Chapter 47: Date

Sometimes, when you can’t make a decision yourself, confiding in someone is a good choice.

Su Man was in agony, so she told her well-informed best friend about the events of the past few days. After hearing it all, her friend cursed Wang Li as disgusting and criticized Zhou Chengjing as scheming and cunning: “They’re all terrible!”

Her friend said, “You should just divorce Wang Li. Since you don’t have children yet and you’re still young, divide your assets… Besides the house under renovation, you don’t have much property together. Ask Wang Li to deduct the loan payments you made this year and then go your separate ways. He won’t be able to threaten you after divorcing him, and if he dares to bother you again, you can call the police!”

Filled with righteous indignation, her friend analyzed the situation with Su Man and concluded that it seemed like everything would be solved once they got divorced.

As her friend was getting excited while talking, suddenly Su Man’s phone rang. It was Zhou Chengjing calling.

According to their agreement, Su Man had promised to go on a date with Zhou Chengjing today, and he had already arrived and was asking where she was.

Su Man had only recently finished work and was having coffee with her friend, who was just criticizing him.

They paused for the moment, Su Man stood up, and her friend followed her, threatening to give a piece of her mind to that shameless guy named Zhou.

Zhou Chengjing expressed understanding without delving deeper, but he had a strange desire for victory, “You didn’t curse at me as much as you cursed at Wang Li, did you?”

Su Man: “…”

As for the date, Zhou Chengjing didn’t have much experience. After consulting various online suggestions, he took Su Man to watch a movie in a conventional manner.

He bought Su Man a bouquet of flowers and a large bucket of popcorn for her to hold while watching the movie. She watched the movie, and he watched her. Although he didn’t quite understand why Su Man would cry and laugh along with the emotions portrayed in the movie, he still found it interesting.

Then they had dinner. He took Su Man to a fancier couple’s restaurant, located in a tall building with a bustling city view below.

He ordered dishes for Su Man, told her interesting stories about celebrities, displayed humor, and behaved elegantly. The atmosphere was pleasant for a while.

He drove Su Man home and, in the car outside her community, planted a fleeting kiss on her lips, saying, “Go back, goodnight, looking forward to next time.”

—Promptly rejected.

Su Man, with a task-oriented attitude, declined the offer for next time, as well as his expressed affection.

To summarize Su Man’s words: “I see your affection, but I decline your confession.”

Zhou Chengjing wasn’t surprised at all, nodded, and reflected on himself, “It seems like Manman doesn’t really like these overly romantic dates.”

“Perfect, I’m not a big fan of them either.”

He locked the car door, loosened his tie, and said, “Now, we can approach this in a more adult manner.”
