After that, Zhang Junhua didn’t continue interrogating her.
But Fang Xihe knew the matter wouldn’t pass so easily.
Since it had already come to this, she simply washed Shang Chenzhou’s clothes and hung them up to dry, blatantly displaying them on the balcony.
Zhang Junhua noticed it and her brow twitched, but she held back from saying anything.
The next morning after breakfast, Fang Xihe was dragged to a matchmaking agency.
Zhang Junhua talked with the agency staff for over an hour.
Bored, Fang Xihe picked at her fingernails.
She thought about messaging Shang Chenzhou.
But then she realized she couldn’t let him know about this, so she put the phone down again.
The staff brought out more than ten personal profiles.
“Miss Fang, we’ve selected these blind date candidates for you. They’re all very suitable. If you agree, we can arrange meetings immediately.”
Under her mother’s threatening gaze, Fang Xihe had no choice but to agree.
After leaving the matchmaking agency, Zhang Junhua said, “I paid a lot of membership fees for you. You better go on these blind dates properly.”
Fang Xihe nodded perfunctorily. “Got it.”
The agency worked fast—they arranged two blind dates that same night at the same restaurant.
One at 6:30 p.m., and another at 7:00 p.m., considering her work schedule.
The next day.
As soon as she got off work, Fang Xihe rushed to the restaurant.
The first blind date was even shorter than her, wearing rimless glasses and looking greasy.
When he saw her, his eyes lit up.
“Miss Fang, you look even prettier in person than in your photo.”
Fang Xihe forced a smile.
She really wanted to say he looked much uglier than his photo—the picture was heavily edited and didn’t match reality at all.
“Miss Fang, let me state my conditions,” the man said immediately.
Who gave him the confidence to start with demands?
Still smiling, she gestured politely. “Please go ahead.”
He pushed up his rimless glasses.
“I’m a local of Jiangcheng, only child, two houses, two cars, stable job. Someone like me is very popular in the matchmaking market.”
Fang Xihe asked flatly, “How popular?”
The glasses man froze.
After a pause, he said, “Anyway, I’m very sought after.”
Fang Xihe: “Oh. I can’t really imagine how sought after you are. Could you give an example?”
He was speechless again.
“This… this isn’t the point…”
“Then what is the point?”
“You… don’t keep interrupting me.”
“Oh, go on.”
He cleared his throat. “I’ve seen your profile. Honestly, it’s very average. If not for your photo and thinking you’re somewhat attractive, I wouldn’t have come at all.”
Fang Xihe laughed in anger.
“Funny, I only came because of your photo too. I thought you were tall and handsome. But…”
She looked him up and down and sighed.
His expression immediately changed.
“What do you mean?”
“Mismatch. Disappointed. I think I’ll file a complaint with the agency later.”
The man stood up angrily and left.
Fu Tang didn’t expect to see Fang Xihe here.
He darkened his expression and sent the video he just recorded to Shang Chenzhou.
Fang Xihe…
He knew this woman was unreliable.
She was already married to Shang Chenzhou and still came on blind dates.
She must think he’s poor now and is looking for a better option.
How disgusting.
He sent another video after the second blind date, trying to make sure Shang Chenzhou would finally see the truth.
The second blind date was even more outrageous.
He demanded she give birth to three children immediately, one of them must be a boy, otherwise she would have to keep trying.
He also said she must quit her job after marriage and stay home to serve his parents and raise children.
When Fang Xihe asked about finances—whether she could manage the bank card or have her name added to property—the man frowned.
“What are you thinking? That’s my premarital property. Impossible to add your name. Letting you live there is already generous.”
“My salary is managed by my mother. I don’t trust giving it to an outsider like you. If you need something, report it and I’ll transfer money.”
“And my parents raised me with great difficulty. After marrying me, you must respect and serve them well.”
Fang Xihe didn’t even want to speak anymore.
These people were all insane.
She stood up and left immediately.
The man was still shouting behind her.
Fu Tang watched the video and sneered.
Serves you right.
At another table, the woman across from Fu Tang finally snapped and slapped the table.
“You’re still asking me what’s wrong?!”
Fu Tang froze. “What did I do?”
“You’re still pretending? You kept staring at that woman and even filmed her!”
“I filmed her so what?”
The woman slapped him hard and left.
Fu Tang was completely stunned.
What the hell just happened?
Meanwhile, Fang Xihe left the subway station and walked toward her apartment.
She hadn’t eaten enough and was already irritated from the blind dates.
As she reached the building, she saw Shang Chenzhou.
He stood in the shadows, tall and distant, his gaze unreadable as he looked at her.
Her heart tightened.
She walked over nervously. “Why are you back?”
He stared at her as if trying to see through her completely.
She felt even more guilty.
She quickly grabbed his arm. “Have you eaten? I haven’t eaten yet either. Let’s go out together.”
He finally spoke.
“You haven’t eaten?”
“No, I worked overtime. I’m starving.”
He gave a faint, cold smile and walked toward the restaurant.
They went to a noodle shop.
He ordered two bowls of noodles and said nothing.
Fang Xihe kept stealing glances at him.
Something was wrong today—he felt cold from head to toe.
Did he find out about the blind dates?
No way… that unlucky?
Her phone suddenly rang.
It was Zhang Junhua.
