Chapter 105 Tricked into a Blind Date

Zhao Hengliang continued to talk at length, "Our family has always been very thrifty. We spend money on what really matters. What's the point of buying something so impractical like this? Even if you want to buy one, you can get it for just a dozen or twenty yuan online. Why would you spend several thousand yuan on something like this..."

Ji Xiaonuan was at a loss for words.

Why did she feel that this guy was crazy?

What she bought had nothing to do with him. What did his family's thrift have to do with her?

Maybe he was so used to being thrifty that he couldn't stand others buying expensive things. But even so, it was really unbearable.

"The old lady in our neighborhood is ninety-nine years old this year," Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help interrupting him.

Zhao Hengliang was taken aback and asked blankly, "What does that have to do with what I'm saying?"

"Exactly. What I buy has nothing to do with you, right?" Ji Xiaonuan said indifferently.

Zhao Hengliang's face turned red. "You, you..."

Ji Xiaonuan turned to look at the counter. The salesperson took out a tie clip from the counter and introduced, "Take a look at this one. It's our latest style and is very popular. If you buy it for your boyfriend, he will definitely like it!" She couldn't help but her eyes light up. That tie clip was really nice. It had smooth lines, was simple yet fashionable, and was very suitable for Chi Jun'an. Ji Xiaonuan fell in love with it at the first sight.

"Are you buying it for your boyfriend?" Zhao Hengliang was somewhat surprised and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ji Xiaonuan gave a noncommittal hum.

"When buying something for your boyfriend, of course, the more expensive the better," Zhao Hengliang's attitude suddenly did a 180-degree turn. He said with satisfaction, "Women should leave the best things for men. I think that latest style is quite good..."

The corners of Ji Xiaonuan's lips twitched. She increasingly felt that this Zhao Hengliang was crazy.

Ignoring Zhao Hengliang, she said indifferently, "Please wrap this up for me."

This tie clip was a bit expensive, but during the Spring Festival, her parents and her elder brother who was abroad had given her a lot of red envelopes, so she could definitely afford it.

After paying the bill, Ji Xiaonuan took the tie clip from the salesperson. But she saw Zhao Hengliang staring eagerly at the box in her hand, looking expectant.

Ji Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in annoyance. What was wrong with this Zhao Hengliang? Didn't he want to snatch the thing? She had originally agreed to go shopping with Ji Feifei, but now Ji Xiaonuan didn't want to see this Zhao Hengliang at all.

She put the gift away. Seeing that Ji Feifei still hadn't come back, Ji Xiaonuan walked to the corner and took out her phone to call Ji Feifei.

"Sister Feifei, where are you?" Ji Xiaonuan asked with a frown.

"Ah, I'm in a bit of trouble here," Ji Feifei said in a flustered manner. "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi. Please help me entertain my friend first. I'll be there soon."

Ji Xiaonuan frowned even more. Seeing that Zhao Hengliang didn't follow, she said in a low voice, "Is your friend crazy? He's so annoying. Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Sister Feifei, I've also made an appointment with a friend to watch a movie. How about letting him wait for you here and I leave first?"

"No, no! That... I mean, you've already agreed to go shopping with us. How about this," Ji Feifei said hastily, "We also plan to watch a movie. You can wait for me at the cinema. I'll be there soon."

Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help feeling suspicious. Why was Ji Feifei speaking so hesitantly?

"All right then," she thought for a while and said, "We'll wait for you at the cinema. But let's make it clear. We'll still go shopping separately later. You can go your way and we'll go ours."

Ji Xiaonuan really didn't want to see Zhao Hengliang anymore. Moreover, today was her date with Chi Jun'an, and she didn't want to be disturbed.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiaonuan briefly told Zhao Hengliang that Ji Feifei asked them to wait for her at the cinema.

The cinema wasn't far from there. Along the way, Zhao Hengliang chattered on about his family situation and what his future girlfriend should be like.

Ji Xiaonuan was almost driven crazy by him. Out of politeness, she didn't interrupt him, but she didn't listen to what he was saying at all.

When they arrived at the cinema, Zhao Hengliang pointed at a recently released movie and said, "I think this movie should be good. I was just planning to watch it."

Ji Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in disgust. The movie he chose was exactly the one she and Chi Jun'an were going to watch together.

However, she had already bought the tickets in advance through a group purchase. Ji Xiaonuan continued to pretend not to hear and went to the self-service ticket machine to pick up the tickets she had bought.

As soon as she took out the tickets, she saw Zhao Hengliang reaching out his hand.

"What are you doing?" Ji Xiaonuan asked in surprise, looking at him.

"Give me the tickets. You can go and buy some popcorn and drinks," Zhao Hengliang ordered.

"Are you crazy?" Ji Xiaonuan was extremely speechless. "I bought the tickets. Why should I give them to you?"

"You bought two tickets, right? That means one for each of us," Zhao Hengliang said. "Ji Xiaonuan, Ji Feifei arranged for us to go on a blind date today. I'm quite satisfied with you. But you're still a bit unworthy of me..."

"Wait a minute!" Ji Xiaonuan was stunned as if struck by lightning. She looked at Zhao Hengliang in disbelief. "You mean Ji Feifei arranged for me to go on a blind date with you?"

No wonder Ji Feifei disappeared as soon as she showed up and still hadn't come back after so long. No wonder Zhao Hengliang scolded her for wasting money when they first met and then changed his attitude immediately when he heard that she was buying a gift for her boyfriend. So Zhao Hengliang thought the gift was for him?

Ji Xiaonuan felt as if tens of thousands of mythical beasts were rampaging in her heart. She really couldn't help but want to curse!

Zhao Hengliang was still talking to himself. "Let's talk about getting married now. I heard that your family is quite wealthy. Of course, your family should buy the house..."

"Stop!" Ji Xiaonuan came back to her senses. Seeing that he had already started imagining getting married, she quickly interrupted him. "Mr. Zhao, I think you're mistaken," Ji Xiaonuan said coldly. "I didn't know this was an arranged blind date. If I had known, I would never have agreed! But you're right. I'm really not worthy of a weirdo like you."

"You...!"

Zhao Hengliang was both ashamed and angry. But Ji Xiaonuan raised her hand and interrupted him again. "Most importantly, I have a boyfriend, and it's not you. The movie tickets and the gift are for him, not for you. I'm here for a date with my boyfriend today!"

After saying all these words in one breath, Ji Xiaonuan had never intended to embarrass him, but Zhao Hengliang had really gone too far.

Zhao Hengliang's face turned pale and then red in an instant. Her words were like a series of slaps, hitting him hard in the face! So, he had been being self-indulgent before?

Zhao Hengliang was extremely embarrassed. He glared at her angrily. "Ji Xiaonuan, it's your good fortune that I took a fancy to you! What kind of woman like you could anyone want? You said you have a boyfriend. Where is he? I don't believe it. Can he be better than me?"
