1 Chapter 1 Blind Date 1_1

Luo Qingli was listlessly stirring her coffee, thoroughly convinced she must not be her mother's biological daughter.

No mother would force her own daughter, who is not yet twenty, out of the house to go on a blind date.

And the reason behind this? It was weirdly absurd.

"Xiaoli, you're about to take the college entrance exams and well, your grades are awful. I've thought about it — the chances of you getting into a university are zero. So, why not start early and get married, huh?

Even if you don't get into university, at least you won't need to worry about finding a husband later on. I've already arranged someone for you to meet. It's happening at Love Coffee Shop. Hurry up and go!"

Those were the words Zhao Wanru, Luo Qingli's mother, had uttered before heading out.

No matter how reluctantly Luo Qingli expressed herself, or how cutely she pouted, her dear mother used an iron-like strength to push her out of the door.

Luo Qingli failed to understand how a modern-day police officer such as her mother, could harbour such archaic views.

Being a nineteen-year-old senior-high student, her life wasn't easy. She'd had a leg injury while training martial arts in her sophomore year and had to rest for two years.

Upon her return to school, she found the text in her books totally baffling. They seemed to know her, but she scarcely recognized them.

It was like a seven-minute steak and a five-minute fried egg, they were simply not familiar with each other!

Was there any need for her to paint such a tragic picture of herself? Weren't there still a few months left until the exam?

"Sigh!" Luo Qingli sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time. Checking her watch, she felt quite apathetic toward her blind date who was late.

If he wasn't unpleasant-looking, he surely must be inadequate in another aspect or have a serious personality flaw.

Had her mother not given her a strict order to meet him and take a selfie together or risk losing her financial support, she would have left already.

What she found most unacceptable was that her mother had given her 2000 yuan, indicating that as a courtesy she should offer to pay for the first date. This shouldn't give a bad impression.

She was feeling rather desperate, having to pay for her own blind date.

Luo Qingli firmly believed she must have been picked up from a corner somewhere.

Just as she was lost in her fantasy of being abandoned by her biological parents and then being picked up by her current mother.

A deep, charismatic voice pulled her back into reality: "I don't have much time; there's a case I need to take care of later. To keep it brief: Gu Yuying, thirty-two years old, lawyer."

After introducing himself, Gu Yuying turned to the server and said, "A cup of coffee, please."

Indeed, just as he said, his self-introduction was quite succinct.

Gu Yuying never thought he would see the day when he would be on a blind date. It was utterly surreal to him.

Examining Luo Qingli sitting across him — her cute little face, delicate long brows, captivating foxy eyes, adorable nose, lips slightly pursed, revealing two dimples.

The sugary sweetness amidst her enchanting allure, she was indeed lovely. However, this era was not lacking in beautiful women.

But, this girl across him, dressed in a tracksuit with her hair in a ponytail — surely, she wasn't of legal age yet!

Luo Qingli had imagined a myriad of possibilities but never had she expected the man before her to look the way he did.

His height of around 1.86 meters, his well-fitted suit which did little to conceal his buff physique, and a face that was chiseled to perfection with sharp angles.
