Lin Qingqing’s breath shortened instantly, and she was so nervous that she could only put her hands under the table as she watched them move closer.
Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but smile when she saw Lin Qingqing’s reaction.
“Appearance is not the most important; you have to observe his personality, alright?”
Lin Qingqing flushed red as she heard that. “Mom, Aunt Song is not that kind of person. She wouldn’t introduce him if he were unreliable,” she whispered.
“True.”
Soon, Song An and Ye Moxuan arrived before them.
Song An hadn’t met Mrs. Lin for some time, and they missed each other dearly. They sat down after they greeted each other.
“Let me introduce you—this is my nephew, Ye Moxuan. Moxuan, this is my colleague’s daughter, Lin Qingqing. Hurry up and greet each other.”
Ye Moxuan did not come voluntarily. His aura was so cold that it felt like everything around them froze over after they sat down.
He still remained seated after Song An asked him to greet Lin Qingqing.
Instead, Lin Qingqing reached out her hands at Ye Moxuan and spoke. “Hi, I’m Lin Qingqing. You can just call me Qingqing.”
With that, Lin Qingqing put on a smile and showed her clean, white teeth.
Ye Moxuan looked up lazily, and his cold gaze fell on Lin Qingqing’s face. “Hi, Miss Lin,” he uttered after some time.
But he didn’t take his arms out, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Everyone’s face froze a little.
Lin Qingqing was stunned as well. She told him to call her Qingqing, yet he still called her Miss Lin.
How awkward is that?
“Moxuan!” Song An gritted her teeth in displeasement and glared at Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan looked calm and showed no emotion.
Lin Qingqing was the one who took her hand back embarrassedly and chuckled. “Sorry, Aunt Song. Don’t blame him; I was being over-friendly. It’s good that Mr. Ye is like this. We just met today, and we should keep some distance between us.”
Song An knew that Lin Qingqing was a polite girl, but she didn’t expect her to be so considerate. Her words really made her feel touched.
Therefore, the way Song An looked at Lin Qingqing changed, and she spoke apologetically, “I’m really sorry, Qingqing. There is nothing wrong with my nephew other than being difficult to get along. He has always been cold, and he doesn’t even show me any respect, so… please don’t take it personally. He is just someone cold outside but warm inside. After you spend more time together…”
Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but frown as he heard all these.
Cold outside and warm inside?
How is it that I didn’t know the kind of person I am?
Ha.
Lin Qingqing was more and more satisfied as she looked at Ye Moxuan.
She didn’t feel that Ye Moxuan was being impolite. Instead, she found men that were honest and cold like an iceberg more favorable.
Because of her excellence, she had many suitors. In fact, she was surrounded by them, all of which were always hitting on her smilingly. But she had also witnessed these men buying the same gifts for others as they were courting her.
She had been disappointed for a while and had lost interest in those particularly-passionate men.
A man that was handsome and cold like Ye Moxuan was just her type.
As long as I try, he will be mine alone when the iceberg that he is melts one day.
Thinking so, Lin Qingqing’s heart fluttered.
The little girl didn’t know how to disguise herself; the blush and the satisfaction in her eyes were clear. Song An and Mrs. Lin were both experienced, and they could understand the situation clearly.
Thus the two of them stood up together with a smile and said that they were going shopping, leaving the two of them together.
They then walked out of the cafe together.
“I’m so embarrassed. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I saw my daughter being moved,” Mrs. Lin admitted embarrassedly.
“It’s okay. That’s a sign that it’s working.” Song An smiled.
“It’s just that…” Mrs. Lin was worried, but she did not say it out loud.
“I know what you are worried about. My nephew’s personality is just like that. But Qingqing seems to be smart. In fact, it really depends on their fate; if they are destined, Qingqing will probably be good at controlling my nephew’s personality.”
“Sigh, your nephew seems to be decent. I hope they are destined.”
After the elders left, the youngsters both fell into complete silence.
Lin Qingqing did not speak, and neither did Ye Moxuan.
Lin Qingqing took a glance at Ye Moxuan as she felt awkward, but she found that he was sitting there expressionlessly and didn’t seem to feel awkward despite the current situation.
No, it’ll be extremely awkward if this goes on.
Lin Qingqing put on a smile and asked Ye Moxuan as she looked at him, “Mr. Ye, would you like to order a drink?”
Before he could speak, Lin Qingqing just stood up and called a waiter over.
“What can I do for you, Miss?”
Lin Qingqing looked toward Ye Moxuan, who was sitting opposite her. “Mr. Ye?”
Ye Moxuan finally looked up and moved his thin lips.
“Americano.”
He really doesn’t speak much. Lin Qingqing thought as she said to the waiter, “Get me a cup of cappuccino. Thank you.”
“Sure. Please wait a moment.”
After the waiter left, Lin Qingqing looked at Ye Moxuan and asked gently as she looked down, “Mr. Ye, do you have any hobbies during your free time?”
Ye Moxuan stared at the young woman in front of him with a cold gaze.
She was clearly a fresh graduate, and he had no interest in a childish girl like her at all.
“No.”
Lin Qingqing was startled for a moment, but she continued, “Do you usually just work, then? Don’t you have other things you do to pass time?”
“Miss Lin.”
Ye Moxuan suddenly called her. Lin Qingqing raised her head and looked into his deep eyes.
“Let’s just end this blind date.”
Lin Qingqing was stunned. “What?”
Lin Qingqing’s face changed as she watched Ye Moxuan stand up. She immediately got up and asked, “Mr. Ye, do you have a girlfriend?”
Ye Moxuan stood still and did not answer.
“I’m sure Aunt Song wouldn’t lie to me. If you had a girlfriend, she wouldn’t have introduced you to me. Since you don’t have a girlfriend, why not continue the blind date with me?” Lin Qingqing was speaking really fast, as if she was afraid that Ye Moxuan would vanish before her eyes if she spoke any slower.
Ye Moxuan didn’t speak. Lin Qingqing looked at his back, took a deep breath, and walked up to him.
“Are you going to say that you are here just to perfuncturate your aunt? And you wouldn’t have come here otherwise?”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan frowned.
“Since you already know, get out of my way.”
“But… Aunt Song and my mother just left. If you leave too, it will be embarrassing for a girl like me. So just do me a favor and stay put until the blind date is over, will you?”
