Chapter 131: A Weird Three-Person Blind Date

The melodious sound of the violin continued to play in the background inside Blues Coffee. Although he was slightly weirded out by her words, Chen Zhengchu continued to smile at the woman sitting opposite him.

Pei Ge, for her part, began to slightly regret making that suggestion when Chen Zhengchu remained very calm and unresponsive to it. Perhaps, he just did not like her enough.

He was very eligible, after all, so his expectations must also be high.

“Mr. Chen, please do not mind me; I just find you rather suitable, so I made the suggestion. I just don’t want to go on blind dates anymore,” she said, looking abashed.

“No worries. I actually feel the same—” Before he could finish his words, a cold male voice cut in.

“Pei Ge.”

This cold and low voice immediately attracted Chen Zhengchu’s attention. He lifted his head and saw a beautiful man in blue suit walking toward them.

Unlike Chen Zhengchu who had to look, Pei Ge knew who that voice belonged to without even looking.

She unhappily thought to herself, What is this annoying person coming over for?!

“Miss Pei, do you know him?” Chen Zhengchu looked at the angry-looking man, who was walking toward their table, with puzzlement. He then curiously volleyed his eyes between Pei Ge and Ji Ziming.

“Er…” Pei Ge’s face went stiff as she nodded. Lifting her head, she frowned at Ji Ziming. “I know him.”

What exactly does this annoying person want?! Didn’t I tell him that I am on a blind date?!

Ji Ziming looked at the woman sitting in the chair. She was clearly very ordinary, yet he felt an indescribable concern for her.

When she said that the man sitting opposite her was decent and suggested trying it out, he felt a sense of panic for the first time in his life.

Stab! Ji Ziming’s heart boiled with anger. He pulled a chair from this coffee table and sat next to her.

His action caused Pei Ge’s eyes to widen in shock.

Even Chen Zhengchu, who had been very calm so far, frowned.

“What are you doing?! I’m having a blind date right now!” Pei Ge hastily turned her head and angrily whispered this to Ji Ziming. As she did not want Chen Zhengchu to hear her, she leaned very closely to Ji Ziming.

Feeling her breath, the fire in Ji Ziming’s eyes began to simmer down.

Because of the alcohol earlier, his actions were more relaxed than usual.

He languidly leaned on the chair, placed his left leg on his right leg, put his elbows on the chair armrests, and crossed his hands on his thighs. Although his sitting posture looked casual, he subtly emitted an imposing aura.

He did not pay attention to her words and merely scrutinized the man sitting opposite him.

After checking the man out for a while, he snorted with disdain. What was ‘decent’ about this man? Her eyes must be blind.

This disdainful snort successfully made Chen Zhengchu unhappy.

He silently straightened up when the handsome man sitting opposite him started sizing him up with a disdainful look.

Man was a creature all about the face. No matter how good a man’s character was, he would still possess a certain level of ego.

Chen Zhengchu was actually not interested in Pei Ge and was planning to reject her plainly, but, in that instant, he changed his mind.

The corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he politely hinted, “Mister, I’m having a date with Miss Pei right now.”

Seeing that the other party was not direct, Ji Ziming was too lazy to shift his position and merely continued to wordlessly eye Chen Zhengchu.

Pei Ge watched the two men trying to stare each other down and felt a headache coming on. I shouldn’t have agreed to this blind date.

What she did not get even more was why Ji Ziming was acting this way.

“Mister, your latte.”

Just as the atmosphere became stagnant in the four-person table, which the occupants had changed from two to three, the waitress came over with the coffee and broke the deadlock.

“Thank you.” Chen Zhengchu smiled and nodded at the waitress.

“You’re welcome.” The waitress smiled back with a shake of her head. She then turned to respectfully address Ji Ziming, “Mr. Ji, would you like to have your usual?”

Ji Ziming gave a slight nod and hummed in the affirmative, “Mhm.”

“Alright, please wait for a short while, Mr. Ji.” The waitress took the serving tray and left.

Chen Zhengchu gently stirred the coffee with his right hand, and, in a seemingly careless manner, asked, “I wonder what relation Mr. Ji has with Ms. Pei?”

“No relation at all. He is just my boss, and we are not close to each other.” Before Ji Ziming could respond, Pei Ge immediately clarified their relationship.

Her words caused his face to darken, and he shot her a dangerous look.

“No relation? Not close, eh?” He slightly inclined his face and looked deeply at her.

Pei Ge was slightly fazed by his look and sat up straighter as she raised her voice. “CEO Ji, I’m having a blind date, please don’t—”

She had not even finished her words when he arched an eyebrow and remarked, “I remember that we are rather close, though.”

When his mouth curled into a devilish smile and he showed an amused face, her cheeks began to feel warm.

The memory of their first meeting at Bar Vista resurfaced in her mind.

In that instant, it was as though Pei Ge’s partner in this blind date had changed from Chen Zhengchu to another person.

Chen Zhengchu looked at the pair across him with a calm smile and without a trace of anger.

If this happened to another guy, he would surely walk out. However, Chen Zhengchu just calmly drank his coffee as though he were indifferent to the whole matter.

“Mr. Ji really cares for his employees, it seems,” Chen Zhengchu said with a smile before he placed the cup in his hand down.

“Naturally,” Ji Ziming replied flatly.

Although one man looked harmless and the other seemed indifferent, Pei Ge inexplicably felt a strange sense of oppression.
