Chapter 256 - 234: After Crying, She Gleefully Went to Look for Su Bao
Ever since Shen Yiran saw Dudu, her thoughts had already drifted away from work. The guy she just met looked quite good, and he was introduced by her family, at least they were parallel matches.But hearing her order such a messy bunch of dishes, why didn’t he stop her?
He wouldn’t stop her from going on blind dates, but he hoped she would find someone seriously, someone who would at least care about her.
While discussing matters here, her voice came from over there again. Although her voice wasn’t prominent through the curtain, he could hear it clearly.
"Since it’s like this, why don’t we go to watch a movie later? Then we can go to the bar at night, do you go usually?"
He didn’t hear the man’s reply, probably his voice was too faint, and obviously, Dudu deliberately raised her voice for him to hear.
The things he used to forbid her from doing, she was doing now, and he no longer had the status to control her. After she got married, someone else would do it for him, right?
"Second Young Master? What do you think of this plan?"
Shen Yiran withdrew his gaze, his thoughts finally focusing on work, but still seemed a bit absent-minded.
Dudu ate her food with some frustration, taking a bite of each dish before losing interest. She stood up from her seat and said, "Let’s go out and have some fun."
Qiao Luchen glanced at her, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, then stood up and gently wrapped his arm around her, walking towards the cashier.
At the instant Dudu was held by him, her body stiffened a bit. Thinking of Shen Yiran behind, she intentionally leaned towards Qiao Luchen.
Descending the stairs, knowing that he couldn’t see her anymore, and he didn’t come out after hearing her leave, her heart ached dully. She closed her eyes and removed Qiao Luchen’s hand from her waist, striding down the stairs, went to the cashier first, and upon Qiao Luchen’s arrival, she said, "Just do as I said earlier after we get back."
Qiao Luchen followed her leisurely from behind, speaking calmly, "Just now? Spend some time with me? Or go watch a movie? Or... go to a bar?"
Dudu frowned, "Those were mentioned before! Saying our personalities don’t match!"
Qiao Luchen chuckled, "I think it’s quite fitting. Where to? I’ll take you."
Dudu turned her head, "No need, I..."
Before she finished speaking, her arm was pulled to the side towards the nearby car.
As soon as she made the move to push him, she saw Shen Yiran coming out with some people. Dudu turned to glance at him, their gazes met, and again he looked away first, chatting nonchalantly with the people beside him while walking towards the business car by the roadside.
Dudu immediately opened the car door and got in. Qiao Luchen smiled satisfactorily, glanced at Shen Yiran, their eyes met briefly, and Qiao Luchen’s gaze carried a hint of mischief. He closed the door for Dudu and walked to the other side to sit in the passenger seat.
The car drove away under Shen Yiran’s gaze, taking his heart with it.
Dudu acted thoughtlessly in everything she did, now he didn’t know if she was doing it to purposely annoy him or what. That man was known to her parents, should not hurt her. He didn’t need to worry about her anymore.
He convinced himself this way, but his mind couldn’t completely let go. Maybe it was just a habit that was hard to break...
After driving a block, Dudu turned to Qiao Luchen and said, "Stop the car."
Qiao Luchen shifted his gaze from the road to her, glanced at her, but the car didn’t stop, instead it sped up.
"Where are you taking me? Stop the car!"
He didn’t reply, keeping the speed and continuing ahead. Dudu looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and the increasingly sparse people, wondering if he planned to do something to her. While she was frantically contemplating, the car screeched to a halt by the roadside, the door locks clicked, Dudu glanced out the window and asked him, "Where is this?"
He just gestured outside with his chin, "Get out."
Confused, Dudu frowned, thinking he brought her here to take her somewhere. She got out of the car dazedly, and as soon as the door closed, she heard a roar and saw his car driving far away rapidly.
Stunned for two seconds before realizing she was tricked, angrily shouting at the car’s rear, "You bastard! Deserve to be single for life!"
Then cursed several times, which only she could hear. Looking at this deserted place, surrounded by old, uninhabited tile-roofed houses, the walls full of moss, the road full of potholes—forget cars, there wasn’t even a single person. Her back suddenly felt chilly.
What’s worse, she took several turns to get here, now she couldn’t find her way out.
Taking out her phone, finding the signal completely dead.
Today was definitely a bad day for her, and being Qiao Uncle’s son, he couldn’t be biological! Qiao Uncle was such a good person, how could he produce such an ungracious son!
Walking on the bumpy road in high heels, she still somewhat hoped he hadn’t gone far, maybe she’d see his car coming back if she kept walking.
However, she overestimated his character. Walking for almost half an hour, she finally saw a tractor loaded with hay, fortunately, the uncle was kind enough to give her a lift.
Waiting by the roadside for quite a while before getting a taxi, rubbing her sore foot, thinking to herself, next time she goes to the hospital, she must complain to his father!
On the way, her mother called, "Dudu, when are you coming back? Are you eating at home tonight?"
Dudu immediately cried, "Yes, I want ribs soup."
"Okay." After a pause, her mother asked, "How did the blind date go?"
"...I don’t like any of them."
"What about Qiao Uncle’s son? He seems nice?"
Dudu got angry just thinking about it, "Wrong! Absolutely wrong! I don’t like him!"
"What’s wrong? Acting like a child again? Luchen’s temperament is pretty good, you need to find someone with a good temperament. Otherwise, you might get disciplined if you misbehave at your husband’s house later."
"I wouldn’t choose him even over anyone else. Mom, don’t arrange blind dates for me anymore. If there’s a next time, I won’t go. If you want to, you go yourself."
Her mom sighed, "But I heard from Luchen’s mom that he said you are quite good when he got home, seems to have some thoughts. Our families are familiar, you should keep your temper in check and try dating Luchen first."
She matched her daughter for blind dates this early, afraid her daughter might end up following the wrong path.
Su Bao is nice and grew up under her watch, but still, he has a fiancée now; they couldn’t let their daughter break someone else’s family.
That’s why she was so urgent in marrying her daughter off, with a man beside her caring for her, maybe she would slowly forget about Su Bao.
Seeing her daughter suffer so much in liking Su Bao, what parent wouldn’t feel the pain, but her stubbornness followed no one’s teachings. Once healed, she would forget the pain and run to Su Bao again after crying.
