After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shiyi quickly apologized.

She glanced at her husband across the table; he was genuinely angry.

As a foodie herself, she could completely understand that she had indeed overeaten.

Fu Cheng, sitting opposite her, remained silent with a cold expression. He no longer believed this woman's nonsense about "the air in the garage being bad, so why not go to the supermarket instead" and "I'm just here to eat with you."

The atmosphere became awkwardly quiet for a moment.

Just then, Lu Shiyi's phone rang.

It was just the right time, not too early, not too late. She put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone from the corner of the table to answer the call.

"Hey, Tang Tang."

Lu Shiyi got up and went to the balcony.

"Fang Mingyu? He asked you about me?" Lu Shiyi was a little surprised to hear this. She thought she had made her stance very clear yesterday.

"I happen to be near your neighborhood right now. Why don't you come with me to the art exhibition? I'll tell you more about it then."

Lu Shiyi thought about it and decided that it was better to go out now, so that her husband wouldn't have to see her and she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyi walked back to the dining table. By then, Fu Cheng had almost finished eating; to be specific, he had finished the little food left.

This was one of the few times he experienced eating simply to fill his stomach.

While clearing the table, Lu Shi said, "Mr. Fu, Tang Tang invited me to an art exhibition. What would you like to eat for dinner? I'll bring it back for you."

She and her best friend will definitely eat out after seeing the art exhibition, so they won't cook dinner at home.

Fu Cheng frowned slightly. "Don't worry about me."

He has a lot of things to do and won't be eating dinner at home.

Besides, he didn't expect her to bring him dinner; if she did, who knows who would eat it.

Lu Shiyi didn't ask any more questions, finished packing and went out.

When she arrived at the entrance of the residential area, her best friend was already waiting by the roadside.

After getting in the car, Lu Shiyi asked her friend, "What did Fang Mingyu ask you about me?"

Tang Yiran didn't answer directly. She turned to look at Lu Shiyi, her face filled with apology, "Shiyi, I'm sorry..."

Lu Shiyi's heart tightened. "What's wrong? Did you tell him about my situation?"

Tang Yiran quickly waved her hand, "No way, am I the kind of person who would side with outsiders?"

Lu Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why did you apologize to me when everything was fine?"

Tang Yiran said pitifully, "It's because I asked you to accompany me on this blind date that we got into this trouble. Eleven, I'm so sorry. If you want to get revenge, from now on, you can exploit me however you want, I don't care, I will never say no."

Looking at her friend's pitiful expression, Lu Shiyi couldn't help but laugh. "What are you getting angry about? It's not that serious. Besides, it's a fair trade. You watch the study hall for me, and I'll accompany you on your blind date. It's fair and reasonable."

Tang Yiran pouted, blinked her clear and bright eyes, and looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Lu Shiyi sensed something was wrong. "What exactly did he ask you about me?"

"He asked me about your marital status. Of course, I didn't tell him, but he guessed it himself."

"You figured it out yourself?" Lu Shiyi asked, somewhat puzzled. "Does it have 'flash marriage' written all over my face?"

Tang Yiran shook her head. "He said that you didn't even wear your wedding ring on your wedding day, and there must be some hidden reason behind it. He wants to find out. If you are happy, he will naturally give up. But if he finds out that your marriage is just a compromise, he will fight to the end."

Lu Shiyi glanced at her bare hands, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes. A wedding ring should be a basic expectation for every woman when she enters into marriage with her partner.

After a brief silence, she smiled faintly. "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Just because I wasn't wearing a ring? Some people don't wear their rings on the second day after their wedding. Didn't he ever consider that maybe it's just a personal habit of mine?"

Tang Yiran chimed in, "Maybe this is just an excuse he's making to keep going because he's unwilling to give up. I could tell at dinner yesterday that he must have pursued you before."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi looked at his friend with some concern, "Then you don't mind?"

"Tch, why would I care? We don't even like each other. This has nothing to do with blind dates anymore. It's you who's in it. You and your husband didn't have much of an emotional foundation to begin with. If he keeps causing trouble, wouldn't I be the one who ruins your marriage?"

Lu Shiyi smiled and glanced at her friend, "Don't put any labels on yourself. When a problem arises, just find a way to solve it. It's nothing."

Seeing her friend so calm and collected, Tang Yiran breathed a sigh of relief. "That's why I feel so at ease and at ease as long as you're here."

Lu Shiyi pointed to her fair arm, "Look how cheesy you are, it's giving me goosebumps."

Tang Yiran raised her hand and slapped her friend's arm, "You're the one who's being cheesy... By the way, I've already blocked him, so you don't have to worry about him getting any information out of me."

"Won't blocking me have any impact? Weren't you introduced by a middleman in the business world?" Lu Shiyi asked with some concern.

Tang Yiran said with a smile, "What's the big deal? The end result of a failed blind date is that we block each other. Besides, I told him before I blocked him, and he agreed."

“That’s true.” In this respect, Lu Shiyi was much more experienced than her best friend.

"But what about your aunt? Your blind date fell through this time, so she'll probably pressure you even more in the future."

Tang Yiran spread her hands, "There's nothing I can do about that. My destined person is just too slow to show up. He's probably still somewhere helping an old lady cross the street, saving up his luck. Otherwise, how would he have run into this little cutie like me?~"

Lu Shiyi was amused by her friend, "Then I must have done too few good deeds in the past..."

After saying that, they both burst into laughter.

After finishing this topic, Tang Yiran started the car and headed to the art exhibition.

Although Lu Shiyi majored in science and engineering, he also had some knowledge of calligraphy and painting.

During her university years, driven by curiosity, she often audited various courses that interested her.

She met her best friend Tangtang while auditing classes.

After they got to know each other better, Tang Yiran discovered that Lu Shiyi was the only true master of time management she had ever met.

Attending classes, working part-time, auditing classes, joining clubs, serving in the student union, volunteering... she did everything that was possible in college, except for dating!

In the past, Lu Shiyi always liked to hear her best friend praise her as an amazing time management master, and she accepted it with great humility.

But at some point, she stopped wanting to hear those words.

After graduation, her best friend would often ask her to accompany her to art exhibitions and such. After a while, she would also be able to discuss some of the topics with her.

After arriving at the exhibition hall, the two of them tacitly focused on looking at the paintings.

When one abandons all distractions and focuses solely on the painting before them, it's as if they've entered a completely new world where nothing and no one can disturb their peace of mind.

Lu Shiyi really liked this kind of purity.

Therefore, every time she spends time with her friends, she truly enjoys it, rather than simply keeping them company.
