Chapter 936: Chapter 868: The Circle is Small_2

Plus, his own son wasn’t just any student studying abroad, and certainly not one of those so-called academic failures abroad, but a Boss who had become worth tens of millions of US dollars before even graduating!

Did that girl from the Han family really match up to his son?

Hearing Dad put it that way, Mom started to hesitate too.

"That’s true, how come I didn’t think of that before? There aren’t any good universities in Peng City, just the one Peng City University, which seems to be just an ordinary undergraduate university.

In the past, someone even introduced me to Director Zhang’s daughter from the Hutong behind our place. She’s indeed a student of high caliber, seems to be in the same year as Xiaoye, studying at Tsinghua!"

Wang Ye was even more speechless, that was Zhang Xiaoxi they were talking about!

Ah, that’s just how small county towns are, with such a small circle, where almost anyone you pull in is an acquaintance, somehow connected to you.

"Forget it, I have already agreed with Old Han, and it wouldn’t look good to back out now. Xiaoye, just go and meet Han Xiaodan, have a chat." After all, Mom made the final decision.

What could Wang Ye say? He could only nod and agree.

It was just a formality anyway. He just didn’t know what he should say when he finally met Han Xiaodan...

......

About the "blind date" thing for her son, Mom was quite enthusiastic.

She called Old Han that very night to set up a time, asking Wang Ye to drive to the city the next afternoon to meet Han Xiaodan.

It was also because Wang Ye wouldn’t be staying at home for long, and besides, Han Xiaodan was about to start her new term and return to Peng City, everyone was in a rush!

And so, after sleeping in at home, it was almost noon the next day when Wang Ye was awaken by his mother.

"Xiaoye, get up quickly! Look at the time, have some lunch and then you should head to the city."

Wang Ye sluggishly got up to wash and randomly pulled out a T-shirt and a pair of shorts from his Suitcase, and with flip-flops on, he went downstairs.

Only for Mom to see him and glared with widening eyes.

Pointing at Wang Ye, she said, "Are you meeting a girl dressed like that?"

Wang Ye looked down at his clothes. Although there weren’t any exaggerated logos, these were real luxury brands.

Take the flip-flops on his feet for instance: Hermes leather flip-flops, retailing at over two thousand US dollars.

The shorts and T-shirt were Givenchy, and they too were pricey.

"Huh? What’s wrong with these clothes? It’s so hot; it’s comfortable to wear this." He asked, puzzled.

At the end of August in Mainland, it is indeed unbearably hot.

Even if the car had air conditioning, he would be sweating buckets just stepping out and walking a few steps.

Wang Ye couldn’t possibly suit up in a Suit just to meet someone and end up with heatstroke...

"No, no, flip-flops and shorts are too informal, and it looks disrespectful to the girl. I get it, you’re picky now, aren’t you? Do you feel that the girl your mother has introduced isn’t good enough for you, and you’re dressing like this on purpose so they’ll back off?"

Mom sure thought too much...

Wang Ye could only surrender, "Okay, okay, I’ll change my pants and shoes in a bit, alright?"

Only then did Mom get off his back.

It was just Wang Ye and Mom for lunch as Dad had gone to the factory early in the morning and wouldn’t be back until evening.

After lunch, Wang Ye went back upstairs to change into a pair of casual trousers and casual shoes, which Mom barely approved of.

Pocketing his phone and wallet and grabbing the car keys, Wang Ye was ready to leave.

Mom had already obtained Han Xiaodan’s mobile number for him, instructing Wang Ye to call her after he arrived in the city.

As for the meeting place, Mom had already taken the liberty of setting it for them – by the city’s riverside park gate!

According to her, it was to have the two of them walk in the park together, chatting as they stroll.

No help for it, this was the best spot in the city...

It is said that it’s the most frequented place by the city’s young couples in love, this little park.

......

The black Mercedes Benz zoomed off, quickly covering the distance from the county town to the city; it was only a twenty-minute drive.

Wang Ye parked the car near the riverside park, took out his phone, and retrieved the piece of paper with Han Xiaodan’s phone number, given to him by his mother.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and dialed the number.

There was no avoiding it after all!

The call connected swiftly, and a gentle girl’s voice came through.

"Hello, this is Han Xiaodan. May I ask who’s speaking?"

Listening to this voice, both strange and familiar, Wang Ye’s heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

He composed himself, took a deep breath, and answered, "Hello Han Xiaodan, this is Wang Ye."

"Ah..."

There was a soft exclamation from the other end of the line, followed quickly by, "You... Hello, Brother Ye, have you arrived?"

That call of "Brother" from her made Wang Ye lose his focus again...

"Yes, I’m at the park. Are you here yet?"

"I’m under the big tree on the right side of the park entrance, taking shelter from the sun. I haven’t seen you, what color is your clothing..."

By now Wang Ye had spotted Han Xiaodan not far away, scanning the area hopefully.

She wore a simple floral print long dress with ear-length hair that the breeze was gently tousling, standing there looking fresh and lively.

He lightly pressed on the gas pedal, and the car glided over.

Han Xiaodan also noticed the boxy "Jeep."

But the prominent Three-pronged star emblem on the hood was enough to prove this was no common BJ Jeep from the townships, but a "noble" Mercedes-Benz!

Being a university student in a first-tier city like Peng City, even if she wasn’t much interested in cars, she was naturally aware of the renowned name of Mercedes-Benz.

So to see a rare Mercedes in a small city like her hometown, she couldn’t help but give it a few extra glances.

The car stopped beside her, the window slowly rolled down, and Wang Ye waved at her.

"Han Xiaodan, get in."

It was then Han Xiaodan realized that sitting inside the car was that "Brother Ye"...

The reason she called Wang Ye "Brother" was because her parents and Wang Ye’s parents were acquaintances, and Wang Ye was older than her.

Calling him brother could alleviate the awkwardness between them at the first meeting, and even if things didn’t develop further, it wouldn’t matter.

Han Xiaodan hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Wang Ye’s suggestion, cautiously opened the door, and got in.

As soon as she sat down, she seemed a bit out of her element, stealing a glance at Wang Ye only to have her pale cheeks flush with two spots of red, and she quickly shifted her gaze away.

Her heart was fluttering "thump thump" relentlessly.

This Brother Ye seemed even more handsome than her dad had described...

Indeed, Han Xiaodan’s father had met Wang Ye before, but that was when Wang Ye was still in high school.

According to him, Wang Ye was quite tall, clean-cut, not bad-looking!

When Han Xiaodan heard this, she naturally didn’t hold much hope, because in such matters, people generally tend to speak positively.

If someone looked average, they would be described as pretty decent.

If someone was ugly, they would still be referred to as tall, fair-skinned...

But upon this meeting, Han Xiaodan felt like she might have mistaken him for someone else—Brother Ye was far from being just not bad-looking, he was incredibly handsome!

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that even the heartthrobs from the popular Korean wave of recent years didn’t look better than Wang Ye upon closer inspection!

Especially, Wang Ye had a certain indescribable quality that Han Xiaodan couldn’t put her finger on.

Charisma?

Presence?

Aura...

Anyway, she couldn’t describe it, but it was that feeling that upon one glance, you could tell that this man was extraordinary!

Being beside this man gave her an invisible sense of security, as if she no longer needed to worry about anything, as though he could easily handle whatever happened...

Of course, these were just her feelings, perhaps they were just illusions!

Unaware of what Han Xiaodan was thinking, Wang Ye looked at her openly and frankly.

Compared to when they knew each other in his past life, she was clearly much more innocent; after all, Han Xiaodan was only in her junior year now.

She must be only nineteen this year...
