CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 27: MO YING’S BLIND DATE_2

He rubbed his slightly protruding belly, and instead of asking the lovey-dovey couple whispering sweet nothings nearby, he looked at Mo Ying, who also seemed to be a bit full across from him, and said affectionately, "Mo Ying girl, you just left yesterday and came again today. Is there something going on?"

"It’s nothing major." Mo Ying was startled by his words, then smiled a bit shyly, "I told my parents about the blind date last night, and they’ve already arranged it. I’m meeting the aristocratic family’s kid this afternoon."

Ke Lian and Du Xixi, hearing this, couldn’t bother with whispering if the food was good or if they were happy. Together with Ke Xing, they looked at Mo Ying, their eyes not only filled with surprise but also relief.

Du Xixi felt especially relieved. She had been worried about Mo Ying’s situation, concerned whether she could let go of Bai Zhan yesterday and whether she would go on the blind date this morning.

Now, hearing Mo Ying say it herself, a huge weight was lifted from Du Xixi’s heart. She regarded Mo Ying as someone she cared about, and naturally, hoped that Mo Ying could find a true loving partner.

As for Bai Zhan...

Du Xixi didn’t want to speak ill of anyone, but to her, Bai Zhan indeed was not a good match for Mo Ying. Mo Ying deserved better choices.

"Did you know the person you’re going on a blind date with?" Du Xixi looked at Mo Ying with concern, her face unconsciously showing a bit of a gossiping expression.

Ke Lian and Ke Xing felt the same way.

Knowing that the three in front of her were all concerned about her, Mo Ying felt warmth in her heart, her shyness slightly fading, and said with a bright smile, "I’ve met the aristocratic family’s kid before. Although he’s not from our Military Department, he’s kind-hearted and a good big brother."

"Has he ever been married?" Ke Lian frowned, starting to consider Mo Ying’s situation as well.

Mo Ying’s age was in fact not exactly young; most women her age were already married with children, some even having their second or third child. It was only because she had always been fixated on Bai Zhan that it was delayed until now.

According to Mo Ying, the blind date seemed to be a few years older than her. It’s not a problem for a man to marry late, but what’s important is that he’s never been married before. Otherwise, Mo Ying might feel a bit aggrieved.

Du Xixi valued Mo Ying and thought she could have better, so Ke Lian also had to ask carefully, to avoid Du Xixi being worried about Mo Ying afterward.

Mo Ying, although unclear on the reason, still shook her head: "No, he’s from the Imperial Research Institute. Previously, he was busy doing research and didn’t have time to talk about marriage."

There is a connection between civil and military; Ke Lian is from the Military Department, naturally falls under "military," but the Military Department is also very close to "civil." The Imperial Research Institute specializes in researching various weaponry technologies, so when Ke Lian heard Mo Ying say this, he gained more trust in her blind date.

If he could get into the Imperial Research Institute, he probably wouldn’t be too bad.

Ke Lian didn’t ask more, while Du Xixi asked, "He was busy with research before, so is he not busy now? Can he talk about marriage now?"

With these words, everyone present froze, exchanged glances, feeling a bit strange too.

Indeed, it’s well-known that the Imperial Research Institute is busy; while it has quite a few talents, it’s not that many. Every year, there are reports of researchers unable to bear it and withdrawing, so logically, the blind date should be even busier than before.

How come he has time now when he didn’t have time before?

Mo Ying, being straightforward, didn’t care that Ke Lian and the others were sitting nearby. She directly turned on her Light Computer and connected to a video call with her mother. The video call was facing Mo Ying, so Mo’s mother couldn’t see Ke Lian and them beside her.

"Mom, can you tell me more about the Ye family’s brother?" Mo Ying referred to her blind date, Ye Wenting, as "Ye family’s brother."

Mo’s mother on the other end seemed to be resting at home with no one else around, responding with curiosity, "Didn’t I already tell you? Your Ye family’s brother is an honest person, just came back from vacation at the Research Institute, and his mom contacted me after hearing you were going on a blind date."

"Just like that?"

"What else?" Mo’s mother seemed to roll her eyes, "Honestly, I wasn’t keen on you and Wenting going on a blind date. He might be good-looking, have a decent salary, and socially fit your background, but he’s too busy with work!"

"You are already quite the busy bee, previously busy for months without me seeing you return home once! Wenting is into research, and by then, it’ll also be ten days to half a month without seeing a trace of him!"
