"What's wrong, Miss Wang? You look a little unwell."
When Du Fei arrived at the TCM clinic, Wang Zhongling and Du Dabao were already there.
Du Dabao was working diligently, while Wang Zhongling had a long face, as if someone owed her millions.
"Yes, I'm burning with anger right now, I just want to kill someone!"
Wang Zhongling suddenly turned her head to look at Du Fei as he approached.
Du Fei was startled, then said, "Miss Wang, I beg you, don't do anything rash. China is a society governed by law. Even though we are good friends, if you really do something illegal, I can't help you."
"Um, why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Zhongling, who was initially fuming, suddenly her eyes lit up.
But Du Fei had a vague premonition that something was not right.
"Du Fei, you said yourself that we have a good relationship, and I've helped you quite a bit recently, haven't I?"
Wang Zhongling crossed her arms and scrutinized Du Fei from head to toe.
Du Fei felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze, but Wang Zhongling was not wrong. He could only nod.
*Slap!*
Wang Zhongling clapped her hands excitedly, "Then now is the time for you to repay me. But don't worry, if you help me this time, you can ask for anything in the future if you have trouble."
After work.
Du Fei said with a grimace, "Miss Wang, how about we find someone else? I think Dabao is quite good. Why don't you ask him to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"No! That guy Dabao looks like a pillar of iron. Pretending to be my boyfriend would be too perfunctory. You'd better cooperate with me later. If the act fails, I'll fight you!"
Wang Zhongling brandished her fair, delicate fist and threatened Du Fei.
Seeing the hotel entrance looming, Du Fei had no choice but to go along with it.
No wonder Wang Zhongling had looked so unhappy earlier.
It turned out her parents had introduced her to a blind date. Originally, they intended for Wang Zhongling to return home, but Wang Zhongling used Wang Qiyang as a shield, saying she wanted to spend more time with her grandfather in China.
Who knew that the blind date, for some reason, had actually returned to China to find her!
"Miss Wang, if you don't want to go on a blind date, you could have just refused. Why did you find me to pretend to be your boyfriend and lie to him?"
Du Fei asked the question in his heart.
Wang Zhongling said, "That's because you don't know my mother's temper. She calls all the shots at home. If I refused directly, she would definitely fly back to China immediately and bombard me with non-stop verbal abuse for twenty-four hours. So, to prevent this from happening, I had to agree to meet him."
"In short, just do as I say later and make this guy give up on his own. Remember, don't mess up!"
"I understand."
As they were talking, they had already entered the hotel lobby.
A uniformed attendant approached and asked what they needed.
Wang Zhongling stated her name, and the attendant immediately led them to a reserved private room.
"Hello, the two of you. This is the private room Mr. Ou reserved. He is already waiting for you inside."
The attendant led Du Fei and Wang Zhongling to the door of the private room.
Wang Zhongling nodded to the attendant, who bowed and then left.
She first linked her arm with Du Fei's, and he pushed open the door to the private room.
The person inside heard the door open and looked up towards the entrance.
However, when he saw Wang Zhongling linking arms with Du Fei and walking in, his eyes instantly became sharp.
"Ou Xiangrong, is it? Hello, I'm Wang Zhongling."
Wang Zhongling, as if not seeing his gaze, took the initiative to greet him.
Ou Xiangrong, who was the blind date introduced by Wang Zhongling's parents, smiled and said, "Miss Wang, I didn't expect you to already have a boyfriend? It seems your parents' information is a bit outdated."
"But since you're here, why don't you sit down first."
Seeing them come in together with her arm linked in Du Fei's, he could still smile and invite them to sit. Wang Zhongling instantly felt his smile was very hypocritical, clearly put on.
"Actually, we haven't been together for very long, and I haven't had time to tell my parents yet."
Wang Zhongling pulled Du Fei and sat down opposite Ou Xiangrong.
Ou Xiangrong nodded, then looked at Du Fei, "By the way, Miss Wang, aren't you going to introduce your friend here?"
"No need. Actually, I came today to tell you that I already have a boyfriend. I'll reimburse you for the round-trip plane ticket for your trouble in coming all this way. If you're not in a hurry to return, you can stay and enjoy yourself here."
Wang Zhongling refused decisively.
Ou Xiangrong rubbed his nose, "Thank you, Miss Wang, for your generosity. However, I'm returning to China this time because I plan to stay for a while and won't be going back for the time being."
*Ring ring.*
Wang Zhongling's phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was her mother calling. Wang Zhongling said she needed to step out to take a call.
Ou Xiangrong made a gesture for her to go ahead.
When Wang Zhongling left, only Du Fei and Ou Xiangrong were left in the private room.
Du Fei didn't know what Ou Xiangrong was thinking, but he felt a bit awkward. He had been brought here by Wang Zhongling to pretend to be her boyfriend, and now that she was gone, he was sitting opposite Ou Xiangrong.
"My friend, you're not Miss Wang's boyfriend, are you?"
Just as Du Fei was about to get up and leave, Ou Xiangrong opposite him suddenly spoke.
Du Fei's heart skipped a beat, then he quickly reacted and said, "Mr. Ou, what makes you say that?"
"Heh heh, I've studied a bit of psychology. When you two walked in just now, although Miss Wang was linking your arm, her body maintained a certain distance from you, and her arm-linking hand was a little stiff."
"How can a couple behave so reservedly? So I am very sure that you must be a fake boyfriend that Miss Wang found at the last minute."
Ou Xiangrong spoke eloquently, with a very confident expression on his face.
Du Fei couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up, "Mr. Ou, you have sharp eyes. I am indeed not Miss Wang's boyfriend. However, even if I'm not her boyfriend, Mr. Ou, you'll probably be disappointed, because Miss Wang has no plans to date in the short term."
Although he had been seen through, Du Fei hadn't forgotten the task Wang Zhongling had given him before they came.
Anyway, as long as he could dissuade Ou Xiangrong, it didn't matter if he was seen through.
"Actually, I'm here today entirely because of my parents' arrangement. Also, I already have a girlfriend, and our relationship is very stable, moving towards marriage."
As soon as Ou Xiangrong finished speaking, Du Fei immediately clapped his hands.
Although the situation was not exactly as he and Wang Zhongling had predicted, the objective had been achieved.
