Chapter 186 Quick Step (Ch 186)

Hehe~

Qi Jia picked up the blanket on the ground, covered the assistant’s head with it, and ignored her.

Turning his attention back to his phone, Zhang Ruonan sent him two more messages.

“My mother arranged it behind my back.”

“It’s so boring. I want to escape, but I can’t.”

Alas, what are the old Zhang couple trying to do? Qi Jia rubbed his eyebrows, wondering why Zhang Ruonan had become a star.

Why did her parents trick her into going on a blind date? Even if she wasn’t a star, she’s only 22 years old this year. Why are they so eager to get married?

Let me talk about two things.

Zhang Ruonan sat on the sofa with a polite smile on his face.

Opposite her, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was talking incessantly about their married life.

There was one thing she didn’t tell Qi Jia. The blind date her parents arranged for her today was 32 years old, ten years older than her!

“Oh, it’s so boring. It would be great if Qi Jia was here. What is he doing now?”

Zhang Ruonan was daydreaming, thinking about Qi Jia, while politely answering the other party’s questions.

“Being a star must be very hard, right?”

“good.”

“It’s so hard, the income should be very high, right?”

“good.”

“So do you usually attend various banquets?”

“good.”

…

No matter what the other party asked, Zhang Ruonan always answered politely with two words “OK”.

Finally, Zhang’s mother couldn’t stand it anymore, so while serving the fruit, she secretly poked her and asked her to be more serious.

“Ruonan, what’s your impression of me?”

The blind date man looked at Zhang Ruonan tenderly, and addressed her as Ruonan instead of her surname.

It seems that he has a very good impression of Zhang Ruonan. He is probably just waiting for Zhang Ruonan to nod, and then the two of them can go to get the marriage certificate immediately.

Zhang Ruonan felt helpless. She regretted coming back for the New Year. She thought, if she had known, she would have stayed in the apartment and waited for Qi Jia to come back.

“Also…” She just opened her mouth and said a word, but was glared back by her mother.

He pursed his lips, thinking about what to say so as not to offend anyone, when his cell phone suddenly rang again. It was Qi Jia calling again.

Zhang Ruonan was just worried about what to say when she was pardoned. This call came at the perfect time.

So, I picked up the phone and said, “Sorry, my agent is calling me. I need to take a call.”

After saying that, he hurriedly went to run the car. Because he walked too fast, he accidentally kicked over the kid’s toy car.

“Haha, that’s just her personality. She’s always startled. Sorry for making fun of her.”

When Zhang’s mother saw Zhang Ruonan’s flustered look, she knew that she must have been holding back her fart, so she could only cover it up awkwardly.

“It’s okay, Auntie. I like girls with lively personalities like this.”

The blind date guy didn’t care at all. While talking, he diligently poured tea for Zhang’s mother and almost called her mom.

“Hey, are you done filming?”

Zhang Ruonan ran outside and carefully answered the phone.

“Hmm” Qi Jia hummed softly.

Hearing Qi Jia’s familiar voice, Zhang Ruonan’s depressed mood became much happier.

Feeling a bit cold outside, she switched her hand to hold the phone.

He blew a few puffs of hot air onto his original hand and said helplessly,

“My mother arranged it behind my back and lied to me that a relative was coming over and asked me to put on some makeup and dress nicely.”

“Doesn’t your mother know that you are an artist now? Why did she arrange a blind date for you?” Qi Jia asked.

This was a question that had been puzzling him since a while ago, and he didn’t understand it.

Zhang Ruonan pinched the snow on the ground with her hands, made a small snowball, threw it hard, and said in frustration,

“I feel it’s not safe, and say it’s better for girls to get married early.

I’ve gotten used to it over the years. When I was 20, she started arranging blind dates for me…”

This was the first time Zhang Ruonan took the initiative to talk about his past, and Qi Jia just listened quietly.

But when I heard that she was arranged by her family to go on a blind date when she was only 20 years old, I was still shocked.

Normally, this is the age to go to college, right? Unexpectedly, Zhang’s mother’s ideas are so advanced.

Qi Jia did not interrupt until Zhang Ruonan finished speaking. Then he spoke.

“Give the phone to your mother and let me talk to her.”

Zhang Ruonan was stunned for a moment. She could hear the seriousness in Qi Jia’s tone. He was not joking.

“Ah? What are you going to say to her?”

As soon as the voice fell, Qi Jia on the other end of the phone said confidently,

“Of course you’re claiming your sovereignty, otherwise I can’t accept her arranging blind dates for you all the time.”

There was a hint of sourness in her tone at the end, and Zhang Ruonan felt like her heart was about to burst with joy.

But she still persuaded calmly, but the happiness in her words had already overflowed.

“You are stupid, aren’t you? If you make it public now, what if someone with ulterior motives uses it to write a story? You won’t be able to achieve your goal.”

“Huh.” Qi Jia snorted coldly on the other end of the phone, and said in a reckless tone: “My mother-in-law opened the door to welcome the thieves. My house is about to be robbed. How can I care so much?”

Puff~

Zhang Ruonan couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he heard him say that.

But she soon stopped smiling, her face flushed red, she spat a little embarrassedly, and whispered,

“Bah, who is your mother-in-law? You are so shameless…”

Before she finished speaking, she laughed out loud again.

Just when I was about to say something else, I saw Zhang’s mother coming towards me, so I hurriedly said,

“My mom is here. I’ll text you on WeChat later. Just focus on filming. I’ll come to see you in a few days.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry without waiting for Qi Jia to answer.

“Who called you?”

Mother Zhang came forward and looked at her daughter suspiciously. She felt that her current mood was completely different from before.

“Mom, why are you out? It’s so cold outside.”

Zhang Ruonan didn’t respond, but walked forward, took Zhang’s mother’s arm, and said with a smile,

“Humph,” Zhang’s mother snorted in annoyance and said, “What else can I do except look for you? If you don’t go back, people will think that the blind date is me.”

Zhang Ruonan turned a deaf ear to her mother’s complaints and instead shamelessly offered suggestions.

“I think it’s okay. Mom, why don’t you arrange one for my dad tomorrow?

This way everyone gets a share, and there can be no favoritism, right?”

…

Let me talk about two things.

On Qi Jia’s side, after hanging up the phone, he kept frowning and thinking about something.

What happened today made him feel that his original three-year plan was still too slow and he had to speed up.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, then picked up his phone and called Chen Yuwen.

“What’s wrong, Qi Jia?”

Chen Yuwen was having New Year’s Eve dinner with her family. She heard that it was Qi Jia’s call, so she went outside to answer it.

“Sister, have you contacted the person I asked you to contact before?” Qi Jia asked.

Hearing this, Chen Yuwen answered without hesitation,

“I have contacted you. Editor Zhang and several professors are very interested in your ideas.

Editor Zhang hopes to have some time after the New Year to chat with you in person.

In addition, the team of writers you asked me to help you keep an eye on has also made some progress, but if it is to be finalized, we will have to wait until after the new year.”

“Okay! I understand. Let’s leave it at that for now.” Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief and was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly said, “By the way, sister, Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year, thank you for your hard work, have a good rest.” Chen Yuwen also said with a smile,

I hung up the phone.

Qi Jia took out his tablet and opened a movie script that he had written in his spare time.
