Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 773: I’m a Face-Con

"Shanshan, long time no see." William nodded politely, speaking in somewhat broken Chinese.

In contrast to William’s courteous demeanor, Ji Shanshan appeared unusually ecstatic. She suddenly jumped up, wrapped her arms tightly around the man’s neck, her eyes sparkling with pure joy.

"William, I’ve been waiting for you forever! I’m so happy!"

William kept his gentle smile, quietly placing her hands down as he said calmly, "Let’s go."

"Alright."

Ji Shanshan couldn’t take her eyes off him, nodding dazedly.

After walking a couple of steps, she suddenly remembered she was holding a bouquet of roses. She quickly stuffed them into William’s arms: "For you—99 roses!"

"Thank you!"

William accepted the flowers with a warm smile.

With his tall and robust figure holding the large bouquet of roses, he naturally attracted the attention of passersby.

Ji Shanshan proudly clung to William’s arm, her smugness practically radiating even from behind her sunglasses. Walking with such a handsome foreign boyfriend, she felt especially proud.

Ji Shanshan’s car was parked just outside. The two got in, and the car quickly disappeared down the road.

...

Ji Wei arrived at the café at the agreed time with Xia Duoduo.

Xia Duoduo had already shown up first. To hide her swollen eyes, she’d applied heavy foundation and was wearing sunglasses.

Seeing Ji Wei step into the café, she quickly stood up and waved.

"Little Wei, over here!"

Ji Wei walked over and sat down across from her.

The waiter came by to ask what she wanted to drink, and Ji Wei ordered an iced cappuccino coffee.

She set down her bag and, unable to hold back, spoke immediately: "Duoduo, have you thought it through? Are you really going to go on a blind date?"

"Yes!" Xia Duoduo nodded firmly. "You have no idea—my mom is pressuring me like crazy, as if not getting married quickly makes me disobedient and ungrateful, some kind of heinous crime. Anyway, I’ve completely given up on the Great Demon King. Finding a guy to just get by isn’t the worst idea."

She picked up her latte and took a sip, its bitterness making her scrunch her face.

Ji Wei recognized she was acting out of spite and silently observed her for a while before speaking seriously: "Duoduo, marriage isn’t child’s play. An unhappy marriage hurts both parties—you really need to think this through."

"I know."

Xia Duoduo set down her coffee cup and lightly poked Ji Wei’s arm: "Can you not be so serious? I’m just here to take a look at the guy my mom introduced. At least it’ll stop her from nagging me incessantly—she’s driving me crazy. Whether it works or not is still up in the air! Don’t forget—I care about looks!"

Ji Wei smiled wryly: "Alright."

Ding-dong!

Xia Duoduo’s phone suddenly buzzed with a message. She swiped the screen to read it, then looked up at Ji Wei: "The guy says he’s parking now and will be here shortly!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Ji Wei grabbed her bag and stood up: "Then I’ll move to the seat next to you. Be reserved when he arrives—figure out his personality and interests first before deciding if you want to give it a try."

Having been hurt emotionally before, Ji Wei didn’t want Xia Duoduo to settle impulsively.

"Mm-hmm, got it!" Xia Duoduo replied eagerly.

Ji Wei had just taken a seat nearby when she saw a man dressed formally walking in their direction.

The man stopped at Xia Duoduo’s table, gazing at her as if trying to confirm whether she was his blind date. After a few seconds, he adjusted his glasses and spoke politely: "Excuse me, are you Miss Xia?"

Xia Duoduo, feeling slightly nervous, replied: "Yes, that’s me."

"Hello, I’m Wen Chun. I just returned to the country after graduating from Cambridge," the man introduced himself warmly, extending his hand.

Xia Duoduo blinked twice.

Wen Chun? Cambridge? A highly educated graduate who studied abroad!
