It was a good day in April in Jiang City. The spring breeze was warm and the sun was shining brightly.
On the street at the entrance of the coffee shop, a maroon BMW was parked by the side. Inside the car, Jin Xiaoling was staring at the man by the window with a pair of military binoculars. He asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
In the driver's seat, Gu Shengxiao looked up in the man's direction, then stared at the photo in her hand and said, "Yes, it's him!"
Hearing that, Jin Xiaoling put down the binoculars, pulled down the mirror in front of him, and tidied his hair. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the makeup on his face, he pulled the mirror over and was ready to open the door and get out of the car.
Gu Shengxiao reached out to hold her hand. Looking at her, she asked worriedly, "Commander Jin, are you sure you want to go in?"
Jin Xiaoling looked at her and asked after a while, "So you're going to go in by yourself?"
Gu Shengxiao was a little hesitant. It was reasonable for her to go in. After all, she was the heroine of today's blind date.
Seeing how hesitant she was, Jin Xiaoling leaned back into his seat and said deliberately, "If you're not afraid that Lin Yixiang will find out..."
"You, you'd better go in quickly." Hearing that she was talking about Lin Zixiang, Gu Shengxiao said with no backbone, "Ying Xian is 33 years old, and he is the youngest son of the Ying family. I only know so much. I wish you a successful blind date!"
"You're so kind." Jin Xiaoling was annoyed and amused. He didn't leave her behind most of the time. He opened the car door and headed straight for the coffee shop.
After entering the coffee shop, Jin Xiaoling saw the man sitting by the window. His upright posture made her feel as if they had known each other before.
She tugged at her clothes and took a deep breath as she walked towards the window.
Jin Xiaoling was reading the news on her phone when she reached the appointed location. Noticing her arrival, she raised her head and stared straight at her.
"You're a man of your word?" Jin Xiaoling didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he stood there and sized him up.
At such a close distance, Jin Xiaoling found that his skin color was darker than that of ordinary people, as if he had been out in the sun all the year round. His nose was very high, which made his whole face look particularly three-dimensional. With the standard brush cut, he was not handsome, but he was in line with the so-called handsome man. However, he seemed to be more masculine and righteous than others.
Ying Qingcang nodded and stood up from his seat. He extended his hand politely to her and said, "Hello, Miss Gu."
Jin Xiaoling reached out to shake his hand and then sat down opposite him.
She sat down as well and looked at Jin Xiaoling without saying a word.
In fact, after the age of thirty, his family had been urging him to get married. Every time he came back for a blind date, it was almost a necessary task for him. Every time the old man and his elder sister at home would find a good girl for him, and he only needed to nod and confirm one.
Jin Xiaoling had never had a blind date, so he really didn't know what to say. However, in addition to a blind date for Gu Shengxiao today, her purpose was very clear. She wanted to get the man in front of her!
Just as Jin Xiaoling was thinking about what to say, the waiter came up with a glass of water. "Miss, what would you like to drink?"
As she spoke, the other hand handed her the f*ck.
Jin Xiaoling didn't even open it. He pushed it back to her and said, "A cup of vanilla with iron. I don't need anything else."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter smiled and left.
After the waiter left, Jin Xiaoling nervously took a sip of water.
Ying Qingcang seemed to have seen through her nervousness. He looked at her with a slight smile and asked, "Is this Miss Gu's first blind date?"
Hearing his question, Jin Xiaoling subconsciously asked, "Mr. Ying, from your tone of voice, you've seen a lot of each other."
Ying Qingcang shrugged his shoulders and smiled. He didn't say anything else.
In fact, after asking Jin Xiaoling in this way, he felt that his question was a little mean. He took a sip of water and touched his hair awkwardly. When he looked at Ying Qingcang, he said, "I, I mean, Mr. Ying, it's indeed time to get married at your age."
Upon hearing this, she asked in reply, "So Miss Gu, do you think I'm too old?"
Jin Xiaoling felt that his IQ was at a negative level today. From the very beginning, he had never spoken a single word to the right person.
She didn't dare to look him in the eye. What she said was like a splash of water, so she couldn't take it back. Since she couldn't take it back, she had to bite the bullet and said, "I think mature men are more charming."
Ying Qingcang couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't because she was praising him, but because it was more interesting to see her trying so hard to smooth things over.
Seeing his smile, Jin Xiaoling heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't want to ruin their relationship as soon as they met. After all, the purpose of today's blind date on behalf of Gu Shengxiao was to get this man as soon as possible.
There were not many people in the coffee shop at this time, and soothing music was very suitable for blind dates. When Jin Xiaoling was holding a cup of water and thinking about how to say it, the waiter came up with coffee. He didn't waste any more time. After putting down the coffee for Jin Xiaoling, he said, "Please enjoy it." Then he left immediately.
Jin Xiaoling looked at the coffee in front of her. Because of her personality, she didn't like to beat around the bush, so she couldn't think of more tactful words. Thinking of this, she looked up at Ying Qingcang and asked, "Mr. Ying, do you have any requirements for the other half of the company?"
Hearing her question, he put down the cup in his hand and looked at her, saying, "There's nothing special about that."
"Do you think I'm suitable for you?" Jin Xiaoling looked at him, blinking her big eyes.
She was so direct that Ying Qingcang was stunned for a moment. He was completely surprised that she would ask so straightforwardly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jin Xiaoling continued to ask, "Is it inappropriate? Why don't you say that I can change it?"
His eager manner of expressing his attitude made Ying Yan feel a little surprised that he had been in the army for too long and had not seen any woman for a long time. Had the girl taken the initiative to do so?
"Cough cough..." After a few light coughs, she looked at Jin Xiaoling and said, "Isn't it too fast for you to ask that question now? We seem to have just met for the first time."
Jin Xiaoling didn't think much of it and said, "Isn't a blind date just to get married? Since we have the same goal, there's no need to put on airs during the process."
She didn't know what to say. What she said seemed to make sense, but she also felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that he didn't know what to say, Jin Xiaoling sat down, stared into Ying Qingcang's eyes, and said, "So why don't we get married?"
