“…Yes,” Li Yuhuan replied. Then, she threw up her hands at Li Guowei, “What should I do, father? I’m supposed to be treating Fourth Brother to a meal today, but that would mean I can’t meet up with my blind date,”

Li Guowei was a little perplexed. Didn’t his daughter think Lei Hanping was unattractive? Did something happen last night that changed her mind?

Whatever the reason was, they couldn’t let her stand up on her date with Hanping just because they had already arranged a blind date for her…

They had no choice but to ask Li Qiao to help them.

In the end, under Li Qiao’s disapproving glare, Li Yuhuan and Lei Hanping walked out of the house side by side.

“Thank you, Fourth Brother,” Li Yuhuan gratefully said as they entered her car. She had been going on blind dates every day since returning to her homeland, and each one left her all worn out. When she heard that she had another blind date today, she was resigned but was ready to deal with it, and fortunately, thanks to Lei Hanping, she didn’t have to go. Due to his standing, the Li family did not dare refuse his request to eat with her.

“Did you think I was trying to help you out? Li Yuhuan, don’t play dumb with me,” Lei Hanping simply said.

“What are you talking about, Fourth Brother?” Li Yuhuan asked, confused. She paused before continuing, “Do you have any food preferences? Sichuan food or hotpot?”

Knowing that Li Yuhuan was deliberately trying to change the topic, Lei Hanping simply said, “You should be able to tell that our families are planning to set us up,”

Realizing that she couldn’t avoid this subject for long, Li Yuhuan sighed. Lei Hanping had asked her if she wanted to give the arranged marriage a try when they were touring her household yesterday. At that time, Li Yuhuan had changed the topic, but now… She smiled, “Fourth Brother, I believe that a man of your caliber is not lacking in women, am I wrong? With a swift wave of your hand, all the ladies would come running for you to choose,”

“I have plenty of options when it comes to women,” Lei Hanping looked at her, his eyes remained calm, “But I’m short of a woman as intelligent as you,”

Li Yuhuan didn’t reply.

She felt that they wouldn’t make a compatible couple. She was the princess of her family, had been pampered ever since she was young, and had great expectations for the life she wanted. Lei Hanping, on the other hand, was a soldier. Soldiers were supposedly thoughtless, unromantic, and unconcerned about the trivialities in life, which was why she didn’t believe that they would make a good match.

Of course, after spending a small amount of time with the man, Li Yuhuan realized that Lei Hanping wasn’t as bad as she first thought he was. He was smart. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, he was not a man that was easy to sway, and his aura was so strong that he could make people’s knees weak with just a glance. If they ended up together, Li Yuhuan feared she might screw them up.

She doesn’t want to be in a relationship where she would constantly worry.

…

For the first time, Li Yuhuan took the initiative to ask her mother for a blind date after returning home from her “date” with Lei Hanping. The guy her mother set her up with had just returned from abroad. If things worked out between them, she might even be able to relocate overseas after their marriage. This way, it would be easier for Li Yuhuan to continue her career.

After they chatted for a while, Li Yuhuan excused herself to the washroom. However, on her way back, she didn’t expect to run into Lei Hanping.

The tall man was half-leaning against the wall with a cigarette between his fingers as if he had been waiting for her.

“Fourth Brother? What a coincidence. Are you here to eat too?” Seeing the same man twice today, Li Yuhuan couldn’t help but sigh at the magic of fate.

Looking at Li Yuhuan, Lei Hanping could see the distinct delicate beauty of Jiangnan women in her appearance tonight. She had a slender figure with curves, all in the right places. To show off the significance of her upbringing, she had especially worn a slim black dress for this blind date. Her round, white shoulders were exposed by the off-shoulder dress. The black silk of her dress hugged her body and stopped right above her knees, revealing a very lovely set of long and slim legs, which made her look beautiful.

When Li Yuhuan had lunch with him earlier that day, she only wore a casual outfit. But when she was having dinner with another man… She was sexy and seductive?

Lei Hanping’s adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he stared at Li Yuhuan from head to toe. He said in a gravelly tone, “I’m attending a gathering of comrades. What about you?”

“I’m here to eat with a friend,” Li Yuhuan smiled and naturally tucked her hair behind her ear.

‘Dinner with a friend?’ Lei Hanping, who had already investigated her situation, chuckled. He pulled open the opening of his shirt to relieve the tightness in his throat. Lei Hanping was unable to maintain his composure as well as he did during the day. Whether it was due to the alcohol, or the fact he knew that the woman in front of him was lying, he wasn’t so sure.

“You little liar,” He grabbed Li Yuhuan’s arm, kicked open the closest private room door, and pressed her against the wall as soon as they entered. With the cigarette still in his mouth, he looked at her surprised face with a frivolous look and smiled, “I’ve already sent the man in your room home. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you go and take a look?”

Li Yuhuan was speechless.

Lei Hanping’s broad palm caressed her flat abdomen. There wasn’t much space between them. The hot air and the smell of alcohol wafted against her neck, causing goosebumps to stand on her nape. He asked, “Are you full? If not, why don’t you join me for dinner?”
