Chapter 2532 - 2533: You Did This Just to Avoid the Blind Date, Didn’t You?

"Why, why are you only arriving now? Was the road very congested?" Qin Qian stuttered as she spoke, truly caught off guard by Gu Mian’s unexpected appearance.

"Not really." Gu Mian calmly nodded and then enthusiastically glanced at Chen Chao, who was sitting there silently, and nodded graciously, "Hello, Young Master Chen."

"Hello." Chen Chao curved into a slight smile and wasn’t surprised by Gu Mian’s appearance.

Sitting beside Chen Chao was his mother, who often saw Gu Mian. Today, seeing her dressed like this indeed piqued her curiosity, leading her to smile, "Xiaomian, are you in a good mood today, putting on such a beautiful makeup."

Chen Chao’s mother was always quite gracious and had a good relationship with Qin Qian. Naturally, she wouldn’t show Gu Mian any disrespect.

"Not bad, Aunt Wei." Gu Mian politely smiled too, "Usually at work, we’re not allowed to put on too much makeup. After a long time, I now quite feel like dressing up a bit. Aunt Wei thinks this makeup looks good, right? I think it’s beautiful and pretty. I’ll put it on like this from now on."

Even though Aunt Wei was classy and polite and maintained a good relationship with Qin Qian, she couldn’t help but turn slightly green upon hearing Gu Mian’s words, and then gently said, "But Mianmian, Aunt Wei thinks you look better without makeup."

Gu Mian blinked, "Really?"

Then frowned, "But I think this looks good!"

Aunt Wei didn’t know what to say.

Chen Chao laughed nearby and straightforwardly said, "Gu Mian, you deliberately dressed like this because you didn’t want the blind date, right?"

Chen Chao and Gu Mian weren’t strangers to each other; they knew each other.

Chen Chao was slightly older than Gu Mian, and their families were quite connected, so they were naturally considered acquaintances. It’s just that Chen Chao went abroad to study six years ago and recently returned.

He was rather handsome, at least with well-defined features and no major flaws, and both his family background and personal circumstances matched well with Gu Mian.

Hearing Chen Chao’s words, Gu Mian suddenly felt embarrassed because someone as smart as Chen Chao surely understood the subtext.

Being straightforward was only because the families were already familiar with each other, so there was no need to complicate things.

But having the truth exposed, Gu Mian still felt a bit awkward and could only dryly laugh, "No way, I just thought this looked good, perhaps my taste is garbage."

Chen Chao laughed again, kindly saying, "Since you’re here, we might as well eat."

Aunt Wei was intuitive as well, glanced at the two, and gently chided, "Look at these two kids."

Qin Qian awkwardly laughed and then sighed to Aunt Wei, "The kids have grown up, can’t control them anymore."

"Exactly." Aunt Wei pursed her lips, "But since we’re all here, let’s eat together. You two can chat afterward."

Neither Aunt Wei nor Chen Chao minded Gu Mian’s outfit. Gu Mian outwardly responded cheerfully, "Sure, let’s eat first, I’m hungry too."

Meanwhile, internally she was swearing terribly, damn it, why didn’t Aunt Wei and Chen Chao criticize her a bit!

See, this is the trouble with blind dates among familiar families, truly exasperating!

After the dishes were served, Chen Chao slowly said, "Gu Mian, was I right?"

Gu Mian froze, "Huh, what?"

"You don’t want to have a blind date with me." Chen Chao laughed, and he looked rather handsome when he smiled.

Gu Mian: "..."
