Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help it and broke out in goosebumps.
He gave the other party a look as if he had seen a ghost.
However, she wasn’t stupid and quickly figured out what was going on.
It seemed this guy had pulled her in as a human shield.
But come on, how old was she?
He wasn’t afraid of others accusing him of robbing the cradle?
Sheng Ning’an was tall and pretty, and since she was out shopping today and not in her school uniform, she looked youthful and tender.
Standing next to Xu Weiran, they actually looked quite matched.
Both were easy on the eyes.
The girl opposite them looked somewhat upset as if she hadn’t expected this turn of events. She struggled to maintain her composure, but it was apparent she had good manners, as she didn’t resort to cursing even in such a situation. Instead, she looked at Xu Weiran with a cold face and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Xu Weiran said, "Sorry, it’s just as you see, I already have a girlfriend. My mom didn’t know, so she arranged this blind date, but it’s okay, we can just be friends. Order whatever you like, it’s on me."
"No need! I have other matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first." The girl picked up her purse, stood up to leave, but then stopped to turn back and look at Xu Weiran, "However, I think if you have a girlfriend, you should clarify it with your family earlier. Coming to a blind date while having a girlfriend is very irresponsible and impolite. I hope you won’t do this again." After saying that, she left with an upset expression.
As soon as the girl left, Sheng Ning’an lifted her foot and stomped hard on Xu Weiran’s foot.
"Hiss—" Xu Weiran inhaled sharply and looked up at her, "It’s just asking for a little help, did you have to stomp that hard?"
Sheng Ning’an rolled her eyes at him and said, "The sister just now has a really good temper. In my case, I definitely would have yelled ’Scumbag! Jerk!’ then splashed water in your face before leaving. That would have been satisfying."
Xu Weiran responded with a wry smile, "I know you’re tough! But can you not misuse terms? How am I a ’jerk’? How am I a ’beast’?"
Sheng Ning’an said, "The sister just now was right. If you didn’t want to go on a blind date, you could have simply not shown up. Causing such a scene upon coming, isn’t that just deliberately making things awkward for others? If not a jerk, what are you?"
Xu Weiran said with a helpless look, "What if I tell you that I found out only after I arrived? My mom just said she wanted me to come to the restaurant for a meal, and I discovered her setup only when I got here. I was just about to clarify things when you showed up. I figured if I ruined this time, there would definitely be a next time, so I might as well put an end to it once and for all. After that little display just now, my mom should probably not make any more secret arrangements behind my back."
Sheng Ning’an felt his idea was not a good one at all, commonly known as a bad idea; she rolled her eyes at him and said, "What if your mom finds out you have a girlfriend and asks you to bring her home?"
Xu Weiran looked at her, smiled, and said, "Then it depends on whether you are willing to perform in another play with me."
"Don’t even think about it!" Sheng Ning’an directly gave him a big eye roll and said, "I’m how old? And you’re not afraid of being accused of robbing the cradle?"
She then glanced in the direction the girl had left, "Besides, I think the sister just now was quite pretty, and she had a good temper too. You don’t like her, are your standards too high or what?"
Xu Weiran said lazily, "I’m only 23, the time to focus on my work. Why should I be looking for a partner? A girlfriend would only interfere with the progress of my research."
