Chapter 3, the Handsome Huangfu Hao "The Driver"

Huangfu Hao was momentarily taken aback before realizing that the driver mentioned by Leng Nuanqing was him, and he couldn't help but respond, "What happened?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are absolutely right, I got overly excited!" Sang Youyou awkwardly picked up the chopsticks and gave a sheepish smile, "Then please continue speaking."

What, why?" Sang Youyou pretended to be clueless

Sang Youyou busily said: "Yes, you do not know [him/her], because [he/she] is a new friend that you have just met..."

Indeed, Nuan Qing is quite impressive. As soon as Sang Youyou heard Huangfu Hao praise Leng Nuanqing, she couldn't help but speak with a hint of pride, "She is only a little older than me, yet she is already capable of handling things on her own. She is my idol!"

Sang Youyou's lips twitched slightly: "We just met!" How we got to know each other is quite hard to explain

Mother Sang awkwardly withdrew her hand, then with a beaming smile and a hint of gossip, asked, "So it was just you and her who went out for drinks?"

Huangfu Hao still could not understand Sang Youyou, so he could only point towards Leng Nuanqing and said: "Recently, Leng Nuanqing has been in business dealings with our company..." Regardless of Leng Nuanqing's capabilities, he did not want to give any senior executives or employees the impression that the deal was made due to personal connections.

When Sang Youyou looked at the signature dishes of Leng Nuanqing being served one after another, her heart ached to the point of almost bleeding! This table full of dishes is all red RMB!

Sang Youyou calmly swallowed the chewed piece of chicken, elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue, took a deep breath, and looked at Leng Nuqing: "Go ahead, what has provoked you today?"

Indeed, it has passed, but when we meet again, my heart will still ache, and I will still feel sad... Cold and warm emotions rest on Sang Youyou's shoulders as she cries like a child, "I would rather never see him again in this lifetime, nor hear any news about him, treating him as if he never existed. That way, at least I can forget a little more completely, and my heart will feel a bit better..."

Sang Youyou noticed that Huangfu Hao had not spoken again, and Leng Nuanqing had also stopped her nonsensical chatter. She was at a loss for words, and the atmosphere became silent and quiet, with a hint of ambiguity and an indescribable awkwardness floating in the cramped car. Sang Youyou simply leaned back against the rear seat, closed her eyes, and pretended to doze off.

"Indeed! She was drunk and just kept being amusing." With a silly chuckle, Sang Youyou, feeling a bit guilty, averted her gaze, covering her forehead, and looked out at the flickering and enchanting neon lights outside the window, wishing she could dig a hole in the car and burrow into it

Sang Youyou smiled graciously, pulling the corners of her mouth upward, and said, "Thank you, goodbye." Then, she waved to a nearby security guard, saying, "Could you please help me assist her up? My friend has had too much to drink."

Huangfu Hao watched as Sang Youyou's figure disappeared from his sight, seemingly lost in thought, before bending down to get into the car and turning to leave

In order to avoid being overly startled by the repeated dropping of chopsticks, Sang Youyou hurriedly set down the chopsticks and focused intently on Leng Nuanqing, asking: "What happened next?"

"Sang Youyou!" Lengnuanqing interrupted her through gritted teeth, "What do you mean? Do you think the blows I've received are not enough? Do you want to rub salt in my wounds?"

Sang Youyou was once again taken aback as the chopsticks fell onto the table once more: "Ah? What is going on?" Leng Nuanqing and Ji Ranxi had once been passionately in love, but they did not end up together in the end. Now, Leng Nuanqing is on a blind date with Ji Ranxi's younger brother, which is truly too dramatic and clichéd, isn't it?

Before the words of warmth and cold could be finished, Sang Youyou's chopsticks, which were holding the chicken, were startled and fell down.

Huangfu Hao had merely glanced at the sisters beside Sang Youyou, feeling that this girl seemed somewhat familiar. At this moment, upon hearing Sang Youyou call out the name Leng Nuanqing, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised: "You mean her name is Leng Nuanqing?" She couldn't possibly be the sales manager of a certain company who had been trying to get close to him these past few days, could she?

"Nuanqing... Nuanqing..." Sang Youyou called out twice, seeing her hesitating and already losing consciousness, she couldn't help but wave her hand to signal the waiter to bring the bill

Ji Ranxi

As this gentle voice tentatively called out, under the backlight of the dim yellow streetlights, Sang Youyou raised her eyes and saw the tall man approaching her. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Huangfu Hao

"Is your friend in sales?" Huangfu Hao asked tentatively

Sang Youyou covered her face in silence, leaving Huangfu Hao completely dumbfounded

I eat one portion, I throw away one portion, is that not acceptable

I remember that your aunt seems to have just passed a week

Sang Youyou was earnestly wearing a humble smile.

Then let me take you back," Huangfu Hao said, not waiting for Sang Youyou to refuse, and he took the initiative to reach out to help Leng Nuqing up.

Why did Leng Nuanqing drink so much today? Is it because of a bad mood? Mother Sang does not intend to let Sang Youyou pretend to be foolish, and she slapped her on the head.

Ah? What should we do?" Sang Youyou was anxious.

Sang Youyou rolled her eyes in complete speechlessness and retorted with annoyance, "Mom, you just saw Huangfu Hao yesterday, okay?" It had been a long time since she last saw Ah Hao, and the thought of it made Sang Youyou feel a layer of goosebumps from the sheer awkwardness.

"Leng Nuanqing, shut your mouth!" Sang Youyou finally couldn't hold back her anger, grabbing the excited Leng Nuanqing and forcefully pressing her down. Looking into her eyes, she said angrily, "You better behave yourself. If you dare to cause any more trouble, I will throw you into the trash can!"

Sang Youyou sighed quietly, gently patting Leng Nuqing's shoulder. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. In fact, at that moment, all she could think of was one sentence: If I knew you were doing well, it would be like a bolt from the blue; if I knew you were not doing well, I would feel at ease.

Although Leng Nuqing's tone was as flat as possible, Sang Youyou still detected a hint of sadness. Back then, Mama Ji disapproved of Leng Nuqing due to her poor family background and lackluster job, which led to her disliking Leng Nuqing and ultimately tearing her apart from Ji Ranxi. However, who would have thought that in just four or five years, that once destitute and naive girl would be able to stand firm in this city and live a life of comfort and dignity

Cough cough cough ... ... "Mom, I was drinking with my sisters, I don't need him to accompany me."

"Then how did we get to know each other?" Leng Nuanqing persistently asked

"Then who is he?" Leng Nuanqing blinked her dark eyes, looking at Sang Youyou with a drunken gaze.

My mother is forcing me to go on a blind date. Lengnuanqing hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak up

"Oh dear, don't you know? Fighting poison with poison is also a way to heal wounds." Sang Youyou chuckled lightly, "You and I are kindred spirits, forced into blind dates. I truly understand and empathize with that feeling, and I absolutely sympathize with you"

Why

1

Huangfu Hao remained unperturbed and calmly replied, "You are not good-looking, but you are very beautiful"

Lenguanqing immediately called the waiter and ordered a dozen beers

"Oh dear, I am not her, how would I know?" Sang Youyou looked at Mama Sang with a sense of sorrow, "Mom, I am already quite foolish, and you keep patting my head. Do you want me to become an idiot or what?"

Leng Nuanqing did not pay any attention to Sang Youyou, but instead bit down angrily on her chopsticks and devoured several pieces of meat: "Once I finish eating, you have to accompany me to the bar, I need to vent!" After saying this, she added, "Forget it, let's drink a bit first."

Sang Youyou hurriedly grabbed Leng Nuanqing's hand and awkwardly reassured her, "Nuanqing, you've had too much to drink; he is not the driver"

"What time is it, and you are already drunk?" Huangfu Hao's voice was calm, revealing no signs of disturbance. However, from the side, Sang Youyou could see that his handsome, soaring brows were slightly furrowed.

Huangfu Hao's phone was on speaker mode, so Nangong Lin's voice was clearly heard by Sang Youyou amidst the noise of the bustling bar

Sang Youyou expressed her gratitude and watched the security guard leave before turning to follow Sang Mama into the house: "Yes, I had a bit too much to drink."

Indeed, if they are not from the same family, they do not enter the same door. These two girls are both so entertaining

Sang Youyou hurriedly made a phone call to call for an ambulance, and then accompanied her mother to the hospital for examination and X-rays. The conclusion was a lumbar spine injury due to a sprain. Consequently, a steel plate belt was applied, and traction treatment was administered. However, hospitalization was necessary because when Sang's mother fell to the ground, she braced herself with her elbow, resulting in a fracture in her wrist that required several days of observation in the hospital.

"You think it's funny, don't you?" Lengnuanqing chuckled self-deprecatingly, then tears streamed down her face, and she choked back sobs as she said, "Actually, I am very sad inside."

"No need to be polite, it's just..." Huangfu Hao glanced at Leng Nuanqing, observing Sang Youyou who seemed to hesitate in her words

Huangfu Hao took a deep breath without showing any emotion and said: "I hope you do not tell Leng Nuanqing that you know me"

At the intersection, after waiting for a long time, they still couldn't get a taxi. Sang Youyou, exhausted and too tired to care about her appearance, plopped down onto the ground with a thud, letting out a long sigh. She looked at Leng Nuqing, who was leaning against her shoulder, her beautiful phoenix eyes tightly closed. Her long, slightly curled eyelashes resembled a lovely fan, gracefully curling upwards, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, indicating that she was sleeping soundly.

Leng Nuanqing picked up a bottle of beer, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one go. Then, covering his mouth, he mumbled, "Ji Ranxi, as the male companion, also brought his daughter to the event."

Mother Sang could not maintain her balance, and her entire body tilted and fell down, exclaiming, "Oh dear..." Following that, her whole figure leaned forward. Sang Youyou was astonished, her mouth agape, and she attempted to reach out to grab her, but ended up grasping at nothing.

"How did we just meet?" Leng Nuqing repeated word for word without missing a beat. If it weren't for the sight of her soft and limp demeanor, her drunken, bleary-eyed pitiable look, Sang Youyou really wouldn't want to bother with her. Yet, Leng Nuqing's sharp tongue had truly managed to infuriate Sang Youyou. This drunkard is indeed difficult to deal with

Um..." Sang Youyou was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "A friend!"

2

Sang Youyou quickly and cleverly reacted with a reflex, sidestepping to avoid it

Sang Youyou

Ahao, I have had too much to drink, please come and pick me up

"Driver, you are truly kind! You spoke the truth, I like you!" Lengnuanqing laughed like a child who was about to receive candy, "I am so beautiful, Youyou, I am really so beautiful..."

Leng Nuanqing randomly nodded, released Sang Youyou's hand, let out a burp, patted the back of Huangfu Hao's chair, and seriously called out: "Huangfu Hao!"

Sang Youyou rubbed her eyes; she was not mistaken, it was indeed Huangfu Hao. She couldn't help but raise her eyes, forcing a smile on her delicate face: "What a coincidence!" Huangfu Hao, with his elegant and otherworldly demeanor, starkly contrasted with Sang Youyou's lack of decorum. She was sitting on the ground in such an unrefined manner, it was simply too embarrassing!

Sang Youyou pursed her lips and answered honestly: "Huangfu Hao sent it back."

"Heartless!" Mother Sang cast a resentful glance at Sang Youyou.

"Your sympathy for me is of no use!" Leng Nuanqing said irritably

After consuming three bottles of wine, her fair face, which was cool and warm, had turned crimson. Finally, in a fit of annoyance, she opened her mouth to speak: "Do you know who I encountered on my blind date today?"

Cold and warm, Qing again burped: "Do I look good?"

"How do you speak? He is your boyfriend, why do you say you don't need him to accompany you?" Mother Sang glared at Sang Youyou with dissatisfaction and said matter-of-factly, "How did you come back?"

Sang Youyou instinctively let out an "oh" and then helped Leng Nuqing up, following Huangfu Hao towards his car. After all, at this time, it was truly difficult to hail a taxi, and since Huangfu Hao had so kindly offered, it would be unreasonable for Sang Youyou to refuse again

Huangfu Hao looked at Sang Youyou, whose expression was both bewildered and somewhat inquisitive, fearing that she might misunderstand. He quickly explained, "Don't overthink it; I have nothing to do with Leng Nuanqing."

Huangfu Hao's phone rang. He discreetly glanced at the rearview mirror and then answered the call: "Hello, good day!"

Mother Sang's tense expression eased somewhat as she spoke earnestly and with deep feeling: "This is more like it."

A friend, having drunk too much, is now being sent back. Huangfu Hao briefly explained, "I am driving now, I will hang up first"

Sang Youyou's pretty face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Mom, then you should work more and endure a few more years of hardship."

"Fool, call an ambulance!" Mother Sang covered her lower back with her hand, wincing in pain and groaning.

Huangfu Hao could only force a stiff smile and said, "I am a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. Regarding company affairs, I do not wish to involve any personal relationships..."

Leng Nuanqing placed a piece of squirrel fish on the table, glanced at Sang Youyou, and said with an indifferent expression: "If your expression were any more sorrowful, I would order another serving just to feel sorry for you!"

"First send her, then send you?" Huangfu Hao asked tentatively

It makes Sang Youyou seem as if she is truly desperate to get married, while Sang's mother is eager to see her married off at any cost

"It's nothing, just feeling a bit down," Leng Nuanqing said in a light tone, then shot a glance at Sang Youyou, "Women have those few days every month, don't they!"

Leng Nuan glanced at Sang Youyou, let out a belch, and said leisurely: "What are you so excited about? I haven't finished speaking yet." Then, in a slow manner, he added, "Besides, if anyone should be excited, it should be me. Why are you trying to join in the fun?"

"Driver, tell me, do I look good or not?" Unable to get a response from the driver, Leng Nuanqing, fueled by alcohol, couldn't help but throw a small tantrum, striking the chair several times with force.

"Alright, alright, how old are you now? Is it really necessary to cry over such a trivial matter?" Mother Sang interrupted Sang Youyou in a gruff voice, "I'm fine, it's just a few days in the hospital. I’ll just consider it a little vacation for myself."

Sang Youyou originally wanted to reply, "If you were a man, I wouldn't treat you this well," but when she looked up, she saw Leng Nuanqing had already knocked over his cup, drunk to the point of lying on the table, completely motionless

Is it true

Then, upon hearing a "bang," Mother Wolf fell to the ground in a disheveled manner, groaning and mumbling.

Without hesitation, Sang Youyou had just finished speaking when two cold glances from her mother shot over: "Then why don't you tell me, when is Huangfu Hao available?"

"I didn't mean it that way..." Huangfu Hao did not expect that Sang Youyou's temperament was so straightforward, which surprised him somewhat. He hurriedly explained, "I think I am still very happy to be friends with you."

Sang Youyou felt even more bewildered, blinking her dark eyes as she looked at Huangfu Hao, not understanding why he suddenly said that.

That smile, radiant and dazzling, with white teeth exuding an enchanting luster, combined with Huangfu Hao's exceptionally handsome face, reveals a captivating charm.

Sang Youyou hurriedly stepped forward, crouched down to offer support, and asked with concern, "Mom, are you alright?"

"Did not go." Mother Sang did not even glance at Sang Youyou, but walked straight past her, took the warm and cold drink from the security guard, and asked with concern, "Is Nuanqing drunk today?"

Sang Youyou looked at her mother, Sang Mama, who was groaning on the white hospital bed, and with a hint of guilt, she stepped forward and grasped her hand: "Mom, I'm sorry..." If only she hadn't dodged, Sang Mama wouldn't have fallen and wouldn't have ended up needing to be hospitalized.

"Huangfu Hao, do you think I am good-looking?" As Leng Nuanqing's words just came out, Sang Youyou wished she could cover her mouth again. Goodness, how had she never noticed before that Leng Nuanqing becomes so narcissistic when she drinks too much? ... Continuously chasing after people asking, Am I good-looking? Am I good-looking? ...

Huangfu Hao sighed quietly and said, "Wait for me at the bar, I have something to attend to, I will come find you shortly"

In fact, the reason why Leng Wanqing and Sang Youyou have a good relationship is that they share a commonality deep within, which is that both of them are children lacking a sense of security. They are able to conceal this well in front of outsiders, and one might even say they exhibit a somewhat fierce and domineering demeanor. However, internally, they are as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Perhaps, in their youthful recklessness, failed romances have made them hesitant to love easily and reluctant to hate freely. They have both experienced tender and naive romances, and both have suffered devastating failures.

"There is no need to be so troublesome; just send her to my house with you." Sang Youyou quickly flashed a big smile at Huangfu Hao, gratefully watching him kindly open the car door and help Leng Nuqing into the back seat.

Having cried enough through the ups and downs, emotions come swiftly and depart just as quickly. After wiping away a tear, I tilted my head back and downed a bottle of beer in one go, my eyes hazy from the intoxication as I said to Sang Youyou: "Youyou, you are still the best to me! If I were a man, how wonderful it would be; I would definitely marry you..."

He delivered Sang Youyou to the entrance of the community, parked the car, and glanced at Leng Nuanqing, who had already drunk herself into a deep sleep. He politely asked, "Do you need me to take you upstairs?"

At the very least, I can treat you to a meal and listen to your troubles. " Sang Youyou said with a simple smile, "Come on, tell me, what kind of extraordinary situation have you encountered?"

Ah? You two..." Sang Youyou felt somewhat perplexed, thoughtfully glancing back and forth between Leng Nuanqing and Huangfu Hao, her mind filled with questions. Was there perhaps some "story" between these two that she was unaware of?

"Hmm, what is it?" Sang Youyou looked at Huangfu Hao with a carefree expression.

Sang Youyou gently patted Leng Nuqing's shoulder in a comforting manner, allowing her to lean against herself, and softly consoled her, "It's alright, all of this has already passed..."

Sang Youyou raised her eyes and looked at Huangfu Hao, noticing his hesitant demeanor and awkward expression. She couldn't help but ask bluntly, "What’s wrong? If you have something to say, just say it."

"It's all Qu Feifei's fault; she deliberately got someone to make me drink," Nangong Lin said, her voice carrying a hint of childish petulance as she huffed. "Fortunately, my tolerance for alcohol is not bad. Those two fools have already been knocked down by me and are lying on the side pretending to be dead"

"I said you are foolish, why don't you invite Huangfu Hao to come over and sit for a while?" Mother Sang cast a glance at Sang Youyou and said in a mournful tone, "Sigh, I haven't seen Ah Hao for a long time, and I really miss him..."

Although Leng Nuanqing was drunk and unconscious, at least when Sang Youyou helped her out, she could still stagger a few steps. Otherwise, Sang Youyou wouldn't have known how to get her back home.

However, if it were not for me...

Mother Sang paused for a moment, then quickly changed her words: "Then let's do it the night after tomorrow"

Sang Youyou busily followed her topic and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's not just the two of us, do we still need to call in a whole team of soldiers to accompany us? I would really like to, but I just can't get through!" Sang Youyou rolled her eyes and joked with a smile. She understood what Mama Sang meant and said it deliberately.

Sang Youyou suddenly understood and nodded knowingly: "Rest assured, Nuan Qing is also a person who distinguishes between public and private matters." After saying this, she noticed that Huangfu Hao still had a slight frown, probably thinking that Sang Youyou did not understand his meaning. Sang Youyou quickly took a deep breath and forced a bright smile at Huangfu Hao: "Mr. Huangfu, you can rest assured that my acquaintance with you is limited to today. After a while, once I go upstairs, I will delete your number and automatically erase any memories related to these two days. I will absolutely not cause any trouble to your work or life. Just consider that you have never known me..." Although Sang Youyou was somewhat oblivious, she had previously been involved in sales during her internship, so she naturally understood Huangfu Hao's concerns and couldn't help but reassure him to put his mind at ease.

"Wuwu, you are so fierce!" Lengnuanqing pitifully blinked her dark eyes at Sang Youyou, then bit her lip in frustration, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything..."

Seeing your state today, it is likely that you encountered an exceptionally difficult blind date and were affected by it. Sang Youyou nodded in understanding, casually patting Leng Nuanqing's shoulder, and reassured her, "It's alright, as a young woman, blind dating is quite normal, especially for a woman of a certain age; it is even more normal than usual."

Huangfu Hao smiled silently, slightly tugging at the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed ahead as he focused on driving

"Indeed, at the Imperial VIP." After finishing, Nangong Lin added, "However, she just went out with a little hoodlum, acting all mysterious. I have no idea what kind of mischief they are up to."

"A friend? Who? What is their name?" Leng Nuanqing asked indistinctly.

Huangfu Hao was bewildered, Sang Youyou was bewildered, while Leng Nuanqing had a broad smile on her face, leaning against Sang Youyou's shoulder, and fell asleep...

Sang Youyou innocently covered her ears, which had turned red from being pinched by her mother, and spoke with a hint of grievance: "It hurts... Mom, what do you mean by this?" How could it be reasonable to insist on having men come to the house to sit with one's own daughter? This is overly enthusiastic and gives off a casual impression, isn't it?

Hmm. Huangfu Hao responded calmly.

Sang Youyou nodded hurriedly and casually replied, "I did drink a bit too much"

"Sang Youyou!" Sang's mother shouted her full name loudly, then rushed towards her in a swift step, raising her hand to strike at her head

Then, there was nothing more to say. Leng Nuanqing let out a burp and sighed deeply, "So, love really is an unreliable thing. At the beginning, we loved each other so intensely, yet after parting, we still lived well. When we meet again, it’s just a nod and a greeting..."

What do you think? Cold and warm, Qing was irritated and ground his teeth.

"A day without seeing him feels like three autumns; I miss my son-in-law, is that not so?" Mother Sang replied without changing her expression, giving Sang Youyou two big eye rolls, and said, "You should invite Huangfu Hao to our house for dinner tomorrow"

Sang Youyou could only hastily wipe her delicate face, sniffed, and swallowed back those sour tears. She forced a smile at Mama Sang and nodded, saying: "Mom, you really can take a good break now"

Sang Youyou truly wished to cover Leng Nuanqing's mouth, how could she, a young lady, treat Huangfu Hao as a chauffeur

"You don't need to be so polite with me. I haven't properly thanked you today. Sending you home is just a matter of convenience," Huangfu Hao said to Sang Youyou in a serious tone. "Why are you just standing there? Help your friend into my car." Seeing Sang Youyou's slightly dazed expression, Huangfu Hao couldn't help but urge her.

"It's so boring for just the two of you to drink!" Mother Sang said with a calm tone, curling her lips slightly, and then added, "Why don't you invite Huangfu Hao to join you?"

"Order another one, can you finish it?" Sang Youyou hurriedly picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth, speaking indistinctly.

Sang Youyou remained silent, merely biting her lip as she gazed at Huangfu Hao

"Driver..." Leng Nuanqing's words were not yet finished when Sang Youyou quickly covered her mouth, smiling apologetically at Huangfu Hao: "I’m sorry, she has had too much to drink!" Turning her pretty face, she repeated to the mumbling and dissatisfied Leng Nuanqing, "Nuanqing, he is not the driver, he is Huangfu Hao!" Although Sang Youyou indeed regarded Huangfu Hao as the driver, she shouldn't keep shouting like that; it made Sang Youyou feel so embarrassed and awkward!

"Alright..." Sang Youyou agreed with a heavy heart

Yes, what is it?

"Huangfu Hao." Sang Youyou knew that it would be difficult to explain to Leng Nuanqing, so she lightly mentioned his name.

Sang Youyou had the security guard support Leng Nuanqing, as she had just found the key and had not yet had the chance to insert it. Suddenly, the door to the room swung open, and Sang Mama's still charming face immediately magnified in front of Sang Youyou. Sang Youyou quickly put away the key and offered a smile to Sang Mama, saying, "Mom, you didn't go out to play mahjong tonight?"

And then? Sang Youyou was not concerned about whether Leng Nuanqing and Ji Yeran had any romantic prospects, because, without a doubt, there was none! She was more curious about whether there would be any special sparks when Ji Ranxi and Leng Nuanqing, former lovers, met again

My blind date is Ji Ranxi's younger brother, Ji Yaran

Understanding love yet daring not to love again is, in fact, a rather sad affair. For one clearly yearns for love, yet paradoxically refrains from embracing it. Cautiously guarding oneself, one remains vigilant against all potential harm, and in the act of refusal, one inevitably loses the opportunity.

"How do I know when he is free..." Sang Youyou could only speak vaguely under the gloomy and cold gaze of her mother, silently adding in her heart, "I am not familiar with him at all"

Ah? No, that won't be necessary! Sang Youyou was somewhat taken aback; after all, Huangfu Hao was merely a stranger to her, someone she had met only twice, and whose character she was not yet familiar with. His assertive, domineering, and proactive demeanor made Sang Youyou feel awkward. She found it difficult to refuse him, yet at the same time, she could not comfortably accept his advances.

Indeed, it is more genuine than pearls. Huangfu Hao spoke earnestly, casually continuing the conversation with Lengnuan Qing.

Mother Sang remained quite calm in the face of this unexpected disaster. She glanced at Sang Youyou and comforted her in return, saying, "How can this be blamed on you? It was my own carelessness that caused me to fall."

"Wait, are they forcing you to go on blind dates, or have you already been forced to go on one?" Sang Youyou hurriedly focused on the key point in Leng Nuanqing's words, and judging by her current state, it was likely that she had already been on a blind date, and the experience could be considered quite unpleasant.

After a while, the atmosphere in the car quieted down as the playful banter ceased due to the change in temperature. Huangfu Hao turned his handsome face and revealed a bright smile to Sang Youyou, saying: "Your friend is indeed quite interesting..."

Later, with a slight frown and a calm tone, she said, "Later, we smiled politely, and he pointed to his daughter, calling me 'Aunt.'"

I would indeed like that. If you were to get married and have a baby now, I would immediately close the shop, retire, and take care of the child for you every day.

Sang Youyou swallowed hard, making a great effort to maintain a calm demeanor as she lied, "Mom, Huangfu Hao is not available tomorrow"

Sang Youyou looked up at the vast starry sky, feeling a slight sense of emotion in her heart. First love truly holds a significant weight in a person's heart. Those who are indifferent and not deeply invested in their feelings can easily find true love after parting ways. The deeper the feelings, the deeper the hurt. Those who have healed and are ready to love again are mostly individuals who understand love. Those who have healed but do not wish to start anew are often those who have come to understand love yet dare not love again.

The night after tomorrow, still not free

Upon reaching Huangfu Hao's car, Leng Nuanqing rested her head on Sang Youyou's shoulder, her drunken eyes hazy as she looked at the driver, Huangfu Hao. She reached out to tap the front seat, his chair, and, burping from the alcohol, said: "Driver, I have a question for you"

Huangfu Hao nodded with a smile: "Yes, I just had dinner with a friend inside." He pointed towards the Yue Lou, then gently glanced at Leng Nuanqing, and looked at Sang Youyou, asking, "Did your friend drink too much?"

"Don't, don't, don't touch me!" Mother Sang grimaced in pain, hurriedly pressing down on Sang Youyou's hand, "My back, I fear it has gone out!"

Sang Youyou hurriedly declined his kind offer, shaking her head and saying, "It's alright, thank you for today."

"It's nothing, just that the name 'Leng Nuan Qing' is quite well-known in the sales industry," Huangfu Hao casually laughed it off, secretly relieved that Leng Nuan Qing had drunk too much, otherwise... he would have become the willing lamb delivered to the door today...

Sang Youyou had just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when Sang Mama suddenly pinched her ear with a claw: "Huangfu Hao has already sent you home, why didn't you invite him to come in and sit for a while?" She glared at Sang Youyou with a face full of resentment, feeling that her daughter was not living up to expectations.

"Bar, I want to go to the bar! Youyou, we agreed to go to the bar today." Lengnuanqing, slightly dazed, heard the words 'bar' and immediately became excited, acting tipsy, pulling Sang Youyou, and shouting loudly. Huangfu Hao did not have time to hang up the phone, and Nangong Lin was momentarily taken aback, quickly asking: "Ahao, who are you with?"

Lengnuan tilted her head, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she furrowed her delicate brows and said earnestly: "It seems I do not recognize this friend..."

Have you encountered Qu Feifei? Huangfu Hao's handsome brows seemed to furrow even tighter

Huangfu Hao looked at Sang Youyou and Leng Nuanqing, who were engaged in a question-and-answer exchange, through the rearview mirror, involuntarily curling the corners of his mouth upward, making a concerted effort to suppress his laughter
