Chapter 47: Ruining Lu Chenzhou’s Blind Date
[Ding. You have a new mission order.]
Shen Chi had been living quite comfortably as an NPC. If not for this sudden order, he would have almost forgotten that his system was still a mission system.
“Huh? There’s actually a mission. I almost forgot you came with missions.”
The system puffed out its chest. [Of course. If there were too many missions, I’d stop working.]
It sounded rather proud of that.
Shen Chi did not know whether to laugh or cry. “What do you want me to do now?”
[Sabotage the male lead gong’s blind date.]
Shen Chi’s steps paused. He suddenly remembered that Lu Chenzhou had told him he had a lunch appointment today. It couldn’t be this one, could it?
He slowly raised his head and looked at the other man. Lu Chenzhou raised a brow. “What are you looking at me for? Want to take the medicine yourself?”
Shen Chi’s medicine was still in Lu Chenzhou’s hand. Seeing this, his first reaction was actually wanting to hide the medicine, lest Lu Chenzhou take it back and say more things that made him want to die.
“No.” Shen Chi said, “I suddenly remembered President Lu has a lunch appointment…”
Before he could finish, Lu Chenzhou frowned, and a little coldness appeared on his face. “Secretary Shen wouldn’t be trying to use being sick as an excuse to refuse me, would you?”
Shen Chi had lived two lives and had never done something as immoral as ruining someone else’s blind date. He was afraid that one day, he would go out and get struck by lightning.
“No. I just remembered that the company schedule didn’t show you had a lunch appointment today. Was it arranged suddenly? Is there anything I need to do?”
Hearing that it was not a refusal, Lu Chenzhou’s cold, handsome face eased slightly.
“It was indeed arranged suddenly.” He looked at Shen Chi’s curious gaze, then stiffly added, “My mother arranged it.”
Shen Chi was startled. “So it’s a private meal?”
Lu Chenzhou was afraid that the more Shen Chi knew, the more unwilling he would be to go with him. He knew Shen Chi had clear boundaries and did not want to get too involved in his private life. Seeing this, he directly grabbed Shen Chi’s wrist and said stiffly, “Why are you asking so much? Won’t you know when we get there?”
He grabbed him and walked a little quickly. Shen Chi’s legs were not as long as his, so in order to keep up, he had to jog along the way. By the time they reached the underground parking lot, because of his physical condition, he was already a little out of breath, and his face had turned red.
When Lu Chenzhou stopped, he saw Shen Chi looking slightly disheveled.
A layer of fine sweat had appeared on his forehead, his beautiful eyes gradually becoming moist. Even his face was stained with a peach-blossom pink, and his rosy lips were slightly parted, his breathing heavier than before.
Lu Chenzhou knew Shen Chi was beautiful, but he had not known that he could be beautiful in such a delicate way.
Just like… someone who had been badly bullied.
A faint tremor stirred in his chest. Lu Chenzhou was already used to it. Ever since Shen Chi appeared by his side, his heart no longer belonged to himself.
“If you can’t keep up, won’t you say something?” Lu Chenzhou suppressed the emotions in his heart and said expressionlessly, “Do you not have a mouth?”
If he did not have a mouth, that seemed quite nice too.
If he was bullied, he would only sob and cry, unable to even beg for mercy.
Shen Chi knew this man was nasty, but he had not expected him to spare not even a patient!
He was so angry he clenched his fists. Thinking of how he would have to ruin Lu Chenzhou’s blind date later, he no longer felt that guilty.
“I didn’t dare say anything. I was afraid of delaying President Lu’s lunch appointment.” He imitated Lu Chenzhou’s expressionless look as he said this.
Lu Chenzhou: …
The lunch appointment was at an extremely elegant restaurant. The interior was arranged in a traditional Chinese style, and as they walked in, they could hear the lingering sound of a guqin.
When Lu Chenzhou and Shen Chi arrived, the other party was already seated. Seeing them come over, that person stood politely.
“President Lu.”
The moment he spoke, Shen Chi nearly did a split.
Wait?!
That voice… sounded like a man’s, right?
Compared with Lu Chenzhou’s indifferent expression, Shen Chi’s little expression was far more interesting. His face was full of stunned disbelief, almost writing all his inner thoughts directly across it.
Yet that face of his was also extremely beautiful.
The moment the other party saw him, his hand was extended toward Lu Chenzhou, but his eyes were fixed straight on Shen Chi.
“And this gentleman is…”
Shen Chi said, “Ah, hello. I’m President Lu’s secretary. You can call me Shen Chi.”
The other party hesitated for a moment, then decisively abandoned Lu Chenzhou and turned his hand toward Shen Chi instead. “Hello, my name is Jiang Lige. You can also call me Gege.”
Shen Chi: …
He’s trying to take advantage of me, isn’t he?
“Mr. Jiang.” Shen Chi said, “Hello.”
Lu Chenzhou’s face had turned black. Expressionlessly, he reached out and took Jiang Lige’s hand. However, he only shook it perfunctorily for one second before bringing Shen Chi to sit down.
The moment the three of them met, the atmosphere quickly became strange.
The other party was dressed in a playful girl’s outfit. His dopamine-style outfit made him look youthful and energetic.
Even after sitting down, Shen Chi was still a little dazed. He asked the system, “This is the person going on a blind date with Lu Chenzhou?”
The system said, [Aiya, don’t look at how harmless he seems. He’s full of schemes.]
Shen Chi immediately sat up straight like an obedient kindergarten child. “Explain in detail.”
The system said, [Earlier, the male lead shou Ye Suxi was an Omega pretending to be a Beta. This one in front of you is an Alpha pretending to be an Omega. He’s the youngest young master of the Jiang family. Since he was born from a second marriage, and Old Master Jiang is already very old, his older brother sees him as a thorn in his eye. In order to avoid being targeted by his brother, he directly pretends to be an Omega.]
Shen Chi:!!!
A cross-dressing big shot was already one thing, but he was also an Alpha pretending to be an Omega!
The system said, [But it’s fake after all, so his Omega pheromones are very faint. He was diagnosed as a weak Omega. In the wealthy family circle, no one looks highly upon a weak Omega. It just so happens that Lu Chenzhou has pheromone disorder, so his parents are treating a dead horse like a living one and arranged this blind date for him.]
Shen Chi did not understand, but Shen Chi was greatly shocked.
“Could this Jiang Lige actually be trying to have an AA relationship?”
The system said, [If he was simply dating, then at most he’d just be a lovesick fool, but he isn’t. At this blind date, he reaches a fake relationship agreement with Lu Chenzhou and uses the Lu family to deal with his older brother. That’s why, when he finds out Lu Chenzhou and Ye Suxi are together, he’s the first one to jump out and cause trouble. His goal is to force Ye Suxi away.]
After hearing this, Shen Chi nearly felt dizzy.
And when he grew dizzy, he met Jiang Lige’s gaze.
The other party held his cheeks and looked at him with a smile. If the system had not told him the right answer, he would never have believed that this person was actually an Alpha!
“Mr. Shen, has anyone ever told you that you’re very beautiful?” Jiang Lige ignored Lu Chenzhou’s murderous gaze. Under Shen Chi’s indescribable expression, he sighed again. “Such a perfect face is far too suitable for women’s clothing.”
Shen Chi: …
“Thank you, but I’m not particularly interested in women’s clothing.”
Jiang Lige said, “Mr. Shen, don’t speak too absolutely. Everyone has a first time. What if you end up liking it?”
Lu Chenzhou’s expression turned cold. Flirting with his secretary right in front of him? Did Jiang Lige think he was dead?
“Mr. Jiang, if your ears are useless, you should donate them.”
Jiang Lige tilted his head. His gaze moved back and forth between the two of them. “President Lu, you’re so domineering. Those who know would think Mr. Shen is your secretary. Those who don’t might think he’s your wife.”
Shen Chi had been awkwardly drinking water. The moment these words came out, he sprayed it on the spot.
