Chapter 04: My Helpless and Incapable Marriage Partner
Although Qi Weixiong and the others gave him no clues other than inviting him to meet, Qi Yue thought if his dream before was real, then Qi Lei might know who his blind date partner was.
The weak second son of the Shen family, Shen Kuozhi.
The Shen family was one of the top noble families in the capital city, while the Qi family was at best considered nouveau riche in front of the Shen family.
Qi Yue couldn’t understand why the Qi family had connected with the Shen family and how coincidentally they had ended up being compatible in the fortune teller’s eyes.
It was now twenty minutes before the agreed time, 5:40 in the afternoon.
The blind date was arranged at a classically decorated restaurant. It wasn’t large, but not just anyone could dine there; one needed status and reputation.
Just looking at the location, it was clearly arranged by the Shen family, not suitable for the Qi family.
It was Qi Yue’s first time approaching this restaurant. Even though it was a blind date, he didn’t intend to compromise himself.
“Are you Mr. Qi?”
Qi Yue was surprised that even before he spoke, the receptionist at the front desk had already politely asked him.
This level of service was unexpected, indeed.
“Do you have a reservation?”
“I do.”
“Your private room is this way, please follow me.”
One of the waiters walked out from behind the front desk and gestured for Qi Yue to follow him to the left.
“Thank you.”
Qi Yue nodded and followed the waiter to a wooden door with the inscription “Surprise Joy.”
The waiter opened the door for him and bowed slightly.
“Mr. Qi has arrived.”
“Thank you.”
The private room wasn’t large, but it was exquisitely decorated.
On one side of the room, there was a small screen, to the left of which was a wooden table, probably pear wood judging by its quality. On the right was a place for tea, and around the room were Chinese vases with fresh flowers.
Just the decoration of this private room alone was probably worth seven figures.
After Qi Yue entered the private room, the guiding waiter followed in and began brewing tea, displaying a professional technique.
It seemed this restaurant had its own merits.
In Qi Yue’s mind, if his blind date partner could come on time, it would be considered good enough, let alone early.
But unexpectedly, at 5:50, the door of the private room opened again.
Qi Yue instinctively looked towards the door, meeting the eyes of the person about to enter.
The person had shoulder-length black hair, much taller than the waiter beside him. His skin was very fair, his figure slender, as if a strong wind could blow him away, and his complexion was unnaturally pale, with faint lips.
In Qi Yue’s dream, the appearance of his plastic husband was always blurry and unclear. Who would have thought he would actually look quite handsome?
“Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Only one man entered, and the person behind him tactfully stayed at the door.
“No, the appointment was set for six o’clock, I arrived early.”
Although subconsciously Qi Yue didn’t feel fond of his marriage partner due to the dream he had before, since the other party was polite and hadn’t done anything to offend him, he would naturally treat him normally.
“I’m Shen Kuozhi, pleased to meet you.”
“I’m Qi Yue, hello.”
Facing the slender hand extended by Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue shook it briefly and then withdrew his hand.
“Let’s order.”
Although Shen Kuozhi’s voice was deep, it gave a gentle feeling, as if whispering in one’s ear.
Qi Yue felt his earlobes itch and a bit warm. Subconsciously, he touched his earlobes.
This person speaks with such a lack of energy.
The menu here was handwritten, with elegant names for each dish, but each dish also had its main ingredients listed, which was quite user-friendly.
Qi Yue naturally wasn’t shy about ordering several dishes he liked.
During the wait for the dishes, Qi Yue thought they would remain silent the whole time, after all, he didn’t have much to say to a stranger he had just met.
However, Shen Kuozhi ordered the dishes and then sent the waiter away. Now, there were only the two of them in the private room.
Qi Yue’s fingers pinched the edge of his pants under the table.
What did this surnamed Shen mean?
He wasn’t worried that this weak second son of the Shen family would do anything to him, but being alone with him was still strange, wasn’t it?
As if sensing his confusion, Shen Kuozhi chuckled lightly and said to Qi Yue, “Don’t misunderstand, I just want to have a private chat with you. This topic might not be convenient for a third person to hear.”
“What do you want to talk about?”
Qi Yue fiddled with the small teacup in front of him and asked.
“Qi Yue, I understand your situation, and I can help you. But I hope you can also help me. We both get what we need, fair enough?”
“Oh? I wonder what Mr. Shen needs my help with?”
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Kuozhi across from him.
He was a bit curious as to what the second son of the Shen family needed his help with.
“My health is not good, and my grandmother believes in fortune tellers, wanting to find me a spouse with a compatible destiny. I don’t want her, at her age, to worry about my affairs.
“If you agree to marry me, you only need to put on a show in front of my family. I won’t trouble you, on the contrary, I can help you in any aspect.
“What do you think? Don’t rush to refuse me, you can consider it, and if you have any other opinions, feel free to say.”
So this second son of the Shen family wants to find a contractual partner to take back? Then it wouldn’t be surprising if there were extramarital affairs later.
Qi Yue had only intended to come for a meal, never considering marriage.
But with Shen Kuozhi’s proposal, there was indeed some temptation.
On the way here, he had already checked the operation of Qi Weixiong’s company.
The stock market was currently showing a downward trend, but bankruptcy was still a ways off.
Qi Yue speculated that Qi Weixiong’s company was probably being greedy for a big project, temporarily unable to manage the funds.
Even without marriage, mortgaging assets to apply for loans could probably barely solve the crisis.
As for why Qi Weixiong was so eager to marry him off, it was probably because after the Shen family released the news of the engagement, his stepmother got wind of it and instigated him.
But they were all birds of a feather, and Qi Yue didn’t fancy associating with them, but he detested the feeling of being used.
Wanting to deal Qi Weixiong and the others a blow they couldn’t recover from, his own power was still too small.
Since Shen Kuozhi took the initiative to come, Qi Yue wouldn’t lose out.
If it weren’t for the mementos of his deceased mother still in the Qi family, he would have left long ago.
After making up his mind, Qi Yue didn’t take advantage of Shen Kuozhi. He nodded and said, “Deal.”
At this moment, there was movement at the door of the private room.
“Sir, would you like the dishes served now?”
The waiter delivering the food knocked on the door from outside and politely asked.
“Let’s discuss the specifics after dinner?”
“Okay.”
“Please come in.”
