Master's Million Blind Wife

"There is a bloody smell in the air."    

Huo Chengzhou subconsciously raised his arm to sniff. His eyes fell on the leather jacket that he casually threw to the side. He twisted his finger and said, "I accidentally cut my finger when cutting the fruit."    

"Which hand?" Qiao An reached her hand over as if she wanted to touch it. "Is it serious?"    

Huo Chengzhou passed her finger, which was stuck to the Band-Aid, to her. "It's not serious. There is some blood."    

Qiao An's fingertip gently twisted on his wound. "That's good. I'll go up then."    

"Go on."    

Watching Qiao An enter the elevator, Huo Chengzhou let out a breath. His arm, which had been pinched by Qiao An just now, was aching.    

After entering the elevator, Qiao An raised her hand and sniffed Huo Chengzhou's finger, which she had just brushed with Huo Chengzhou's Band-Aid. The remaining trace of familiar perfume made her eyebrows slightly twist, and a deep look flashed across her eyes.    

...    

The next day, Saturday.    

Meimei called Qiao An to ask her out for a meal. Qiao An remembered that she still owed her a meal, so she agreed. The two of them agreed to meet at Huocheng Mall at 11 in the morning.    

Qiao An told Huo Chengzhou, and he told the driver to send her off. He also arranged for Little Qiao to follow closely.    

Qiao An could only bring Little Qiao out the door when her resistance was futile.    

Little Qiao was a girl who liked to talk very much. She nagged Qiao An along the way without stopping. When she got off the car, Qiao An even knew that there were a few wild cats beside Bamboo Listening Pavilion and what each cat liked to eat.    

"Little Qiao." Qiao An thought that she would see Meimei later and instructed, "Later when you see my friend, just call me Qiao An. Don't call me madam..."    

"Don't worry." Little Qiao said, "Sir has instructed that after I send you to the restaurant, you can go and play by yourself. When you send me the news, I will be back and won't disturb your gathering with your friends."    

"Okay, thank you."    

"What's there to be polite about?" Little Qiao smiled. "This is my job."    

After the bamboo forest incident last time, Qiao An had started to be wary of the servants in Bamboo Listening Pavilion, but this Little Qiao was really quite cheerful, which made Qiao An feel very relaxed.    

After sending Qiao An to the dining room to settle in a seat by the window, Little Qiao took her leave.    

Qiao An waited for 10 minutes before Meimei arrived. Similar to Little Qiao, Meimei was also a lively and talkative person. As soon as she sat down, she began to talk to Qiao An about the latest gossip.    

It was Qiao An who urged her to order the dishes.    

While waiting for the dishes, Meimei drank a mouthful of tea and continued her gossiping journey. "Oh right, have you noticed that Young Master Ling has been very busy recently?"    

"Is that so?" Qiao An thought for a while. "I haven't seen him much recently."    

"Yes, he was forced to go on a blind date by Mr. Ling." Meimei smiled, "I heard that the other party is the little princess of Shen family of Hangzhou. She is proficient in piano, chess, painting, and the Shen family is also a music family. The two families are considered to be well-matched."    

"Is that so?" Qiao An smiled, "That is quite suitable."    

"That's right." Meimei tsked, "But Young Master Ling doesn't seem to like it... I heard that he already used the excuse of being busy with work to push the meeting several times..."    

Qiao An had known Ling Yi for more than four years. The first time she saw him was during the piano competition hosted by Ling's four years ago. Because of her excellent performance, she received the first prize. It was Ling Yi who gave her the prize. After the ceremony, he even specially brought her to meet the old man.    

Qiao An and the old man had a very good chat, and they seemed to have forgotten their old age. In addition, Qiao An later got to know the old man as a professor overseas. In short, the relationship between them was getting closer and closer.    

However, her impression of Ling Yi had always been gentle and elegant. He was modest, polite, and filial. She did not expect that he would go against the old man's wishes because of the blind date.    

"Anyway, it's been spreading that Young Master Ling has someone in his heart, that's why he repeatedly refused the blind date..." Meimei suddenly leaned closer to Qiao An and asked with great interest, "Qiao An, you are familiar with Young Master Ling. Do you know who he likes?"
