Zhong Rishu stumbled over her words, looking as if she had also been doing a long mental build-up.
Fanfan was slightly stunned, and Zhong Rishu could not wait for him to answer, so she thought he was angry and said “sorry” first.
Her voice was soft and apologetic.
“You misunderstood, I’m not angry, we really don’t need to meet according to the old generation’s requirements, if you have time now, I can go over to pick you up, I’ll cancel the restaurant I’ve booked, we’ll find a cafe and have a cup of coffee first.”
Fanfan said in a gentlemanly manner.
After he finished, he could clearly hear the sound of Zhong Ruishu breathing a sigh of relief at the other end of the phone.
The eyes narrowed slightly.
She seemed to be repulsed by the idea of a blind date?
In the Zhong family’s generation, there were quite a few children, but only one daughter.
Zhong Rishu is quiet and gentle, and with her filial piety, she is well liked by Old Master Zhong.
Fanfan had checked her profile in advance and saw that she had participated in quite a few events, and thought that she was just like the high-society girls, who were used to the imaginary matchmaking or marriages arising from business partnerships between the various families.
Now it seemed that he had judged too early.
This Zhong Rishu was a little different from what he had imagined.
The two of them made an appointment to meet, and Fanfan restarted the car and left from the vicinity of A University.
Zhong Ruishu didn’t really ask him to pick her up, and was considerate enough to ask him for his location, then chose a compromise meeting place based on the distance between the two.
Fanfan was used to taking care of his younger siblings, but it was the first time he had let a girl “take care” of him like that.
He drove himself and arrived earlier than Zhong Ruishu.
After taking a look at the time, he guessed that she would be there soon, so he parked the car and walked straight to the entrance of the cafe.
He didn’t go in right away, but stood right at the door and waited.
Within three minutes, a white figure, walking down the pavement, came over.
Her long black hair fell over her shoulders and down to her waist. When the wind blew, her hair and the hem of her white gauze skirt, which revealed her jacket, lifted slightly, giving her an airy feel.
Very fairy, very clean.
Fanfan had seen pictures of Zhong Rishu and recognised her from afar.
But the person who greeted her first was Zhong Ruishu.
“Sorry, I thought I would be the one to arrive first, but I didn’t expect to keep you waiting.” Her voice, just like on the phone, was soft with a touch of politeness.
“It’s okay, I didn’t hit any red lights along the way, it’s my luck that I got there early.” With one hand in the pocket of his trench coat, Fanfan pushed open the door of the cafe for Zhong Ruishu as he spoke.
In fact, he wasn’t lucky.
Rather, after knowing the distance between Zhong’s house and the cafe, calculating the time it would take her to get here, and then calculating his own location, it was easy to tell that she had deliberately chosen a place where she could arrive earlier than him.
Rather than come over and wait for him first herself.
Unfortunately, the men in the Van family are all notorious gentlemen, so there was no point in making a girl wait. Van had speeded all the way over in order to arrive before her, and had finally managed to snatch three minutes out of his time.
Thinking of this, Van Van turned his head to look at the girl beside him.
Zhong Ruishu’s features were not stunning, but only clean and pretty.
But there was a quietness about her that inexplicably reminded people of the words “out of the mud and untarnished”.
She has a very fairy-like air.
“Thank you.” Zhong Rishu walked past Fanfan and turned back to wait for him as she walked into the café.
Fanfan’s eyes flickered slightly, and seeing her fidgety appearance, he straightened up and asked the waiter to arrange a quiet seat for them.
Opening the door, he asked, “You don’t like me?”
