Chapter 5

I have something to attend to, you can take Tong Tong with you. " Huo Yiting said expressionlessly as he turned to leave, his tone dictatorial, leaving no room for discussion

Having finished tidying up, she turned around and found Huo Tongtong standing behind her, blinking her big eyes in confusion and asking: "Teacher Jiang, why are you wearing makeup?"

A gaze filled with evident sympathy swept across her face. "You must be having a hard time," Huo Yiting said, narrowing his eyes and asking earnestly, "Teacher Jiang can run, right"

Jiang Luting almost bit his tongue

Huo Yiting was much taller than her, and when he looked at her, his gaze naturally carried a sense of superiority, subtly imbued with an air of condescension and scrutiny. She initially did not want to tell the truth, but upon meeting his gaze, she lost the courage to tell a lie. This person was particularly perceptive, aware that she would add prefatory words when she was speaking nonsense.

Gu Miao stopped in her tracks and looked at Jiang Luting with a serious expression: "This time, I am accompanying you to the blind date not only to help you take care of the child but also to keep an eye on you. There are some things, could you refrain from saying them?"

Jiang Luting said goodbye and then took Huo Tongtong's hand, leaving the living room

After changing clothes and coming out of the changing room, Gu Miao's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "Ok, this is it!"

As a result, the outcomes of several blind dates were the same; the other party avoided contact and there was no further communication

Gu Miao rolled down the car window, took off her sunglasses, and looked her up and down with a disdainful expression: "Are you really going to wear that for a blind date?"

Time was of the essence, and there was no opportunity for careful selection. Jiang Luting casually picked up a dress and turned to seek Gu Miao's opinion.

Gu Miao reported the room number, and the attendant led the two individuals to the end of the corridor

Gu Miao placed her hands on her hips and said fiercely: "What do you know? Blind dates are all about showcasing your greatest assets. If you can make a B look like a D, then you must never let it look like a C."

Huo Yiting glanced at her casually and said, "Your skills are quite comparable." After speaking, he turned around to pick up his fishing gear and headed out.

The employees in the store and Ge Miao were laughing so hard that they nearly fell over, while Jiang Luting sighed, holding her forehead: "Isn't it true that like father, like son? Can't you just praise me as the king of the Kingdom of Women?"

Typically, this expression of his signifies that the document currently under review is of great importance and requires careful and rational consideration. Therefore, it is absolutely impermissible for anyone to disturb him, and there must be complete silence in the surroundings. Even passing by, one should breathe as lightly as possible.

Jiang Luting immediately noticed that it was a strapless, off-the-shoulder style, and her expression was quite troubled

Jiang Luting looked in the mirror and was startled; it was just too alluring

The door opened, and a young man stood up from the sofa

Huo Tongtong pouted and said, "No, I want to follow the teacher." He clung to the door with both small hands, determined to go in no matter what.

Jiang Luting was startled, feeling both nervous and embarrassed; in a moment of carelessness, she almost tripped over the rope herself

Goodbye, Dad

Gu Miao exclaimed, "Sister, do you think you are a celestial being? That others would be so captivated by you at first sight, disregarding everything else. Could you not develop some feelings with them before making such assumptions?"

Gu Miao pinched his beautiful little face and smiled, "Yes, looking pretty is essential for going out to enjoy a grand meal"

Jiang Luting patted her chest and said, "You see, I am always very proactive during blind dates. I even dared to wear such sexy clothes. What more do you want from me?"

Gu Miao, without further ado, selected a pair of 7-centimeter high-heeled peep-toe shoes for her, discarding her 3-centimeter wedge shoes with a swift motion into the trash can, an action that left Jiang Luting heartbroken.

Due to his experience in writing, Jiang Luting has a general understanding of the prices of luxury cars. Looking at this vehicle, a string of zeros immediately surfaced in his mind, followed by a question mark. Does a man like this still need to go on a blind date

Jiang Luting hesitated whether to quietly "drift" out or to softly greet.

What does "again" mean? Why does it sound like it is mocking her for being engaged in matchmaking activities all day long

"The Whole World" is a well-known high-end club in City S, featuring a restaurant, a cinema, and a café. Most importantly, it has a children's playground. Because she is taking Huo Tongtong on a blind date, Gu Miao temporarily changed the location of the date to here, planning to have dinner and then take Huo Tongtong to the playground, allowing Jiang Luting and Shen Zhuo to have some time alone together.

Time is of the essence, and Jiang Luting was afraid that this little fellow would cause a commotion that would be difficult to manage. In desperation, he had no choice but to let him in, thinking to himself that after all, he was just a four-year-old little brat who understood nothing

Gu Miao glanced at her: "Isn't it good to be tall, handsome, and rich? He is the legendary diamond bachelor"

Not only did he bring his son to the blind date, but he also brought himself? What kind of joke is this

Huo Tongtong nodded slightly, as if he understood

Gu Miao stroked his chin and nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, as the saying goes, a person needs to be well-dressed just as a Buddha needs to be adorned in gold. This outfit certainly makes for a stunning beauty."

Even Huo Tongtong stared wide-eyed and exclaimed: "Wow, Teacher Jiang is as beautiful as a fairy from the Spider Cave!"

Jiang Luting pressed her lips together and said, "I know you have good intentions, but I do not wish to deceive others"

Jiang Luting : `` ... ... ''

Talking to him is truly a rhythm that can drive one to frustration in just a matter of minutes

Huo Tongtong blinked and asked dutifully, "Teacher Jiang is taking me to enjoy a grand meal around the world, Dad, are you coming along?"

Jiang Luting smiled and touched her head: "Thank you, Miss Gu, for the reward"

Jiang Luting could not help but roll her eyes upon hearing that jarring term

Huo Tongtong had no objections to going out for a lavish meal and happily pulled Jiang Luting downstairs immediately

Gu Miao pouted, her face filled with disdain: "Come on, such an old-fashioned style, my mom wouldn't even wear it. What kind of taste do you have, you country bumpkin"

It is fine as long as one does not bend down; however, once one lowers their head, the valleys on the chest become subtly visible.

Huo Yiting sat on the sofa in the living room with his long legs crossed, resting his chin on one hand, his brows furrowed, with a document placed on his knee

As they reached the corner of the staircase, Huo Tongtong and Jiang Luting synchronized their steps and paused, then, in unison, they lightened their footsteps.

You should know that this time it is essential to achieve victory right from the start and to succeed effortlessly, so as to honor my sincere efforts

Jiang Luting was so furious that he almost spat blood in his face; any human would be able to run, right

Huo Yiting, upon seeing this, stood up from his chair, took long strides, and walked down the steps

Thank you, Mr. Huo, there is no need to trouble Zhang Chi, my friend will come to pick me up

Shen Zhuo smiled as she extended her hand, a string of agarwood prayer beads on her wrist unexpectedly catching Jiang Lvting's eye

Huo Yiting stopped, turned around to look at her: "What is it?"

Jiang Luting immediately expressed that she would definitely perform well and be fully committed

By the time it was 10 o'clock, Jiang Luting went to the bathroom to wash her face again and comb her hair. Since she was going on a blind date, it would not be appropriate to appear without any makeup. To show respect for her date, she symbolically applied a bit of lipstick.

Although she is not a stunning beauty at first glance, she excels in her gentle temperament and fair complexion. Moreover, her smile reveals two dimples, making her warm and lovely, with a charming grace. The only drawback is her height, but with high heels and a flower bud skirt, she appears to have a great figure, graceful and slender.

Gu Miao said anxiously: "Do you know that not finding a boyfriend for a whole day is a heavy psychological burden for your aunt?"

Gu Miao unceremoniously pushed her into the changing room and was about to close the door when Huo Tongtong's small hand clutched the door frame, "Teacher Jiang, I want to go in too"

Jiang Luting sighed while tugging at her hair: "There's nothing I can do; this is what it means to be at the mercy of others. Please inform Mr. Shen that the blind date should be rescheduled to Monday." Unlike others, she was actually busy on the weekend and needed to ask Huo Yiting for leave to go out

Huo Yiting lifted his eyelids and made a sound of acknowledgment

The corset dress accentuates the beautiful and full curves of the chest, revealing just the right amount of alluring undulations that spark the imagination, after a winter of concealment, the skin is smooth and radiant, surpassing even the frost and snow.

Jiang Luting : `` ... ... ''

Jiang Luting said with a smile: "However, there must be some who are bold. I must thank the heavens for giving me an opportunity to test true love"

Jiang Luting felt a surge of blood rise in her throat.

Gu Miao was also anxious upon hearing this, "What do you mean by bringing a child to a blind date? Those who don't know might think it's your son. How could Huo Yiting do this?"

Jiang Luting Road: "I didn't bring my card"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes in silence and pointed to a white Bentley among a row of luxury cars, saying: "This is Shen Zhuo's car"

Jiang Luting felt a bit embarrassed and was just about to say that Dad should not go

This means it is a form of permission, but the term 'permission' can provoke anger

She clutched her chest in protest, saying, "This is not acceptable, it's too revealing"

Jiang Luting's body was covered in goosebumps. It turned out he had an appointment with someone at "the whole world". Fortunately, it was in the afternoon; otherwise, it would have been quite awkward if they had run into each other.

Jiang Luting sighed: Even with so much wealth, why must one still be so good-looking? Is there no way left for the ordinary male fellow citizens?

Huo Yiting responded with a sound of acknowledgment and then sternly added: "Stay close to the teacher, and do not run around."

Huo Yiting's appearance is already exceptionally outstanding, and Shen Zhuo is not inferior in comparison.

Jiang Luting certainly cannot say that she is going on a blind date, and that she wants him to accompany her. She bent down, smiling as she stroked his hair, "Hmm, teacher will take you to enjoy gourmet meals around the world, how about that?"

Jiang Luting prefers tranquility over activity. During school, apart from sit-ups, his performance in other physical education activities hovered around the passing mark. Upon hearing this request, he felt a tightening in his heart and mustered the courage to refuse: "Tongtong should run with Mr. Huo instead." After all, he runs every morning, so it would be convenient to take his son along.

As I stepped out of the door of the Huo residence, Gu Miao's Beetle car happened to arrive before my eyes

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Are you wrapping yourself up so tightly to qualify for free shipping, dear? Fortunately, I arrived early, and I still have time to buy you a piece of clothing"

Jiang Luting was on the verge of madness, looking at Huo Yiting with a sense of "deep sorrow and despair"

Gu Miao glanced at her and said, "Can this be considered an early birthday gift for you?"

Gu Miao unceremoniously swatted her paw away and directly pulled Jiang Luting and Huo Tongtong into the brand store she frequently visited

Alas, it is truly a dilemma.

Huo Yiting glanced at her, lowered his eyelids, and said, "You go ahead, I have an appointment with someone in the afternoon"

She went on a blind date with someone unrelated, named Huo Tongtong. What is going on? After being speechless for a while, she had no choice but to call her friend Gu Miao.

In fact, she feels that her current situation raises suspicions of dragging others down when seeking a partner. However, she has not been looking for a boyfriend, and her mother, Ye Huizhi, is filled with guilt, believing that the family has burdened her and delayed her happiness

It is a pleasure to meet Miss Jiang

Huo Yiting lowered his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "Have Zhang Chi take you there"

In order to reassure her mother, Jiang Luting made an effort to create an appearance of actively seeking a boyfriend. She participated enthusiastically in every blind date, but during each meeting, she candidly informed the other party about her situation.

Huo Tongtong said: "Then Dad, let's go"

Mr. Shen is quite busy, and it is not easy to reschedule. Gu Miao gritted her teeth and said, "I will go with you; I will take care of Tong Tong like a nanny, and you will be responsible for the blind date with Mr. Shen"

Isn't it more painful to break up after developing feelings? It is better to be clear about it from the beginning

Huo Yiting responded in a tone as bland as plain water: "Going on another blind date."

She redundantly asked, "Is he very wealthy?"

Jiang Luting did not expect that he would actually ask her about something, and hesitated for a moment

Huo Yiting's eyelids lifted slightly

Riding a horse leaning against the slanted bridge, the entire building is adorned with red sleeves invitingly

Huo Tongtong looked at the dazzling array of clothes and asked with confusion and curiosity, "Teacher Jiang, aren't we going for a feast?"

Jiang Luting silently swallowed a mouthful of blood and called out to him: "Mr. Huo, I am taking a two-hour leave during lunch to step out for a while"

Half an hour later, Jiang Luting, with one hand holding Huo Tongtong and the other linking arms with Gu Miao, unsteadily arrived at the blind date venue in seven-centimeter high heels

In the future, I will take Tongtong for a run on weekend mornings

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "What positivity is that? On the first meeting, you laid bare the situation at home, scaring everyone away."

Jiang Luting was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Could you and Aunt Gu Miao wait for me outside? The teacher needs to change clothes, and since you are a boy, you are not allowed to look."

Stepping into the resplendent "World", one feels as though they are wandering through a grand palace oil painting. The elevator stops on the ninth floor, where the staff warmly and attentively greet the guests.

Jiang Luting calmly put the clothes back. Because of Huo Yiting's "pearls and jade before", Gu Miao's level of sharp-tongued attacks had completely lost their impact on her

Jiang Luting sighed with a smile: "You are truly dedicated as a matchmaker"

Gu Miao personally took action and selected a golden-pink flower bud dress for Jiang Luting, commanding her to change into it

Jiang Luting quickly forced a faint and appropriate smile, wondering to herself: Didn't he say he had something to do today and would be going out? Why is he still at home?

Upon hearing that the other party was a wealthy bachelor, Jiang Luting immediately relaxed both physically and mentally. There was no point in being anxious about something with a success rate of zero

She has written countless stories of Cinderella marrying her Prince Charming, yet in reality, she has hardly ever seen such a thing. He Yu and Huo Yiting can barely be considered a couple, and the outcome is well known

Jiang Luting took Huo Tongtong to have breakfast, played in the garden for a while, and then led him back to the room. According to Huo Yiting's instructions, he began to teach him the first section of the "Disciples' Regulations." Huo Tongtong was intelligent and had a good memory, making the teaching process not difficult. However, as a child, he was naturally active and did not enjoy memorizing such dull and uninteresting texts.

It is indeed a bit awkward to discuss such topics in front of him, and as she spoke, she blushed

What happened? Jiang Luting tugged at her light gray long skirt, feeling perplexed. The dress featured a stand collar and long sleeves, exuding elegance and intellect, which she believed was most suitable for a blind date

Jiang Luting felt increasingly embarrassed, and without needing to look in the mirror, he knew that his face must be flushed red at that moment

After some thought, she decided to speak frankly: "I am going on a blind date"

After being fully armed, Jiang Luting in the mirror has undergone a magnificent transformation

Gu Miao cheerfully introduced the two, displaying the demeanor of a professional matchmaker, and was very proficient in her role

Upon seeing Jiang Luting, a single thought crossed my mind: with a look like this, what on earth is the point of seeking a match
