67 Embarrassment if News of This Got Out
“The address is in the city center…”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Nan Zhe raised his hand to stop her. Hearing this, Nan Ge turned her head and blinked, looking at him in confusion.
“Me, on a blind date?”
Nan Zhe thought that he was still asleep.
“Yes.” Under his gaze, Nan Ge nodded seriously.
“When did this happen?”
“Oh, this morning. Mom wanted to wait for you to wake up and make a decision, but who knew that you slept until noon?”
“…And Mom agreed so rashly?”
“No.” Nan Ge hummed and recounted the scene. “At that time, Mom couldn’t wait any longer, so she called everyone to vote first.”
“Then, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt all voted. A total of six people agreed…”
“Oh right, you have a vote too. You can vote against it!”
“Is it still any use for me to vote against it now?”
“I don’t think so.”
“… Then what use is it to talk about it now?” Nan Zhe was so angry that he poked her head. It was just a nap. Why did the world change when he woke up?
Nan Ge let out a cry, covered her head, and hid behind him. She said sadly, “Is it my fault? I’m just passing the message!”
“Then why didn’t you vote against it?”
“Is it any use if I vote? It’s two against five. You’re still dead meat. There’s no room for struggle.”
Nan Zhe, “…” That made sense.
After a pause, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. “Why are they suddenly arranging for a blind date?”
“Well, Mom probably finds you annoying. After all, your childhood friends are starting to have their second kids, but you’re still single.”
Nan Zhe raised his hand and slapped her. Nan Ge dodged and spoke again. “The neighbor next door brought two grandsons over to visit this morning.”
“Mom probably wants a grandchild too, right?”
“She can only place all hope on you. After all, it’s no use looking at me.” Nan Ge blinked and smiled innocently.
“She’s a relative of the granny living next door.”
“…” Nan Zhe opened his mouth but hesitated a few times.
He doubted the authenticity of this matter, but in the end, he felt that his mother was capable of doing this. Besides, Nan Ge did not dare to lie to him.
Even so, he refused to accept it. “I’m not going.”
“That won’t do. Mommy has already agreed.”
“I even asked for a photo for you.” Nan Ge looked outside and said, “The granny next door said that she would send the photo over later. She said that the young lady is very beautiful and a good match for you.”
“I’m not doing it!” Nan Zhe glared at her. “Do I look like I can’t find myself a girl? I’m not going on a blind date.”
How embarrassing would it be if word got out?
Mrs. Nan came in from outside and happened to hear him say this. Then, she retorted, “Sometimes, I think your brain just doesn’t work.”
Nan Zhe, “…”
Mrs. Nan put down the photo and said, “Tell me, do you have any merits? When I talk to the neighbors, I don’t know how to praise you.”
“In the end, it was all thanks to Youyou that she kept trying her best to promote you. In the end, even you not wetting your bed at three was considered a merit.”
Hearing this, Nan Zhe turned around and looked coldly at a certain someone.
Nan Ge touched her nose awkwardly and looked away guiltily.
“Mom, it’s not like no one wants me. Why must I go on a blind date?”
“Look, I have a good family and I’m handsome. I have savings, a house, a car, and a company. I also have a ‘throne’ to inherit.”
“Why should I go on a blind date? I don’t lack women by my side!”
Usually, when he waved his hand, a bunch of women would throw themselves at him.
He had not reached the point where he could not get a wife, right?
“Since you have so many women around you, why are you still single after so long? Don’t tell me that you like men.”
At this point, Mrs. Nan widened her eyes. “I was wondering why you don’t hang out with any nice girls.”
The corners of Nan Zhe’s mouth twitched fiercely. “You’re thinking too much. I just don’t want to date for now.”
“Let’s talk about it in the future. Can you reject this blind date too? I’m not free on that date and can’t go.”
But Mrs. Nan did not quite understand.
“It’s Valentine’s Day and you’re single. Other than sleeping at home and enviously watching other couples celebrate, what else can you do?”
“Don’t your childhood friends already have girlfriends? Would they still have time for you on the day? Who do you think you are?”
Nan Zhe, “…”
“I…”
“Alright, stop talking. You have to go that day! I already made plans with her. Even if you don’t like it, go eat with her and watch a movie or something. Send the girl home safely and then come back.”
“Here is her photo.” Mrs. Nan pointed at an old photo on the table. “She’s a girl with delicate features. I heard that she has a super good personality and is gentle. She’s also a photographer and has her own studio. She often takes photos of celebrities. You’ll definitely like her when you see her.”
After Mrs. Nan left, Nan Ge could not wait to pick up the photo. “Brother, aren’t you going to take a look?”
“Not interested. Even if she’s a fairy, I’m not interested.”
“Alright.” Nan Ge silently turned the photo over and fixed her gaze on the girl’s face in the photo. She was suddenly stunned. “Oh, wait a minute. I think I’ve seen her before?”
“What?”
“She, she, she helped me yesterday to…”
Suddenly, Nan Ge seemed to have thought of something. Her heart skipped a beat and she froze.
“Yesterday?” Nan Zhe took an apple from the fruit platter and took a bite. He asked vaguely, “Where did you meet her yesterday? At the supermarket?”
He remembered that the only time Nan Ge went out yesterday was to the supermarket with him.
“Uh.” Nan Ge felt extremely guilty, and her heart could not help but beat faster. “Maybe. Anyway, she looks a little familiar. I might have recognized the wrong person. I’m a little face-blind, you know.”
Afraid that Nan Zhe would not let go, she quickly pushed the photo in front of him. “But this young lady is really beautiful.”
“Although she looks cool in the photo with short hair, her hair is long now … Pui, I don’t know if she has long hair or short hair now. I’m just guessing it’s long hair!”
“After all, this photo looks a little old. It looks like it was taken in junior high or high school. The school uniform on her looks a little familiar. Hahahaha.”
Every time Nan Ge felt guilty, she would talk a lot of nonsense.
Nan Zhe knew this.
However, he did not have the time to think too much about it this time.
Because at this moment, his attention was focused on the photo.
“This…” As if he had seen a monster, he picked up the photo and looked at it up close.
Seeing that he was engrossed in it, Nan Ge chuckled. “Isn’t she beautiful? Make sure you see her on Valentine’s Day. Remember to bring a bouquet of flowers for her. It’ll be even better if it’s red roses.”
Nan Zhe nodded. “Okay.”
“Huh? You… are you going?”
