When Wen Jiaxuan left, Wu Zehao had not gone far. He walked to the intersection inside the residential area and happened to see Wu Zehao just walking out of the community gate.
He followed him at a brisk pace, just like a secret agent, sometimes hiding behind trees, sometimes blending into the crowd. He always maintained a certain distance from Wu Zehao, but in fact, Wu Zehao never turned back once.
The Vietnamese restaurant was on the fourth floor of the nearby mall. Wen Jiaxuan was afraid that Wu Zehao’s blind date hadn’t arrived yet, so he deliberately wandered around the mall for twenty minutes before coming to the restaurant.
As he approached the restaurant’s entrance, Wen Jiaxuan immediately saw Wu Zehao sitting by the window with an elegant older sister, and the two of them were chatting and laughing.
Wen Jiaxuan pursed his lips, feeling somewhat uncomfortable for no apparent reason.
“Hello, how many of you?”
The waiter’s words interrupted Wen Jiaxuan’s thoughts. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, “One.”
“All right, please come in.”
Wu Zehao had his back to the entrance, so he couldn’t see Wen Jiaxuan.
Wen Jiaxuan quietly slipped into the booth behind Wu Zehao. There was a half-height partition separating the two booths, adorned with flowers. If you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t see the occupants of the adjacent booth, but if you leaned in close, you could still overhear their conversation.
“Here’s the menu,” the waiter handed a thick booklet to Wen Jiaxuan.
Wen Jiaxuan didn’t dare to speak for fear of being discovered. He furrowed his brow and flipped through the menu, thinking, “Isn’t Vietnam known for its affordable prices? Why is Vietnamese cuisine so expensive here?”
After looking for a while, he finally pointed to the Vietnamese noodles priced at forty-eight yuan per bowl, with a pained expression on his face, and looked at the waiter.
“Do you need anything else?” the waiter asked.
Wen Jiaxuan quickly shook his head.
“Okay, that’s a total of forty-eight,” the waiter said.
The cost of this undercover operation was really high.
Wen Jiaxuan, with a sense of resignation, took out his phone to scan the QR code for payment. He had just managed to save up a thousand yuan earlier in the day, and now it was dwindling rapidly. It seemed like he would need to work extra hours to make up for it when he got home later.
After the waiter left, Wen Jiaxuan leaned back a bit and discreetly tried to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two. Wu Zehao must have said something amusing because the sophisticated lady burst into laughter. Her laughter was melodious, as clear as a bell.
“So, did you start your own business after quitting your job?” The older sister put away her laughter and asked.
“Yes, and what about you?” Wu Zehao followed up.
“Of course, I’m working diligently.”
Wen Jiaxuan thought to himself that Wu Zehao was really strange. It wasn’t a real blind date, so why was he asking about her job?
“I heard from my mom that this is your first time on a blind date?” the older sister said. “It’s quite fateful that you met me on your first try.”
“Yeah, it’s quite a coincidence,” Wu Zehao smiled.

Since he had missed part of their conversation earlier, Wen Jiaxuan didn’t know how the topic had shifted to their conditions.
“In your opinion, how do you think my conditions are?” the elder sister asked.
“It’s pretty good,” Wu Zehao said, “Stable job, beautiful and kind-hearted person.”
The older sister laughed again happily.
Wen Jiaxuan frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. He leaned back on the table, took another bite of noodles, and wondered how his boss, who claimed to be gay, could be so open to girls.
He was distracted and sipping his soup when, accidentally, he choked on it and let out a noticeable cough, “Cough, cough!”
Oh no!
Wen Jiaxuan quickly grabbed a tissue and covered his mouth.
Luckily, Wu Zehao didn’t notice.
He continued to lean in, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
“Have you never met a girl who made your heart race before?”
“No, otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing this.”
“That’s really a pity.”
The older sister finished speaking and began to laugh again.
How can these two get along so well?
Wen Jiaxuan picked up two pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing with a disgruntled expression. At this rate, that older sister would soon fall for Wu Zehao, and when she found out he was gay, it would be a huge blow to her. She might never recover and even lose interest in men.
“What’s there to regret for me?” Wu Zehao replied, “It’s you who’s beautiful and still single.”
“Then why don’t you marry me?” the older sister laughed.
Here it comes! What kind of conversation is this?
Wen Jiaxuan couldn’t help but part a few leaves and discreetly observe the older sister through the gap.
To be honest, that older sister was indeed quite beautiful. It’s no wonder Wu Zehao said such things. But she appeared mature and composed, so why would she be so easily deceived by his boss?
“Would you dare to marry someone like me?” Wu Zehao smiled.
“If you dare to marry me, I dare to marry you. If you want to get married, I’ll be the first in line,” the older sister said jokingly.
Wu Zehao chuckled lightly and didn’t say anything more.
It seemed like the older sister had completely fallen for Wu Zehao, and Wen Jiaxuan was furious.
How did he not see this side of his boss?
Wen Jiaxuan’s sense of justice was burning. He quickly finished his soup, wiped his mouth haphazardly with a tissue, and then boldly stood up from his seat, as if ready to face the consequences.
He had only one thought in his mind now: he couldn’t let his boss harm that girl.
Even if his boss had taken good care of him and guided him in his writing, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to such wrongdoing.
Wen Jiaxuan made up his mind, took a deep breath, and then turned to Wu Zehao. In three steps, he stood next to him and blurted out, “Husband, why are you going on a blind date behind my back?”
A loud clatter.
Wu Zehao’s chopsticks fell to the floor with a crisp sound. He stood there frozen, his right hand still in the position of holding the chopsticks, his expression fixed as he looked at Wen Jiaxuan.
Wen Jiaxuan glanced at the expression of the older sister opposite, who also looked surprised.
Summoning his courage, he took a step forward, sat on Wu Zehao’s lap, wrapped his arms tightly around his neck, and turned to the older sister, saying, “Hello, I’m his boyfriend.”
Wu Zehao remained stiff and didn’t respond. His elder sister, as if joking, said, “I guess what I’m eating is Shanxi cuisine, it has a strong vinegar flavor.”
Wen Jiaxuan found it strange. What was going on with his elder sister’s reaction? After all, he had bravely stepped in to save her.
Wu Zehao took a slow, deep breath and, out of sight from others, firmly gripped Wen Jiaxuan’s waist with his left hand. Through gritted teeth, he asked, “How did you come here?”
Wen Jiaxuan winced in pain, furrowing his brows, and stubbornly replied, “I came to do a good deed!”
Veins bulged on Wu Zehao’s forehead. His right hand mercilessly lifted Wen Jiaxuan’s chin, forcing him to look at the opposite direction, and he said through gritted teeth, “Let me introduce you. This is my college classmate, and she knows I’m gay.”
Huh?
Wen Jiaxuan was dumbfounded.
“Let me introduce again,” Wu Zehao tightened his grip around Wen Jiaxuan’s waist and looked at the opposite direction, “This is my younger boyfriend, a fool.”
He was scolded again…
Wen Jiaxuan shrank his neck and didn’t dare to complain.
Is it still possible to escape now?
If Wu Zehao wasn’t holding him tightly, maybe he could…
“Why blame him? You went on a blind date without a word, of course, he would follow,” the older sister kindly remarked.
“Is that so?” Wu Zehao raised an eyebrow, and as he shifted his legs, Wen Jiaxuan, who was sitting on his lap, also moved up and down slightly. “Did I or did I not tell you?”
“I told you…” Wen Jiaxuan wanted to retract his arms wrapped around Wu Zehao’s neck, but the space between Wu Zehao and the table was too narrow. After squeezing in, he found it hard to move.
“Then why did you follow?” Wu Zehao raised an eyebrow.
“Of course, it’s out of concern,” the older sister chimed in. “A boyfriend like you can make someone feel insecure, especially when you’re going on a blind date.”
“Is that so?” Wu Zehao looked at Wen Jiaxuan and asked, “Is being my boyfriend really that insecure?”
Wen Jiaxuan wished he could find a hole to hide in. Given the situation, why didn’t his boss just speak openly? It was making him so uncomfortable.
…So that’s how it is.
Wu Zehao was angry now. He was intentionally making him uncomfortable and couldn’t back down.
Wen Jiaxuan shook his head in tears, pitifully saying, “I misunderstood.”
“Heh,” Wu Zehao sneered, “Where did that enthusiasm for catching infidelity go just now?”
Wen Jiaxuan bit his lip and didn’t say anything. He didn’t know how he had mustered up the courage earlier. Was it the Vietnamese noodles that gave him the confidence?
“Hey, have you eaten? Sit down and eat together,” the older sister intervened at the right time.
“I… I just had a bowl of noodles,” Wen Jiaxuan said weakly.
Wu Zehao turned to look at him when he heard this and remembered the cough from earlier. He couldn’t help but laugh. “You were eavesdropping behind my back?”
Wen Jiaxuan buried his head even lower and said, “Boss, I won’t do it again in the future…”
“Boss of what?” Wu Zehao furrowed his brow. “Think it over before you call me anything.”
“Boss?” Wen Jiaxuan asked in confusion.
“What did you call me when you came over just now?” Wu Zehao hinted.
“Hus… husband…”
“And then, what happened to me, husband?”
“Husband, I was wrong.”
Wu Zehao’s eyebrows finally relaxed a bit. He looked at the woman across from him, who seemed to be enjoying the drama, and said, “Let’s end it here for today. We can meet again in the future.”
“Alright, let’s leave it at that,” the onlooker said while taking her bag. “Don’t blame him, worrying is normal.”
“You don’t need to speak up for him; this kid deserves it,” Wu Zehao withdrew his gaze and looked at Wen Jiaxuan, saying indifferently, “I wonder how many times his butt needs to suffer before he learns a lesson.”
Wen Jiaxuan was on the verge of tears; he knew his butt was going to suffer again.
These two…
