Chapter 7 Scare Off the Target (1)

***

Feng Qinglang finally understood that the woman before him had made a mistake regarding her blind date target; she hadn't intended to strike up a conversation with him on purpose.

I mean, come on, looking at her demeanor, she doesn't seem like the type to accost a handsome guy just because she sees one.

"Haha, you're here for a blind date, how amusing! However, Mai Zi, I must tell you, you've got the wrong person. I'm not Chen Dadao, and neither is he. But you know, you could have a blind date with me, I am still a bachelor, and I'm not too bad-looking. You seem quite my type too. As for that Chen Dadao, let him be. What do you say?"

Feng Qinglang laughed heartily.

Mai Xiaomai looked at the rose in Qiao Chutian's hand with suspicion, "Really, it's not you? Then, why do you have the rose, the token of the blind date?"

Before she could finish her sentence, a faint scent of perfume drifted from behind her, followed by an extremely sweet voice, "Chutian, you got here early? I'm sorry, I was caught in a bit of traffic and got here a little late."

A woman in a goose-yellow dress, with jet-black hair cascading to her waistline, tall and with beautifully proportioned features, elegantly made up, looking fresh and genteel, stepped out from behind her. She walked up to Qiao Chutian, her extremely standard oval face beaming with a soft, happy smile.

Qiao Chutian's usually stoic face melted into a smile the moment he saw her.

Undeniably, his smile did have a great deal of masculine charm, causing Xiaomai to think of the word "sexy."

However, that smile wasn't for her; it was intended for the woman in front of him, who seemed extremely delicate and beautiful.

It seemed she really had mistaken him for someone else.

The man holding the rose was simply intending to give it to his girlfriend, not signaling a blind date.

She had actually made such a blunder of mistaking someone's identity, which was truly embarrassing.

She then smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I really mistook you for someone else!"

At that moment, she saw another man holding a red rose, who had found a seat and sat down, checking his watch with a look that was a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Following her intuition, she thought that man must be her actual blind date target.

So she hurriedly left the table where Qiao Chutian was seated.

"Chutian, who is she?"

Lin Na asked with a guarded look as she watched Mai Xiaomai's tall figure retreat.

"She mistook someone for another,"

Qiao Chutian explained, "a mere passerby."

"Oh!"

Seeing Qiao Chutian's indifferent attitude towards that woman, Lin Na relaxed her guard, taking the red rose he offered with a blissful smile, and indulged in its scent like spring blossoms in bloom.

"Alright, I won't play the third wheel here. I'll just go and sit alone on the other side,"

Feng Qinglang stood up, knowing when to bow out.

"Mr. Feng, it's fine, you're not an outsider. Haven't we often hung out together before? It's been a long time since the three of us sat down and had a chat!"

Lin Na said sweetly.

"Haha, I was untactful before, but not anymore. I'll find a spot to sit and see if there are any beauties to mingle with,"

As he spoke, Feng Qinglang's gaze followed Mai Xiaomai as she walked towards the other man.

He took a seat not far from Mai Xiaomai.

This time, facing the man with the red rose, Mai Xiaomai dared not be so presumptuous.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Chen Dadao?"

She asked politely.

The man in front of her was passable, with neat short hair, a square face, appropriately dressed, blending into the crowd at an average level.

However, compared to the two men she had just encountered, he was not in the same league.
