Inside a Beijing restaurant…
His gaze calm, Fu Chen rubbed his prayer beads with his fingers. The warm water in front of him had already cooled, but there was still no one opposite him.
He went to his parents' home to have lunch with them today, and his mother mentioned the blind date again. Naturally, he refused her. But what followed next was his mother slamming her chopsticks on the table.
"I've already heard from Wanwan. Don't try to act all pure and innocent in front of me and tell me you're a Buddhist.
"We know all about your eating vegetarian food all day long and pretending in front of your father and me. You must go on this blind date even if you don't want to go.
"If you don't go, don't ever come back in the future. I have many sons, so I don't mind losing one. You're not young anymore, yet you're still making me worry."
Fu Chen's expression was calm. "What did she say to you?"
