CHAPTER 997: CHAPTER 137: AN AWKWARD ENCOUNTER

Chapter 137

Yan Yuan was speechless. When Su Meili spoke to this extent, she naturally couldn’t say more.

"Alright, since you’re so sincere. I’ll go with you, but I won’t be responsible for whatever happens later."

"What do you need to be responsible for! Just come with me." Su Meili urged.

Yan Yuan changed her clothes and left with Su Meili, bringing Yu Heng along.

Today’s shoot was completed smoothly, and Yan Yuan was also very happy.

As for the competition with Song Ming, winning or losing didn’t matter anymore.

At a luxurious hotel, the Su Family had already reserved an ultra-large VIP room here.

As they were introducing a match for Su Meili, it was natural for both sets of parents to bring their children to meet.

Su Meili had been hanging out with Yan Yuan all day and hadn’t gone home to tidy up.

Mr. and Mrs. Su were worried sick about their daughter, especially since they were already at the hotel and still hadn’t found Su Meili.

Just when they were extremely anxious, Su Meili called.

"Mom and Dad, don’t worry, I’m on my way." Su Meili was hiding with Yan Yuan in the lounge behind the hotel lobby.

"Hey, what exactly are you planning?" Yan Yuan asked.

"In a moment, I’ll go up to meet the parents. The Nan family probably hasn’t arrived yet. Later, I’ll find a way to get Nangong Cheng’s photo to you, and then you pretend to be me and intercept him. Then just say you already like someone else."

Yan Yuan felt that Su Meili’s ridiculous plan was unreliable.

"Don’t set me up. Won’t your parents come after me?" Yan Yuan felt she couldn’t help her with this.

Su Meili nonchalantly patted Yan Yuan’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve got everything here."

Afterward, Su Meili went into the elevator heading to the restaurant the Su Family had reserved earlier.

Shortly after Su Meili left, three people walked in from the hotel entrance.

A woman dressed in flashy jewelry, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence, and a young man in a suit, looking handsome and composed.

Yan Yuan didn’t need to guess to know that this family trio must be the people Su Meili mentioned.

Yan Yuan touched her chin and decided to turn around and act as if she didn’t see anything.

So, she pulled Yu Heng along, had the waiter serve a few desserts for Yu Heng, and sat in the lounge eating.

She calculated that Nangong Cheng would follow his parents upstairs, and would definitely run into Su Meili then.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Yan Yuan, and she truly had no need to follow Su Meili’s absurd idea and get involved.

Just as Yu Heng was happily eating desserts, suddenly the waiter brought Nangong Cheng in.

Yan Yuan looked up and met the man’s eyes right on cue.

Yu Heng blinked her cute big eyes, eating while looking at Nangong Cheng.

For a moment, the three people in the room stared wide-eyed at one another.

"Sister, is this person Nangong Cheng?" Yu Heng asked Yan Yuan, pouting.

Yan Yuan forced a smile, "I don’t know, I don’t know him."

Nangong Cheng, full of curiosity, told the waiter beside him, "Go fetch the bouquet I reserved."

His voice also had a very steady and magnetic tone.

If Bai Chenxi was the pristine and enigmatic dawn,

Then Nangong Cheng was the mysterious and elegant night.

They were two completely opposite temperaments.

After the waiter left,

Nangong Cheng looked at Yan Yuan and asked, "Miss, do you know me?"

"Yes!" Yu Heng.

"No!" Yan Yuan.

Both spoke almost simultaneously.

Yan Yuan shot a glare at Yu Heng, giving her a look that meant not to cause trouble.

Yu Heng, however, smiled cheerfully at Nangong Cheng and said, "I know you’re here for a blind date!"

Nangong Cheng immediately became interested in this little girl with delicate features.

He stepped forward, sat beside Yu Heng, and with a smile asked, "How do you know I’m here for a blind date?"

"I won’t tell you." Yu Heng pouted. In truth, she was afraid Yan Yuan would get mad at her.

So, she answered teasingly.

Yan Yuan stuffed a piece of pastry into Yu Heng’s mouth, saying, "Eat your snacks and don’t talk nonsense. Finish them, and I’ll take you to buy your favorite dried fish."

"You said it, I want a big bag." Yu Heng’s eyes immediately lit up. Though she looked young, she really loved those spicy dried fish.

Nangong Cheng looked at the pair, big and small, in front of him with curiosity.

The two seemed to know him but didn’t elaborate.

He had just returned to the country; when did he become so famous?

"Miss, what’s your name?" Nangong Cheng asked.

Yan Yuan was about to speak when her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was a call from Su Meili.

"Sorry, I need to take this call." Yan Yuan stepped out with her phone.

"Yueyue, did you see Nangong Cheng downstairs?" Su Meili asked.

Yan Yuan glanced back at the man chatting with Yu Heng in the lounge and said to Su Meili, "I did!"

"Great, I’m coming down now. Remember, right now you are me, don’t blow your cover. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble." Su Meili hurriedly hung up.

Yan Yuan stared at her phone, speechless, and muttered at it, "Idiot!"

Did Nangong Cheng look like someone easy to fool?

Their parents were all there today; if she accidentally let it slip...

Would she still be able to stay in this city?

Offending two Financial Consortiums, she wasn’t that foolish.

Besides, Su Meili and Nangong Cheng were just on a blind date, not about to tie the knot immediately.

Yan Yuan returned with her phone.

Nangong Cheng was chatting happily with Yu Heng.

Clearly, Yu Heng was a little charmer; anyone who saw her couldn’t resist her allure.

"Yu Heng, Su Meili will be down soon. We better make a quick exit!" Yan Yuan didn’t bother to avoid letting Nangong Cheng hear.

Nangong Cheng realized, just as he suspected, that these two knew Su Meili and were aware of tonight’s meeting.

"Miss, what does this mean? You are Miss Su’s friend?"

Yan Yuan nodded, "She asked me to break up the couple, but I can’t do such a pointless thing, so we better scoot."

Yu Heng also cheerfully slid off her chair, holding Yan Yuan’s hand, and said, "Sister, Sister Su asked you to pretend to be her. You haven’t fulfilled your promise!"

Yan Yuan glared at Yu Heng and whispered, "I’m not as dumb as her! Let’s go quickly!"

The pair, intending to make their escape.

At the lounge entrance.

Su Meili directly blocked the doorway.

"Where do you two think you’re going?" Su Meili still didn’t know Yan Yuan had sold her out.

When she saw Nangong Cheng, she immediately grabbed Yan Yuan’s hand and yelled, "Su Meili, if you don’t like him, just say so, why hide here!"

Gag gag gag...

The awkward sound left everyone at the scene dumbfounded.

Su Meili had threatened Yan Yuan, making her pretend to be her. However, she was unaware that Yan Yuan had already betrayed her.

Nangong Cheng looked at the two girls acting in front of him, finding it amusing.

To prevent the real Su Meili from being embarrassed.

He looked at Yan Yuan and said, "Miss Su, you just said you weren’t. Is deceiving me a prejudice on my part?"
