Chapter 252 – She couldn’t deny that a pretty boy was always so loveable! (2)

“Mom, why are you doing this again?”

The last time she was forced to go on an arranged date by her mother she wasted an entire day dressing up.

Of course, it was all for nothing. And she had mistook Lu Xun as her arranged date that day!

She could just foresee now that having to experience another arranged date would be nothing short of mortifying.

Most importantly, just from eyeing the stack of photos that Ms. Lin Ping was holding in her hand, there must be at least 20 ~ 30 photos.

Did Ms. Lin Ping just filled up her entire schedule for the next month?

“I have it all figured out already. You go into work as usual on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. You have a huge company, after all, and it is bad for optics if you are gone all the time. You will go onto arranged dates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Tao Jiahui can take care of the company during these times. When push comes to shoves, I can sit in for you for a few days as well.”

Counting with her fingers, she said, “Starting this month, at three a week, you will be able to meet up with all of them by the end of the year… If not, we can always go into next year. Don’t worry, I will have them all lined up for you…”

Not just this year but they were going to go into next year as well?

The entire room fell into dead silence.

Lin Yiyi, “……”

Finally, Ms. Lin Ping asked her with a tender look, “So what do you think?”

What was she supposed to think?!

“Actually…”

Lin Yiyi tried her best to squeeze out a smile. “I think Lu Xun is quite nice.”

Lu Xun, who had been viewed as a transparent man the entire time reflexively thrusted his chest out when he heard his name, not unlike a piece of pork being sold in a market. He was short of saying, “Look at me! Look at me!”

Ms. Lin Ping gave him a look and the resentment in her eyes was stark naked.

Lu Xun, “……”

Lin Yiyi has a very strong sense of survival.

Compared to all those potential candidates that could make one’s knees weak, she already had auto-filters when it came to Lu Xun and looked at him in a much more favorable light.

Besides, it wasn’t like she had no feelings for him at all. Why else would she allow him to come over to bum dinner off her so frequently?

Truth was, she had been single for too long.

Those who had been single for a long time tended to get complacent.

She had gotten used to her current lifestyle and didn’t want anything to change. As such, she felt uncomfortable when anyone tried to get close to her.

All in all, she was happy with the way things were currently.

She was pretty and rich. She even had a son and daughter.

Speaking of, what did she need a man for?

Nevertheless, Lu Xun’s appearance had changed up her monotonous life.

He had made her realize that there were more to do in one’s life outside of routines and child-rearing.

These two conflicting thoughts were the exact reason that she had been dragging her feet.

She neither stopped him from being in her life nor did she admit to her own feelings.

Aye. She was such a conflicted woman!

She took a look at the man sitting next to her and got an anticipating look from him. That amused her. “Look, Mom, he’s not a bad looking man and he makes good money…”

“The company is not his.”

Boss Lu, “……”

Lin Yiyi carried on. “He’s a nice guy. You said so yourself before. He is much better than Meng Yan.”

Compared to Meng Yan, Lu Xun was almost as cute as an angel!

Ms. Lin Ping fell silent all of a sudden.

“Besides, you like Zhe too, right?”

Ms. Lin Ping paused a little and turned to look at Lu Mingzhe.

Lu Mingzhe, being mentioned by name, gave a docile smile reflexively.

Ms. Lin Ping, “……”

She couldn’t deny that a pretty boy was always so loveable!
