Free Web NovelChapter 1591: Chapter 1048: Honest Conversation (Part 2)
At this moment, Liu Meijun was feeling anxious. The man sitting opposite her, over six feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was her type. Unfortunately, he had been silent, which made her feel increasingly uneasy.
After introducing the two of them, Director Liu excused herself and left, leaving them to chat alone in the office. As a result, from the time Director Liu left until now, it had been ten minutes, and the two had just been sitting there quietly.
Liu Meijun sneaked a glance at Liu Jianfeng, and saw that he was also staring at her. She felt caught out and her face turned red up to her ears.
"What do you think of me?"
Liu Jianfeng finally spoke, but his straightforward question left Liu Meijun unsure of what to say. Is this how you ask such a question? If she said she liked him, it would seem too forward. If she said she didn’t, it would be insincere...
Fortunately, before she could answer, Liu Jianfeng continued: "I have a pretty good impression of you. Both your looks and personality are what I like. If you’re willing, let’s just establish our relationship."
"..." Liu Meijun stared straight at him, her mind almost in a mess. His approach, first straightforward and now rash to the extreme, after only a few words and ten-odd minutes, he wanted to confirm the relationship... She really didn’t know how to respond.
"Fine, if you don’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes..." Liu Jianfeng glanced at the clock on the wall and stood up, "If Aunt Liu hadn’t spoken so definitively, I would have postponed this a few days. I have a training session tonight, so I can’t stay long..." He pulled out a few food coupons from his pocket and placed them in front of Liu Meijun, "I should treat you to a meal, but the timing isn’t right. Please go by yourself, as a man, I must treat. If you refuse, I won’t like you."
Liu Meijun: "..."
She sat there for a long time until Liu Jianfeng left the room, and it took a while for her brain to start functioning again. This blind date was really beyond her understanding. How could there be such an arrogant person in the world? She hadn’t said anything, yet he assumed she agreed!
She wanted to call Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong to vent, but worried that Director Liu might suddenly return and catch her. Helplessly, she pressed down her frustration and waited for Director Liu to come back.
...
As Luo Xiaoqiong watched Liu Meijun coming in, let in by Li Aiyuan, she looked her up and down and asked with a smile, "Are you here to share the good news from an exceptionally satisfying blind date?"
"Which of your eyes saw that I was extremely satisfied?" Liu Meijun couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "I’ve really broadened my horizons..." She then recounted the blind date with Liu Jianfeng and said, "Do you think there’s something wrong with this guy’s brain?"
"What did Director Liu say?"
Liu Meijun sighed, "Why I’ve rushed over this late is because if I don’t talk about it tonight, I’d drive myself crazy!
After I told Director Liu about Liu Jianfeng’s behavior, she was actually very happy and said I should be pleased that Liu Jianfeng recognized someone so well.
She also said Liu Jianfeng is straightforward by nature. If he likes it, he likes it; if not, he doesn’t. He wouldn’t beat around the bush like others. She said life with someone like him is worry-free, and you don’t have to worry about being schemed against.
She patted my shoulder earnestly and said not to miss this opportunity. She said she wasn’t trying to interfere, just afraid I’d make the wrong choice by being too impulsive when I’m young.
The implication of her words was clearly urging me to end up with Liu Jianfeng. But the problem is, I can’t find any reason to be with him. Yes, his appearance and height are indeed what I like, but with this personality, I just can’t come to like him. If you were me, could you like him?"
Luo Xiaoqiong frowned, "So what you’re saying is, Director Liu set you up with Liu Jianfeng deliberately? If you don’t agree, could she make life difficult for you later?"
"Not really..." After hesitating a bit, Liu Meijun sounded unsure, "From what I know of Director Liu, she isn’t that kind of person, but today’s events are indeed troubling me."
"What are your own thoughts?"
"My thoughts?" Liu Meijun’s eyes showed some confusion, "I’m not really sure. It’s not like I absolutely dislike him, it’s just... I don’t appreciate his attitude towards me."
"Looking at you, it seems you still have some feelings for Liu Jianfeng, so why not spend some time with him first? If it really doesn’t work out, then break up. If Director Liu gives you a hard time then, seek Chuxia’s help."
Sighing, Liu Meijun said, "That’s all I can do. It’s getting late, I’m leaving now. Call Chuxia later and tell her, I can’t make calls to her from the office about this."
"Alright, alright, rest assured, I’ve got this covered. But it’s too unsafe for you to go home alone so late. How about calling home and not going back?"
Liu Meijun shook her head with a bitter smile, "The old guy in our reception has a voice so loud. I’d better go back, lest everyone in the hospital knows I didn’t return home tonight. You know, many people would be envious of my position, and I’m indifferent, but I don’t want to upset my parents because of it."
"Then I’ll walk you home," Li Aiyuan offered, turning to her daughter-in-law, "Make sure to lock the door from inside, and don’t open it for anyone but your mom."
Luo Xiaoqiong: "..." Her mother-in-law was treating her like a three-year-old child again... (To be continued.
