However, Yu Mo said the following second, “Marriage and career can be handled together. You can live in A City after we get married and carry on with your career, if you want to. I have my career to take care of, as well. I had thought that you would get bored staying at home after we get married. But now, Master Jing has helped us to solve the last problem and I am assured.”


  To hell with you being assured!

  I am not assured!

  Zhao Anan rolled her eyes in annoyance, but Yu Mo did not care about how she reacted. He behaved as if they had known each other for years.

  What did he mean by saying that the last problem was solved?! There were hundreds of problems between them. Nothing was solved yet.

  Zhao Anan felt that she would get dizzy if she continued this conversation with Yu Mo.

  She struck the table hard and bellowed, “Let me tell you the truth. I don’t like men! I like women! So, forget about me.”


  Yu Mo threw a calm look at her and took a sip of the tea. “It doesn’t matter if you like men or women. What matters is that you are a woman and I like women.”


  Zhao Anan was totally defeated. Where did her grandmother get this weirdo from? But this man seemed to know Jing Yichen as well, so was he someone whom Jing Yichen had found for her?

  He was way beyond her ability to deal with. No one, apart from Jing Yichen, had made her feel so frenzied in her limited lifetime.

  Zhao Anan collapsed onto the table, helplessly and showed a bitter face. “Mr. Mayor, are we enemies?”


  “Of course not!”


  “Then why are you forcing me to die?”


  “But your family agreed for this blind date. I never forced you.”


  “But I don’t like you, can’t you see that?” Zhao Anan was beyond caring about her words now.

  Yu Mo said confidently, “It is okay, you will like me soon.”


  “I have someone in my heart already!”


  “I don’t mind, as long as you are mine, your heart won’t drift away.”


  “I don’t like the idea of a divorced man with a child.”


  “My boy is very docile and I have nothing to do with my ex-wife, so don’t worry.”


  “I don’t like old men.”


  “I am just eight years older than you, not that old. Actually, I am physically stronger than most people, so you don’t need to worry about our fun in the bed.”


  Zhao Anan rolled her eyes speechlessly and dropped dead on the table.

  She was not going to marry this man. He was way too scary, scarier than Jing Yichen. He seemed to be cheekier than her cousin, too. How terrible!

  She had just gotten rid of Mu Qing and now she was falling into Yu Mo’s hands?

  Was every mayor so good at turning things upside down?

  “Any more questions?” Yu Mo asked Zhao Anan like a gentleman.

  Zhao Anan replied feebly, “No.”


  It was not necessary to ask anything more. She would only bring more trouble to herself.

  “Alright then, let’s go.” Yu Mo stood up. He picked up the car keys and started walking.

  Zhao Anan looked up and asked in confusion, “Where to?”


  Yu Mo spilled out three words as he looked at her calmly. “Civil Affairs Office.”


  “What?!” Zhao Anan got so startled that she almost fell off the chair.

  “A fortune-teller told me that today is a very auspicious day for marrying.”


  “I am not going!” Zhao Anan bellowed furiously, “I am not marrying you!”


  What was wrong with him? They had met only an hour ago and now they were getting registered? Was he mental?

  How greedy was this man?

  “Then why are you on a blind date with me, if you don’t want to marry me?” Yu Mo seemed to find her behaviour strange.

  Zhao Anan’s eyes widened. What was he talking about?

  So, as per him, coming for a blind date meant agreeing to marry him? How stupid could this person be?

  It was impossible to talk with him about anything.

  How did this man become a mayor? Could he be the reason for B city’s economy going down these days?

  Zhao Anan could not stand it any more. She needed to get away from this man as soon as possible.

  She was about to leave when the door of the elegant room was pushed open. Zhao Anan looked up and was delighted. “Zheng Jing?!”


  Before she could give it any more thought, she turned to Yu Mo and said, “Mr. Mayor, I am so sorry, but my boyfriend is here to pick me up. You can continue your conversation with my cousin. I am going now!”


  Before Yu Mo could react, Zhao Anan took hold of Zheng Jing’s arm. She ignored the startled look on Zheng Jing’s face and said, “My darling, what took you so long? Someone just asked me to get married to him at the Civil Affairs Office. Good that you came, otherwise I would have been kidnapped. How scary!”


  Zhao Anan pinched hard on his waist, winking at him.

  Zheng Jing felt goose bumps rising all over his body after hearing “my darling”. He almost puked out his breakfast after hearing her cloyingly sweet voice.

  Zhao Anan was indeed not good at behaving like a sweet girl. She was a pretty girl, much prettier than the majority. But she was not suited to be a sweet girl.

  He was sure that he had a bruise on his waist by now, considering how hard she had pinched him.

  Zheng Jing tried to ignore the pain and nodded at Yu Mo with an embarrassed look. “Mayor Yu, I am sorry about Anan’s unruly behaviour. Please, forgive her.”


  “It is okay. She is not a sly person. But if I had known that she is your girlfriend, I would not have agreed to this blind date with her.” Yu Mo still did not look pissed.

  Zhao Anan looked at them in astonishment. “You two know each other?”


  Zheng Jing could not embarrass Zhao Anan, so he could not explain to him about their relationship. He squeezed out a smile and said, “Yes, and for many years. We even worked on a case together.”


  Zhao Anan thought that it made sense. Yu Mo used to be a police officer and was director of the Public Security Bureau. They were not in the same city, but they could have collaborated for a case.

  She did not dwell upon it any longer and started to drag Zheng Jing outside the room. “Darling, let’s go now! My cousin needs to talk with Mr. Mayor and we don’t need to be the third wheel here.”


  What she meant was that if they lingered on any longer, Jing Yichen would catch them and she would not be able to leave.

  Zheng Jing of course knew what she meant. He had “accidentally” come to rescue her, anyways.
