Puxin Female Steamed Shrimp Head.

Outside a luxuriously decorated restaurant.

Gu Chenan looked up at the restaurant's opulent decor with a sense of helplessness.

He had thought that bringing the female lead back from the novel world to reality would begin an epic love story, at least on par with Romeo and Juliet.

But who would have guessed that the first thing upon returning would be going to a blind date.

I left Qianmo waiting alone at home to come on this ridiculous date!

Gu Chenan gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that his father would really come and break his legs, he wouldn't be here for anything!

"The sooner I finish this date, the sooner I can go home and take Qianmo out sightseeing."

Gu Chenan straightened his clothes and walked into the restaurant.

Led by the restaurant staff, Gu Chenan entered a private room.

Inside, a woman wearing a black long dress with huge earrings was playing with her phone, looking bored.

The moment Gu Chenan appeared, the woman's expression filled with anger.

The woman's name was Liu Wan, a department manager at a company in the magical city.

Originally, she didn't want to come on a blind date either, but due to pressure from her family, she reluctantly agreed.

However, she hadn't expected that even though she deliberately arrived half an hour late, Gu Chenan would be even later.

This made Liu Wan quite displeased with Gu Chenan.

But when she saw Gu Chenan, her eyes visibly widened, her expression quite surprised.

She had seen photos of Gu Chenan before, and he looked quite handsome in them.

But she hadn't expected the real person to be even more handsome than the photos, and with Gu Chenan's nearly perfect physique, Liu Wan was utterly amazed.

"Gu... Gu Chenan?" Liu Wan immediately put away her anger and greeted him.

Gu Chenan apologized sheepishly, "I'm sorry, something came up and I was delayed."

"It's fine, I haven't been waiting long," Liu Wan said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and subtly adjusting her posture.

Gu Chenan nodded and sat down across from Liu Wan, then observed the decor around them.

To be honest, while the restaurant's environment couldn't compare to those he had visited in the novel world, it was still quite nice overall.

After casually ordering a few dishes, the food was soon served.

Gu Chenan and Liu Wan began to chat idly as they ate.

"How... how did you get here?" Liu Wan asked.

Gu Chenan replied casually, "By taxi."

Liu Wan nodded, her brow furrowing slightly, "You don't live with Uncle Gu, do you?"

"That's right, I rent a place on Huaibei Road."

"Rent..."

Liu Wan was stunned for a moment, averting her gaze uncomfortably. After pondering for a moment, she looked back at Gu Chenan's face and physique,

Finally, she swallowed and asked, "So... where do you work now?"

"Didn't my dad tell you?" Gu Chenan looked up and said, "I'm currently unemployed."

Liu Wan's expression froze, and her hand stopped mid-way through picking up food.

She was at a loss for words.

You don't have a car, you don't have a house, and you don't even have a job, what are you doing on a blind date?

And you were so impolite as to keep me, a woman, waiting for so long!

What, do you think just because you're handsome you can rely on being a pretty boy?

I'm a department manager after all. I'm not saying I need to find a rich man, but at least someone on my level, right?

How could I possibly be with you, a poor nobody who has nothing going for him except looks?

Liu Wan considered for a moment, then put her chopsticks down on the plate and said, "Well, in that case, let me be frank."

"Actually, I only came here to appease my family. I admit your looks are very much to my taste, but we're from different worlds."

"I'm currently a department manager at Dragon Power Group with a stable job and considerable monthly income. I have my own house and car. As for you..."

"In short, you understand what I mean. It's impossible between us."

Gu Chenan wasn't angry after hearing this, after all, this was his current situation in reality.

He waved his hand and explained, "Miss Liu, you misunderstand. I'm also here because of my family, I don't..."

But before he could finish, Liu Wan gave him a disdainful look.

"You don't need to explain. Your father spoke to my family several times to arrange this blind date. I think if it wasn't your intention, your father wouldn't have gone to such lengths, right?"

"I also understand how you feel right now, after all, you know exactly what my conditions are."

"So, it's impossible between us, and let me give you a piece of advice: don't dream of living off a woman."

Liu Wan took a few napkins to wipe her mouth and stood up, saying, "I'm full. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving."

Liu Wan's arrogant and disrespectful attitude thoroughly angered Gu Chenan.

When the hell did I ever have any intentions towards you, and when did I ever want to live off a woman?

You're not just rejecting me, this is outright insulting!

Although Gu Chenan was no longer the young master of the Gu family, his experiences over this time had already brought about earth-shattering changes in him.

"Bang!"

Gu Chenan slammed his chopsticks on the table and narrowed his eyes at Liu Wan: "Miss Liu, every word I said was true. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business, but I still want to advise you, don't be so full of yourself, it's very off-putting."

Liu Wan stumbled, clearly startled by Gu Chenan's actions.

But the next second, she was furious. You, Gu Chenan, are just a stay-at-home loser, where do you get the courage to get angry with me?

Liu Wan glared at Gu Chenan and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Chenan wiped his mouth, stood up, and raised an eyebrow, "What, you don't understand?"

"Fine, then I'll put it in a way you can understand."

Liu Wan nodded arrogantly, "Go ahead, let me hear what you mean exactly."

"Delusional woman, shrimp head."

After saying this, Gu Chenan turned to leave, but Liu Wan, after hearing these words, was stunned for a moment, then burst into rage.

"Gu Chenan!"

"Anything else?" Gu Chenan turned back and asked.

"What right do you have to say that about me?" Liu Wan, as if hit in a sore spot, hysterically rushed over and pointed at Gu Chenan, cursing, "Aren't you just relying on your good looks to be a pretty boy? What, am I wrong?"

"I'm a department manager at Dragon Power Group, how dare you, a poor nobody, call me delusional? You have nothing, you're the delusional one!"

Liu Wan's face, which wasn't pretty to begin with, became somewhat distorted with anger, like an ugly goblin.

"Heh."

Gu Chenan didn't deign to argue with her, just casually smiled and said, "Don't shout. I know you're a department manager, no need to emphasize it."

As he spoke, Gu Chenan spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I already have a girlfriend. As for you, you'd better spend more time on blind dates."

Having said this, Gu Chenan left the restaurant without looking back, ignoring Liu Wan's continued ranting behind him.

He hailed a taxi at the restaurant entrance and returned to his rented apartment.
