiaoyi replied after a moment.

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Li’s face. He hadn’t had much contact with that little girl last time. He didn’t know if he could change his destiny this time, so to not make the little girl too sad, he never told her his name.

And then the little girl went missing, impossible to find. But this time, she had found her way here.

He had avoided her, not even daring to tell her his name. But now, it didn’t matter. He had already dealt with one female lead and torn his face with the protagonist. What was there to fear?

“Let her in. She’s someone I know. I’ll have a good chat with her when I get back.”

“Got it!”
