NOVEL NEXT Chapter 740: 672
"I like him; he's so handsome!" The pockmarked face girl said, shyly lowering her head with a coy look on her face. She sneakily sized up Zhao Jun and secretly giggled; her infatuated expression was simply unmistakable.
Zhao Jun's face turned ashen in an instant! He stared at the charming beauty in disbelief. Shit, you're not Hu Lingzhu, what the hell are you asking?
"Yeah! Hmm! Although he doesn't seem like a man you can rely on for a lifetime, he's still not bad-looking, and his family has money; he's passable. Since you like him, we'll go back and tell your mom to agree to this marriage." The charming beauty sighed, looking as if she was doing Zhao Jun a favor.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Jun was genuinely frightened, feeling the urge to vomit as he looked at the pockmarked face girl's off-putting smiling face.
With a girl like her, even leaving aside 'that' matter, just living together would be torture!!
"What? Do you have anything else to say?" The charming beauty asked, dissatisfied.
"Actually, I'm not all that great, I..." Zhao Jun stumbled over his words, looking at Wu Xu and making obvious gestures with his eyebrows.
Wu Xu was speechless. Zhao Jun was normally so proud and knowledgeable, fluent in all sorts of subjects, and he had a way with words when chatting up girls. But who'd have thought that today, he'd be outfoxed by a girl—it really was a case of the eagle-eyed being pecked by the eagle.
"Hehe, may I ask for the lady's name?" Wu Xu interjected to ask.
The charming beauty shot a glance at Wu Xu and said, "What, you two want double happiness, planning to scoop up both sisters in one go?"
"No, no, we just happened to sit together by fate! But honestly, marriage is a big deal. It needs to be pondered slowly and carefully considered. Being together requires feelings, otherwise, you'll regret it later!"
"Don't worry, I fell in love with him at first sight, I absolutely adore him and will never regret it." The pockmarked face girl suddenly raised her head and said with determination, her tone unflinchingly steadfast.
"Uh..." Wu Xu was momentarily at a loss for words; what else was there to say when the pockmarked face girl had put it so bluntly.
Zhao Jun turned even paler, trembling suddenly announced, "I need to use the restroom!" and then bolted away.
The pockmarked face girl watched Zhao Jun's retreating silhouette and said dreamily, "So handsome, even the way he goes to the restroom is so stylish!"
Wu Xu suddenly felt something was amiss. The observer sees clearly, and after giving it some thought, he felt that these two girls seemed to be playing some trick. Otherwise, why would any girl make such a rash move on a first blind date without any prior knowledge?
Eyeing the two girls suspiciously, Wu Xu thought, "If only I could see through the identities of these two women!" As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Wu Xu was stunned.
His eyes suddenly heated up, and then the two girls underwent a drastic transformation in Wu Xu's eyes.
Above their heads, both women had a tuft of white vapor, which soared straight up, firm and sturdy, the length of chopsticks, the thickness of toothpicks. Looking at them, Wu Xu's heart rose with an inexplicable sense of enlightenment.
Forty-five, fifty-one!
What? Forty-five? Fifty-one?
What does that mean?
The next moment, Wu Xu noticed that the white vapor above the pockmarked face girl's head had about ten strands of red vapor sticking straight into the white, giving off an air of wealth. Meanwhile, the charming beauty had much fewer red strands, appearing more ordinary.
"Shit! What are all these??" Wu Xu stared at the two girls, his thoughts in utter disarray.
"Hey, what's that look for? Haven't seen a beauty before?" The two girls felt very uncomfortable under Wu Xu's gaze, as if he could see right through them. The charming beauty asked a bit defensively.
"Ah! Oh, no, nothing." Wu Xu hastily forced a laugh, yet he still kept sneaking glances at the two women, then his gaze shifted away, only to find that at the Yunxiao Hotel, each person dining had a bowl-sized tuft of white vapor above their heads. When Wu Xu looked their way, a number would appear in his mind, some large, some small. However, few had red vapor within the white, and even those who did only had two or three strands, which was nothing compared to the pockmarked face girl.
Damn it! What on earth is this? Wu Xu was extremely confused; he was seeing such bizarre things. Could it be because he was shocked? Wu Xu thought back to the afternoon's prank and the electric shock!!
"Ding, ding, ding! Ding, ding, ding!"
Suddenly, his phone vibrated with a new message, nearly causing Wu Xu to curse out loud.
The message was from Zhao Jun, asserting righteously that blind dating was out of the question, and he had suffered severe emotional trauma, needing to find other attractive girls for treatment; the rest was left for Wu Xu to deal with and so on, followed by a series of praises like "a brother who would take a knife for a friend."
This guy, he'd actually been scared away!
Taking a deep breath, Wu Xu rapidly thought out strategies, an unnatural expression on his face.
The charming beauty and the pockmarked face girl exchanged glances, both revealing smiles in their eyes. The charming beauty coughed and said, "Wu Xu, Zhao Jun has been gone for so long, shouldn't you go check on him?"
"Uh, no need, actually, Zhao Jun mentioned he had an emergency and had to leave first." Wu Xu really was out of good ideas, so he simply had to use Zhao Jun as an excuse. After all, that guy didn't want this marriage anyway—at worst, they'd each go their separate ways.
"What? He left? How could he leave? I like him so much; I'm going to find him back, I want to marry him." The pockmarked face girl suddenly looked the picture of tragedy, a perfect image of a castoff wife.
