The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

Upon hearing these words, Bai Yishu broke out in a cold sweat and felt a tingling sensation on her back.

She calmly picked up the water glass and took a sip, but her movement as she put the glass down was somewhat unsteady.

"Of course, I wonder what Mr. Fu means by that?"

Fu Xiu chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping around the restaurant before returning to her.

"Miss He, please don't worry. It's just that you are a little different from the He Wanqing I imagined."

Bai Yishu suppressed her unease and stubbornly said, "There's definitely a difference between imagination and reality."

Fu Xiu leaned back, raised his hands and slowly clapped, the crisp clapping sounds landing on Bai Yishu's heart.

"Quick reaction."

"However, I am a person with a very strong sense of curiosity."

Fu Xiu lowered his hand and looked at Bai Yishu with great interest.

"Miss He, what do you think would happen if I went to check with the He family?"

"Confirm what?"

Bai Yishu's heart leaped into her throat, and cold sweat appeared on her palms without her realizing it.

Fu Xiu deliberately slowed his speech, emphasizing each word: "Let me confirm, is the person sitting in front of me right now the real He Wanqing, or an imposter?"

Bai Yishu gripped her clothes tightly under the table, her mind racing as she considered countermeasures.

Seeing that Bai Yishu remained silent, Fu Xiu became even more certain of his guess.

"Not going to say anything? Then I'll take it as I guessed right."

Fu Xiu didn't want to push Bai Yishu too hard, so he gave her a few minutes to react while he called the waiter over to pour her some water.

"Now, I'm curious, why did you impersonate He Wanqing?"

Bai Yishu was furious at his nonchalant attitude.

"You say I'm impersonating someone, what evidence do you have?"

Fu Xiu interlaced his fingers and spoke calmly.

"Your eyes, your tone of voice, and even some subtle gestures and habits are all telling me that you are not He Wanqing."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and pulled out a number.

"However, these are just my speculations. As for the real evidence, I think a simple phone call to the He family would provide all the answers."

Seeing his finger hovering over the dial button, about to press it, Bai Yishu wished she could snatch his phone away.

At the critical moment, she reached out and stopped Fu Xiu.

"Don't!"

If they were to call the He family to confirm, not only would He Wanqing suffer, but it might also reach He Yunshen's ears.

Their relationship is still unsettled, and she doesn't want He Yun Shen to know about it.

"Are you willing to admit it now?"

Seeing Fu Xiu put down his phone, Bai Yishu lowered her hand as if deflated.

Fu Xiu didn't seem like someone to be trifled with, so Bai Yishu decided to tell him the truth to avoid angering him.

"I told her she didn't want to come and asked me to come in her place."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiu's eyes flashed with an expression of knowing that he had expected this.

"really."

Fu Xiu tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his gaze fixed on a corner of the restaurant, before changing the subject.

"She asked you to go on a blind date for her, isn't she afraid I'll do something to you?"

Bai Yishu's body, which had finally relaxed, tensed up again. She subconsciously glanced around and said with a forced smile, "You wouldn't... hahaha..."

Bai Yishu's gaze met Fu Xiu's playful eyes behind his glasses, and she lowered her head guiltily like a child who had done something wrong.

Are you gambling with my character?

Fu Xiu rested one fingertip on his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"You bet right, I really won't do anything to you."

"However, you have to tell me something."

"What is it?"

Fu Xiu leaned forward slightly, his expression showing a hint of curiosity and inquiry.

Tell me, what's your name?

Just as Bai Yishu was about to speak, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Fu Xiu might want to know her name so he can settle scores with her later.

What if she and He Yun Shen get together in the future, and this Fu Xiu comes back to harass her and brings up today's incident again?

Although this is only one possibility, we cannot afford to be complacent.

Moreover, strictly speaking, he was He Wanqing's blind date, so it was best for her not to have too much contact with him.

My name is Lin Xiaoxiao.

Suddenly, the name of one of Bai Yishu's elementary school classmates flashed through her mind, and in a moment of panic, she blurted it out.

She gave Fu Xiu a genuine smile, but her heart was pounding, wondering if he would believe her fake name.

Fu Xiu seemed to have no doubt about her explanation this time, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Miss Lin, do you have a boyfriend?"

Why are you asking this?

"Just out of curiosity."

Fu Xiu put his arms on the table, closing the distance between himself and Bai Yishu.

"After all, a special girl like Miss Lin shouldn't lack suitors."

Bai Yishu thought of He Yunshen again, and grinned, revealing a slightly infatuated smile.

"Yes, I have it."

Fu Xiu tightened his grip on the table, but maintained a polite smile on his face.

"So, what kind of person is Miss Lin's boyfriend?"

Before Bai Yishu could speak, her phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up and saw that it was an "emergency call" from He Wanqing.

Bai Yishu was secretly delighted and quickly pressed the answer button, responding to the person on the other end of the phone a few times.

"Excuse me, Mr. Fu, something has come up at home, I have to go now."

Fu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly not believing her statement, but he did not expose her.

"Since Miss Lin has other matters to attend to, I cannot ask her to stay."

Bai Yishu picked up her things, stood up, and gave Fu Xiu a slight bow.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you today, um..."

Fu Xiu stood up with Bai Yishu, his movements elegant and composed, interrupting Bai Yishu before she could finish speaking.

"It's not exactly troublesome, but I have a suggestion."

"What?"

Fu Xiu took a step closer to Bai Yishu, his tall figure blocking the light and casting her into shadow.

"Today's blind date doesn't count. I'd like to ask you out for dinner another day so we can have a proper chat."

Bai Yishu rolled her eyes inwardly.

This man is like a persistent ghost. Didn't he hear her just say she has a boyfriend? Why is she even eating?

Bai Yishu forced a smile as she looked at him.

"Haha... Good, good, it's good that you didn't take it to heart."

"Of course, I'm not that petty."

Fu Xiu gave Bai Yishu a meaningful look and stepped aside to make way.

"I'll walk you to the door."

Bai Yishu walked out of the restaurant, saw a taxi parked at the entrance, and immediately got in.

Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

Bai Yishu waved to Fu Xiu from inside the car and then told the driver to drive away from the restaurant.

As Fu Xiu's figure receded further and further into the rearview mirror until it disappeared completely, Bai Yishu finally let out a long sigh.

The car was heading home, the streets were brightly lit, and Bai Yishu looked at the decorations in front of the shops and suddenly realized what day it was.

She took out her phone, swiped her finger across the screen for a while, and then dialed a number.

Merry Christmas, Mr. He.
