Summer Kiss

Chapter 73 He took off her shoes
Xie Linzhou walked up to Meng Shuyu's table and struck a pose like a boyfriend.

"Meng Shuyu, how dare you go on a blind date behind my back?"

The man sitting opposite Meng Shuyu looked up in surprise and stood up. "Sir, please do not disturb my time with Miss Meng."

When Meng Shuyu saw Xie Linzhou's face, she wanted to strangle him. She angrily pushed Xie Linzhou aside.

"Why can't I go on a blind date? We have no relationship whatsoever."

Xie Linzhou was quite angry with her. He didn't reply, but instead looked the man in front of him up and down.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie, and not only was he not as handsome as him, but more importantly, he was definitely not as rich.

The thought of Meng Shuyu dating such a man made him so angry he almost smashed the table in front of him.

His tone was harsh. "Meng Shuyu, what kind of taste do you have? How could you be interested in a man like that?"

The man's face was somewhat grim. He had risen to a senior management position in the company at a young age through his own abilities, and he believed that he was no less capable than others.

"Sir, please speak more politely. It's not your place to judge who I am."

Xie Linzhou just didn't want to see Meng Shuyu having dinner with other men. He chuckled and said, "Putting aside your looks and abilities, let's talk about dating. Can you even match me half as well?"

He cleared his throat and said without exaggeration, "After you start dating her, can you pick her up from get off work every day, rain or shine? Can you make her a loving breakfast every day?"

"Can you hand over your entire monthly salary to her? When she's angry, can you be her punching bag? When you two argue, can you swallow your pride and try to appease her?"

"If you can do these things, I'll let you two date; if you can't, please leave."

The man looked at Meng Shuyu, then at Xie Linzhou, and said bluntly, "I think you're not right in the head. You're not some kind of mentally ill person who escaped from a hospital, are you?"

After the man she was on a blind date with left, Meng Shuyu kicked Xie Linzhou hard. "Xie Linzhou, are you sick in the head? Can't stand to see me doing well?"

Xie Linzhou pointed to his own nose and sarcastically said, "Am I sick? Aren't I doing this for your own good? You can even fall for a man like that? Are you sure you'll be happy in the future?"

Meng Shuyu was immediately enraged. Xie Linzhou not only ruined her blind date, but also liked to turn the tables on her.

She snapped at him, "Who I like or who I marry is none of your business! Why are you meddling?"

Xie Linzhou touched his nose, his tone noticeably weaker, "My good intentions have been taken for granted. After all, we've shared a bed."

Mentioning this incident ignited Meng Shuyu's anger, and she kicked Xie Linzhou again.

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth, Xie Linzhou. Are you sure you can do what you just said? How dare someone like you ask others to do it?"

Xie Linzhou didn't want to lose face, so he immediately became indignant.

"Why can't I do it? If I had a girlfriend, I could definitely do it, after all, I'm a good man."

Meng Shuyu scoffed, making no attempt to hide her sarcasm, "Someone like you is a good man? Hah, do you want to make me laugh my head off?"

Xie Linzhou raised his eyebrows, exuding a sense of superiority.

"You're just jealous of me, aren't you? You can't find a good man like me."

"You won't find a woman as good as me."

Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Meng Shuyu sat back down in her chair, while Xie Linzhou stood beside her. The two of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Xie Linzhou suddenly sat down and called over a waiter.

"Take these dishes and utensils away and bring out a new dish."

Meng Shuyu glared at him fiercely and said in a harsh tone, "You're really out of your mind."

Xie Linzhou crossed his legs, looking relaxed. "I'm paying for this, what's wrong with me?" Meng Shuyu suddenly remembered a question: How did Xie Linzhou know she was here?

Who told him?

"Xie Linzhou, how did you know I was eating here?"

Xie Linzhou seemed to have forgotten Fu Xicheng's special instructions to him, and blurted out without thinking, "Fu Xicheng told me."

Mr. Fu?
Could Jiang Yuning be here too?
Meng Shuyu scanned her surroundings, trying to pull Jiang Yuning out of the crowd.

Jiang Yuning was sitting on the second floor. She seemed to realize that Meng Shuyu was looking for someone, so she quickly stood up and pulled Fu Xicheng to squat down on the ground.

Fu Xicheng was stunned by Jiang Yuning's actions.

Jiang Yuning put her index finger to her red lips and whispered, "Don't speak, don't let Meng Shuyu find out."

Fu Xicheng nodded and looked around.

Are they just going to squat on the ground like that forever?

Jiang Yuning didn't even look closely at the people around her; they were all staring at them with strange eyes.

Downstairs, Meng Shuyu looked around but couldn't find Jiang Yuning. She wondered if they had already finished eating and left.

Jiang Yuning glanced at her watch and realized she had been squatting on the ground for five minutes, and her legs felt numb.

She whispered, "Fu Xicheng, I think my feet and legs are numb."

Fu Xicheng was helpless. It was all Jiang Yuning's fault for making trouble out of nothing. He couldn't blame anyone else. However, he only dared to think these words in his heart and didn't dare to say them to her face.

Jiang Yuning returned to her original spot and glanced downstairs, where she met Meng Shuyu's gaze.

The next second, she pulled her head back and looked at Fu Xicheng, "Oh no, we've been discovered."

Fu Xicheng chuckled lightly, "What's there to be afraid of? So what if Miss Meng finds out?"

Fu Xicheng stood up and sat down next to Jiang Yuning.

He bent down and untied Jiang Yuning's shoelaces.

Jiang Yuning almost cried out in surprise. She grabbed Fu Xicheng's hand and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Fu Xicheng raised an eyebrow and placed Jiang Yuning's foot on his palm.

"Didn't you say your feet were numb? Let me massage them for you."

Jiang Yuning's feet were terribly numb, but she just wanted to recover slowly.

She said shyly, "There are people there, they can see us."

Fu Xicheng had already observed the surrounding environment, and he patted Jiang Yuning's feet.

"Don't worry, no one will see us. This is the last table, and besides, there's a tablecloth covering the area."

Jiang Yuning's cheeks flushed. She dared not make any big movements and could only let Fu Xicheng massage the soles of her feet in this position.

Fu Xicheng could tell that Jiang Yuning was embarrassed, and that was exactly the effect he wanted.

Clever as he was, he knew he could soon start asking her for interest again.

Jiang Yuning was unaware that she had fallen into a trap set by Fu Xicheng.
