I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

He glanced at Ye Qingning and nodded slightly in greeting, but then his expression became a little cold.

"I have something to leave beforehand." His voice was low, with a trace of unquestionable determination in his tone, as if he was not interested in the upcoming party.

Lin Ruoyun rolled her eyes at him gently, with both helplessness and deep endearment in her eyes.

"You are such a person." Although her voice was soft, it was full of understanding and tolerance for her husband.

However, she did not miss him too much and instead focused all her attention on Ye Qingning. It seemed that Pei Tianxiong's departure did not have much impact on her.

"Ignore him, we are here just to have a good chat with you." Lin Ruoyun's attitude made the whole atmosphere relaxed. Her concentration and enthusiasm made Ye Qingning feel an unprecedented warmth.

After Pei Tianxiong left, the atmosphere was not affected by his indifference.

Lin Ruoyun turned all her attention to Ye Qingning. Her enthusiasm was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating every corner of Ye Qingning's heart.

Lin Ruoyun enthusiastically pulled Ye Qingning to sit down and started flipping through the menu.

Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was choosing a precious gift for a friend she had reunited with after a long separation.

"Qing Ning, every dish in this restaurant is carefully selected. Is there anything you particularly want to try?" Lin Ruoyun asked gently.

Ye Qingning was touched by Lin Ruoyun's concern. She smiled slightly and browsed the menu.

But I know in my heart that rather than enjoying the delicious food, it is better to enjoy the feeling of being cared for and valued. "Auntie, I'm not very familiar with the food here, so I'll let you recommend it."

Lin Ruoyun felt even more relieved to see Ye Qingning trusting and relying on her so much.

She carefully selected several signature dishes and specifically asked Ye Qingning if she had any food allergies. Every detail reflected her attentiveness to Ye Qingning.

After ordering, Lin Ruoyun put down the menu, and her eyes fell gently on Ye Qingning, as if she wanted to see through this young girl the friend who had grown up with her son.

"Qing Ning, you have been working and studying abroad during this time, and you must have experienced a lot. Is there anything special that you want to share with me?" Lin Ruoyun asked softly, her voice full of encouragement.

When Ye Qingning heard Lin Ruoyun's sincere question, she slowly let go of her guard.

She began to talk about her experiences over the years, including the challenges at work, the joys and sorrows in life, and her vision for the future.

Lin Ruoyun listened very carefully, nodding from time to time to express understanding, and occasionally sharing some of his own opinions and suggestions, which made Ye Qingning feel very warm.

Soon, exquisite dishes were brought to the table one after another, each one a feast for the eyes and taste.

Lin Ruoyun's selection undoubtedly reflects her familiarity with the restaurant's dishes and consideration of Ye Qingning's preferences.

In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, Lin Ruoyun began her "matchmaking plan."

"Qing Ning, I remember that you and my Jingchuan have been very close since childhood, right?" Lin Ruoyun smiled, as if opening the door to a beautiful memory.

Ye Qingning nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face. "Yes, Auntie. We grew up together and have many shared memories."

"Jingchuan, although he is very busy at work now, when he talks about you, it is always special." Lin Ruoyun said lightly, but the meaning of the words was self-evident. There was a kind of expectation in her eyes, as if she was Look for Ye Lime’s reaction.

Ye Qingning's heart tightened. She didn't expect Lin Ruoyun to be so direct. She was slightly embarrassed, but she still tried her best to stay calm. "Jingchuan has always been excellent, and I respect him very much."

Seeing that Ye Qingning was a little embarrassed, Lin Ruoyun smiled softly and changed the topic, but soon cleverly changed the topic back. "You know, Qing Ning, although Jingchuan usually doesn't express much, he is very sincere towards his friends. A good friend like you has a very important place in his heart."

Ye Qingning felt a subtle discomfort in Lin Ruoyun's words.

Although Lin Ruoyun's tone was full of tenderness, Ye Qingning felt a vague pressure. The uncertainty about the future relationship made her heart full of contradictions.

"Auntie, Jingchuan and I are indeed very good friends. I cherish our friendship very much." Ye Qingning tried to respond in a calm tone. She tried hard to hide her inner fluctuations, but there was inevitably a trace of confusion in her eyes. .

In the relaxed and pleasant lunch atmosphere, Lin Ruoyun suddenly changed the direction of the topic, and with a serious and expectant expression, he directly asked a key point, "Qing Ning, I want to ask you a question directly, I hope you don't mind. How do you feel about Jingchuan? Do you like him? "

This question was like a sudden bomb, making Ye Qingning's heart skip a beat.

She didn't expect Lin Ruoyun to be so direct, nor was she prepared to answer such a question.

A subtle expression flashed across Ning's face, and her heart was in turmoil, but she still tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

Ye Qingning smiled and tried to use humor to resolve the embarrassing situation, "Auntie, you asked this question...of course I like it. Jingchuan and I are good friends who grew up together, and the relationship between us is... It's like being a brother and sister. He is a very special existence in my heart."

When Lin Ruoyun heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. Of course she could feel the sincerity in Ye Qingning's words, but at the same time she also noticed the subtle avoidance.

Lin Ruoyun's brows furrowed slightly, her gaze penetrated the relaxed atmosphere of lunch and directly targeted the issue in Ye Qingning's heart that he least wanted to touch.

"Qing Ning, let me ask you directly, aren't you considering marrying Jingchuan?" Her voice was low, revealing a seriousness unique to her mother.

Ye Qingning felt a sudden pressure, her heartbeat accelerated, and the smile on her face solidified at this moment.

She didn't expect Lin Ruoyun to push the topic into this sensitive area so bluntly.

At this moment, Ye Qingning felt an unprecedented dilemma.

She knew that any careless answer might hurt the heart of the elder who cared about her growth.

Ye Qingning took a deep breath, her brain turning rapidly, looking for an answer that would avoid facing this problem directly and not hurt Lin Ruoyun's feelings.

Her eyes lit up slightly, as if she had caught a suitable solution.

"Auntie," Ye Qingning pretended to be frightened, with a hint of joking and innocence in her tone, "Marriage? How is this possible? I...I already have a boyfriend."
