The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me-Chapter 186: Blind Date

Blind Date!

Ye Jinchen's heart skipped a beat. Lin Yijun was going on a blind date!

"Your family is urging you to get married?" Ye Jinchen couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yijun nodded, "Yeah, after all, I'm already twenty-five, almost thirty. Some of my friends are already dating, but I'm still single. My mom is quite anxious about it."

Lin Yijun said that while staring at Ye Jinchen intently, as if trying to read his expression.

However, Ye Jinchen's fist was clenched tightly behind his back, but his face remained calm and composed, leaving Lin Yijun somewhat disappointed.

In Ye Jinchen's mind, two little figures were battling fiercely. One said, "Do you like her? If you do, go for it! Don't let her go, just confess your feelings to her!"

The other one said, "What's there to pursue? With your thick skull, you'll only hinder the girl's life. Just let her go and let her pursue her own happiness!"

After three hundred rounds of fierce battle in Ye Jinchen's mind, he finally spoke, "Well, just be careful then. Even though it's a blind date arranged by your family, you should still get to know the person thoroughly before making any decisions. With your excellent qualifications, you'll definitely find the most suitable partner. Don't get carried away by love."

Ye Jinchen didn't even know what he was saying. All he knew was that after he finished speaking, Lin Yijun smiled at him, then continued with her work, and he went back to his office in a daze.

The entire morning, Ye Jinchen was distracted and barely made any progress on a document he had been staring at for over an hour.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye?" Lin Yijun called out.

"Huh?" Ye Jinchen snapped out of his daze and seeing it was Lin Yijun, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yijun spoke professionally, "The documents I sent earlier, have you signed them? They're needed this afternoon. I'm about to leave, so I need to pass them on to Aimei if you haven't."

Of course, Ye Jinchen hadn't signed them. The document he was holding was one of those very files.

Slightly embarrassed, he said, "Well, I haven't signed them yet. If you have something to attend to, just go ahead. I'll process them and let Aimei know directly."

Lin Yijun sighed, "Alright then, I'll leave first. See you tomorrow, Mr. Ye."

After Lin Yijun left, Ye Jinchen looked at the pile of documents on his desk, furiously rubbing his face. He even skipped lunch and entered work-mode, processing the documents.

Ye Jinchen took the signed documents to Aimei's desk, still maintaining his authoritative demeanor.

"These are the documents needed for this afternoon. Lin must have briefed you about them, right?"

Aimei nodded, "Yes, Mr. Ye."

Ye Jinchen nodded, and just as he was about to turn and leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Lin tell you where she was going?"

Aimei had a gossipy expression, "Yes, she's going on a blind date. I heard that the guy is a returned overseas Chinese, handsome and quite busy with work, frequently traveling to different places. He's going out of town on a business trip tonight, so he squeezed in some time this afternoon to meet her at Yunhai Shopping Mall for a movie."

She added enviously, "Lin is so lucky! Of course, an outstanding person should find another outstanding person!"

Ye Jinchen didn't say a word and returned to his office. Outside, a group of assistants were still chattering away, discussing Lin Yijun's blind date.

Ye Jinchen sat in his office, but the usually soft and comfortable executive chair felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat.

He couldn't help but get up and walk to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing towards the direction of Yunhai Shopping Mall.

Was he willing to accept this? Of course not!

But after two years without any progress in his relationship with Lin Yijun, Ye Jinchen started to doubt if he was destined to be alone forever.

At that moment, his phone rang. He subconsciously took it out and saw a message from Xiao Jinmeng.

Jinmeng: Bro! Alert! Alert! I saw Yijun and a man at Yunhai Shopping Mall!

Then she immediately sent a photo, a sneakily taken picture of Lin Yijun and the man together.

In the photo, the two kept a certain distance, with Lin Yijun's expression neutral, while the man looked at her tenderly.

Jinmeng: Bro! That guy doesn't seem straight to me, trust my intuition, it's usually accurate!

Xiao Jinmeng was inspecting her brand's store at Yunhai Shopping Mall when she spotted Lin Yijun with the man, setting off alarm bells in her mind. She immediately reported it to Ye Jinchen.

Ye Jinchen only replied with a brief "Hmm", leaving Xiao Jinmeng fuming.

"Whatever, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, who's to blame? Sigh, perhaps they were just not meant to be. If that's the case, why should I worry so much?

At least Yijun doesn't seem to like that guy, as long as he doesn't scam her into marriage, it should be fine."

What Xiao Jinmeng didn't know was that after replying with "Hmm", Ye Jinchen kept staring at the photo she sent, lost in thought.

A moment later, as if he had made up his mind, he grabbed his coat and left the office.

At that moment, Lin Yijun was having coffee with her blind date, Zhao Yan, at a café. Although not very interested, she remained polite and didn't play with her phone.

Zhao Yan spoke gently, "I heard from Auntie that you work at Ye's Group as the CEO's executive assistant?"

Lin Yijun smiled professionally and nodded.

"That's impressive. To become the CEO's executive assistant at Ye's Group right after graduating from college, your capabilities must be exceptional."

"It's alright," Lin Yijun smiled awkwardly.

"Let me introduce myself. I've been in T-country for over ten years and only returned to Hai City to develop my business this year. However, my work requires frequent travel around the world, but the income is quite substantial."

"If you're open to it, I'd like to buy our marital home outright and put it under your name."

Lin Yijun was taken aback, "Ah? Are blind dates this direct nowadays?"

"Oh, since I just returned to Hai City, I don't qualify for a housing purchase yet, so I can buy the house outright and put it under your name."

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate..." Lin Yijun was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Zhao Yan smiled, "Let me be honest with you. I actually didn't plan on getting married, but my family was pressing me hard, so I had to come to this blind date. But now that I've met you, I think marriage could be a good choice. I need a wife, and you need a husband. I want you to see my sincerity."

"However, I haven't really interacted with girls before, so I may be a bit abrupt in doing this, but I really want you to know that I'm sincere about you."

Lin Yijun didn't know what to say. In fact, she hadn't made up her mind to get married. Was twenty-five years old too young?

She didn't think so. Even if she was thirty-five, she didn't want to hastily marry someone she wasn't familiar with.

Perhaps she did have some expectations, hoping that the man she had in mind would take the initiative.

But sometimes she wondered if she was thinking too much, if she was being too narcissistic to think that Ye Jinchen, the famous rich young master of Hai City, would like an ordinary girl like her.

Especially his attitude today made her feel that she was indeed being narcissistic.

Lin Yijun smiled bitterly in her heart. Perhaps, perhaps starting a new life would be her best choice.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"She doesn't need to!"
