Chapter 1 A Blind Date

• The spacious cafe was strangely silent as Ruan Shishi hung her head while nervously stirring the coffee in front of her. The atmosphere was rather awkward and strained for a while.
• Half a minute after he sat down, the man asked flatly, “Is this your first blind date?” His aura was so overbearing that a simple question from him made Ruan Shishi even more nervous.
• Ruan Shishi was having the first blind date of her life on this day. Yielding to her mom’s carrots and sticks, she came unwillingly to the prearranged cafe and found the designated seat.
• She had thought of the blind date on this day as a mere formality. Much to her surprise, the man who sat opposite her turned out to be Yu Yimo, the CEO of the Yu Family Group. This man could set the entire Jiangzhou City quaking with a stamp of his foot!
• Most importantly, Ruan Shishi was working at the Yu Family Group as a clerk in the administrative department. A big shot like Yu Yimo certainly wouldn’t know her in person, but it would be too difficult for Ruan Shishi to pretend that she didn’t know him.
• So, she stuttered nervously, “Y-Yes. T-This is my f-first time…”
• Sizing her up and down with his cold gaze, Yu Yimo asked, “Have you graduated from university?”
• “Yes, I have.” Ruan Shishi gulped subconsciously before adding, “I graduated two years ago.”
• Yu Yimo was silent for a moment after hearing her reply. He looked calm and casual with his good-looking face that was devoid of any emotion. On the other hand, Ruan Shishi’s heart was restless. She wondered which deity her mother had worshipped to have gotten such a top eligible bachelor as her date. At the same time, she couldn’t help suspecting that Yu Yimo had sat in the wrong seat.
• Or perhaps she was the one who sat in the wrong seat instead. Thereafter, she cast a sideways glance at the seat number on the table and found that it was indeed number 18.
• She then mustered up her courage and asked, “Err… Have you sat in the wrong seat?”
• Yu Yimo asked, “Have you brought your household register with you?”
• They spoke and finished their sentences abruptly at the same time.
• Ruan Shishi raised her head in shock upon hearing Yu Yimo’s words. Upon seeing his near-perfect facial features at a breath away from her, Ruan Shishi’s cheeks flushed bright red in an instant and her mind went completely blank.
• Blessed with the good looks of a noble gentleman, Yu Yimo looked even more handsome than the male celebrities that were popular at the time. Even then, he often deterred people away from him with his overbearing aura as a businessman.
• Ruan Shishi had entered the Yu Family Group as an intern while she was studying at her university. She then stayed on after passing her internship, and two years had gone by since then.
• She had seldom seen Yu Yimo over the last two years, and even if she did manage to see him, she only had a view of his back from afar. Now that she was meeting him face to face, it felt even more surreal than her dreams.
• “Do you still have any questions?” Yu Yimo shot a glance at Ruan Shishi’s blushing face as a glimmer of warmth crept into his cold eyes.
• Ruan Shishi shook her head. How could she have any questions toward her boss?
• Just then, Yu Yimo’s cell phone rang. He picked up the phone, and after a brief silence, he replied crisply, “Got it.” Then, he hung up and looked up at Ruan Shishi. “Let’s go.”
• The way he stood up was as decisive as the way he spoke and conducted himself. Ruan Shishi stood up obediently as if spellbound, thereafter she followed Yu Yimo out of the cafe.
• Yu Yimo was 190 centimeters in height while Ruan Shishi, who was following behind him, was 170 centimeters tall; she looked petite and delicate when compared to him. She got into Yu Yimo’s car—a black Maybach that he usually drove—after him.
• The car had a luxurious interior, yet Ruan Shishi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She fiddled with her two fingers anxiously while asking herself from time to time if she was dreaming right now. At the same time, Yu Yimo had taken notice of all her reactions.
• He suddenly broke the silence in the car by saying, “My family has been pressing me into going on blind dates, but I don’t want to waste my time on such matters. Seeing that your looks are quite pleasant and you’re pretty comfortable to look at, I have no problem marrying you.” His magnetic voice rang in Ruan Shishi’s ears.
• Ruan Shishi stared at Yu Yimo in surprise. Though she did go on a blind date with him, surely their relationship had not advanced to the point of getting married yet.
• “Shouldn’t you take some time to consider? We don’t seem to know each other that well…” said Ruan Shishi, who continued her sentence inwardly.Yet.
• “There’s no such need.” Yu Yimo cut her short as his whole body exuded a chilling aura. Then, he said authoritatively, “Be my wife, and I, Yu Yimo, will give you everything you want.”
• Unbeknownst to Ruan Shishi, Yu Yimo had known her like the back of his hand before he came for the date.
