Du's mother calmly watched her daughter act crazy, clearly used to it. From childhood to adulthood, Du Yueqing never missed a morning without throwing a little tantrum.

When her daughter was little, Du's mother thought that she shouldn't spoil her temper.

I tried everything – coaxing, scolding, lecturing – but in the end, I found the only solution was to calmly watch her go crazy.

Anyway, I'll feel better once this drowsiness passes.

Look, Du Yueqing, who came out again, was all smiles.

After Du Yue finished washing up and putting on makeup, she came out and saw the meal her mother had prepared on the table.

She immediately became incredibly sweet-talking, saying, "Mom made so many delicious things for me this morning. Mom is definitely the best. Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

After saying that, she gently hugged Yang Shujuan, and neither of them mentioned Du Yueqing's bad temper when she woke up.

Like I said before... you'll get used to it.

In fact, Du Yueqing was already late when she arrived at the restaurant.

She was a full 20 minutes late and hadn't even entered the restaurant yet, looking through the restaurant's window glass.

I could see seat number five, which my mother had mentioned, from afar.

A man had already sat down there with his back to Yueqing.

Yueqing could tell at a glance that this man was most likely the person she was supposed to meet on a blind date today.

Yueqing sighed inwardly again, her bright eyes becoming dull and lifeless.

She couldn't help but mutter with her cherry-like lips, "Sure enough, older women can't be single, otherwise all the relatives, friends, and colleagues around them will become ready-made matchmakers."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to table number five. Yueqing didn't feel embarrassed at all and said frankly:

"I'm so sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed. I made you wait for me for half an hour. I'm really sorry."

After saying that, she even tried to force a smile. Anyway, she wasn't happy about this blind date in the first place, so it would be better if she messed it up.

But when Yueqing looked up, she thought, "Huh? He looks so familiar. Oh, isn't that so-and-so? That so-and-so... isn't that the bureau chief?"

Yueqing thought hard for a moment and finally remembered that it was the young Director Su that she had met with her father.

Upon seeing that her blind date was him, Yueqing's first reaction was not about blind dating, but rather confusion.

Is the marriage market really that bad right now? Even the bureau chief is personally going on blind dates?

Or... could this person have some kind of problem? Like some kind of unusual fetish or something?

As soon as Su Qingming heard that clear and melodious voice, he knew it was her and quickly looked up.

Sure enough, I spotted a stunningly beautiful woman standing across from me, wearing a light pink blouse and an A-line skirt, looking very elegant and poised.

When Su Qingming saw that she had arrived, he quickly got up and warmly invited her to sit down.

"Teacher Du, please have a seat." Du Yueqing was engrossed in her own little world, so she obediently did as Su Qingming said.

Looking at Yueqing's silly appearance, which didn't match her looks, Su Qingming's smile gradually widened.

He then handed her the menu, saying, "Teacher Du, please see what dishes you like to eat."

"Oh..." Du Yueqing took the menu, glanced at it casually, and then named her favorite dishes.

Du Yueqing frequents this restaurant and knows it well enough to know exactly what she likes to eat without even looking at the menu.

After ordering, Yueqing finally came to her senses. Oh dear, she was so focused on ordering that she hadn't even asked what the other person wanted to eat!

"Director Su, what kind of dishes do you like to eat?" Yueqing asked belatedly.

"I don't have any particular favorites, I can eat whatever you eat."

"That's fine."

Since that's what they said, she decided not to bother.

Then the two of them just sat there, neither of them saying a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

As for Su Qingming, although he works in officialdom, he has the Su family's connections in this county, so he doesn't need to socialize much.

Su Qingming's parents had nine siblings, and by his generation, the Su family alone had more than twenty children.

Not to mention the dozen or so cousins ​​from my four aunts' families.

As the youngest brother in the family, Su Qingming didn't have any special requirements from his older siblings, as long as he didn't do anything illegal.

The Su family is united, which is why Su Qingming can "not do his proper job" in this small county town.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Su Qingming quickly took the initiative to find a topic so that the two could start getting to know each other better.

"What does Teacher Su like the most?" First, find out her preferences.

Du Yueqing's wandering thoughts were brought back to reality by the sound of the person opposite her.

Then, thinking carefully about what he said, what does she usually like to do?

Students? She shook her head. That was her job; she just had to do her job responsibly. It didn't matter whether she liked it or not.

Shopping? Not that much. Food? It's alright. Travel? No time. Money? I guess I only like it a tiny bit.

She counted them one by one, but she didn't feel anything; it was as if they were all missing something.

Individually, none of them particularly appeal to her, but if she could own them all at once, she would be overjoyed, so…

"I like to be able to make a fortune while lying down and playing, with wealth coming from all directions and endless riches and honors."

Glory and wealth are power, and riches are money. Isn't the purpose of life to gain money and power?

Su Qingming, who was intently watching Du Yueqing, unconsciously hummed in agreement.

Even though Su Qingming was calm and composed, his thought process couldn't keep up with Yue Qing's, and he hadn't even reacted yet.

After all, who would openly admit to liking these things?

After realizing what was happening, he thought Du Yueqing was just teasing him!

She couldn't help but chuckle. Du Yueqing noticed his serious demeanor when he wasn't laughing, but who would have guessed?

When he smiled, his eyes narrowed, as if stars were twinkling inside.

When Du Yueqing first met this man, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was so special about him that attracted her; she just felt that he had a strong presence.

However, his slight smile just now revealed a striking feature in his appearance to Du Yueqing.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Su Qingming say, "Teacher Du is really interesting."

Interesting? What was interesting about what she said? How come she doesn't know?

But she came here for a blind date, not to pry into everything.

"Where's Director Su? Why is he on a blind date? If you're going on a blind date, why wouldn't you be out in public? Shouldn't the woman come to your house for you to meet?"

Given Su Qingming's special status, any blind date would definitely involve the woman going to Su's family home for Su Qingming to assess her.

After all, people with status care a lot about their image and reputation.

Moreover, Du Yueqing didn't think her blind date with him would work out, given his high status.

Aside from being good-looking, doesn't she know what she's really like? She's petty, vain, lazy, and has a bad temper.

She was afraid that she would feel pressured in her relationship with the man in front of her.
