The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.
Chapter 20 Finding a Blind Date for Someone Else
"What's wrong?"
Seeing He Wanqing's troubled expression, Bai Yishu wondered what she had said on the phone.
"My mom has arranged a blind date for me tonight, oh my god. But I have another appointment later, and I don't want to go."
He Wanqing paced back and forth in the room with a bitter expression.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had come up with a brilliant plan.
"Yi Shu, could you cover for me?"
"What do you mean?"
Bai Yishu gradually realized what was happening and instantly sprang up off the bed.
"You mean... I should impersonate you?"
"Yes! They're pretending to be me to go on a blind date!"
He Wanqing nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, and grabbed Bai Yishu's arm, shaking it repeatedly and acting coquettishly.
"Please, please help me! I promise, it's just something to do, I won't cause you any trouble!"
Bai Yishu looked incredulous, and it took her a while to recover from the shock.
"What if we get found out?"
"No, no, that won't happen."
He Wanqing quickly waved his hand, looking very confident.
"My mom said the other person is a returnee from overseas who has always lived abroad and has never even met me! Plus, we have similar builds, so with a little dressing up, it would be perfect!"
Seeing Bai Yishu hesitate, He Wanqing grabbed her arm and continued to plead with her.
"Good Yi Shu, I'm truly at my wit's end, please save the child!"
Bai Yishu was extremely unwilling, but she couldn't go against He Wanqing's wishes, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Alright then, but you owe me a favor."
He Wanqing immediately beamed with joy and hugged her with a cheer.
"Yi Shu, you're amazing! I knew you were the best! I owe you a huge favor; you can do me anything from now on!"
He Wanqing picked up her phone and glanced at the time, then quickly pulled Bai Yishu up.
"There's no time! I'll quickly find you some clothes to dress you up, but remember, whatever you do, don't give yourself away!"
Bai Yishu reluctantly got up and followed He Wanqing to the dressing room. She put on one of He Wanqing's clothes and let her hair down casually over her shoulders.
Then, she sat down at the dressing table and did a simple makeup look according to He Wanqing's usual style, making her look somewhat similar to He Wanqing.
Bai Yishu arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time. The restaurant had an elegant ambiance, with crystal chandeliers casting soft light overhead, and melodious piano music accompanied by the whispers of diners.
Bai Yishu scanned the restaurant with her eyes and spotted a tall, upright man sitting by the window, with rose petals adorning the table.
"It must be him..."
Bai Yishu took a deep breath and steeled herself to walk in that direction.
Bai Yishu walked up to the man and was stunned when she saw his face.
The man before me had features so perfect they were almost divinely crafted, and even the placement of them was just right.
He wore a pair of thin-rimmed gold-wire glasses on his high, straight nose. The frames fit his brow bone, and his deep-set eyes, with their sharpness shining through the clear lenses, added a touch of refined coldness.
Although the man was dressed in simple casual clothes, he was tall and straight, and his every move exuded a noble air.
Bai Yishu now believed that He Wanqing had never seen him before; otherwise, how could she possibly let go of such an extremely handsome man?
The man seemed to notice the commotion in front of him, and his gaze shifted from outside the window back into the restaurant, landing precisely on Bai Yishu's face.
Bai Yishu's breath hitched, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly introduced herself.
"Hello, I am... He Wanqing."
A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Miss He, please have a seat."
The waiter pulled out a chair for Bai Yishu, and after she sat down, the man continued, "I am Fu Xiu."
Fu Xiu's voice was unhurried, carrying an innate elegance and composure, as he subtly observed her.
"Miss He is even more beautiful than I imagined."
"Thank you, you flatter me."
Bai Yishu pursed her lips tightly, her eyes avoiding direct eye contact with the person opposite her due to her guilty conscience.
"Is Miss He very nervous?"
Fu Xiu chuckled as he watched Bai Yishu's nervous little movements.
"Actually, there's no need for that; it's just a meal."
Fu Xiu picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and asked casually, "What does Miss He usually like to do?"
Bai Yishu knew that she was only there to cover for He Wanqing tonight, but now she was in a bit of a predicament.
If she really just went through the motions and Fu Xiu developed no good feelings towards He Wanqing, wouldn't He Wanqing blame herself for letting such a handsome guy slip away?
But if she performs well, and Fu Xiu finds out later that she is the one who came for the blind date today, things might get even more complicated.
After some thought, Bai Yishu decided to proceed as planned.
"Shopping and stuff, nothing special."
Bai Yishu responded calmly, deciding to adopt a cold tactic to make Fu Xiu understand that He Wanqing had no interest in him.
Fu Xiu was not surprised by Bai Yishu's answer. He leaned back in his chair, relaxing.
"It's definitely a common problem among girls."
Where is Mr. Fu?
My hobbies... are rather niche.
Fu Xiu deliberately kept everyone in suspense before changing the subject.
"What are your requirements for your future partner, Miss He?"
"Tall, rich and handsome."
Bai Yishu blurted it out without thinking.
Fu Xiu chuckled softly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"A very straightforward answer."
He leaned forward, his eyes behind his glasses fixed on Bai Yishu, not missing a single change in her face.
"Does Miss He think I meet the requirements?"
Bai Yishu glanced at him briefly before quickly looking away, suppressing her infatuation and shaking her head casually.
"Oh? Why doesn't it fit?"
Fu Xiu was not angry at all; on the contrary, he found it amusing and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"I believe I'm not lacking in height, wealth, or looks."
Bai Yishu sighed inwardly. She could never refuse a handsome man, but today she had to make an exception.
"Not handsome enough."
Height and wealth are both impeccable, so we can only rely on his appearance.
Fu Xiu was taken aback by Bai Yishu's answer. He paused for a moment, then threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Miss He has very high standards."
Fu Xiu's laughter gradually subsided, and a barely perceptible hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"So, in Miss He's eyes, what kind of person is considered handsome?"
Bai Yishu pictured He Yun Shen in her mind, and couldn't help but smile, but she couldn't let Fu Xiu know this.
"There's no standard, but I just don't like people like you."
"You don't like someone like me..."
Fu Xiu muttered to himself, his smile still on his face, but a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
"So, who is the person Miss He likes?"
Bai Yishu paused in her eating and did not answer his question.
"This is my private matter. Let's eat first."
She gave a casual reply, then lowered her head to eat, not wanting to continue the topic.
"Okay, I apologize for being presumptuous."
Fu Xiu glanced at Bai Yishu, who was eating, and found her increasingly interesting. He then slowly picked up his cutlery.
"By the way, Miss He, I have a question for you."
Fu Xiu put down his cutlery, picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped his mouth, then looked up to meet Bai Yishu's curious gaze.
"Are you... really He Wanqing?"
