CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 27: MO YING’S BLIND DATE_3
"If it weren’t for the fear of ruining friendships, I really wouldn’t want to agree to this blind date. If you two get together, wouldn’t it just be that you don’t see me, I don’t see you, and in the end, there’s no chance to cultivate any marital affection..."
Mo’s mother started her nagging mode, and although her words showed she wasn’t optimistic about the blind date between Brother Ye Wenting and Mo Ying, she had a good impression of Ye Wenting as a person.
Listening to Mo’s mother sentence by sentence, Du Xixi felt that if Ye Wenting wasn’t involved in research and had more free time, he would be the perfect choice for a son-in-law in Mo’s mother’s eyes.
Seeing Mo’s mother’s endless chatter, Mo Ying had no choice but to casually stall with a few words before closing the video call. Once she hung up, she quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Oh my, mom’s nagging is truly terrifying.
Ke Xing held back his laughter and commented seriously, "Seems like this Ye Wenting is a decent candidate for a blind date. Mo Ying girl should meet him properly; if it’s suitable, it would be good to settle it early."
Du Xixi, snuggled in Ke Lian’s embrace, nodded immediately and said, "Exactly, a good man should be captured early, so he won’t be snatched away by others."
Ke Lian rarely agreed as well, "That’s true. First, establish the relationship, and the feelings will be cultivated gradually."
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Du Xixi in his arms, with a focused gaze full of gentle affection, making Du Xixi blush deeply and bury her flushed face in his chest unwilling to come out, clearly shy.
Ke Lian laughed repeatedly.
Ke Xing: ...I feel stuffed.
Mo Ying: ...Weren’t we talking about my blind date? How did it suddenly shift to you two?
Although Mo Ying felt speechless about Ke Lian and Du Xixi’s public display of affection, she couldn’t deny the shameful feeling that Ke Lian was right. After all, a living example was right in front of her!
Du Xixi and Ke Lian initially followed an arranged marriage without any emotional foundation to live together. Mo Ying had overheard Du Xixi mention casually that before their wedding day, Ke Lian and Du Xixi hadn’t even met!
But what was the result? Du Xixi was pregnant, and Ke Lian’s affection for Du Xixi grew deeper day by day. Mo Ying wasn’t blind; she could see that Ke Lian’s feelings for Du Xixi weren’t just because she was pregnant.
That day, when Ke Lian protected Du Xixi coming back from the Imperial Palace, he seemed unaware of her pregnancy at the time? Yet he still closely shielded her, and when she felt unwell, he personally carried her upstairs, not leaving her side.
These gestures might be because a husband needs to be responsible to his wife, but Mo Ying preferred to believe that Ke Lian had genuinely developed feelings for Du Xixi.
Mo Ying pursed her lips slightly, looking somewhat enviously at Ke Lian and Du Xixi, who were clearly in a loving embrace, secretly making a decision in her heart.
Since Du Xixi and Ke Lian could do it, why couldn’t she Mo Ying and Ye Wenting? With few meetings and love after marriage, she wasn’t incapable of accepting it!
Just a blind date, Mo Ying was on board!
Watching Mo Ying leave with a confident stride, her silhouette even exuded a hint of regal dominance, Du Xixi and Ke Lian standing outside couldn’t help but laugh.
"Hope Mr. Ye Wenting can capture Sister Mo Ying’s heart," Du Xixi sincerely wished for Mo Ying, who was already on the path to her blind date, while pulling on Ke Lian’s sleeve with affection, "Do you think they’ll succeed?"
"They will. I wish them well," Ke Lian said as he hugged Du Xixi again, gently rubbing his chin against her forehead. He also hoped Ye Wenting and Mo Ying could be together.
After all, once Mo Ying had a boyfriend, she probably wouldn’t come to bother Du Xixi often... right?

Meanwhile, Mo Ying was full of confidence on her way, only to feel unfortunately timid upon reaching the pre-arranged blind date location.
The blind date location was a plaza with great scenery, and there weren’t many people around. Mo Ying had just stepped off the hovercar and stood firm when she spotted the slender figure standing in front of the sculpture.
A bit familiar, overlapping somewhat with the memory of that cheerful older brother’s figure.
"Brother Wenting..." Mo Ying softly murmured, her voice effortlessly carried into the man’s ear by the breeze.
Ye Wenting turned slightly, his stern face adorned with glasses. He looked at Mo Ying for quite a while, finally focusing on her eyes with a gentle smile, "Long time no see, Yingying."
Yingying...
Mo Ying’s nickname...
Even after becoming an adult, not even her parents often called her by this nickname...
Mo Ying only felt a "boom" in her brain, her face heating uncontrollably, especially her eyes that dared not meet those increasingly gentle eyes.
Mo Ying: Thanks for the invite, I’ve been caught off guard...

That night, after Ke Lian and Du Xixi had just sent off Ke Xing, who was leaving for a few months’ travel with old buddies, they welcomed Mo Ying bringing her boyfriend home.
Mo Ying held Ye Wenting’s hand, somewhat stiff yet shyly introduced, "Xixi, Marshal, this is my boyfriend, Ye Wenting."
Ye Wenting was somewhat more at ease than Mo Ying, intertwining his fingers with hers, then smiled, "I’m Ye Wenting, Yingying’s boyfriend."
Ke Lian & Du Xixi: ...That was a bit too fast!
