4598 Never Too Late to Love (5)

Bai Sheng raised her head in a daze and met the man’s pitiful gaze.

It was him? The man who was sitting diagonally in front of her just then…

This was a gentleman with handsome facial features and a well-defined profile. He wore a faint smile, and bore a hint of feminine beauty. However, because of this extraordinary smile, he looked perfect all-up.

She was a little surprised by the handkerchief he was holding out, but she still thanked him politely and took it.

How embarrassing. Being down and out in a café with so many people and in such a quiet atmosphere, she must have become a laughing stock in everyone’s eyes.

“May I sit down?” The man did not leave, and instead asked calmly.

Bai Sheng did not reject his request and nodded lightly. “Yes, have a seat.”

The man sat down in front of her and at this point, Bai Sheng’s phone suddenly rang. She picked up her phone and saw that it was an unknown number. The moment the call connected, a man’s furious voice could be heard from the other end, “Jiang Bai Sheng! You embarrassed me today. Be prepared that I will not let you have an easy time from now on! I don’t think you should go home anytime soon. Your aunt said that if the blind date didn’t work out tonight, she’d chase you out with a broom!” With that, the man hung up angrily.

Bai Sheng hung up with a cold expression. The man opposite her appeared slightly stunned, however. She pursed her lips, feeling even more embarrassed.

“Your name is Bai Sheng?” The man suddenly asked.

Bai Sheng was a little surprised and finally sized him up seriously. She was puzzled by the man’s surprised tone and asked, “Have we… met before?”

“Oh, nothing.” The man’s lips curled in a slight smile. At this point, the waiter walked up to them to serve the coffee.

Bai Sheng asked, “Are you waiting for someone?”

“Uh huh.”

The man looked out the window. “Just like you.”

“Like me?” Bai Sheng found it rather hard to believe. “You know why I came to the cafe?”

“Blind date, isn’t it?” There was a look of understanding on the man’s handsome face. “But it seems like you were forced?”

“Uh huh…” Bai Sheng’s tears had gradually dried up, but she was in low spirits. When she thought about going home and having to face her aunt’s fury, she felt as if a huge rock was crushing her.

The man ordered coffee again. Seeing her disappointed expression, he asked, “Coincidentally, I’m alone too. Am I interrupting?”

“It’s fine, I don’t mind…” For a moment, Bai Shengsheng could not think of where else she could go. She certainly could not return home for the time being. She just wanted to sit quietly for a while.

“Where are your parents?” The man suddenly asked.

Bai Sheng said quietly, “They died in a car accident when I was very young. Only later on did Grandmother mention that my mother was pregnant at that time. Actually, not only did I lose my parents, I also lost a younger brother or sister.” For some reason, chatting with this man made her feel very relaxed. Hence, on this topic, it was as if she was venting her grievances. She poured out all the grief and pain she had suffered since she was young.

Bai Sheng took a sip of coffee and continued with a bitter smile, “I never thought that Aunt would treat me like this. Using me to exchange for a house for my cousin. It’s too cruel and too bloody! I know that she has always despised me. She despises me for being a burden, but I did not expect her to be so ruthless!”
