den study door, he stepped inside and shut it behind him, walking in as he said, “Nephew, I’m here to get the blueprints.”Her gaze swept directly to the office desk, but saw no one. Her eyes then glan...Yi Sheng was slightly surprised, and he hadn't expected his blind date today to be the woman who asked him for an autograph at Lu Yin's son's full moon banquet last time.

"How could it not be me" He raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over her coldly.

Wen Ping Sheng never expected that the person her grandmother described as "calm, introverted, incredibly handsome, kind-hearted, and the kind of person who would help an old lady cross the road" would be this man.

To be frank, she didn't seem to understand what it meant to be kind and helpful.

And also —

This man is thirty-five years old, she is only 24.

She remembered her uncle was only thirty-three.

And this man is even older than her uncle!!!

Yisheng could tell from her reaction that there was no need or point in continuing this blind date.

He said coolly, "I'm sorry, I have something else to attend to. Excuse me."

But unexpectedly, Wen Ping Sheng also stood up from his chair, "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered some urgent matters, excuse me."

"... After saying that, both of them were taken aback for a moment."

Then Wen Pingsheng left, carrying his bag and without looking back, leaving a few bills on the seat to pay for it.

Yisheng's eyes swept coldly across the phone that had been carelessly left on the table after she paid the bill. When she looked again at the woman, she was already gone from the restaurant, leaving in a panicked hurry.

******

"Yi Sheng, how did you come back so soon"

When Anmu just finished cooking, she saw Yisheng come back. She couldn't hide her surprise, but there was also a hint of disappointment in her heart. It seemed like there was no chance for her.

Yisheng's tone was light, and she spoke rather delicately, "We both coincidentally remembered that we had some urgent matters to attend to, so we left."

"...What's the rush Didn't we say there was nothing going on today" An mother looked at him suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.

"Come back and eat the meal I cooked," he said.

An's mother was amused by him instantly, her heart warming with happiness. She smiled and turned back to the kitchen to get another set of bowls and chopsticks.

At mealtimes.

An mother still asked the reason, “Yi Sheng ah, you and that girl don't have a spark Or other reasons.”

Last time at Lu Yiner's son's full moon banquet, she had seen that girl. She was pretty but not showy, and her manners were elegant and generous. Her personality was well-behaved, and even when talking to people her age, they could have a conversation and get along well.

"Well, no call." Yi Sheng nodded in acknowledgment.

As if remembering something, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a cell phone from his pocket and handed it to his mother.

"Mom, isn't this girl's family someone you know This phone was left at the restaurant. Could you please bring it to them"

He waited at the restaurant for about ten minutes, but no one came back. He thought that if she couldn't remember when she dropped her phone, she wouldn't come back to the restaurant, so he brought it back.

"…" Mother An's heart was stirred.

After a few seconds of silence, An’s mother said seriously, "Mom is going to visit the rabbit and Annian at Tang's house later. Since you found this phone, you should send it back to the girl who lost it; deliver it back after we eat dinner. I heard she has a busy job and frequently uses her phone for work. Please don’t delay sending it back, as it could interfere with her important tasks."

"Your mother is right," An's father chimed in.

"...Yi Sheng."

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, An's mother continued, "Anyway, the girl doesn't live far away. It's only a half-hour drive at most. Yisheng, you can just treat it as an after-dinner walk."

Meanwhile, elsewhere—

After lunch, Grandma Wen sat on the sofa and scolded her granddaughter, "Wen Ping Sheng, what exactly are you dissatisfied with Yi Sheng"

"Grandma, he's thirty-five years old, even older than my uncle," Wen Ping Sheng whispered, shrinking his head.

“Where did you say Yi Sheng got old He looks to be in his twenties; besides, look at our circle, many men marry wives who are ten or twenty years younger than them. Yi Sheng is only eleven years older than you.” Grandma Wen tapped her head with a rolled-up newspaper.

"Wen Ping Sheng! When you were studying, didn't your teachers teach you not to judge people by their appearance He's just a few years older than you. But being a little older means his personality is more mature and reserved, and he's financially stable too. He knows how to treat people well."

“Moreover, Yi Sheng has a great personality and character. He doesn't smoke or drink, nor does he engage in casual relationships. He has a good temper and can make his own money... Aunt An said that Yi Sheng hasn't found a partner yet, and you haven't been in love either. The two of you together would be each other's first love. Nowadays, isn't it popular to emphasize physical and mental purity”

"Grandma, are you watching another domineering CEO drama again" Wen Ping Sheng asked with a smile.

First love

If that old man, Yi Sheng, were with her, it would only be a twilight romance.

Refresh my mind and body.

“Oh, that male lead is so devoted to the female lead! Besides the female lead, no woman can get close to him. It's just that the author updates too slowly, it makes me blood pressure soar every day, I hope I can see the ending in my lifetime…and so on!” Grandma Wen said and then realized that the topic had been steered off course. She angrily tapped her with the newspaper, “Wen Ping Sheng, stop changing the subject! Did you hear what I just said”

"Remember what Grandma said, she's right, I'll reflect on it," Wen Pingsheng followed her *** intention, smiling and agreeing.

Her grandmother doesn't have much interest now, her mentality has returned to being a child, she likes watching domineering presidents (霸總), constantly saying "so cute," and "so sweet," an old woman's girlish heart...

Sometimes the elderly woman gets up early and finds that her reading account is out of money. She can't read, so she calls her up to help recharge the reading coins.

"Come to my place tomorrow, I'll ask Yisheng over for dinner. Remember to make a good impression then, you hear" Grandma Wen said seriously.

Want to see more

"Grandma, I have to start working on my manuscripts tomorrow, or else I'll end up in the hospital again from burning the midnight oil." Wen Ping Sheng refused.

But unexpectedly, this one sentence led to the next two hours being spent under relentless criticism from her grandmother, leaving her feeling completely shattered.

The doorbell rang, and the maid went to open the door.

Yisheng stepped into the room and heard Grandma Wen's loud and commanding voice, "…Wen Ping Sheng, you must immediately end this endless, inhumane work; if you don't go on a blind date, you'll come back to Kyoto with me."

The maid hurried to Old Mrs. Wen's side, bending down to whisper in her ear.

Wen Ping Sheng didn't know what the maid had said to her grandmother, but between them, her grandmother retracted her anger in the blink of an eye and showed a smile like an old mother.

Following, she saw her grandmother rise gracefully, turn—

Wow, crap!

How could this man be here

"Yìshēng, how did you come" Grandma Wen smiled brightly, her voice gentle and kind.

"Miss Wen's phone was left at the restaurant. My mother guessed that if Miss Wen lost her phone, she would be delayed from work, so she asked me to bring it over." Yisheng explained clearly to avoid being misunderstood.nded her cautiously. 。Besides eating and necessary activities, the rest of the time, the wives almost always lock themselves in their rooms. 。Tang Yucheng frowned, falling into deep thought. 。Seriou...
