The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 172 - Dates Are Not Important

Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Dates Are Not Important

Nian Shutong didn’t move but looked outside through the small window.

Last time he left, it was also from Zone 3, only that time he boarded the starship right from the Nian Family’s doorstep, a smaller starship.

“Let’s go.” Nian Shutong stood up and disembarked the starship with Fu Yunhe.

Following the two of them was Niu Cheng, who kept asking questions.

“Where are you guys going?”

“Do you have a flying device?”

“Do you want me to give you a lift? My flying device is parked outside!”

“Otherwise, you’ll have to take a public flying device, which is so much trouble.”

Niu Cheng’s offer was sincere, but Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe still didn’t accept.

“Thank you for your kindness, but we’d like to just wander around for now, we don’t have a destination yet.”

Fu Yunhe politely refused Niu Cheng’s offer.

Niu Cheng, scratching the back of his head, laughed hee-hee and said, “That’s fine, thanks for your buns, see you when it’s fated.”

He didn’t insist, as they were strangers after all.

After disembarking from the starship, Niu Cheng left first, while Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe walked outside together.

“Where to now? What time did you make the appointment with Yu Zeming?”

At that question, Fu Yunhe awkwardly stopped in his tracks, turned around to face Nian Shutong, and realized he had forgotten again.

Nian Shutong’s radar instantly went online, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he asked, “You didn’t make an appointment with Yu Zeming? You don’t even know where to go?”

“Heh heh heh… what a coincidence, you guessed it all right.”

“To hell with that! Xiao He, I’ve complimented you all the way here for nothing, meticulous my ass!”

Fu Yunhe felt he must have some kind of problem because he found Nian Shutong, who was cursing, kind of cute!

“Don’t panic, I’ll contact him right now, it’s not too late.” Fu Yunhe spoke again, “Don’t worry, I’ll cover all expenses.”

Nian Shutong, who originally had a stern face, looked helplessly as if resigned to fate and patted Fu Yunhe on the shoulder, saying, “Or else, do you think I would spend money?”

“You’re right, my bad.” Fu Yunhe admitted his mistake very quickly, previously because of Nian Shutong’s pressure to survive, now with a bit of undefinable emotion mixed in.

“Hurry up! I still need to get back home to collect the grain, I can’t delay.”

Signing a contract was of minuscule importance compared to harvesting grain.

Let’s not forget that all the grain was personally planted by Nian Shutong; it was her toil and effort.

Fu Yunhe didn’t dare delay and opened his Light Computer to send a message to Yu Zeming.

Meanwhile, at a restaurant in Zone 3, Yu Zeming, dressed in a suit, was on a date.

To be precise, he was on a blind date.

His old man believed that at the “advanced age” of thirty-eight, if he didn’t get married, he might not even be able to have children.

Every second, Yu Zeming considered presenting the news of a 360-year-old man having a child to throw in his dad’s face.

Of course, all this was wishful thinking. Not only did he not dare to, but he also had to dress appropriately for an arranged blind date.

Inside the private room, not only was Yu Zeming present, but also his father, Mr. Yu, Yu Renhe.

Around a round table, Yu Zeming and his dad sat on one side, facing a family of three, his blind date for today.

“Our Xiangxiang just won first place in the guqin competition.”

“Our entire Qin Family is overjoyed.”

Yu Zeming’s dad, Yu Renhe, praised, “That’s true, it’s a testament to your family’s heritage and Xiangxiang’s talent; it would be hard for her not to succeed.”

“Mr. Yu, you’re too kind.”

Inside the private room, it was always Mr. Yu who carried the conversation, while the Qin Xiangxiang and Yu Zeming on the other side each maintained a forced smile, like their own statues.

Yu Zeming: Who exactly is the blind date for?

Qin Xiangxiang: When will this end? It wouldn’t be very nice to get up to pee now, would it? Dad will definitely criticize my guqin playing.

Both of them had their own thoughts and neither liked blind dates.

“Ding-dong,” Yu Zeming’s light computer rang.

“Sorry, I had set it to silent mode, but some important matters will still send reminders,” Yu Zeming, the gentleman, stood up and gracefully nodded his head before stepping outside to check.

Qin Xiangxiang: So formal! If I really married him, wouldn’t life be unbearably boring?

On the other side, as soon as Yu Zeming stepped out the door, his shoulders relaxed.

He was so tired! If it weren’t for his dad’s threats, he would’ve preferred to lie down during the blind date.

Yu Zeming opened his email to see which kind-hearted person had rescued him.

“Holy crap! It’s here!”

Yu Zeming couldn’t help but blurt out a swear word, and quite loudly too.

He quickly covered his mouth and cautiously pressed his ear against the door, hoping his father hadn’t heard.

First, Yu Zeming sent a message back to Fu Yunhe with the location and then asked how he should come to pick them up.

But the reply was: We will come on our own.

Yu Zeming stared at the message, his heart beating a bit faster. He was supposed to be the boss, so why was he so excited?

Was he being a bit rebellious?

Never mind that, he had to go, right away.

“Knock, knock, knock,” Yu Zeming knocked on the door. Back to his elegant, distinguished self, his shoulders straightened up again as if by a mechanical device. He entered the room and bowed slightly to everyone.

“I’m very sorry, but there’s an emergency at the company that I need to handle.”

Nobody noticed that Qin Xiangxiang’s eyes brightened up a bit when she heard these words.

She was really in a hurry, about to burst.

However, Mr. Yu didn’t think so. He turned his head and looked at Yu Zeming with a threatening gaze, asking, “Is it really that urgent?”

His tone suggested that if Yu Zeming dared to affirm, he could pounce on this unfilial son and bite him.

“Father, it really is urgent. You told me to treat them with sincerity,” Yu Zeming emphasized the word “sincerity.”

Mr. Yu instantly understood—it was about Little River Live.

He viewed Little River Live differently from others; their food was very special.

“Right, we should treat others sincerely in everything we do. Since it’s an emergency, go ahead,” Mr. Yu spoke up, and Qin Xiangxiang’s parents naturally didn’t dare to object.

Yu Zeming apologized politely to the group and left first.

Less than a minute after he left, Qin Xiangxiang also stood up and rushed out, heading for the bathroom.

The blind date ended without incident.

On the other side, Fu Yunhe and Nian Shutong, following Yu Zeming’s provided address, boarded a public flying device.

The public flying device was quite large, able to carry a few hundred people without a problem, and within the city, there were countless such flying devices.

Sitting in the flying device, Nian Shutong looked out the window.

The sky outside was very blue, but you could still see countless lines, crisscrossing at different elevations, with flying devices passing by on each line from time to time.

The interstellar road lay in the sky.

The ground, by contrast, was much quieter, with only leisurely pedestrians.

It was really quite different, very different.

“Do you want to look around? After we finish, we should still have some time,” Fu Yunhe asked.

“Let’s see,” Nian Shutong responded.

The two sat in their quiet corner, and after arriving, they got out of the flying device and took the elevator down to the ground.

“It’s just ahead, that silver-gray building.”

“Okay, let’s go.”
